Diary of 5 - Week 18

Thursday May 3, 2012

I am seeing...a newly organized scrap space waiting to be messed up while creating layouts!
I am hearing...Bruce Almighty on the TV downstairs...the part where Evan Baxter is reading the teleprompter and says "I like-a do-a the cha-cha"....makes me giggle EVERY TIME!
I am smelling...Stinky Chicken cooking in the oven. YUM!  
I tasted...Tim Horton's coffee.  Yum.  I made it just before Ben got home from work and I am drinking it now.  Sure, it will keep me up late, but it sure is good!  I figure, why not drink it when Thursday night is TV night for me.
I am feeling...like a trip to Archiver's is in my future (like tomorrow) to use the 47% off coupon I got in my email!


Until Next Time,
SCRAP ON!

Diary of 5 - Week 17

Friday April 27, 2012

I am seeing...a laptop still needing some programs added to it.

I am hearing...a little girl stirring in her bed.

I am smelling...the freshness of the day as it is just beginning.

I tasted...toothpaste and listerine, but I am really looking forward to my coffee this morning.

I am feeling...tired, but happy that it is the weekend. It is National Scrapbooking Weekend and I am really looking forward to celebrating it with close friends scrapping here at the house.  

Apparently, the Diary of 5 blog is gone, but since I started this to help with my journaling and writing, I will continue this little exercise.  I think it will be fabulous when put with my Project Life Album.  

Until Next Time,

SCRAP ON!

Friday April 20, 2012

I am hearing...Sophie in her room playing and Grey's Anatomy playing on the tv from last night.  Love that DVR of ours!

  

I am smelling...fresh coffee and the shampoo I used in the shower this morning.

I tasted...fresh coffee

I am feeling....tired and drained of energy. Slept terribly last night because I was cold.  Our thermostat was set at 71 when I woke up this morning.  Brrr!  
I have a lot to do today but this particular situation takes priority:

YIKES!!!  Gotta run!

Diary of 5 - Week 15

Thursday April 12, 2012

I am seeing...my bag packed for SSNA (a retreat I am heading to tomorrow with my friend Jessica), my scrappy stuff sitting out to be packed and all of my cardstock sitting in a 31 tote. 

I am hearing...Sophie in her room playing...sounds like she is reading a book to herself.  So cute!

  

I am smelling...coffee brewing in the kitchen...YUM!

I tasted...Crest Pro Health toothpaste.   

I am feeling....like I have a lot to do today and no energy to do it.  It is the 12th of the month and I am supposed to be taking photos for 12 of 12.  I am not sure I will be able to get it all done for today and still be able to leave to meet Jess in the morning at 7:15!  One of the pics from 12 of 12 taken earlier today.

Diary of 5 - Week 13

Thursday March 29, 2012

I am seeing...Sophie reading books on the landing, pictures out ready to be laid out on a few scrapbook pages and a list of TO DO items a mile long. a bed that needs to be stripped and washed and carpets that need vacuuming. 

I am hearing...the dogs outside barking to come in, the fan in the bathroom running and the gurgle of the coffee maker making my coffee.

  

I am smelling...nothing but coffee....AAAAHHHHH!!!!! Gotta love Timmy's!

I tasted...Crest Pro Health toothpaste.   

I am feeling....a little discombobulated....a little overwhelmed...definitely, like I have a butt-load to do and no time to do it in.  But I will get over it and get motivated 'cuz that's how I roll!

Diary of 5 - Week 12

Thursday March 22, 2012

I am seeing...the school picture for Nathan on my desk that actually looks decent for once (yay Nathan!!!), the photos that I am laying out for a gift album I am doing and my stuff still not totally unpacked from Skyline lying around my scraploft. 

I am hearing...the hum of the dishwasher, babbling of Sophie as she reads her books to herself (in her own little language) and a little music coming from the iPod player.
  

I am smelling...the vanilla perfume I put on this morning mixed with the shampoo I used in the shower.  Interesting smells when combined!

I tasted...Tim Horton's coffee this morning and I even made Cinnamon rolls!
 

I am feeling....a little worn out.  Skyline was this past weekend and I haven't fully recovered from the sleepless nights at the retreat. 




Tonight will be an early night for me since Ben is still in Michigan on his training course. We FACETIME every night so that Sophie can see her daddy....she misses him so much! He gets home tomorrow.

Diary of 5 - Week 10

Friday March 9, 2012

I am seeing...plans for the Skyline Retreat falling into place, including internet access in the dining hall where we crop!  Woot!  Woot! 

I am hearing...the hum of the printer as all the room assignments are printing for Skyline.
  

I am smelling...the gum I just put in my mouth...love the smell of spearmint.

I tasted...Tim Horton's coffee this morning.  YUM!
 

I am feeling....a little worn out and a little overwhelmed.  Skyline plans are done, but it is the personal scrapbooking stuff I am stressing about.  Tonight will be an early night for me.  I am already exhausted and I just have to wait until the kidlets head to bed so that I can too.....

