Scrappy...

While I was procrastinating on doing my taxes, I did this:



I think it was time well spent! This was a "scrapjack" of Karla Dudley...love her stuff...lots of clean lines and little bits of stuff...right up my alley!

While in portland for the CKC, amy, stacy and me took tons of fun pictures...cant wait to scrap more!

To my readers...

LOL...i dont think there are any left.

im a horribly neglectful person...I guess its a good thing i dont have kids! ha

so i was supposed to have my wisdom teeth out yesterday...and didnt

i got a ticket for no seatbelt and not having updated tabs on my car...

i need new tires...apparently if you can see the wire stuff showing thru thats bad (whoops...)

two good friends just lost babies...heart breaking stuff...

all my babies are getting so big...another one year birthday party on saturday

tons of scrappy ideas in my head...until i sit down to actually do something

work is hard but good...new shift 545 AM to 445 pm....its not fun to wake up in the dark...at all!

Bad words

I hate when I say something that doesnt come out right and people are hurt! Im a person who doesnt like to make people mad at me and will often keep my feelings to myself or not share my opinions or avoid confrontation JUST so I can keep people liking me! (I know...bad idea...but I cant stop, and besides thats not what this is about).

So I said something casually and without thought that hurt someone that is dear to me. Weeks ago. I found out about it today...by reading about it on MySpace and of course reading all the comments that people made ABOUT ME without any opportunity to explain or defend. Including a comment from ANOTHER friend that I would not have expected that from. Anyways, the fact that it was aired PUBLICLY without coming to me for explanation or even coming to me for an apology is what is currently making me PEEVED! One of my TOP TEN pet peeves...not knowing when someone is mad at you but EVERYONE else does!

Seriously I feel like Im in junior high. It makes me not want to crawl back into my hole and be antisocial (except for some of you...youre my lifelines)

Thats it...thats all i want to say right now...and YES i will continue to stew and dwell...for a little while!

I also HATE when I waste a WHOLE day on the internet...ugh! I mean, I found pretty stuff, but seriously...SEVEN hours!

If you could read...

all the blog posts that happen in my head you would certainly find it more entertaining than the ones that actually make it to publication!

I hesitate to set goals because the setting of goals gives you something to work for but it also gives you something to fail at. Unfortunately I am most likely to fall into the failing category. Somewhat of a self fulfilling prophecy I'm sure! So this year, for the first time in a long time i didnt even attempt the ritual of goal setting. No lists of the things i want to change. No remaking of the same list every year, lose weight, be smart with money, get out of debt, write more, scrap more, take more pictures, clean my house, eat better, learn to crochet, play piano, speak spanish and cook. I have lots of things i want to accomplish but in my self defeating way I can only see myself failing.

The one resolution I kept last year? Read more...52 books in a year! Im pretty proud of that...

Now for something more inspiring...go here...read this... My Friend Mary by Cathy Z
Someday I will write like this about my mom.

(oh crap...is that a goal?)

Carol of the Bells

My christmas started Saturday! A fantastic brunch with my best girlies...beautiful decor, yummy food, a bit of bubbly and laughing till I cried! Cannot even put into words how much that meant to me...I'm verklempt just thinking about it!

On sunday was the choir cantata at church! They nailed it...so so beautiful! The kind of music that makes your heart swell and your eyes leak. Amazing! They sang carol of the bells and i got goosebumps. LOVED it! Sunday night was our sunday school kids program and play! One of my best friends Amy did all the hard work on directing and directing and it turned out FANTASTIC! The kids were so great...they said their lines loud and on time and sang great! So fun! Even the tiny kids belted out their song and rang their bells enthusiastically!

On Tuesday...I got to watch a little 4 year old sugar plum fairy! I cannot describe how amusing that was. Little kids have SUCH big personalities and they are fearless entertainers! So much fun to watch them shout their lines and twirl around the stage! And it was short...bonus!! Props to the teachers cause as Cari commented "its a bit like herding cattle"

Cari thinks I should talk about her on my blog more...we'll see! LOL

So...the countdowns almost done! If you dont buy it today before 3pm and get ONE DAY SHIPPING you arent gettin it for christmas and theres NOTHING i can do no matter what names you call me! Go Santa!!

My obituary...according to the quiz





QuizGalaxy!
'What will your obituary say?' at QuizGalaxy.com


is it a little weird that this came up tonight...just after i was reading about a tribute concert for Princess Diana? hmmm...

My mom was infatuated with her and so some of it rubbed off on me. I remember where i was when she died and the hoopla that surrounded it and how i stayed up all night to watch the funeral. So sad...it seems so long ago...i think its good to remember sometimes...

What I say AFTER you're off the phone...

You know how hard it is to get in the Christmas spirit when your in retail? Yeah...its ten times worse when all you deal with all day is people who are the OPPOSITE of what Christmas is all about!

I had 89 calls today...like four of them made me laugh... Rolling Eyes

Apparently I have ruined christmas for a four year old somewhere in america...

So...

what does one post after a very long absence and many life changes?

Lets vote! (ha, as if anyone is still reading this...)

Should we play catch up on the last 6 months or start in the here and now?

Or i could do the fashionable thing and scrap it all and start over.

Choices...cause I'm oh so good at making them.
