A Week in the LIfe of Shelly, Day 1

I've accepted a challenge from www.aliedwards.com to chronicle a week of my life in film and journaling... the blog will be my starting point... I'm thinking it will all end up in a scrapbook though. So, here's today, Sunday, April 18, 2010.

This is us, leaving around 9 to go get some breakfast at McDonald's...

We decided to drive around a little bit, so we listened to Matt Chandler from www.thevillagechurch.net. The message was on repentance and based out of Exodus 20. I liked it a great deal. You can download it too. I believe it led me to a crazy ACT on FB today. So, I'm pretty sure God himself inspired it all. I'm sure that people are mad at me for what I might have said, but sometimes, I just have to say what I'm thinking.

(Side note: I strongly believe facebook is a SOCIAL networking site, not a place for ignorant people to post their opinions about politics, right winged hair brained cultish ideas, or religion. It's a place to be friends, not to preach... )

Anyway, enough about all that!

Then we went here... because that's what we do all the time. This trip was for allergy eye drops, and laundry detergent for Brady's science fair project.

Wesley decided to dump an entire sippy cup of Gatoraide on his shorts, so we had to let them dry while he and I hung out in the car and listened to tunes.

When we got home, and Wes was taking a nap, we did this.

This was my view.

And sometimes this...

If I'm going to lay in the front yard, it's going to be with this person.

He's my soulmate and I love him to death!

B took this picture of me in the reflection of his laptop... it's pretty neat!

While hanging out in the yard, I noticed our rug drying and decided to give it a good scrub... it's really really CLEAN now! I can't wait to bring it back inside.

Then, TV stopped by to drop off my crock pot and cooler from Angie's surprise 30th BD bash yesterday... that was nice! I think TV is one of the best people on earth.

I got these new flip flops next... a quick stop to Sportsmart.

Then we went to my favorite So. Mpls. antique store b/c they were having a sale this weekend. It's called Hunt and Gather. You must go there. I really liked these wooden block letters.

I really like this, too...

If they had a registry at Hunt and Gather, I would put this on my wish list.

Then we went here for dinner... amazing food, great atmosphere, neat decore... loved it!

I usually don't look like this, like I've been crying for days... the allergy season is in full force here, so I'm all red-eyed and sneezy.

Here's my "S" collection... growing each time I go to an antique store. Today I added the little orange "S" and the wooden campsite "s"... they all have special names.

And the end of the day, good night boys! Apparently we need to clean your room tomorrow night! SHEESH, look at all that stuff!

And that, friends, is the end of day one... a day in the week of my life. Stay tuned for more random things tomorrow!
