FOR TODAY... may 24, 2010

outside my window... beautiful clear sunny skies.
i am thankful for... all things working out in the end.
i am wearing... my pj's.
noticing that... i accomplished very little last week - lots of things still remain on my to-do list.
i am reading... "the hypnotist" by m. j. rose
on my mind... another doctor's visit.
pondering these words... "Let what you love, be what you do" - Rumi-
around the house... all clean and tidy.
from the kitchen... whole wheat toasts with raspberry jam & a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice!
one of my favorite things... getting perfect seats at the movie theater.
i'm creating... nothing at the moment.
 a few plans for the rest of the week... hematologist appointment, take car to service, file bills, grocery shopping...
from my lens...


yellow orchids

first i want to take a moment to say wow! and thanks to everyone who sent me a happy birthday message via e-mail, facebook, twitter or this blog. as you know i'm not a huge birthday girl, but i was quite overwhelmed by all of the awesome notes from everybody!!!!
 those of you that reached out to me truly made my day - you are all the best!

... and guess what???... i got an ipad for my birthday!!! i'm like a child with a new toy and been playing with it for a few days now. it's basically a giant i-pod touch which i can use as a e-book reader and best of all i can read all the books i already have in my kindle too! 



... on another note... i'm still feeling very sluggish and tired due to the anemia but have tried resting and taking it easy as much as i can. hopefully i'll get the much needed iron iv this week so that i can start feeling like myself again.
saturday was a good day though and took the morning to create some word art and a couple of scrapping pages.
since summer is most definitely around the corner (in this part of the world anyway) and soon we'll start spending more time outdoors, taking lots of pictures and creating our summer layouts, i created some summertime word art to get you started. 





have a wonderful week and enjoy the freebies!

  10. Hey Nini, love the birthday photos & so glad you had a fun day and how cool is it that you got an iPad!!!! Take is easy & if you're feeling tired, then rest, just until you get the anemia under control, ok? Sit out in your garden & enjoy the warm sunshine & soak up the vitamin D (I think!). Thanks for another wonderful batch of WA ... I really must get caught up & get creating with all your goodies ... Ive DL'd most (if not yet all) your freebies, but haven't used half of 'um yet ... for which I apologise! I know, I'll have a "In Celebration of Nini" week and all my LO's will feature your work ... hmmmmmmm, wonder if the other girls would join in ... sounds like a plan, right? Hahahaha ... until next time sweetie.
    Take care,
    Hugs

    Wishing you speedy recovery from your anemia.
