Here we are... its time for me to go back to work

I hate returning to work after vacation. I love vacation, but returning to work is always very sad. After this year I guess I should just be greatful I have a job to return to. Anyway. Does anyone know the details for the 10th for card club. Start and finish times. I need to turn my work schedule in. Thanks.

Sales

THe mall was a mad house yesterday everyone buying up all the leftovers!! I went to Werner Lowe this morning and got a tote, a purse, and a wallet. And it was only $77. They had alot of vera left if you have any interest in buying some. A whole table 50% off.

Its Christmas Eve

Well its the most wonderful time of the year. I can't believe that Christmas Eve is already upon us. When I was a child this day was the best. I went to my dad's 2 family Christmas's this day and then my mom's mom had it that night and it was the best.

Now as an adult we spend the afternoon/evening with Jason's family. And then try to stop by one set of friends and spend a few minutes.

Today I'll be cooking to get ready for tomorrow.

see ya soon.

So in a week ...

Christmas will be over for another year. The next week will be alot of fun for most of us, time with family and friends and food, and maybe some great presents!! This will be the first Christmas since my divorce many years ago that I will have both kids on Christmas morning and no need to return them to MS. I have had them on Christmas morning but I have always had to rush them home the next day. I'm extra thankful for that this year. Of course the presents aren't what they use to be, like new toys and all that but they got the stuff on their list so they should be excited just nothing to "play" with. Neither of the kids our very big gammers so not even new xbox games.

I wrote out our menu for Christmas day yesterday, its huge. We stay home Christmas day sometimes people drop by. But mostly we are just at home. I'm going to post the menu not because I think anyone cares what I eat on Christmas day but I want to have it on the blog so I can look back on it next year.

• Cinnamon rolls early while we open gifts
• (breakfast) omelets with lots of veggies, bacon, sausage links, french toast, syrup, fresh orange juice
• (lunch) summer sausage, cheese, cheesball, crackers, brownies and cookies
• (supper) ham, hamburgers(nick request), corn casserole, sweet pot casserole, green beans,macaroni and cheese, potato salad,(em requested) rolls, cappuccino pie

That is my menu for Christmas day. Try to post again a couple of times before the holiday.

Christmas times a comin'

I love Christmas, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I do have several projects underway that might or might not get done. I'm working on it. Half of my presents are wrapped and all but a few presents are bought. Gift cards are mostly all I have left. I made 2 cheese balls tonight one for my scrappin' buddies and one for Jason to take to work. I also made those noodle/butterscotch haystack things, and made my cookie dough and will bake it soon. I have to wait for it to chill in the frig. My bags can't be finished until my cookies are, my tags are done as well as my cards.

oh by the way Thanks so much for shopping at the Barrel if you did, I need my job and it is job security when you see all those people spending their money. Thanks a bunch.

See most of you on Friday night or Saturday I can't wait

NO posting.

I'm sure you've noticed no blogging for me lately. We have been without a computer for a couple of weeks because we had no power cord and who knew it was such an ordeal to obtain a new one for a laptop. I had no idea how ridiculously expensive they were.

Lots going on with the holiday fast approaching. presents to wrap!! and alot of them! This week is shopping days at work and they are always a little crazy.!!

Next weekend is my big scrap event with my friends swapping cookies and tags and pages ! can't wait and I have a ton of gifts to finish and had a couple more added to my plate this week. One i'm being paid for so I couldn't say no to that!!

Bonnie Wilcome

For those of you who know Bonnie you know she is a wonderful caring person. Who loves us all with a huge heart. She had a heart attack yesterday, she is now in stable condition. She actually had 2 heart attacks and is now equipped with a stint. The store is in limbo but I understand Mike is taking drastic measures to go ahead and get rid of it however possible. Her daughter Debbie Turner is going to run the store until they can get sell. Please send prayers her way. I'll post any new updates I have.

Really a boring week.

That is why I haven't posted anything. I've just been getting ready for the big turkey day at work, and the big shopping day on Friday. Making my list checking it twice. As the kids get older that get harder and harder to buy for and try to decide what to get and what they really want. Sometimes I think they want more than they did when they were little that they don't really want but thinks its cool for a minute.

Nick also brought the stuff home today to order his class ring. that made me go wow a class ring. Is it time for that?Hard to believe. more later

We survived the week.

Jason said last night he was actually going to miss the little girl. I love her she is sweet as can be and she was no trouble at all. She didn't have to be corrected or told no except about the remote. but with all that said I hope God is in on my plan to have no more little ones of my own. Nieces and Nephews will be just fine with me.

