watching Magnum PI on Netflix. I didn't realize I couldn't watch all the Law and Order seasons through streaming so that was a bit of a disappointment:/ Finally moved on to Magnum which was one of my favorite shows when I was younger:) I still have a crush on young Tom Selleck;)
wearing 100% organic coconut oil as a moisturizer. I saw a few different articles about it/references to it and then I read Jess's blog entry about it and decided to give it a try. Amazing! My skin is so soft. I tend to get dry patches on my face after being outside in the sun (even though I wear sunscreen) and after windy days(which is everyday here). I've been using it along with my usual moisturizer.
(slowly) working my way through Project Life. I fell behind. And then sort of caught up but not in any order. I seem to work on it piece by piece for different weeks without any consistency (I'm working on week 18 through week 25). Hope to be caught up (mostly) by the end of next week. I start a new album this week so that the book doesn't get too big and heavy and would like to have the first 6 months done before working on the second album. I'm taking the "unusual time off in the middle of the week" tomorrow to play catch up. Maybe I'll have something to share in the next few days. We don't have fireworks here so it will just be a quiet day at home for us.
accepting a change in vacation plans. I started making plans for our Oregon/Washington trip and then was blindsided by the other people in my household who wanted to" just go to Arizona". Arizona! In late july! It's going to be like 115 there...sigh. And we go every year. Double sigh. I'm at peace with the decision at this point but I was really upset the first few days after the decision was made. I like seeing new places and experiencing new things and I live with two people who DO NOT like change and I fear this means I will not see much of the world. Or even the US. I just need to start taking vacations by myself I guess...
craving cold tropical cocktails. I guess Arizona will be good for something. Like cold cocktails. By the pool. At 10:00 at night when it's still 100 degress out...
failing at posting the "what we're eating" post. Life got in the way. I still cook each week. And 80% of the time I stick to it...LOL.
reading Death Comes to Pemberley. I expected to like it more because Pride and Predjudice is one of my favorite books ever. I've read it at least 20 times. And watched the film (BBC TV version with Colin Firth) at least that many times. I'm having a hard time getting into it though. Not enough Elizabeth and Darcy time together maybe...
freaking out a little lot about the fact that Alex will be 18 in less than 6 months now. She starts her Senior year in a few weeks. How can this be? I get emotional if I think about it too much but it's been on my mind lately. Especially after making a trip to Arcata, Ca to check out Humboldt State University last week. It's one of the schools she's looking into. As is Arizona State University (which we'll take her to check out when we're in Arizona) and Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We''ll be making a trip down there soon to check out that area and school also. I'm encouraging community college in SLO for 2 years and transfer to Cal Poly. That's because it is the closest of all these schools and I like the idea of only being 2 hours from her rather than 8 hours or even a state away...kids grow up SO fast...
