What a Genius!


Ok, so have you ever gone through an entire day that was sincerely productive? Thats the kind of day I had yesterday. I felt good. Almost too good... and sure enough, it was too good. lol.

Last night was good, I got a quiet evening to myself. It was just me, my lovely laundry, and Grey's. I got all of my laundry done! I even made filled peanutbutter sandwhich cookies! It was great.

It wasn't until last night at 12:30 as I was telling my mom "good night" that she asked..."Hey Danielle, were you supposed to babysit this morning?" And after thinking the entire day that it was Wednesday, (I knew it was Thursday though, because my parents had Care Group.) I said "Oh. crap. yes." It's not like it was a job with one or two kids either! It was mt Thursday morning job. The one for the Bible study. The ne with eleven to thirteen kids! And how dumb of me! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT!!!! UGH! Thoughts like "Oh, right, how smart of you!" and "Geez. What an idiot." were swirling around in my head as I tried to sleep. It totally ruined my day. But I'm all better now. lol.

Some days I just need to live less with my head in the clouds. Some days I really need there to be no clouds in the sky, so it makes it easy. I am so overwhelemed!

    ouch... That's a pretty serious blow. I think it was an honest mistake though. You couldn't have been living with your head in the clouds if you had a productive day. You just weren't sure WHICH day it was exactly. :-P

    It happens to all of us.

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

NO. I did not paint my shirt!

Ok, so I bought this shirt at American Eagle this past week, and thought it was cute. It's all white, with an iris on the front of it. I love it. It fits surprisingly well, but the only problem... people keep asking me if I painted the iris myself. My dad asked if I made my shirt. Hannah asked if I drew on it with markers. ITS ARTISTIC! But I didn't do it!!! I didn't draw the Eagle emblem either. Oh my gosh.... I am so annoyed! So the count down to Disney World begins... officially 6 days until we leave! As the trip ooches closer, our excitement becomes more uncontainable. I'm dying to go on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and the Tower of Terror. Because it will be two of the littles' birthdays while we are there, we'll get to go to breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie... i think. We'll also get to see our friends the Krayzels!!! I am so excited about it. It will be great fun The Official Countdown... 6 days

2.0.1.2.

When the ball dropped at midnight this year it was different. 2012. A new year, a fresh start. New Years has always been magical to me for some reason. I guess it's just the thought that maybe this year will be better than the last - it's a time for reflection and assessment. I do it without even realizing it. It's like a much needed restart after getting through the busyness of the holidays; all the visiting, shopping, cooking, preparing. For some it's exciting, for others its a yearly struggle. New Years is like pressing the fast forward button to a new chapter. Life comes to a halt suddenly, we flip the page, and keep moving. It's such a lovely feeling. Everyone talks about resolutions. "In 2012 I will [_____]." Get healthy, go to church, blog every day, write in my journal, read my Bible daily. Fill in the blank with whatever your resolution may be. But after the first two weeks burnout happens and we revert back to how we were at the end...