With the Christmas season upon us I have all sorts of things that need to be finished. Not even counting the gift buying and wrapping. How did I decide to make so many things before Christmas? Its a little crazy really. There really isn't any of the projects I can let go. So I'm scrapping at home which I almost never do. I'm scrapping the weekend of the Christmas swap and all the evenings in between that I'm actually home. Wish me luck!!!

Scrapbooking in the New year ...

Please let me know the dates when you guys get it worked out. Our clubhouse, not as nice as Betty's would be avaiable to. The bathrooms are a little rustic (clean but old) and there is just a frig and we have to bring our own tables and chairs but its there if you want to try it.

But personally I really like the clubhouse as long as Betty doesn't mind getting it. I have to turn my schedule in a month at a time at work so let me know if you know the dates so I can try to be off.

Betty when I see you will you tell me how to get music on my blog? Thanks


The cutie is still sleeping and its 9:12am. she was asleep about 9:30 last night.

the little cutie

She is something. She is keeping us on our toes pretty well. I rocked her last night for about 10 seconds and she was out. Other than bed time and hair washing she has been an angel. more later

Weekly recap...

So you all will be at Barb's for the card class this weekend, I'll be at Jason's sisters wedding. I'm pretty sure a couple of people are going to take care of me and make sure I get all the stuff, thank you ahead of time friends.

Well we are keeping our 17 month old niece for the week. We will get her on Sunday night, and then we are going to return her on Thursday evening. Her parents are going to Barbados(I think t hat is how you spell it). Tyson just got home from Iraq and then they have their wedding Saturday and fly out on Sunday. Its been along time since I had a little one under foot. Surely we will get through it all. You probably won't be hearing much from me next week.

Have fun on Saturday ...

Count down to January get away 77 days

Group shot

Here we are. Jermey even found crickets to play during our walk up.

The Chocolate dessert you could choose ...

I didn't have this dessert I had apple but I really liked this picture.

Just home

Been home a little while. Retreat was great. The hats worked out well everyone thought we were cute. We didnt win the all american scrappers got us. ANd let me say they were decked out. WE all got several things done, Saturday was the least productive day for all of us. For me Thursday night and Friday were productive. After that I just lost my mojo. Post pics one day this week, I just won't get to it tonight.

Its Friday ...

Retreat is going great. 67 people were here for Thursday bonus day. We are having a blast and getting alot of cropping done. more later

I can't wait I'm so excited it will be so much fun.

Don't forget shopping days next Tuesday and Wednesday. Anytime after 6pm.

Employee shopping days

Cracker Barrel is having Employee appreciation days next Tuesday and Wednesday. I will be available after 6pm for you to check out. Anyone can come and bring your friends. Let me know if you plan to be there.

Big shopping trip..

Debbie w, Debbie h, Rhonda and I all went shopping in Nashville yesterday. It was alot of fun. WE all bought a ton. The back end of Debbie's truck was very full. I got pens, and paper (still haven't found much paper for my vacation book) and a new paper carrying thing and more paper. Joann had it 5 for $1 and michaels was on sale also and it was soild bazzill. Oh and I also got a bigger zyron than the x, but not the biggest one. Maybe it will work better than that 510 I got.

I think DW bought stamps and I'm not sure what else. NOt sure about the other two either, except they were purchasing paper at Michaels.

We also ran into Terri and Olive Garden and at Joann's.

10 years

Today Jason and I have been married for 10 years. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems like decades. I love him so much and we are so blessed to have a wonderful marriage. We are going to dinner all dressed up and then who knows what else.

Another picture of vacation

Couldn't help but post one more picture. We had a great time. Well lets see what has been going on here.

Nick got an 8 point buck on Saturday afternoon evening. pretty cool I think.

Jason and I will be married 10 years on Friday. Wow

Emily is doing great also.

The return

We are home. Back to the real world today :(

The castle.

We spent the last 2 days in the Magic Kingdom. Here's a pic of the castle.

Epcot day one

WE went to Epcot. No lines at all. Soarin was pretty cool, as was Space ship earth and Test Track. We left our condo at 8am and left Epcot around 7pm. More later

WE are here!!

