Monday Randomness

So to start out the morning, I had a cup of coffee. Because if usually if I don’t have coffee, I don’t have a very good day. It just doesn’t work very well in my favor.
Interestingly enough, if you know that we’re Disney fans in this house, you’ll know why I used this particular mug. But as I was drinking out of it, I realized just how weird it would probably look to a random person just walking by or who just happened to see me drinking out of it.

So then we did school, of course. I had a couple of things I needed to get caught up on and I did just that.

When Mom came home from the post office, she brought home this:
This book hasn’t even come out yet, but Mom asked for a review copy of it, so we got it early. I can’t wait to read this and see what happens! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jenny B. Jones. I can only HOPE to be anything like her as an author someday!

Then later, Mom and I dropped Gracie off at her orchestra practice and did a little bit of shopping. Because shopping is just a lot, lot, lot of fun! I got a pair of jeans. I think that’s it.

Then I came home and decided that before we ate supper, I was going to play my guitar. I haven’t been playing it much but the last two days I’ve played it. My fingers hurt because I haven’t played enough but it’s nice to get back into the swing of things.

That’s my Monday.
And the rest of the week is going to be JUST as busy.

I am entering a photo contest, because, well, I like to take pictures and I took some cool ones today whilst outdoors with my sister.

Upcoming CSN Stores Review

Spring is going to be coming into the air and my siblings and I are getting antsy to head outside. My siblings enjoy playing on our swing set, although, it is slowly deteriorating and breaking down. It was minefrom many years ago, and from much play-time from me and the two neighbor boys, it's definitely gotten worn down.

We've been thinking about getting a new outdoor playset for the last couple of years, ever since my little brother was born. The CSN stores have many choices for outdoor playsets and would be a great place to start looking for one.

After looking through the above website, it appears that they have a great selection of playsets, and that, with the right amount of money, my family could easily find one (or twenty), that we would thoroughly enjoy having in our backyard!
