I was not ready for Monday this morning. I woke up late, I didn't make it to the gym, we hit heavy traffic and Starbucks was extremely slow this morning. I'm hoping that the rest of the day goes a lot more quickly because I'd rather just be at home. :)
I have a lot of work to catch up on today as well. I was off Friday because I had 2 wisdom teeth out. Adam had 1 out as well. Most of our weekend was spent loafing around which for some reason just made me more tired! I'm ready for another weekend and Monday isn't even over yet!
Today is the last day of my current class. I've scheduled a much-needed-one-week-break for myself before the next class starts. (In case you're confused - I take one class at a time and each class lasts 5 weeks).
Needless to say I'm very happy to have a week off. We're leaving for California on Thursday and we'll be back next Monday. It's going to be a great little mini-vacation. More on that later.

Here's a summer-themed mosaic for this Monday. It was in the 80s and 90s here all weekend so we were able to get a little taste of summer.
We had a good weekend. I was able to check a lot of things off my to-do list and I'm feeling a little more caught up for the time being.
I'd love to hear how you spent your weekend too!
Happy Monday!
The last time I blogged was a week ago today. You might remember...I had a bad Monday.
Well, last Monday was just a warning for my week ahead. :) I ended up with a horrible sinus headache on Wednesday morning. I tried many OTC pain relievers and nothing even came close to fading the headache. By Friday morning I still had the same headache + it had moved to my ear. I left work early to go to the Dr. to find out I have the dreaded sinus infection. Boo!
I'm feeling only slightly better today. The headache isn't constant, but it's still there. Hopefully tomorrow will be my lucky day and these antibiotics will kick in!
Here's a random mosaic for Monday. Just some good stuff, found on Flickr:
1. Strawberries and Cream, 2. A world of colors beneath your feet, 3. I DONT THINK SO THAT THERE IS A LOVE .. !!, 4. garden full of yumminess:o), 5. that moment, 6. Come on get happy, 7.

Destination: Maldives, 16. Untitled
And before I forget - my Dad has been bugging me to put a picture of his dogs on here:
So there you have it - Jasper and Charlie. He likes these dogs more than his own kids! For the record, Charlie (the Golden) is mine. I wish he lived with me, but seperating these two dogs would surely cause heart failure in both.
Actually, I hate mornings in general. Monday through Friday - mornings are not my friend.
Here's a recap of my Monday morning:
Poor Adam...God bless him, he is patient. We carpool to work together every day. We work a mile away from each other and the gym is in his office building. He did all the driving this morning - because of traffic I wouldn't have made it back and forth without being able to drive in the carpool lane.
It's raining like crazy out there now and not supposed to let up for at least a week. Because of that my mosaic this week is rain-themed.
1. Its raining, 2. Why does it always rain on me??, 3. Its raining again, 4. Singing in the rain, 5. Walking in the rain 1_2499, 6. Rain in Cracow, 7. After the rain I, 8. Still Raining, 9. rain drops, 10. After the Rain, 11. Blessed Rain, 2 of 2, 12. Looking Up After the Rain, 13. Rain #3, 14. Let the rain pour, 15. After the rain...diamonds, 16. rain stroll
That's all for today. I hope your Monday morning has been better than mine!

I'm hoping to get enough time for a couple of blog updates this week. It's been a busy couple of days around here. I have stuff to post about - I just need the time to collect my thoughts and photos and roll them into a blog post.
Here's what I've been up to:
More updates later - happy Monday!
In honor of my brother's flight to Seattle this Friday:
1. LAX Sunset Airplane Landing, 2. aeroplane, 3. airplane graveyard, 1997., 4. Old Airplane, 5. Airplane Finished, 6. Paper Airplane, 7. Aero Lloyd Office Metal Measuring rod with miniature Airplane on runway #1B, 8. Blue with airplanes, 9. Airplane Sunrise Diptych, 10. Flensted Mobiles - Airplane Mobile, 11. Airplane, 12. aviões - airplanes, 13. Sunday Afternoon at the Airplane Park, 14. Airplanes, 15. Airplane, 16. Alex with Airplane
I loved searching Flickr for airplane photos. There were so many cool photos and interesting perspectives. Since we moved out here airplanes have been my favorite thing to photograph. Now I have some new ideas for different shots.
I've been wanting to participate in Mosaic Monday for a while now, but have never gotten around to it. I love trolling the blogs and Flickr on Mondays to see all the mosaics. I find the mosaics so inspiring as art and photography.
So, here's my first Mosaic on Monday. These are all photos from Flickr of my hometown - Lockport, NY. In honor of yesterday's homesickness post.
1. IMG_0172 copy, 2. IMGP4884_chmx_crvd_rdcd, 3. IMGP8010_cxcv _bw_rd, 4. IMGP4073_hdr_cvstly_rm, 5. Lockport, NY- Erie Canal Locks, 6. ......., 7. IMGP3881_hdr_lystdb_rm, 8. IMGP3907_lyrd_crvd_rdcd, 9. 100_4398_reduced
While searching through Flickr for photos to put in the mosaic I came across a lot of great photos of my hometown. Really made me wish I had taken more photos of the area when I lived there. I guess it's one of those things where you take it for granted because it's always there. Honestly, I think differently of that town than when I lived there. There's a lot of history and a lot of great photo ops, but it's easier to see from the outside.
I'm going to make it a point to take more photos of the area when I go home next. We won't be going back until November, but it's on my list. Hopefully my cousin Dan will want to take a half day or day to walk around with me. He's a great photographer and I think it will be fun to do this with someone else. It will also be fun to review the photos and see the different perspectives. Big Dan, what do you think?