We got to the condo around 215 pm (eastern) this afternoon. We went to DTD tonight after Jason watched the 1st half of the ND game. It was busy but not crazy. We went in all the stores and what alot of disney stuff there is. The lego store was nuts. I'd heard there was a scrapbook store but it was closed. World of disney had some scrap stuff but didn't look because I thoght there was a whole store. Anyway condo is nice. We had a little trouble getting around since we got here. Jason and I have fussed about it several times. He can't seem to understand the layout and I didn't study it because I thought he would just know like usual. Anyway more tomorrow.

Packing

So tonight I'm packing. Mostly (is that a word?) everything is packed but my son will only wear jeans so I'm waiting for those to dry. ANd in the morning I'll pack the toiletries and stuff like that. It still is kinda overwhelming to me if we were flying I'd have to pair way down. The count stands at 1 back pack, 1 duffel bag, 1 camera/laptop bag, 1 extra lg suitcase, 1 lg suitcase, 1 medium suitcase, 1 cosmetic bag, a cooler and a crate with food in it. Do I really need all that stuff? I guess I do its on my list of stuff. And its just 1 day until we leave. WOW

And there are 4 goody bags which are about the size of those black walmart bags that you can get now instead of plastic? That is alot of bags!!

WE Leave in 4 days

Well everything is coming at me quick now. I have a huge pile of stuff in the bedroom that needs to be divided up and put in suitcases ect. I getting Emily out of school at 12:30 on Friday and getting nick about 1:45 and we are trying to leave by 3pm. That may or may not happen. We can't hardly wait. We being Em and I, Jason and Nick are not that excited. I just hope Nick can be nice for 7 days. Itll be interesting to see how it all works out.

Anyway so much to do, gotta go to Debbie's and get my shot, pick up movies, and then Id like to get a pedicure if I have time. I have two more tanning sessions I have to work 3 more days and church on Wednesday night and then all the stuff that just goes with leaving town, you know clean out frig, go to bank to get cash (alot of cash lol) um take nick to practice tomorrow night, cook dinner tomorrow and Thursday night which means dishes to do. The packing is the part that has me a little crazy. I'm completley overwhelmed. I don't know where to start I have about a billion things that I don't normally pack stuff for the condo and then ponchos and banaids and headache meds and do you take those with you to the park everyday and have to lug around a bag. ANd what about my camera? how do I want to carry it. I bought a new camera bag but haven't decided for sure if I like it.

Sorry for the vent. I'll post an update later in the week. Maybe with a picture of all the JUNK i'm taking. 4 pairs of shoes Wow. that is to many

Terri ...

I'm so sorry for your loss Terri. If there is anything we can do please let us know. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My time clock is ticking

I only have 9 days until I leave and I still have about a million things to do. I'll try to blog more often though. more later

Friday

14 Days until I leave.

8 hours until we are cropping

see ya then

I PHone

I just can't belive it. My I phone is empty. All my phone numbers and everything else is gone. I was resyncing and I messed up. Everything is gone. So I'll be asking for numbers this weekend. See ya then.

Disney ...

My vacation is coming in a hurry. I only have about 5 free nights until vacation. I feel like I can't get it all done its 3 weeks away but heck there sure is alot to do. So instead of doing it I'm surfing the internet.?? Why????? Why ???

On another note cropping this weekend. Betty are we going to have a big crowd? I'll be there Friday night. Not decided about Saturday. I do need to get some pictures developed.

Bonnie

I talked to Bonnie today (owner scrapbook villiage) and she wanted me to let everyone know that Regina (her daughter) Is a nominee for Homecoming queen at BCHS. One of the male cheerlearders will be escorting her. She is very excited. She told Bonnie she thought that was for preps, and cheerlearders not people like her, and Bonnie said that what the love of Jesus in your heart can do for you.

I just think it is GREAT.

Godstock 15

Well another Godstock has come and gone. We have been to about 10 Godstocks (the last 10) and it has never rained during worship. It has rained right up until time and right after time but never during worship. Well it did this year it drizzled all night. My socks were wet my clothes, my hair, it was an interesting evening to say the least. I did enjoy it though. Saturday evening was much better and we had a fire in Melinda's campsite after worship and had marshmallows and hot dogs. I didn't take my camera, I never do, not sure why so I won't have any pictures.

I should be at the next weekend, at least Friday night.

stamps?????

Wont be at the crop this weekend. It is Godstock. Angie said on her blog it would be the stamp thing? Is this correct? Let me know so I can go ahead and give DW my money for that, because I won't be there. I might be there next time for Friday pm and then not again until the Christmas crop. I think. see ya soon

Another week has gone by

OK so we've made it to another weekend. Most of you have a three day weekend. I worked on Saturday and I work on Monday. I'm going to Godstock the next weekend. I hope this week goes as fast as last week did for me. See ya on well maybe if you are a scrapper I'll see ya on the 19th and 20th. Or at least that Friday night. Don't know about Saturday yet.

