where did you go?

sheez, this weekend went by too quick!
i wanted it to last longer.

saturday:

scrapped another a layout for the wedding album...

ran 3.01 miles in 30:36.
second time to be able to do a 3 in 30.
so proud of myself!

watched the movie Les Miserables with maiya.
omigosh...
that movie was so good!
i cried so many times.
ya gotta see it.

(used the aviary app on my iphone)

sunday:

blog surfed in a quiet home early in the a.m.
i love it when i have the house to myself around that time.
no interruptions.

phone conversation with my sis jo.
so happy that she & i are so close.
we can totally be honest with each other.
we can be stupid goofy with each other too.

mopped the floors and cleaned the bathrooms.
yuck-o on the bathrooms.
note one of my favez to do.
for some reason i enjoy mopping tho'.
here's another secret:
i love to vacuum too.
i find both seem to clear my mind.
plus work up a nice sweat.

pretty much chilled the rest of the day of blog surfing and posting.
i kinda like these lazy days at times.
no worries, just laziness.
love laziness.

weekends come back.
please.
i'm waiting....

California Love

we're finally here in edwards afb of cali! and i'm so relieved. we're finally home.

anyway, we're here! it took us approximately 1,240 miles to get here from lacey, wa! wow! the road trip was actually pretty smooth and the scenery was beautiful. there were specks of green over the sandy brownness, the mountains were so gorgeous.

we first stopped in lincoln city, oregon and checked in at surftides. we were able to enjoy the oregon coast beach. dang it was windy, a bit cold and and the water was freezing but the views were spectacular.

 the next day we were on the road and landed in redding, ca:

then the next couple of nights were in concord, ca.  we went to the waterpark near by.  unfortuntately i did not get a chance to take any photos while we were there.  i was going to buy an underwater camera over there, but they were selling them for $14.99 a pop, w/c i felt was a bit of a rip off!  so i settled on a brochure and scrapped in my gratitude journal.  but we did go for some semi-homemade breakfast at the local denny's and took a few pix of our sleepyheads before heading to the waterpark.  we also did the jelly belly bean tour and got lots of jelly beans of all kinds of flavors.

i got sunburnt a bit but not as bad as it was when i went snorkeling in hawaii last year.  thank gosh for major sunscreen applications.

our final road trip was wednesday to our new home...

i love me some california lovin.  check out this video by clicking here.

we are off to do some cruisin of the area.  see ya!

running behind on schedule

hmmm...i write out my to do lists on either paper or my nifty sticky notes app on my droid...and sh*t!  i'm kinda running behind on my to-do's today...i got so caught up on checking my finances and making a correction that i had emailed someone in error, hopefully that's all resolved.  then i got caught up on uploading and labeling my photos for my "everyday project."  hmmmm?

and now what am i doing?  realized  i haven't blogged all weekend...well i was busy having fun this past weekend.  saturday...my hubz got me some new running shoes from South Sound Running:

did a jog/walk around the lake, heritage park:

did a little bit of people watching and had lunch at chopsticks in olympia, i had the tofu sauteed w/ onions fresh salad bowl and da hubz had the wonton soup, yumm-0! we sat at the window bar, which was cool since i've never sat there before:

did a walmart grocery run:

then home and relaxed and played on our droids and then i looked through our civil wedding album:

hmmm...might have to take a few pix of it and post it here someday.

then sunday....

scrapped an LO for our Hawaii Honeymoon album (will post this one at a later date):

went for a road bike at Chehalis Trail:

we got hungry and had a slice of pizza at Vic's Pizzeria:

took one of my infamous bathroom selfies and saw their chalkboard and made my mark:

then chilled at home, did some house stuff, picked up my daughter, really missed her during the weekend, but so happy she got home last night:

and now it's good morning monday 10:54 a.m. and sh*t....i'm definitely behind on schedule.  oh well.  i'm on vacay anyway....nothing always goes as planned right?

well it's about time to put another LO... i did this for our 2nd wedding.  this is one of my fave photos of us.   i got this printed in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10.  this one is the 5x7, mostly used red AC cardstock and then used scraps that were used for the wedding decor.  really love how this one turned out....this LO will be the last page in our wedding album:

did a lot of tone on tone deetz:

have a good monday!  tfl!
