Finishing up work emails and projects before our vacation tomorrow.Rolling with the lack of routine. And up and down energy. And weird heat + humidity.Going to the beach path on Saturdays for a run while H takes Carter on a walk via longboard, then heading to a new coffee shop called Amelia's.Creating more Project Life spreads - so fun to spend weekend time printing photos & playing with paper.Buying sorely needed gym clothes, running sneakers and hiking boots. Much of the clothing and the running shoes (above) are hot pink. Not my usual color but seems to be the cheaper option most times.Becoming more in-tuned to my over-done strength of being good in a crisis. And saying no.Watching Orange Is The New Black Season 2Reading All The Light We Cannot See (finished), The Giver (for fun) and books about Alaska & the Iditarod.Quitting devaluing my own projects / creativity for things that aren't the work I'm meant to do in this world (that's the goal, anyways - probably will be more of a transition than cold turkey).Learning so much about inspiration & design from the Here & There class at Big Picture Classes.Smelling the surprise of rain in LA this weekend.Celebrating OH MY GOSH OUR ALASKA TRIP STARTS TOMORROW.Loving having H home for summer break with time to talk and be together. And life coaching sessions with Heidi.Working on our money goals with a financial planner. And co-working with Billye.Eating healthier and a little less at times, trying to fuel my body with good things.Drinking less alcohol (win) and enjoying coffee more and more lately. Like, a lot more.Wearing my hair a bit too short. And new clothes / boots (see above).Listening to H play video games, to the drizzle of rain outside, to Carter clickety-clacking around on the vinyl floors (he needs his nails cut).Feeling TOO EXCITED TO SLEEPObsessed with AnnMarie's blog (and baby watch) and Alaska, Alaska, Alaska, Alaska, Alaska, Alaska
