FRIDAY : wake up at 7:30 after a rough nights sleep. too much anticipation for Paul to get home and way too much HTML code in my head, I think. cereal & blueberries for breakfast. get right back to work on the new blog design. more progress! am a fan of how it is starting to come together. and I think I've got a way to tie it into the web redesign too. clean the house like a crazy person – bathrooms and vacuuming too. watch the season premiere of Project Runway. am interested. but not interested enough to keep watching through the judges deliberation. realize I have not watched the actual "you're in and you're out" scene since the show switched from Bravo to Lifetime. go down to the gym and run 2.25 miles. slowly getting back on the running horse. terrified that I have committed to another half. back upstairs for a shower. make lunch : egg scramble & cottage cheese. deal with emails. make dough for cinnamon pull apart bread. go to the post office while dough is rising. come home and work on next step of cinnamon bread and get it in the oven. do some computer work. change the sheets on the bed. pull bread out of the oven. looks amazing. photograph (for 40 loaves project) and try a piece. heaven. back to the computer. go for a long walk around the neighborhood. pick up a hamburger from Burger Lounge on the walk home. (see, it's not all fruit and healthy food around here.) eat dinner and get a text from Paul that he'll more than likely be missing his connecting flight due to the failure that is American Airlines. can't even get upset about this bump in the road which is alarming. am now so accustomed to the endless SNAFUs. watch some tv. dream about new hairstyles. get a call from Paul that he is indeed stuck in Dallas overnight and the best they can do is get him to LAX early tomorrow morning. feel awful for him. make plans to pick him up there. type this post and then will fall into bed exhausted.

and that wraps up my week in the life! I am still planning on putting these photos and words into some sort of album. I have an idea for it, but I'm not sure if it's going to work. I have more thoughts on this project that I'll be sharing eventually, but for now… I just want tonight to be over and to be with Paul. I have a few posts scheduled for next week so check back.

have a great weekend.

    I’ve been in the Air Force for eight and a half years and believe me, getting used to the snafus is the way to go! It is way better than getting upset about the changes because they are inevitable and will happen often-you are on the right track! Have fun this week with Paul!

    i am so sorry that your plans have changed and changed and changed some more. i am freshly home from a journey full of missed flights and delays and missing my husband, so i understand the frustration and disappointment. i hope that your reunion is that much sweeter and happier, and that your weekend will be full of love and laughter and no more snafus!

    I don’t know what is going on, but AA has been canceling/rescheduling a lot of dfw to lax flights lately. Happened to my brother in law, and when they finally opened a new flight all the military personnel got priority, so that’s good news for you! Hope Paul makes it home soon.

    I got curious to what the hair thing was about and checked it out… I agree with Ell! Awesome hairstyle!
    I’m in training for a full marathon and I have the same terrified feeling. I always try to change my negative thoughts to positive ones. Instead of being terrified I try to be thankful for the opportunity to run the race. Not many people make it to that starting line.
    Good luck on your training! I hope to read more about it.

    I still have the new Project Runway on DVR. Since they changed the format to 90 minutes. It’s almost too hard to get through. I’m going to give this season another try. I usually watch it while working at my craft table.
