09.09.09 -- a day in the life

(I was inspired by some Danielles to create this post. Danielle Calhoun has been making some day in the life posts on her blog lately, which I think is a super idea. And then Danielle Flanders posted the challenge at Label Tulip to take pictures on 09.09.09 and create a layout with them. So the pictures are taken.... Here's my 09.09.09 -- layout to follow.)
