For today:

Outside My Window... it is dark.  There is a full moon - or almost full at least.  It is just outside the window to my right beside my chair.


I am thinking...about the thrift store and all the bargains I have got from there over the last year and how much money I've saved furnishing this place....and kitting out the classroom...and other things - and yet this place is beautiful :)  I love it :)  I can't believe I have managed to kit out an entire classroom for so little :)   Today we ran into Tina there and it was lovely to see her again - hadn't seen her for sooooo long and then we saw her at the Christmas brunch in december and today :)  Hope to see her again very soon :)

I am thankful for...my life....the fun of it...the luck of it...the adventure of it.  the way I live it.  Wouldn't swap it for anyone elses.  I have so much fun :)  My life may well be a bit of a rollercoaster and an adventure at times, but it's one hell of a ride and I love it :)  I don't think I have one day go by where I don't laugh out loud several times :)  I am blessed with amazing children, incredible friends....many who are totally insane which suits me perfectly - I am so grateful for their cracks ;)

From the kitchen...daily smoothies, yummy dinners, finishing off the Christmas goodies we still have...lot's of fruit...


I am wearing...old jeans...tshirt inside-out....old sweater - we've been painting :)

I am creating... lots :)

I am going...to bed early tonight because it's been a long busy day but I feel soooo good about how much we accomplished today :)  Woot!!!  :)  
I am reading...through a pile of magazines that Sharon gave me at Christmas :)  Thank you Sharon - I LOVE the magazines you always give me xxx

I am hoping...that I've signed up two new students to my class at short notice :)  woot :)  I also have another teacher signed up to teach fine arts - starting with oil painting!!  AND I have a some one-off classes planned throughout February - including a session on Vision boards to help you keep going on those New Year Goals you made for 2012!!!  :)  Also come on over and make a Junque Journal....

I am hearing...  Hedley....listening to their new album which I got for Christmas :)  It is fabulous!  I love love LOVE Hedley  :)  So hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild wild ride....

Around the house...I am slowly putting away all the Christmas things...it's such a chore and it's hard to do also because I am always sad to do it - AND because I don't WANT to pack them away!!  BUT...I get to decorate again in a few weeks - for my PARRRRTAAYYYYYY!!!  :)  WOOOHOOOOO  :)

One of my favorite things...Instagram - and the fact that Instagram now uploads pictures automatically into a folder on facebook.  Yup - little things please little minds :)

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...Ummmm....cleaning, sorting, organizing, swimming, walking Rosie, heading to the Winter Festival, celebrating Sams birthday and planning his party, working, teaching, planning, Science Centre, Lego class, library, pub quiz, Ice on Whyte, work/ Exhibitors conference.
