Project Life~A Week In The Life

As I looked through the creative resources for Project Life,
I stumbled across Ali Edwards and her project called A Week in the Life.
I thought it would be fun to look back and see what a week of my life looked
like on the days leading up to and just after my birthday which falls on
Thursday this week.

Since this is my first time, I decided to focus more on the journal with
the sheets I downloaded from Ali's website than pictures for today.
Though I have taken nearly 70 pictures today alone,
I expect I may end up with loads more as I go along.

I'm using my phone and my Canon Power Shot A590IS.
I've also got my daughter in on it so she can help me get
some pictures of 'me' when my focus is else where.

This morning I pulled up the blinds because I was trying to find out which window had slid down during the night. We're experiencing some icy weather today...such a disappointment after such a mild almost nonexistent winter.

Below is a shot of my desktop with today's date, the forecast and my calendar...did you notice I love Maleficent?

I went to make up my bed and found my poochie baby still under the covers. Warming the bed is pretty much her job so I don't mind. She is quite a spoiled rotten old thing though!  I had to snap the picture pretty quickly because she hates getting pictures taken.

Here are some of my favorite bits of what I captured today.

Unloading the dishwasher before breakfast

Daily drive taking my daughter to college

Visiting the Shrine of Goddess Caffeina for a hot chocolate

Singing 'Darth Vader's Theme' from the Star Wars sound track...his current favorite song.

Time to get some writing done while my monkey boy plays at the playground!

I'm sure everyone thinks of their ordinary days as nothing special
and truth be told it's easy to document the special days because
they are special.  But the special days are few and far between. 
What really makes up our lives are those ordinary mundane days.

My intention for doing this project is to shift my perception about
my days as a reminder that hey, these ordinary life days? 
They are just as special and sacred as any of those special days.

The mundane days are truly sacred and worthy of honor.
