week in the life 2012 - monday

This past weekend was a whirl-wind. Our base hosted the Thunder over Louisville air show aircraft. I helped out on both Friday and Saturday. I stayed up WAY too late and got little sleep... I was still tired come Monday morning. It wasn't until I came home and was looking at Twitter, when I remembered that today was the start of Week in the Life...ooppps.

No worries, I still remembered most of my day and managed to snap a few photos that evening.

6:30am Alarm goes off and I hit SNOOZE (several times)

7am I finally get out of bed and manage to be out the door by 0745. I stop off at Heini Brothers for a latte and make my way to work. This week I'm working in the Training office helping get some training programs organized and easier to implement (that mainly equals office work)

8am-4:30pm I spent at work. Also took care of scheduling a home inspection (I'm trying not to get too excited about the house because it's been a long process and who knows how it will go)

1pm I finally broke away for lunch. Panera carry-out. I love me some mediterranean veggie sandwiches

6pm I made mini penne with meatballs and ate some dinner with Andrea. We caught up on life and hung out for a bit. Hilarious quote from Andrea, "I have three weaknesses: hippies, hispanic men, and captain morgan... not necessarily in that order." Love that girl... an awesome friend and great roomie. 

7pm the Blizzard Fairy arrives with a Reese's blizzard, YUM

8pm laid back with new Domino mag and some HGTV, did a little blog reading

at some point I fall asleep on the couch and wake up around 11pm and make my way into bed. Soooo sleepy.

playing catch up - again

I've been out of town for practically THREE weeks in a row. I was already "behind" with Project Life before I went out of town. I came back home on Friday and worked Sat & Sun. Last night I dove into the pile of photos and papers I had strewn about my Project Life table. I knocked out 4 weeks worth and still have 2 more to be fully  "caught up". I'm loving how the project is progressing and seeing my style develop more. I'm not a "scrapbooker", but I've always loved paper and scissors and stickers. I'm hoping to finish up the two weeks today.

If playing catch up isn't enough, it's almost time to do "A Week in the Life 2012". I did this project last year for the first time and I LOVED how my album turned out (part uno, part dos). I did a hybrid layout by making a photo book in iLife and then adding embellishments and writing into it after it was delivered. I kept up day by day with blog posts throughout the week. Go to Ali Edwards' (documentor of life extraordinare) blog to find out more of the details. I'm always inspired by her projects and it's really fun to follow along with everyone else that joins in for this project. 

I don't know if I'm going to plan anything specific or just sorta wing it like I did last year. I am kinda liking her 8.5x11 digital templates. We'll see how it goes!