So its the rumor that HL is getting all this new paper. It wasn't out yet last night but its on sale this week. I really liked some of the new stacks and I still have a gift card so I'll be using that to get another one. I got the RockStar one last week. Busy week for me 2 days of meeting with HO and then a day off but I have to get car tags, driver lic. ect so not much of a day off. Then we will almost be to the weekend again.

Craft With Helix

Craft With Helix


Guys check out this new tool. I called Helix this morining they said it won't be in the store for awhile but they are sending me a demo dvd. It is 69.99. The mag I saw it in said it won the best of show at cha. Let me know what you think.

Another Weekend

We are off for another weekend adventure. Bonnies crop tonight and all day tomorrow. We are going to stay at my mom's in Glasgow, so we won't have to drive back to Bowling Green.

Anyway post some pics later of the weekend.

Almost a whole week has gone by and I didn't even realize it. The weekend was so busy and now its almost the weekend again. Last night was the first night for Club 56 for the school year we had about 60 kids. That is alot of kids.

Anyway see most of you at DW's this weekend. And my son turnes 17 today. He'll be grown and leaving home before I even realize it.

see ya

Nick was awesome

I am so proud of Nick, and Adam. They did an awesome job tonight. Maybe he'll be supporting us in a few years. He did a really great job. I couldn't belive how well he did. I'll post pics on Monday.

I'm really busy tomorrow with birthday party and family here from Ohio and then Sunday is church and a wedding reception, and then a birthday party at my mother in laws for Jason, Nick and myself.

I'll post pics of my busy weekend on Monday.

Nicks big debut...

Tonight is Nick's big debut. His first gig in public. I'm a little nervous, he sometimes does things that make me extra nervous. oh well I can't be held responsible for a 17 year olds idea of fun,....
I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

Jason's Big Day

WEll I'm just posting a quick hello. Jason had his birthday today. I made all his favorites for dinner and then the kids and I left so he could play Xbox with no interruptions. The kids and I did some school shopping. Nick is harder to please than Emily. Emily just wants things that cost too much. Nick just wants stuff that doesn't exist. See ya later in the week.

another week come and gone

Its Thursday again last Thursday I was doing a count down. I don't have anything to count down to tonight. I guess I could do Disney Count 10 weeks or is it 11 weeks. So I won't start boring you with that already. I could count down to Bethany's wedding, Which is like 10 months, or Christmas which is 5 months. You know all sorts of things to count down till.

We had a lost and found ipod at work and after the right amount of time elapsed Gerry let me bring it home for Emily so she is really excited she bought some songs. She goes back to Glasgow next weekend for the school year.


I might stop to say hey Friday or Saturday but I won't be cropping. see ya till next time. Here are 2 pics from the weekend, I really love. One is at Patti's and the other is the "junk" we use.

What a nice place to stay

The weekend was alot of fun. Anyone shopping for a scrapbook retreat I would recommend this. The waiting on you is absolutely amazing, you just get up from the table and leave your dishes. Where else can you do that? They helped you carry all your bags in. On Friday night they turned down your bed and put a mint on the pillow. They had soda and water and tea to drink all the time. they also had wonderfully prepared meals. we had wonderful food the whole weekend. There are pics on the blog also so make sure to check them all out.

the crop room, lunch on saturday and salad from dinner Friday

pictures from the weekend

Well by this time

tommorow I'll be scrapping. We leave in just 10 hours. Jason and I took the kids to Glasgow tonight for the weekend. I don't pick them up until Monday night after work. I'm all packed. THe clothes took up much more room than I realized they would. I'll post some pictures when we get home on Sunday.

14 hours ... i'm taking the kids to glasgow tonight, and then packing my clothes. Dw I'll be at your house around 6:45 am because Jason is dropping me off on the way to work.

3 blissful hours

I get to be at home alone tonight for 3 hours. It is heaven I have what I want to watch on the Tv and I'm on the computer with no one asking to use it. I can do what ever I want.

37 hours until we are gone to Paducha for the weekend. I'm all packed except clothes!! who needs clothes anyway.

ok all you quite people

Betty, Angie where have you guys been. tell us what is going on in your life.????

