Daily Diary – January 1 2011

1.1.11 – here it is. The new year. All this leading up to it and here it is. Just like any other day.

Well I did pretty good on most of my projects today. I made an art journal page, a portrait, exercised, did my pushups, and read with david (and by myself.) but I didn’t do so great on the photos. I took one shot of David playing Wii but it was so so and it’s been so dark here that the ones I took of Nathaniel are very noisy.

He’s watching David play.

He didn’t get to watch much TV today cause it was David’s wii day. So he kept walking around and saying “choo choo.”

Then he found a Thomas book and turned every page and pointed at every single train saying “choo choo” every time. It was so so so very cute. I love him so.

And here we are. The first day is almost over and I still have several things I’d like to get done. But I must admit that all the exercise is definitely getting me tired. Let’s see if I can motivate myself to scrap. I hope your first day of the year was great!!

By the way, if you got my newsletter and have feedback please do send it to me. I’m sort of figuring it all out as I go along so I’d be delighted to get some feedback.

Oh, and, if there are digital downloads you’d like to see in 2011 let me know. I’ll be making one set for each newsletter, and one other one each month here on the blog.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I made an art journal page today. It even almost turned out the way I visualized it in my mind. that’s rare for me.
2. I am grateful that I was able to up my daily exercise to 2.6 miles. My plan is to up by .1 mile a month so that by June I am walking 2 miles and running 1.1 miles which adds up to 5K daily. Let’s see if I can make it work.
3. I am grateful that I have fun, exciting books to read. I’ve noticed that having a page turner really really helps the exercise process.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that Daddy and I watched a lego movie {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I played wii
3. I am grateful that mommy and I read the Wizard of Oz

hello 2011!