Diary of 5: Week 9

Friday March 2, 2012

I am seeing...3 of my very good friends, hanging out, talking "girl talk". Decompressing from a long week and enjoying some much-needed girl time. 

I am hearing...giggling and laughter from my friends.
  

I am smelling...wet pavement..you know the smell just as it starts raining.

I tasted...Chick-Fil-A lemonade. VERY sugar-y but oh-so-good!
 

I am feeling....happy to have my hubby home from Michigan.  So are the kidlets... 

Until next time,

Diary of 5 - Week 8

Tuesday February 21, 2012

I am seeing...9 children playing in our backyard while 4 adults sit on the couch inside drinking coffee and catching up.  It is Winter Break here and we needed some "girl time" to catch up after a few of us had "sick kidlets".  

I am hearing...just my friends supporting each other with their words and not dragging each other down.  I love my friends!!!
  

I am smelling...Cinnamon rolls and Tim Horton's coffee.  Yum!

I tasted...Pillsbury cinnamon rolls that we all just ate. Gotta love the sugar rush afterwards.
 

I am feeling....a little apprehensive about next week when Ben flies up to Michigan for training for his job.  Should be interesting to see what Sophie does without her daddy that week.  Can you just picture the reunion though?  How come she doesn't look at me like this???  Sheesh!  When Daddy walks through the door, mama is chop liver!  

It is pretty cute though!!!

Diary of 5 - Week 7

Thursday February 16, 2012

I am seeing...a laptop needing a lot of love and my friend, Dawn linking cartridges to her new Gypsy.

I am hearing...our toddlers playing away in the livingroom downstairs with very few squabbles.  They play so well together for the most part.
  

I am smelling...the Sharpie marker in my hand as I write the label on the Recovery Disk for Dawn's laptop.  You can really get high off those markers!  Sheesh!

I tasted...McDonalds McChicken (early lunch).
 

I am feeling....discouraged.  I helped Nathan with his little project for "Stomp at the Savoy". His second grade class has to do a small presentation about someone from the Harlem Renaissance.  We chose Louis Armstrong because we could find the most information on him on the internet.  Do you know that he didn't even thank me for helping him put together his posterboard?
Here is a pic from his project:

I think that boy of mine needs a "come to Jesus" meeting about appreciation and saying thank you.  Although, I think I had the same talk with him about a week ago.....Sometimes, parenting is a really thankless job!  
My mum would tell me "Paybacks a Bitch, Cyn!".....with a huge smile pastered all over her face!!!

Diary of 5 - Week 6

Tuesday February 7, 2012

I am seeing...two dogs lying on the floor asleep, a little girl standing at the fridge playing with the magnets and my Skyline Retreat plans falling into place before my eyes.  Gosh, I love planning retreats!!!

I am hearing...the DVR'd Bachelor from last night playing on the tv while I work on Skyline Plans.
  

I am smelling...uh-oh....a poopy diaper in my near-future...yuck!

I tasted...green hairy monsters in my mouth this morning when I woke up and immediately brushed my teeth and swished with Listerine!!!
 

I am feeling....pretty excited about the Skyline Retreat next month, but also a little overwhelmed with the seating plan right now, but it is slowly coming together.....

Diary of 5 - January 31, 2012

I am seeing...the plans for Skyline just falling into place. Seating arrangements are almost done, massage schedule is almost complete and final payments are coming in via paypal.  We are FULL!!!   

I am hearing...the clock ticking away behind me on the wall as I type this out and some awesome beats playing from my iPod....Moves Like Jagger by Maroon5, actually.  I LOVE this song!

I am smelling...French Vanilla coffee brewing downstairs in the kitchen.  It was really good yesterday and I have decided that it is going to be my "naptime ritual" when Sophie takes her little nap.  

I tasted...the best cup of coffee this morning and it was the best because I didn't have to make it!  Thanks Ben!

I am feeling...excited about my upcoming scrapbooking retreat up at Camp Skyline with my Scrappy Sisters!!! This will be #9 that I have planned and I love it!  If I could do it as a job full time, I would be the happiest chick on the planet!  Anyway, here is pic taken from the fall retreat:

Some of the best ladies I have ever known come to Skyline and I am PROUD to call each one of them my SCRAPPY SOUL SISTER!!!  What a sisterhood to be a part of!

Diary of 5 - January 24, 2012

I am seeing...windows open to air out the house, dishes needing unloaded from the dishwasher, toys everywhere, a little girl tornado making a mess and laundry needing to be folded and put away.

I am hearing...my television on the music channel while the little one dances along with it.

I am smelling...nothing, absolutely nothing...stuffy nose.

I have tasted...nothing and I wish I could. This flu is kicking my butt.

I am feeling...drained and not really motivated at all!  I have so much to do but no energy to do it with.  This is the time when I wish we had daycare for my princess to go to while I recover and a cleaning lady too.....but alas, it is ME. One and only ME.
