Project 365 ~ Day 51 (February 20, 2009) Friday

TGIF! I love Fridays. I believe that started when I was working at Honda and would look forward to Friday nights. Our shift at Honda started a half an hour earlier on Friday evenings, meaning we would get out of there by 12:30 a.m. instead of at 1 a.m.! That half an hour seemed to make a world of difference. Now that I have been off work (for approx. six years now), my Friday nights are still my favorites. For me, it is a night of relaxing, enjoying my free time, and watching television late into the night. Sometimes in the past, I would light candles and drink a glass of wine while watching a movie on TV. All by myself. I felt so loved by me. There's nothing wrong with pampering yourself and everyone should do something like that for themselves from time to time. Something that is relaxing and makes you feel happy and warm all over. Something for just you.

Project 365 ~ Day 50 (February 19, 2009) Thursday

Today is the 50th day of the year. Not sure why I mentioned that! LOL On my mind today, however, is something sad. A dear lady that worked in the childcare department at our church passed away unexpectedly. She was only a couple or so years older than me! She had gotten pneumonia and finally ended up in the hospital a couple of weeks later. She died that weekend. Peyton worked with her on Monday nights and at other times at church. We didn't go to the funeral as it was during school hours and I thought it best that she remember Rachael the way she was and not what she looked like at the funeral home. The sad part though is that Peyton didn't get to say her good-byes to her at the viewing. We had wanted to go to that, but things happened that prevented us from doing so. I really regret not getting her there even though I physically couldn't. I will be touching base with Peyton and I will ask her how she feels about Rachael's passing.

Project 365 ~ Day 49 (February 18, 2009)

Today is Wednesday the 18th. I have been concentrating this morning on things that I need to get caught up on: phone calls, bill paying, finishing recipes for a recipe swap (scrapbooking group), etc. I procrastinate way too much! I have asked God to help me be better about getting things done on time and not waiting to the last minute to do so. Be careful for what you ask God to help you with! Be ready for what happens when He begins to teach you a lesson! Because I procrastinated, all kinds of things happened (a chain of events) that would not have happened had I not put things off to the last minute. Wow! I could see God teaching me a lesson in every step of the way! I am very aware now of consequences to our actions, late and otherwise.

Project 365 ~ Day 48 (February 17, 2009) Tuesday

Today is the 17th of the month already. Time sure is flying by. I think that the older I get, the more it seems to evaporate.

Project 365 ~ Day 47 (February 16, 2009) Monday

Peyton's back in her school today although I am not sure she's very happy about it?! Hmm....not sure why but I will be trying to find out. Her high school is very over-crowded and students get lost in the shuffle of things. It can be very overwhelming for a student with ADD.

Project 365 ~ Day 46 (February 15, 2009)

Yesterday was a very busy day. Hunter had a basketball game in the morning, then we went to his baseball practice for two hours, then had basketball team pictures taken and then he had another basketball game! His team won both games. Woo-hoo! They are in second place out of eight (8) teams! His team is the "Rockets". They wear red shirts and black shorts, and their jerseys are either white or black, according to whether they are the home team or visitor at any given game.

Project 365 ~ Day 45 (February 14, 2009) Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Even though today is Valentine's Day, our busy Saturday schedule goes on as normal. For Valentine's Day, I got Peyton a lunchbox tin full of Hello Kitty pez dispensers (various characters). She is really into "Hello Kitty" stuff right now, as some of her high school friends are again. Cute! Hunter wanted a "chocolate rose" for Valentine's Day and that is what I got him, along with a DS game to help him with his chess playing ("Chessmaster"). He got me a white lip-shaped sucker that he bought at school for me and he got his sister a green one (her favorite color). Sweet! However, he bought them earlier this week and had given them to us right away as he didn't want to wait until today. LOL He gets so excited!! Cute!!
