HI


It's Wednesday.  It's sunny out (cold, but I'll take the SUN!)  I'm drinking my coffee.  And I feel chatty. 
Wanna join me?

I'm a day late for Virtual Coffee with Amy.  Sadly, I've been absent for the coffee talk over there for months.  I think I mentioned that I now work on Tuesday's, so my opportunity for chit-chatting is pretty much gone.  Maybe I should shoot for Wednesday's, eh? 

Anyway,  how are things going in your world?  How's the weather?  The kids?  I'm glad January is almost done.  It seems like a blur of a month, doesn't it? 

And it's been a weird January for me, this year.  I always look forward to  January 1st because it's a new start, a clean slate.  But this year I just wasn't feeling it.  I kept waiting for some motivation to hit me, some inspiration, something..... anything......

Finally, just this week, I've been clunked over the head with some good January juices.   A little late is better than never, right?     Sooo, I've been inspired and motivated and it feels good. 


I'm back to doing my morning work-outs.    I think just starting there helps get everything else in line.  I feel so much more energetic and capable and ready to handle what life throws at me when I get up, first thing, and work up a good sweat! 

Oh and I'm setting a goal for 2012 to clean out every closet/drawer/toy bin and cabinet in this house.  It's time.  We've lived here for almost 12 years.  I don't think I've ever lived in one home for so long.  The problem with that, is that things tend to collect and then multiply.   So, I'm going through everything with the same tenacity as I would if a move was in our immediate future, which it isn't, but I'm trying to keep myself extra motivated.  Plus, tossing stuff out is so therapeutic.  It really feels good, you should try it! 

What else? 
Oh, this is BIG in my world.  I got a new camera bag.  (HERE) 

I am really liking it.  I mean it's big and sort of reminds me of a diaper bag. 
But, I can fit my camera AND my iPad in there as well as the few personal items I need.  YAY.
I think this is bag is going to be my best pal. 
I love the look of it too.  I have to say, it is just soooo me! 

Ahhh, just gulped down my last swig of coffee. 
I'm off to finish getting ready. 
This little guy and I.....

..... we have library story time soon. 
You're jealous, aren't you.  *wink*
And then it's lunch, and then I run him to school, and then pick him up, and then pick his brother up. 
My day of shuttling kids resumes!

Thanks for chatting.
I think I just needed to unload a bit.
Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!!!!

first... january has been the same for me. blah.

second... I was doing SO GOOD with running and working out, then we ALL got sick. and I have yet to hop back on the wagon. I have a 4 mile race im doing in a week and a half. Guess I should get some street time in.

third- have you seen the declutter calendar? Its free. its online and you can print it out. It has a small chore for each day of the year to declutter and simplify your house. and if you miss one, its totally easy to catch up on it the next day. Or- if you miss the first 3+ weeks, like you have (it started january 1) it will be cake to catch up. Let me know if you want the link :)

fourth... i guess thats it. I need to feed the heathens lunch and get Gavin to school :)

I adore the sun...even when it's cold. We've have the strangest weather here lately.
Your coffee looks delish!
The kids are good...a little bit of cabin fever, but overall doing OK.
I need to get in the groove and start moving too. Good for you for getting out there!
I'm on a purging quest too...take it baby steps at a time :)
Nice bag!
Have a wonderful week!

Love hearing what's up with you! That camera bag is gorgeous. So funny that you mention cleaning out your drawers I have been planning on doing the same thing. I wonder if I really will.. Seems like the days just aren't long enough for everything I want to do!!

Hugs, Linda

January 25th....the day my baby entered the world 4 weeks early. Sorry - I get easily derailed because my life is all things Delaney these days. Love the camera bag and I think it fits you well. Can't wait to see you soon. Praying Monday is the big day to bring her home so I can put my camera to use.
