So here I am at work...and I totally did not make my bed this morning...I didn't even think about it until just about now. And can I just confess that since I have made my little goal, I have only made my bed once...and it wasn't even in the morning before I left. It was after I got home and maybe an hour before I went to bed...haha. Any suggestions on how to jump start my brain into at least remembering what I am supposed to be working on?
I did go to the cannery last night, I got 5 boxes full of canned goods. Sweet. I also have been taking more pictures like I wanted, I am just struggling with the whole making my bed thing.
Help!

A Little Disney for All
Here is a page I just did with me at Disneyland. Pretty cute huh? Eeyore was so soft and while I had taken a lot of photos with different characters all around the park, I think Eeyore was my favorite because he was so sweet and soft. In the top right picture I'm with Kiera Spear, man I remember when I was changing her diapers and now she and I are going down Splash Mountain 4 times in a row! I am laying on Pluto's bed in Mickey Mouse's house in the bottom right picture. Disneyland was so much fun and I love how easy it is to make scrapbooks!Until next time,

My Dog
D.O.G. is special to say the least. This afternoon while I was letting him out to go pee at James' house he did the funniest thing. D.O.G. has a 2 step system when he pees:
1. location, location, location - he has determined he pees best in the front yard. He can really get focused - plus he gets to check and send his little emails to all his other dog pals around the neighborhood.
2. When he finally finds a pole, tree or rock...he paces back and forth until he finds the perfect spot. The pacing usually results in some rubbing up against his spot and then he lifts his little leg and goes.
Any way, this morning he decides to pee on a cactus - this causes a few difficulties as he tries to pace back and forth since the spikes are preventing him from his traditional rub. But my pup is determined and tries to investigate this cactus and just as quickly decides that was a bad idea. He stares at the spikes that just poked him and cocks his head to the left, starts to pace again, lifts his leg and still waters that poor cactus.
He is just so pleased with himself. He does a little shake and then bolts around, bobbing his head has he scoots around. He is funny.

Simple Moments
It's a new year and I've been thinking that life is lived in a glorified fish tank. Every year is like we have completed just another lap in the round tank of life and as of January 1, 2009 the world is taking another go at it. One day God is going to trip and drop the fish bowl in his hands and that will be that...but that's just the cynic in me.
What is with new years resolutions? Do we, as a society, have such a hard time writing our goals down that we have to make them all on the first of the year? Is it so we can have an easy reference point? I am standing up against new years resolutions in that, I will make goals as I see fit and I will write them down and pin them on my wall so I know when I made the goal. I will use my own time lines and I will keep track of my successes and failures. I will not set life goals on a whim just to meet the deadline of a calendar year. How's that for a 'non-new years resolution', resolution? :)
Because of my disgust with all the New Years Resolution drama, I was thinking about the space of time. The space of a year really isn't that long, but it's interesting to me that within that year, I may have simple moment which seem to last a life time. I was wondering why that was and I think it's because most of my more simple moments are remembered for a life time - my life time. I was thinking of forces in my life...you know...gravity...velocity...and then force of time came to me. Time is a powerful thing! Sure, I mean gravity or velocity are very powerful forces and they can do a lot of damage...but I think time can cause more damage than any object broke by gravity or velocity - in fact time can erode objects damaged by gravity or velocity to a state of elimination. But time also has the ability to heal and allow things to grow. Time is a unstoppable, renewable force moving at a slow and constant pace. And you know what? Time is big. Really big. The more I think about time, the more appreciative I am of my simple moments in life. My simple moments in life that really bring the larger space of time in my life together.
If I could pick a favorite sector of this all encompassing force...I would say moments in time would be my favorite.
I'm gonna try to capture more moments and scrap book them so I can share them and remember them more (this is another non-new years resolution!).
I do all my scrap booking on my computer - it's awesome! I get all my stuff from Erin Crockett who is sells Creative Memories scrap book stuff. If any one would like to look at or order digital scrap book software go to: http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/erincrockett
I will try to publish some of my digital scrap books on my blog! That would be fun!
Until next time!
Hugs and Kisses,
Ashley