I got a few more things ready tonight. I go to get my hair cut in the morning and then I work till 8. Jason is leaving bright and early on Saturday morning. I have to work. Emily will be sleeping I'm sure. She has been sleeping everyday until like noon. Nick is still at the Townley's until Saturday.

there is nothing exciting going on here as you can see. more later maybe

its thursday again. we are going to be leaving on Friday next week. I'm alot more ready than I was I'm about 3/4 of the way ready to go. don't forget your suits for the hot tub. I'm ready for a little break. I hope that we have a great time and get alot done. see ya

Have a great holiday!!


dh and dw we will be on the road (or close) in 2 weeks. can you belive its finally here. I'm so not ready.

Thursday already

Its Thursday already not sure where the week went. It happens when you are just back from vacation I've worked alot this week, so there for I've lost track of time. Ummm so what to tell nothing to tell really. I work today, and tomorrow morning and going to a cook out Friday night and then work Saturday but hopefully some sun in the afternoon so I don't lose my tan.

oh yea and we have no air. It stinks haven't slept in 2 nights now. that's what the bags under my eyes are from.

a couple more shots of emily. the water tower was Nick's favorite thing when he was little. He spent hours starring at the tower. HE wanted to walk to eat and touch it. He was amazed and they are tearing it down soon so this was proable the last time he'll see it.

this one of the pictures of Em I took in indiana. She wanted several photo shoots. She kept asking can we walk to the creek, the railroad, ect. She wanted them for her scrapbook. this creek (gross water) is a couple houses down from Mamaw's house. I'll post more pics later.

Well it starts

The kids have been pretty nice to each other and me for a couple of days but this morning ww 3 appeared at my mama's. Not fun. Nick's attitude is more than I know what to do with and Emily is just plain ole hateful sometimes. I forbid them to talk to one another we will see how that goes. Nick can't answer anything without a rude hateful answer it makes me want to smack his face. Well that being said I do love my kids and I don't really care if they are having a good time or not, I'm seeing my family period and if they don't like it to bad.

see ya chelle

From Indiana

Ok I'm setting at my Aunt and Uncles and visiting with my family. Its been a wonderful time so far. We've had a little storm this afternoon. We had taco's for supper and I'm a little sun burnt. Its been aa great week. I'll type more later.

Well the adventures of today

We went to the good outlet mall. And the big spender for the day was Renee, Debbie's sister. I didn't hardley buy anything today. Wanted a pair of kahki capri's but couldn't find any. Did score a pair of ND flip flops though. My husband will think I'm so cool.

more later

Its our big weekend

Well Debbie and I are in the big Louisville. We are at her sisters and have been to all the big scrapstores. Hope you all are having a great time scrapping. If you run out of stuff to do you can get some of mine from my house.

We got lots of paper and other stuff (including undo wipes) from archivers. Debbie is the big spender for the weekend so far. Yea me.

More later

My big Thursday

I had a tooth pulled first one ever. it didn't feel to good. It was a wisdom tooth that had been giving me some pain so they extracted it because it was just a wisdom tooth. Have you ever seen the roots on one of those suckers??? Its huge. I was shocked that came out of my mouth. Also the dentist said I had a very small mouth. So I know all of you are amazed but I can now say I have a small mouth. Anyway so now I have one less tooth and they also cleaned them while I was there.

I'm sitting by the pool as I write this. I have to go to work in a little while but letting Em swim before I have to get ready. Kind of a nice place, except its freaking hot. I was hoping that rain shower yesterday would have cooled things off but I think it made it hotter.

Hot at work

Well, how was everyones Monday? Mine just a plain Monday, our air at work still isn't working. My office retail storage and retail store. yuck its hot and stale in there. Its suppose to get fixed today. I hope that is true. Yesterday Iwas there for 1 hour and my head was wet, and I'm never that hot. Hope today is better.

See ya'll soon

Visiting today

So let me tell you what I'm going to do today. I'm going to visit a new church. We won't be changing or anything but we will be visiting. I'm kind of curious what Jason will think about it. I don't think he has been anywhere but Hillvue since um 5years ago when we went to church in Indiana with my Grandma. Before that maybe since before we were married. I hope he enjoys it and we can maybe visit other churches on occasion.

Then we are going to spend the afternoon at the pool. ANd Monday morning will start another day at work yuck.

more later

So this is reunion picture of sorts.

I spent all my spare time with these people until about 4 years ago when the ministery pasted its season of usefullness. We had many happy memories. Almost all the regular participates in that ministery are in this pic and they've all had kids. I wish I had a pic of us 3 years ago. What a difference time makes.

