365 days and random thoughts

I vowed to be better at blogging in 2010.  Well, not really blogging, I see it more as journaling.  Except the world can see it.  One reason was Ali.  She inspires me.  I don't know how I happened upon her blog.  But I do love it.  She is journaling every day of 2010, through a picture or a note.  I don't think I'll get a post or picture everyday, but I'm trying.

I also love this site, can you guess why.

Here's an M factoid or a BOK (bit of knowledge)....I love paper journals.  Ask Ashli.  I have a collection under my nightstand.  Pretty ones, plain ones, lined pages, plain pages, a collection.  I always buy with the intention to journal.  

Here's proof, a picture of my nightsand taken last night....reading material, magazines, one journal (bottom upper left), lotion for me feet, lotion for my hands.  The black journal is Lilia's.  She likes to write in her journal every night.  She's much better at it than I am.  The journal under the little lotion is from my friend.  It's a "circle journal", where we write back and forth to each other.  I'm not good at that either.

Another M factoid.  I love cake plates.  I was in a boutique a while back.  Chatted with the sales lady about cake plates.   She took my email address and said she'd let me know when some new one's arrived.  Well she emailed me last week.  "6 and 9 inch plates are in....jade green and light pink milky glass".  Oh, heart be still.  I responded that I would take an inventory of what I have.

I have 16!

7 clear

3 white

2 black

2 pink (one light, one dark)

1 pea green

1 dark red

I told her I'd pass this time...but keep your eye out on a BLUE one, I might be interested :)

Yesterday JH was recognized at school as a school citizen who "Puts Things First".  He hated going on stage.  He hated standing in the hall for a picture.

He is so dang cute.

Before I entered the school, I saw Lilia from across the parking lot.  She was outside at recess, running around with her friends.  She had brought her green sequined purse with her to school.  Oops.  There it was, swung over her shoulder as she ran, readjusting it as it slipped off .... oh wait, she had to stop and sit to apply lipgloss.  Love it!  I was cracking up in the car.  I talked to Mrs. A after school.  Lilia should not have her purse AND lipgloss with her at school.  But she too thinks Lilia is way too much!

I survived Tuesday.  The first night of 3 kid activities.  I'm going to enjoy the silence now.

Good night.
