What's in my toolbox?


Open the lid to find:
numerous gel pens
my only roll of washi tape
multipurpose tool from Creative Memories (handy item when gluing small things).  
pencil sharpener
post it note tabs (used for indicating where collections are throughout my journal 
a green highlighter
a yellow highlighter with post it tabs
my worm book mark
a mechanical pencil
Take out the tray and we encounter the rest of the markers and post it notes in my collection:
50 Artist Loft markers
Creative Memories fine and round tip primary color markers
Creative Memories jewel tone markers with round tip
Crayola glitter markers
Micron black markers in various sizes
calligraphy marker in black with 2 tips
scissors
protractor
the other thing that makes circles...name escapes me at this moment
post it notes in various sizes, ruled and unruled in a good combination of colors
glue dots
cricut cutouts I use as stencils

I also have a pencil case that I take on the road with me.  Some of the items mentioned here are not found here because they are in this case. 

The part I find amazing is that I had most of these items already they just weren't organized or together.  I did get more post it notes and some markers since I started my journalling journey.  Luckily for me finding journal supplies in Nicaragua is not nearly as easy as it is in the first world.

I can say this is enough for me.....I have what I need.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

So This is Christmas

So this is Christmas And what have you done? Another year over And a new one just begun And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun The near and the dear one The old and the young A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year Let's hope it's a good one Without any fear And so this is Christmas For weak and for strong For rich and the poor ones The world is so wrong And so happy Christmas For black and for white For yellow and red ones Let's stop all the fight I was reminded of this song at a dinner theatre I went to on Monday so I looked it up and here it is.  It is amazing that a song written so many years ago is still so relevant today.  You would think with evolution and technology and all the advances of today's world there would be no validity in songs like this.  Wrong! I only hope that we as citizens of the world can join forces as one in time to save ourselves.

I am cooking from the ingredients I have!

I found a website that allows you to put in the ingredients you have in your kitchen and then gives you recipes to use them.  I have added the gadget to my blog if you want to check out how it works.  I am going to try it because I am always trying to find new ways to prepare all the things I like to eat in my kitchen.  It takes recipes from a multitude of good cooking sites such as Martha Stewart, Epicurious, All recipes and more. this week I will try the puffed pancake with strawberries and I don't have to check because Supercook already figured that out for me......
