12 on the 12th--August Edition

Michelle took pity on my once more and made my grid. We don't have Photoshop on our new computer, so I'm going to need to come up with some other way to make these grids or find a form of payment for Michelle.

  1. I looked out the kitchen window first thing that morning and saw Landon outside getting his weeding done before any of us were even awake.
  2. My "cool down" time that I take each morning after blowing dry my hair and putting my velcro rollers in. I'm always overheated at that point and take 15 minutes to read on my bed with the fan blowing on me (and heel cream on my feet). It's a nice little break in my morning routine.
  3. Family scripture reading.
  4. My new headset at work, it makes it so much easier to get things done while answering the phone.
  5. After work I went to Costco to buy groceries for Landon's birthday parties.
  6. Of course I needed to vacuum. It's hard for me to be gone at work while the kids are home during the day, and the house always feels messy when I get home.
  7. Robyn took the kids to Yogurt Bliss to thank them for babysitting their hamster while they were on vacation the previous week, the kids gathered on the front lawn and in the tree upon returning.
  8. I texted Randy to see if he'd pick up a bag of ice and 10 bottles of Gatorade for Landon's friend party. Texting on my iPhone is sooooo luxurious compared to the primitive way I had to do it before.
  9. I got to see Michelle for a little bit when she dropped off Lucas at the party.
  10. One of the arms on our Adirondack Chairs broke off, these chairs are about to be kindling.
  11. All the fellas at Landon's birthday party.
  12. Amie came over to visit for an hour during the tail end of Landon's party while she waited to take James home.
**Did you document your 12th?
Do you ever use a headset?
Do you have to cool down before applying make-up?**

Comment Window Tidbit: I was so busy at work today that I ended up staying 45 minutes late just to finish up listening to phone messages! It was a good kind of busy!

    I'm so glad your new job fits perfectly.

    I also enjoy seeing your 12 on 12's. It's like looking through a window as you drive by.

    I think 12 on the 12th is a great idea!

    P.S. You can make the grids on Picasa which you can download for free.

    Landon is a wonder.
    A wonder.
    I love your cool down time. I have a similar routine when I dry my hair.

    No payment necessary.

    Landon is indeed a wonder. I wish we could clone him!

    I have never ever used a headset.

    I always WANT to cool down before applying make-up, but I don't usually allow time for that. You are smart to do so.

    i used to wear a headset at a previous job and i LOVED it. i came to hate answering the phone at home and wished i could wear the headset around the house while doing the dishes to avoid the dreaded crick in the neck that comes with a long conversation!

    i have to blow dry my hair with minimal clothing because good grief! it's enough to make an already warm girl faint. for real. maybe i need to try your routine instead. especially the foot cream.

    I'm liking that cool-down routine. I often feel like I an AC unit blowing on my while I dry my hair!

    And that's nice you got some extra time in at work!

    Love your pics for the 12th. I was going to mention Picasa to you, but I see someone else already did.

    By the way, I'd love to play Words with Friends...every time I try to get a game going with someone, they never play. Let's do it!
