Full Tilt

Well things are back to full tilt with this week Gymnastics, Dancing and and Girl Scouts for Haley. Gesh..not dull is it with all that. But suprisingly this last week was very dull. It started with that Scott and I were dying to sleep in on Saturday. I mean is it too much to ask to sleep past 6am on the weekend? Gesh! But no..due to the holiday that darn garbage man came on Saturday instead of Friday and of all days do you think he picked up late...NO how about early! Like 7am early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost ran outside and yelled at him for that. OMG So..here I get up, use the bathroom and intend to return to bed to go to sleep and no..can't..I'm awake and there's no point in faking it. So we got up and it just made for the whole day to be off. Can't explain it any other way than that. I thought I'd scrapbook as I have lots to play with and some work to do..but it just wasn't there. Sunday did this layout(this is the one Lynne):



It had actually sat on my desk for the whole week because I didn't know what I wanted to do..so silly really. So got that done and again felt the don't feel motivated feeling. I hate that. So I decided to do some organizing since crops are starting back up and want to be able to offer brads and such in a better way if they want to purchase them. So...bought those large floss containers and organized my brads and all my sequins and rhinestones which gave me more room for my chipboard and such. Much better...still not feeling it. I started on a layout last night and think it's going well but can't think of a title for nothing..not that it HAS to have one..but yes..it sort of does. So we'll see where that leads me.

What else...ummm Dancing with the Stars starts tonight..yes! So looking forward to that. Finale of Rockstar SuperNova tomorrow night and then Thursday yes..Survivor..so looks like my rear end will be glued to the TV a bit..not so good!

So that's it..nothing too big here..still pondering a dog...not sure..somedays yes..others no..maybe that means we need to think more.

We'll see...so until next time..

On My Mind

This is what is on my mind today... while I wait for a picture to print...

Baby Suri..can't help it..I am totally interested and you know..I personally think she is a beautiful baby! I loved the pictures and to me they look like a happy family. Who I am to judge!

Lost items...I really want someone to clue me in on why my brain does this. Here's an example..I lose something. Something important..isn't it always. I get upset knowing I hate to lose things. I start backtracking and singing in my head from Blue's Clues..go back go back go back to where you were. And I do..I go through everything. Now..while this whole thing is taking place I am ignoring this voice(whatever you call it) in my head telling me to check wherever. But that wherever is always the strangest place and can't possibly be where it is. So I keep looking and keep thinking about that place. And when I have given up on the item..I take a minute to check that silly stupid place and guess what...every stinkin time it's there! Would someone please explain what is going on!LOL

Jeans..how positively annoying it is to buy jeans for Connor and find that every brand and every style fit him different. No two are the same and it's insane! So I have to go exchange more jeans...can't we have a uniform size?

Sunny Days...love them..need I say more?

Sunny Days that I don't work...even better! LOL

JuJu Bees...my new candy of choice. Why..lots of chewing, tastes great and something about it makes you not need much to get the sweet craving out of you.

Headaches...they stink!

Underwear...why do people namely celebrities not wear them knowing paparazzi are waiting for those moments to catch them. So stupid! And they of all people can afford cool ones!HA

Toby...Rockstar SuperNova..I want him to win and then come visit me!LOL Love Aussie accents..and

speaking of Aussie's..just incredibly sad news about the Crocodile Hunter..Steve Irwin. So sad for his family..just too young. But I know I know..look at what he did right..dangerous job..the odds are..yes..I know..just makes me very sad!

Ki Album..no I didn't win..but yes..I did finally post my losing album..here's a link

last thought.. I love these guys..new Bo Bunny products..




Okay photo is ready..off to scrap one..

Let's Update

Okay time for an update now that it looks like my internet connection is officially fixed for now. Turns out it has to do with my computer's NIC card if anyone is a techie and that it went out and therefore I lost my ethernet connection. Soooo..the cable guy tried to fix it..nope..so for now switched out my modem yet again and changed it to a USB connection until I can take the computer in for a fix. Great..what fun. And it's probably the reason for the past 4 months I've had trouble as the ethernet card must have been dying a slow death.

So...let's chat about things..on top of my mind..I am very sad to say that I did not win one of the 26 finalist positions for the Ki album contest. Hmmm..yesterday when I found this out..I was really really sad. I have dreamed about being on Ki's team since their inception..I know I am the right fit. However..maybe an album isn't the best way for me to show them this? Not sure..but I will post some bits from the album..just not today. I'm moving on...there is much more to life than this right?

Worked my rear off..well I wish it had fallen off...yesterday in the yard. Front and back..and let's just say the yard looks amaaazzing. I can feel it in my legs today but that's all good. And speaking of which..I am 3 pounds down and feeling much better. Need to take off 10 more..that's my goal and I know I can do it..just takes time, lots of walking and watching those snacks.

Well I backed off the puppy kick for now. Got bitten by the bug..the kids want one, I do..Scott doesn't. So we(I) looked at all sorts..they must be small..Cairn Terrier's (think Toto), Boston Terriers, Lhasa's, Pug's, Bichon's all these kind. I think we're leaning now toward a BTerrier. If if if we would get one..really needs to be one that doesn't need grooming..we just don't want to get into that and one that doesn't get that look around their eyes. You know what I mean..Poodles get this and I'm not keen on that look..so we'll see. Maybe in a few weeks..still thinking wondering..I just don't want the kids growing up without a pet, a friend and it's been 3 years since Nina..and I am home..so I think it can work.

Jumped on Lynne's 100 Scrapbook challenge. What is this? A challenge to make 100 items..scrapbook pages, cards, altered items etc etc before buying more supplies. Sounds easy? Not really although all my friends who know me know for me it should be right? It's more about trying to overcome this obsession with always buying all the new stuff and really I can resist I can! I get new stuff for 2 teams and new stuff from ScrapJazz once a month..now granted it's now new stuff I choose..but I am ready to try this and we'll see how far I get before giving in. So as of today..I have made 10 things so 90 more to go before I can buy anything!HA

Okay Blogger is being stupid and not allowing me to upload so here's a link to my gallery at ScrapJazz where you can view all the new stuff..

Well that's it for now..off to work on a layout, go for a walk and sit and read a bit before going to our friends. Hope you have a good Labor Day..we'll talk soon!
