if you're up for a bit of navel gazing and reflection, name three things you've done so far today - they don't have to be monumental or sensational. just three ways you spent your bubbles of time before they disappeared. of course, if you did do something monumental or sensational, by all means please tell...

1. spent the first half of the day in a kvetchy mood and broke through it with (of all things) a nap and game of frisbee.
2. bought an ice cream cake at Dairy Queen.
3. just realized i haven't done much more than that ;)
I don't even think I've done 3 things! Hee, hee...yes, I have:

2. Bought some music on iTunes
3. Journaled.
1. Spent 45 min circling the Ontario airport waiting to pick up the 2nd Trombone player from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

3. Had a fish taco for lunch.
1. Ate lots and lots of cherries.
2. Went to my hair appointment.
3. Relaxed after several weeks of being extremely busy.
Gorgeous picture!
It's Sunday morning here and so far I have:
1. Had a shower while my little one naps, relishing having the bathroom to myself, without a little person crawling around the floor and trying to barge into the shower cubicle with me!
2. Ironed and donned my new black skirt, which I'd like to think is rather flattering.
3. Skimmed the arts, fashion, and food bits of the Sunday papers.
I'm now plotting my next moves, which involve a blog post, a trip to the supermarket, and a call to Roadside Assist to put a new battery in my car. Thankfully tomorrow is a public holiday and I have my husband staying home from work plus my parents' return from a trip overseas to look forward to. Yippee!
1. Made coffee from my coffee press!
2. I blogged a thread sketching tutorial I found and posted pics of my zoo trip.
3. Worked on my business plan for my shop.
1. weeded & mulched & got sunburned (that's a 3fer)
2. ran with friends, then coffee'd with friends. (a 2fer)
3. walked George (a 1fur)
1. cleaned my room like crazy
2. watched the US play england in the world cup
3. made an applesauce spice cake
i suppose i did much more than i thought, now that i look back! and my optimism is returning rapidly as my room sparkles :)
I LOVE the photo of the bubbles.
Today I:
1. bought our daughter a camera for her 30th birthday
2. studied a bead magazine for ideas for a bracelet
3. had a bowl of chocolate mint icecream.
Have a great day.
Bubbles make me happy! I'd like to float around in one while eating ice cream and watching clouds...
So I have..
- been riding waves of contractions that are happening early
-cheered Go USA from my couch then flipped over to Toy Story and laughed with my wee one - I'm never going to be a grownup..yes, I'm a Mom but I only play one in front of my kid and I don't even do that all the time LOL
-ate YUMMY chocolate/vanilla swirl!

Good thing you only asked for three things, 'cause that's about it for me.
these are great! keep 'em coming!
i felt rather pathetic about kicking off the comments with not even three, so i did a few more things to round out the day.
1. walked downtown to pick up painted pottery from last week. it was the girls' first attempt and they did great. and didn't break anything.
2. went with the fam to rudy's for pizza and a beer.
3. weeded 1/3 of the sidewalk (it's brick, and the little slimes like to grow in between them) and called it a day.
1. went to the pup, drank Guinness for breakfast, and watched the World Cup games of the day.
2. Cheered and jeered during said games until my throat went raw.
3. bought ice cream with extra fudge at Dairy Queen (great minds think alike aimee!) to sooth raw throat.
A FABULOUS DAY!
Oh... It's only just gone 6am, Sunday morning, but let's see:
1. lingering in early-morning peace & quiet! Big mugs of coffee, getting side-tracked by no one but myself ;)
2. morning pages - got stuck half-way through...
3. going online for inspiration (is what we'll call it ;)) and composing this-here comment.
Ain't much to show for myself, but it IS only 6am :)
Hi! Slightly drizzly day in Anchorage; here are the highlights:
1. Started my first day sans coffee. Found out that on a scale of 1 to 3, I have about a level 5 allergy to coffee. Going to be a painful week.
2. Visited our local Native Heritage Center. Everyone stood around bored, since it was required for a class we're taking, but secretly I was fascinated for much of the time.
3. Took a last-minute drive into town for the spaghetti feed my cousins' TKD dojang was doing as a fundraiser for their trip for nationals. Love is doing things you don't really want to do for people you'd do anything for.
:)
1. I napped! Whoa!
2. Left bloggy comments.
3. Started a new sketch.
Aimee, I love your nose and everywhere you stick it. :)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Went for lunch with Andy and an old friend who was down for the weekend from Nottingham. We had mexican-lovely but so filling!
Spent two hours in the evening catching up with school work I should have done Friday but was too tired, so now feel very virtuous.
Frisby is always good for dispelling bad moods!
Nothing exciting or creative (;-0)

3 sat in hot hot sun practice judging a 'practice' rookie meet. damn hot. did I mention it was hot? oh wait, you didn't ask what I kvetched about today...
(4, 5, 6, visited favorite blogs :-)
I love this idea... if I ever start to get a "blog following" I may steal this idea.
Love the bubbles pic, by the way.
It's Sunday evening - my three "bubbles"...
1) walked three miles before JPE fixed breakfast (sliced fruit w/yogurt topped w/granola)
2) vacumned, washed & waxed my car (thought of this as part of my workout for the day)
3) flipped the mattress - put on clean bedding (I love crisp sheets)
looking at this list - I sound sooo energetic!
Yesterday I was a SLUG! feeling guilty ~ so I didn't let myself turn on the computer until now!
I liked reading these, little snapshots of days around the world! Today I...
1. Slept in, but still got up before everyone else in the house. Ha!
2. Walked downtown for bagels with friends.
3. Attempted to hang a hammock on the front porch (its far too large, boo)
1. baked a cake ( lemon with apricots )
2. tried to find my son`s passport ( without success)
3. wrote four letters to friends and foes:)))
It is Monday - can I still comment? 1. I made myself three cups of coffee
2. I downloaded the next couple of wodges from the publisher
3. I took a pic of an art journal page that I may post on later today
PS Snous says that the Umberto Eco book (On Beauty) is definitely worth the read, but it is the kind of book you dip into and don't read all in one go. Anairam does not read, she just looks at the pictures ...

2. Sorted laundry!
3. Created guest list for 30th birthday party...wish you lived close by!
