Busy bee!

I have been super productive today.

We went to church, and even made it there early to help with this prayer room thing. Went back home and ate lunch, then I drove up to my school to get some stuff I forgot for an early meeting at another school tomorrow. While I did that, Jason went to the Apple store to get his computer fixed.

After that I called my friend Gabriel to wish him a happy birthday, while driving to Tuesday Morning. I got us new pillows, plus I bought gifts for my Secret Santa and my aide (she's fabulous. and I couldn't do my job without her). I went to Walgreens to pick up my prescription and some more shampoo. Then I went to King Soopers and did our grocery shopping and got the last part of my gift for my aide (baking cookies!).

Theeeen I finally came home. And did all our laundry (okay, some of it is still in the dryer). Then I did one load of dishes. Then I worked out, and ended up walking 4.5 miles just because I felt great! Then I made dinner for us (which was a rotisserie chicken from the grocery heated up, steamed broccoli, and hawaiian bread). Then I did more dishes and scrubbed the kitchen completely clean. I even took everything off the counters and scrubbed.

Oh and somewhere in there, Jason and I tidied up the whole house and put everything away. Like every pair of shoes that I own. They had all ended up in the living room... Oh well. And now I'm intending to sit down and read some of Deathly Hallows because I've been "reading" it for two months and that's just ABSURD. Because I'm a crazy fast reader! But all I want to do lately is watch TV. Buuuut it's too hard to read because I am now absolutely wired from running around all day. I'm glad it's only 8:30, because I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to go to sleep or even sit still for a couple of hours.

These are the days when I love being my mother's daughter. ;) I feel so accomplished and so much more ready to start my week! I'm planning for this week to be MUCH better than last week, and for it to go lightning fast!

Texas, I'll see you in a week.

Goodness child, I love days like that! It's like all of this energy comes from a source you didn't know existed. I'm glad you got so much done and I am so glad you're going to be in Texas so soon! Huzzah!

Espana!

Spain just won the World Cup! Alas, I was rooting for the Netherlands. But I've been to Spain! So I'm excited for them too. The view from the Alhambra in Granada.

First Finished Quilt!

Image
I am so proud. After over a month of working on it (off and on), I finally finished my first quilt! For some reason I was having anxiety about quilting and especially binding it, but it ended up being totally fine. I don't know why I was so worried. It turned out great! Mission accomplished... he likes it!

Mother's Day

Happy day after Mother's Day! I hope you got to enjoy the day with your mom, or if you can at least talk to her on the phone. I'm writing this the week before Mother's Day, but I plan to Skype with my mom, and my mother-in-law will be in town staying with us! I really wanted to make something for my mom and mother-in-law this year. I can only make so many random things for myself, so I love getting to make things for my family! Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
