Blog update

After 3 years of paying for a typepad blog account I am now going to move exclusively to this blog. I love the ease and convenience of blog-spot and it's free!! Over the next few days I may add some of my previous post from the typepad account but I'll be sure to mark them as such.

See ya,
Marcie

FOR TODAY
January 11, 2010

Outside my window... I see dead brown grass and plants due to freezing temperatures for the past week.
I am thinking... of all the things I need to do before I leave for my cruise to the Bahama's in 2 weeks.
I am thankful for... warm socks and hot coffee.
From the kitchen... I'm loving a bowl full of fresh tangerines from my mom's tangerine tree. 
I am wearing... black pants and a red shirt. 
I am creating... the first of 52 weekly layouts for my year long photography project.
I am going... to 1) work on laundry, 2) organize my digi supplies in ACDSee, 3) spend 15 minutes decluttering.
I am reading...   just started Same Different As Me. 
I am hearing... Zach and Josh talking and watching TV in the family room.
Around the house... I have all the ornaments off the tree and I need the guys to pack it away.
One of my favorite things... this coffee recipe I found on Pioneer Woman's website. She calls it "Dulce de Leche Coffee" but I call it "Heaven in a Cup". LOL
A few plans for the rest of the week: Continue to get caught up around the house since the boys will be back in school, work on Wednesday, and a TB Lightning Hockey game on Thursday night.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing... we are on our ninth consecutive day of temperatures below 60 degrees. The next similar cold spell was seven days in 1956! This picture is my mom's tangerine tree. The trees are misted when the temperatures fall below freezing to keep them from falling below 32 degrees. It was 1 pm when I took the picture and there was still ice in the tree - absolutely amazing for Florida!

FOR TODAY 1.23.10
Outside my window... I see lots of dead brown plants from the freeze earlier this month.


I am thinking... about all the things I need to do before I leave for my cruise on Monday.


I am thankful for... my eyesight. Even though I need glasses to read my eyes are healthy.


From the kitchen... I smell the brownies I baked for the boys. Gotta leave them something to eat while I'm gone. LOL


I am wearing... brown linen pants with a blue t-shirt and my new Merrel sandals.


I am creating... a layout of my Facebook wall with all my birthday greetings.


I am going... nowhere and I love it. :-)


I am reading... the first 2 lessons from Katrina Kennedy's Captured Through the Lens class.


I am hoping... for a fun vacation with my friends next week.


I am hearing... the music from Gabe's room.


On my mind... I'm thinking about all the pictures I want to take on my trip.


Pondering these words... He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it.


Around the house... YIKES!! The Christmas tree is still up!! I've taken the decorations off but the guys have not put the tree away yet. Tomorrow is the day!


One of my favorite things... coffee, always coffee.


A few plans for the rest of the week: get packed and then have fun!


Here is picture for thought I am sharing... I'm going to miss this little guy next week.
