A Week in the Life 2012: Friday

I was so happy that Friday was finally here! Of course, I woke up late and then immediately realized I forgot to make a lunch the night before, so I don't have any pictures from the morning. Getting out the door was so crazy I just forgot to pick up my camera! I do have some pictures from later in the day though :)

1:30pm: Hanging out in my classroom. A few minutes before this, I got an invite to prom in my mailbox, except where it had the cost for teachers, it was crossed out and "chaperone" was written in! I didn't realize I was chaperoning! I guess I need a dress now :)

 3:30pm: Packing up some grading to bring home for the weekend.

5:30pm: Walking home from yoga. The weather was super gray and about to rain...which it totally did later than night!

5:40pm: Still walking home. I just really like my pink cup :)

6:00pm: Got a package from Pick Your Plum. Yay!

8:00pm: We finally ordered mlb.tv, so now we can watch our games. I can even get the Mets home channel, which is awesome, because I love their announcers!

9:00pm: No picture, but we went to bed super early! And then the debacle (ummmm, the Mets gave up 11 runs in the 5th) began. I was glad I wasn't watching when that happened!

Well, AJ and I are off to Macy's! I'll see you all tomorrow :)

A Week in the Life 2012: Thursday

I am so happy that Thursday is over and it is finally Friday! This has been such a long week! Although I am really glad that this was the week we documented for A Week in the Life. This week had just enough every day stuff and just enough random things thrown in (like a doctor appointment and ACT testing) to be a great representation of our life right now!

7:00am: Heading to work, its so nice out today!

7:05pm: My little pink lunch box, all filled up with yummy food and heading to school.

7:30am: My classroom, all cleaned and ready for the kids to come in and take the chairs down :)

7:45am: I made myself a cup of tea, its the first time this week I've made time to make my cup of tea. I think that's contributed to why this week felt so looooong!

7:55am: My schedule. That hour and forty minute break in the middle of the day is really nice!

1:06pm: On my prep period, catching up on some emailing and some grading! (PS. If you can read that conversation with AJ, I did find my USBs, they were in my suitcase!)

3:36pm: Tired after a long day, but happy to be heading home! (Well, home after a quick stop at the bank!)

3:59pm: Actually found a parking spot that didn't require parallel parking close to the bank.

5:00pm: I cleaned my scrapbook table!!! You can see a "before" picture here!

5:30pm: Of course, I cleaned so I could work on my scrapbooks! Its so nice to have a big clean space to work on!

9:09pm: Writing today's blog post.

and listening to AJ practice his big presentation for work tomorrow. The entire plant, a few heads of the company, the mayor, the fire chief and the police chief will be there!

I'm just so happy that when I wake up (or when you read this!) it will be Friday!!! Do you have any awesome weekend plans? All I know for sure is Saturday morning is reserved for more cleaning :) I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a great weekend!

A Week in the Life 2012: Wednesday

I am so so happy that it is weekend eve! This has been quite a crazy (and looooong) week, I am thrilled that it is almost over!

 6:40am: I woke up late so decided to not wash my hair to save myself some time!

6:55am: Obviously that plan didn't work out well!

 7:40am: I remembered to take a picture of my Cheerios before I ate them today!

4:30-5:30pm: Yoga time! I love this bag, the quote is one of my favorites, "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined." Thoreau

6:30pm: We decided to have homemade pizza for dinner! Its been over a week since we'd last have pizza, so I was thrilled!

8ish: Enjoying a glass of wine and anxiously "watching" the Met game online. I so wanted them to win the series against the Marlins, and now that they won tonight, they've won the series! I was so happy!

8:50pm: AJ watching Behind the Music while we wait for shows we enjoy to come on and I blog :)

9:01pm: Writing my blog post for tomorrow (which is today when you read it!)

I'm hoping to do some crafting tomorrow night. I won't be able to go to yoga because I need to run some errands, so I will get home earlier, and hopefully be able to work on some layouts before our shows! Do you have a Thursday routine?

A Week in the Life 2012: Tuesday

Tuesday was a little crazy. My students had to take a standardized exam, and then they had career day, so I didn't do any teaching! I also didn't do any picture taking! I also forgot to print out the Week in the Life daily sheets (again!) but I've been keeping a log on my computer, so I still have everything written down :)

7am: We forgot to close the blinds in the living room last night, but its nice to walk in and see this beautiful view greeting me in the morning!

3:45pm: I was going to take a picture of my Cheerios, but I was so excited to eat them, I didn't take the picture until only the little bit of milk was left!

 4:15pm: Pampering my feet with comfy shoes on my way to the doctor!

 5:00pmL Heading to Target, not my normal Target, but the other one...

 5:45pm: I went to Target for hangers and Gladware. I left with all of this!

7pm: Cooking a frittata for dinner!

9:25pm: Writing my blog post and starving because that frittata was not filling!!

Well, I'm off to go forage in the kitchen for something yummy to eat!

A Week in the Life 2012: Monday

Happy Tuesday!!

This week, I'm going to share my A Week in the Life pictures and stories, then in a few weeks, I'll be sharing my pages!

7am: Leave for work. Then immediately realize that I forgot my breakfast! But I didn't have time to turn around, so I just toughed it out until snack time! I love how driving to work takes me right past the lake, the park and the lake walk with all the pretty trees and grass. It is so nice to see such beautiful scenery in the morning. Although, I am a little jealous of all of the people I see walking and biking along the path! I wish I had time for that in the morning!

School: A white board full of important notes for my physics class, and the projector cart all set up for a video! 70 minute periods means we can really mix it up and do a hands on demo, notes and a video all in one day!

After school: Logging everything I ate today into SlimKicker, a new nutrition facts website (I'll be posting more about this site later in the week, after I've had some more experience using it!) Because I forgot my breakfast shake, my calorie and nutrition counts were really really low today! But I have to say, I am STARVING now!

 3:30pm: Setting up all of my grading so I'm ready to go tomorrow morning!

 5:30pm: Walking home from yoga. I love how pretty this street is!

5:45pm: I got off the elevator two floors early and took the stairs the rest of the way. The best part? No asthma attack! It turns out losing a bit of weight was really what I needed to get the whole asthma thing under control!

7pm: Lemon-garlic chicken and broccoli, that we may have tossed with a bit of grated Parmesan cheese! But for the first time in my life...I actually ate the broccoli! I figure a little cheese is okay if it makes me eat a whole lot of veggies!

8:53pm: Writing a blog post for tomorrow (Ah! Look at that, you can even see where I wrote this sentence!)

Well, that was a pretty typical Monday for me! Did you have a good start to your week? Was it typical, or did something crazy happen?

A Week in the Life 2012

We had such a relaxing weekend - and we got real food back! Yay! Although the chilly/windy weather meant we had to push our engagement photos back to this Sunday, I decided that it just gives me an extra week to lose some weight! Because I'm so short, losing just 2 or 3 pounds is super visible! And now I have something awesome to look forward to this week!

How was your weekend? Did you get to relax and do some crafting, or was your weekend packed with stuff to do?

Today is the start of A Week in the Life with Ali Edwards. I first did this project in 2011, and it is so fun to look back at my pages from that week and see how we spent an average summer week last year. I can't wait to see what has changed this year and what has stayed the same!

If you are interested in joining up, click on the icon below and check out the background of this project on Ali's blog.

Are you going to be doing A Week in the Life this year, or are you do Project Life? If you are, I give you a ton of credit! I can barely keep up with one week, I can't imagine the whole year!

I'll see you all tomorrow, with my pictures and stories from today!
