Day Book 4/24/2011
EASTER!
(Thank you cousin Sarah for the format! You're blog brings me closer to you and your family and at the same time makes me feel centered and peaceful. For this, I have "borrowed" your daybook format, that I may bring some light and joy to others as well!)
Outside my window...Quiet and dark... Everyone must be exhausted from a day full of family and sweets! Today was a beautiful day.
I am thankful...
For family. For being able to be with loved ones on holidays.
I am thinking about...
Easter when I was little... Napa Easter egg hunts, dinners with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Learning all the time...
Yes, I am! I'm not sure how much I learned today, but maybe when I'm less tired I will remember... Tee-hee...
From the kitchen...
Well, from my kitchen today came fruit salad and bagels for breakfast and jello eggs and apple crisp to bring to dad's for Easter dinner... Easter dinner? Dad put on a great spread, ham, pot roast, spinach and broccoli, au gratin potatoes, sourdough bread... Mmmmm.... Oh, and fresh fruit with chocolate fondue, carrot cake and apple crisp! How will I beat that this week? Maybe lasagna?
I am creating...
So many projects! This week it's all about shower gifts! Two bridal showers on Saturday (combined) and a baby shower on Sunday! Almost done with the baby shower stuff, going to spend all week pushing myself with getting the bridal shower gifts done! Will post pictures next week!
I am working on...
Keeping to a schedule and staying on task. Really need to work on walking. You may think "Walking? How hard can that be?" Oh my! Sometimes we really just need to put it on the weekly schedule and GET IT DONE!
I am going...
To Tracy and Sacramento... For the showers... And I'm going to focus on keeping up the momentum of my schedule, the walking and the sewing!
I am hoping...
For a productive week.
I am reading...
Patterns... Did I mention I'm sewing? Tee-hee... Maybe I can focus on reading next week? Mother's Day is coming, maybe Gregg will get me a B&N gift card so I can buy a new book for my NOOK! Hint-hint!!!
I am praying...
For my cousin and his family, for their loss just this weekend. For family friends that are dealing with a sudden, unexpected loss. For my family and friends, that they are safe and prosperous!
I am hearing...
The t.v. Gregg is watching The Apprentice, that show just bugs me. Also the sound of my little, "talking" to her toys and playing with her new "rattle" that her Mongi bought her.
Around the house...
Craziness! We just can't seem to stay ahead of the little! Dishes piling up, toys everywhere! But I have been able to stay on top of the laundry! Sometimes it's just the little things...
One of my favorite things...
My cuddly little... Took her in the pool today, she ran around dad's house, spent ten minutes watching her take her eggs out of her Easter basket and putting them back in. At the end of the night she reaches up for me to hold her and snuggles in. That's the best moment of the day!
A few plans for the rest of the week...
SEWING! Getting my office set up to start bringing Little to work with me. Walking, making time and walking! Remembering to have my Wordless Wednesday post ready!
Random thought...
Hmmm, random thoughts... Who watches reality t.v.? Why? What does it do for you? I know, not very random, but these people are just so whiny and the t.v. is up too loud!
Here are picture thoughts I am sharing with you....

Digging in
So, this is my attempt at keeping in touch.
In a world where we can connect with the other side of the planet as quickly as we can go next door to ask for a cup of sugar (or in my case I am a chronic egg stealer, thank-you Carmen!) I am sad to say that I do not communicate well. Well, in truth, I communicate quite well, I just don't... Hmmm, what word am I looking for? I just don't put myself out there that much. I've always worked customer service, so I'm on the phone all day for work, where I have to be extra nice to people that are not always that nice to me. When I get home, or on the weekends, the last thing I am thinking about is "Let's call every person in my phone book to get updates and give updates." Not to mention the fact that I tend to walk away from conversations feeling like I just talked someones ear off! I don't mean to be self-involved, I just like to talk. My Grandpa Bill used say that I "Come by it honestly."
So! In order to give friends and family a break from my ever-droning voice, I am taking a page from some far-away loved ones and starting a blog to update those of you that want the updates. I'm online quite a bit, so to keep my cyber voice in check, I will only be posting twice a week, with the occasional random thought or rant sprinkled in from time to time. Sunday evenings I will post what my lovely cousin Sarah calls a Daybook. It will give a bit of insight on what the happenings are for that moment in time (where my head is at) and what happened that week. Then I will do a Wordless Wednesday post. So basically, on Wednesdays, just look forward to seeing random pictures of whatever we have been doing. I feel like W.W. will also help me bust out my camera a bit more often than I do. I have really grown bad at taking pictures, and I used to love it! Not to mention the fact that we have a couple decent cameras that, if they were humans, would be fat and lazy from lack of use!
So, that's it, for now. That's me, that's my plan. All you have to do is read along, imagine my (insert adjective here, I would go with annoying or obnoxious, but feel free to play around with) voice and enjoy some day-to-days.
I chose the page name of "Heidi-isms" because that is what someone said once in a reply to an email. They told me they could pretty much hear my voice because of the way I wrote the email. That's pretty much how I roll... This isn't a job interview, it's not a school assignment. What you're going to get here is me, slightly censored, but how I think it, how I would say it out loud, that's how I write it.
Peace out!
