Sentence a Day in August

Hey friends,

Linking-up with some of the other Blended Blog gals to share our “Sentence a Day” summaries for the month of August.  I just cannot believe August has come and gone.  But then again, it seems like so much time has passed since I wrote these first sentences.  Let’s see how I spent my month.

• School starts two weeks from today; will I be working? 8/1
• Enjoyed a glorious, “fresh” (as they say for ‘cool’ in El Paso) morning on my patio with my kitties and God’s beautiful world. 8/2

• Back to summer cleaning, in the kitchen this time. 8/3  (Remember that some of the gals on The Blended Blog shared what’s in their junk drawer?  Well, I was shamed into cleaning mine!)

• Yay for our beautiful triple-A ball park, the Chihuahuas baseball team and dog ears on headbands for Chico fans. 8/4

• Fabulous Friday with my Prince at the range, the gym, exploring downtown and dinner out. 8/5

• Uplifting message at church tonight:  find your purpose in life, be humble and be a prayer warrior who leads others to prayer. 8/6
• Felt quite accomplished after walking up McKelligon Canyon for the first time in months. 8/7
• Started my 5K run training up again today after a number of months away from running…let’s do this!  8/8
• Accomplished bits and pieces of a lot of little things,  TPT store, cleaning kitchen cabinets, washing curtains and baseboards, finishing the day with card making class and Olympic gold in swimming and gymnastics. 8/9

• Looking forward to seeing my babies this weekend.  8/10
• Have been too busy living life to write about it.  8/11

• We always have so much we want to do and so little time to do it.  8/13
• Drove up to Albuquerque to see Lauren, Lucia and Francisco and car acted crazy; enjoyed pool time, dinner on the Sandia Mountains and lots of laughs, Cady was an angel. 8/14
