Whew. It was a three cup day.

January 30, 2011

Today marks the end of one busy week and the beginning of another. Just glad I have a nice warm bed to crawl into tonight, thanks to my wonderful hubby. He got me a heated mattress pad, and "PH" stands for preheat. Goodnight, all!

On the way home from my parents' house this afternoon, we found what we have affectionately dubbed "Beaver City." I tramped through a muddy field, but still couldn't get close enough to get a cool shot. And we couldn't get far enough away to get a good wide shot, either. But it was a really amazing find--at least one dam, at least one lodge, beaver footprints in the snow, and several freshly felled trees (including the one in this photo).

Celebrating my Dad's birthday today. (It's a snow thrower from the whole fam, btw.) Happy birthday, Dad!

January 27, 2011

Just got back from "Burn the Floor." Hot. That is all.

January 26, 2011

Busy day, finished with worship team practice at church.

January 25, 2011

My new hair. Thanks to Caitie.

January 24, 2011

Volunteered my time today. Almost eight hours of data entry. Symbolized by jewelry and ibuprofen. I brought it today. It got brought.

January 23, 2011

Finally ventured back outside today. Good to see the sun.

January 22, 2011

Super cold weather today. Called for popcorn and movies, staying warm under the blankets.

January 21, 2011

His name is Sheldon. I like how he watches over me through the kitchen window.

January 20, 2011

New door installed! With super cool mail slot. Stoked.

January 19, 2011

I had a first meeting with a potential mentee today. And this was her first cup of coffee at one of my favorite places. Hoping it won't be the last, coffee or meeting.

January 18, 2011

Today I volunteered for the first time at Welcome House in Covington. This is an awesome window near the desk where I put in my time at the computer. I really do love data entry!

January 17, 2011

Mexican food with Robbie. The anniversary week has been stretched out...

January 16, 2011

Started my first writing group tonight. This was a "healing writing" group, I think it's going to be good.

January 15, 2011

It was a fuzzy warm sock kind of a day. Meaning I didn't have to put on shoes. Ahhh.

January 14, 2011

Comfort food. Robbie fixed macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. It was a nice warm dinner after a long cold day.

January 13, 2011

New obsession? Collecting Paul Coelho books for my library. I found these for half price.

January 12, 2011 - 20 Years

Robbie and I celebrating our 20th anniversary at Mitchell's Fish Market. Still so happy together, and still crazy after all these years. (That's the Cincinnati skyline behind us.)

January 11, 2011

Posting early because I don't think anything can top this today: birth text announcement for Grace Trinity Rachael Hollums. Long road for my friends to be parents, but baby girl is here and all are well--birth mother and adoptive parents. Grace is a good name all the way around.

January 10, 2011

Dates to commemorate the date: Today is the anniversary of our first date. Definitely a date to remember.

January 9, 2011

Glass half full or half empty? I am trying to choose a half full kind of day.

January 8, 2011

One of my favorite stained glass windows at the Transgfiguration Spirituality Center. Robbie and I had our Contemplation class there today.

January 7, 2011

This is one of the loaves of bread I baked for book club tonight. That was cancelled because of snow. Break out the butter! The first neighbor I see drive in is getting the other loaf.

January 6, 2011

My Thursday study group. I like the hand of my friend in the upper left corner, animated as she tells a story.

January 5, 2011

On the way back from trip to Louisville to see my mentor, Linda. I didn't realize until I was reviewing my pics that I had captured this exit ramp.

This reminds me of choices, of the different paths I'm considering.

January 4, 2011

The view from my desk. Spent the morning reading and planning. And drinking coffee.

January 3, 2011

Robbie's slippers and his hoodie are as sad as I am that he had to go back to work today. It's been nice to be home together during the holidays.

January 2, 2011

Robbie & I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader this afternoon. Good flick. Whatever happened to movie stubs? Included a pic of the ticket receipt instead.

January 1, 2011

New year, new calendar. And a new little space for organization, including an old basket I have re-purposed for the occasion.
