Project Life, Weeks 8 and 9
21 Sep 2012
I am still playing a bit of catch-up on this project, but now that the office is organized, it is going so much more smoothly. I had a lot of fun with these pages, and I feel like I crammed in a few more stories from our everyday life, which has been one of my goals.
Week 8 features the map from our visit to LACMA–I love putting maps in wherever I can!
I am really happy we have this picture of the two of us, and of some of our summer grilling.
For Week 9 I went with polka dots and a little border.
As much as I hated getting a cavity filled, I am glad I recorded the ignominy of it. That little stamp is from Palomar, and I love it.
I hope someday we’ll laugh about the death and miraculous resurrection of our A/C on the way to Palomar, and it’s in that hope that I wrote it down here!
This picture is particularly special to me, since, as I am typing this, Eric is at Palomar, observing in that dome. I am so glad I got to see it with him. I have been reflecting on the summer as a whole this week, and I think I will put some journaling about it in one of my next pages, but this project has really heartened me: we have done and seen so much this summer. It’s also been the most crazy busy summer we’ve ever had, and, while I am sure I will always remember that, I might not have remembered all these weekend treks and dinners and exploratory missions and the funny things Eric has said to me (Example: Me: Thanks for loading the dishwasher, babe. Eric: It is a service I provide.) I am so happy that I have all of this in writing and in pictures. For, as one of my favorite bloggers says, it was life, and we lived it.

This is really sweet and looks like a great way to record memories and special moments (love the line about the dishwasher). I’m getting a cavity filled next week (in addition to being fitted for my special no-grinding mouth mold), and I’m already envisioning all the soft foods I’ll have to eat for the remainder of the week (I hope I have something as good as that black bean soup).
x Enjoy tonight at Vroman’s!

Oh, thank you! I’m sorry about your cavity–no fun! I have more fillings next week, so I think I will breaking out my blender too. Eric brought me some pumpkins back from palomar (squee!), so maybe it’s time for some early fall pumpkin soup 🙂
