Time Management

Lately I've been finding it hard to get things done.  This isn't a new problem for me, I've gone through this before.  I have been wanting to write a blog post and I figured I might as well embrace my distractions and talk about them. 

Here are my favorite time wasters.

1. Animal Crossing (both on the Wii and the DS)- I have been playing this game daily lately.

2. Pintrest- I am fairly new to this sight, but it didn't take long for me to get addicted. It seems like I am always looking to the internet for inspiration and now I can  keep track of all of the awesome things I find by pinning them.

3. The Internet- I am just going to save time and say the entire internet is one big distraction for me. I read blogs. I check Facebook. I watch videos on YouTube. I read various message boards. I do all of this daily and it can take as little or as much time as I need it too.

That is all for this blog post tonight. I hope you will forgive me, but I am watching Mansfield Park as I write this...and it's kind of distracting.

Sumer

Today was a day of firsts for me. 

3 things I did today that I've never done before:

1. I went to Trader Joe's.

This was a cute store, but it was so crowded that it was almost impossible to just look around at all the stuff. I felt like I was just in everybody's way. I want to go back, but I'll try for a less busy time.

2. I went to Crate and Barrel.

I've seen catalogs from this store, but I have never actually been inside of it until today. It was a very nice store. If only I had the money to shop there.

3. I went to Orange Leaf.

This is where you can load up on all the frozen yogurt and toppings you want and they charge you by the ounce. It was very good and I'm sure I will be back soon. I know my husband will love this place.

I never meant to leave this blog dormant for the summer, it just kind of happened. Once you get out of the habit, it's hard to pick it back up again. Instead of writing about all the things I've done this summer I'm just going to post some pictures for you to look at. Sadly, there aren't many of those either. (Another habit needing to be picked back up.)

That's all for today. I'll be at the zoo tomorrow, so maybe I'll have another post soon.

Rainy Day

 

I love rainy days.

Don't get me wrong, I am still anxiously awaiting the arrival of summer.
I think today would be perfect if it were about 30' warmer.

In honor of the cold, rainy weather we're having today, I'm making soup for dinner.
This is the first time that I have ever made soup.
It's a recipe for potato soup that I found on the internet yesterday.
It's been simmering in the crock pot all day and my house is really starting to smell good.

I'm ready for  summer, but I know that as soon as it gets here, I will miss the days when I could curl up with a blanket and a bowl of soup and listen to the rain fall.

Here's to enjoying the day we've been given.

ready for summer

 

I'm tired of being stuck inside.

You Capture: Red

The theme for You Capture this week was red, although with all the snow we got, I'm thinking it should have been white.

I got so distracted by the storm that I forgot about You Capture until this morning...and that is when I took these pictures.

That's all I've got for this week.

You Capture: Happy

The theme for You Capture this week was happy. I wish I would have had a little more time and inspiration this week, but I didn't.

I did manage to take a few pictures this week, so I am HAPPY about that.

Here they are:

You Capture: Circles

This weeks on You Capture our theme was circles.

I'm still pretty new to You Capture and I seem to have a problem with waiting until the last minute to get my pictures. Luckily, this week was pretty easy because there are circles everywhere.

These are a few of the pics I took.
