- We just got back from celebrating my cousin's wedding. True to form for all of us VerHoeven's...it was an amazing party! It was fun to see everyone; only a few of us weren't there and boy did they miss out! It was a red-letter night, too...Becky and Laura got none other than the elusive Sean on the dance floor for something besides a slow dance! It was so much fun...and Jonathan will make a great addition to our family!
- Did you know that dogs are more than dogs?... We have three babies and I didn't intend to speak of them that way when I became their mommy; but now I look at them sleeping on the floor and just love them so much. They bug me from time to time and it sure is easier to leave them for a weekend than find childcare for actual kids...but they're my babies. I won't pretend that their life is more important than your human child's is...or that they are more important than any actual human children we may have. But until then...they are my babies!
- All things Disney are great! Whatever...don't emal me about it:-)
- My house is a mess!...Sean once said to me (and I intend to scrapbook it one of these days)... "we are educated people...why can't we keep our house cleaned?" I am telling you...it's SO frustrating. In fairness to us... there are parts of the mess that cannot be dealt with until the whole office remodel issue is finished...but I have no excuse for the breakfast nook debacle:-) Plus...now that I've seen a demonic mouse scurry across our kitchen floor I'm even more frustrated...I just wish I was also more motivated. I am slightly more motivated...but I'm too distracted by everything else...like blogs...or to-do lists.
- Yogurt and granola parfaits are amazing!
- I believe myself to be a "Producer" type of late person. I learned this in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I am constantly making to-do lists...constantly trying to press more events into less time... ugh... to-do lists are great, but what about when those lists don't get accomplished?
- I have a renewed interest in eating more healthfully...is that a word? Many things led to this revelation AGAIN:-) I read an article about women's 2-4 year sagas of getting in better shape/losing weight. It's inspiring...because they were far more out of shape than I am and some of them had far more obstacles than I do or did. Plus...I saw my aunt this weekend and she lost 45 pounds and she looks amazing! Hmmm....I wish I wish Coke was healthy! It's a sickness:-)
- I am going to school tomorrow to work on my classroom again. I am moving classrooms this year. Many of us are moving because we have 8 new classrooms being built. Some of us are moving to new rooms and some us...me...are moving into existing rooms left empty by the other movers. So...I worked two afternoons last week and still am not done! I declared to Sean that I would go to school one more day but this time leave at a more normal school day time...like leaving at 7 or 8. So I'm thinking that if I can leave the house at a decent time then I'll have several hours to finally finish putting my room back together. Then I won't worry about school stuff again until August.
- I happened upon a local photography website today and discovered that the photog is using the catchphrase of a well-known scrapbooker on her website and I'm not quite sure what to do about it...email her?...email the photog?...hmmm...more thinking will be done.
- T-minus 9 days until we leave for Creation Fest! I'll be sure to post pictures when we get back!
So, in conclusion of these highlights and observations... life is good!