A new Crop date

Debbie Wilson is having us over to crop. In August. Put it on your calendar now. August 8th and 9th. We are going to cook out maybe. We'll see when its closer. Please come and Crop the weekend away with us.

Then work on Monday and a big meeting today was at work or working from 8am to 8pm. Which means I get to do a somewhat short day on Friday before we scrapbook. see ya Friday I'll try to post later in the week.

by the way can someone link me to Angies blog.. See I've lost all my bookmarks. searched scraphappygirl but it didn't com up???????????/ Thanks

Ok the computer is cured...

It pays to have friends who know a little IT stuff. We dumped and reloaded the computer ourselves and it was free. The only thing I lost was about 150 itunes songs because the virus was so bad we couldn't back up anything. Glad I didn't have the cricut thing I would have lost it also.

Anyway DH I'm so sorry to hear your news. Wondering if anyone has bought Bonnies yet? We are on for scrapbooking next weekend? Anything else I need to know about anyone or anything? Let me hear from you guys.

Virus

I have a bad virus. or had I guess. It crashed the computer guys software. So I won't be blogging much until we get our security fixed. we still aren't sure why it didn't work

Debbie Harris...

Ok so you tell us you got a ton of hair cut off and no picture. We want a picture. Come on the girls are cute and I'm sure you are too. Let us see.

Scrapbook village for sale. so sad

SCRAPBOOK VILLAGE---FOR SALE
YES. We are selling Scrapbook Village, and Here’s the Scoop!!
***Not all of you know that my husband will be 70 years old in a few months.
***Not all of you know that I’m not too far behind.
***Not all of you know that Mike is a Cancer Survivor. Pure and simple. We just want to spend time together, traveling around the country in our motor home, enjoying each other before it’s too late.
***TIME is the key factor here. We don’t intend to spend 6 months to a year to sell the business. (you can think that way when you’re in your 30’s or 40’s.)
***For this reason, we are pricing this 7 year old, Premier Scrapbook business at a greatly reduced figure. This would be a “God-send” to the right person. It’s a “bitter-sweet” situation for me because the business is so much fun. Running this business has placed me in the coveted 3% of all working people who just “love going to work”. But. As Mike put it, “The road is calling and the clock is ticking”.
Our Staff would like to remain if at all possible. I will be available during the first 6 months to personally tutor the new owner and show her all the “ropes” and introduce her to the “right people” in the industry.
You all know that I have out my heart & soul into this business for all these years, but right now, spending the next five years traveling with Mike is my number one priority.
If you are serious about owning your own scrapbook store, and would like to take advantage of this “turn-key operation”, Contact me as soon as possible. All inquires are confidential. Bonnie Wilcome

Nothing to blog about

So we are 2 days into a new week. Nothing much to really blog about.
Mom and dad are nearly done with the house they are the painting stage. Waiting on floors and counter tops.
Nick is just a few days away from the end of the year. And it is a much better year than last year.

Anyone have anything new and exciting to add? Remember to keep DW in your thoughts the test is soon.

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all of you who read my blog and are mothers. I hope you all have a Great Mothers Day.

Crop Dates

Crop dates... May 30th and 31st

June 20th and 21st

July 25th and 26t.

Thank you Betty. WE love crop weekends. I will have to let you know which dates I'm avaiable. Emily is here with her shmsexy socks in case you aren't versed in 13 year old language that means no show socks that are polka dotted. She wanted to be sure I added that part. More later

Another Monday

I guess I won't be posting pictures they are all on Angie's board this morning. For any of you who want to see them they are on her blog. If anyone needs copies I'll be glad to get them to you.

Today was May 5th the mexican holiday and we had mexican at work. I was suppose to make taco's nachos, spanish rice ect but nobody told me until I got to work this morning at 8:30 so we had frozen stuff from walmart with chips and salsa. Not sure why nobody told me until this morning.

Had a great day anyway. Betty let us know of any future dates.

National Scrapbook Weekend

Well the great weekend of our lives is over. Hmm. Sad face. Well anyway had a great time this weekend. Again Betty thanks for securing the clubhouse for us. I was happy that I got to scrap for 3 days. I will post pictures on Monday or Tuesday. Hope everyone got lots accomplished and had a great weekend. Pics are coming.

A whole week went by ...

How did I seem to go a whole week and not post. It must have been a busy week. Let's see went to Louisville and up to the outlets. They had a croc outlet and I was in hog heaven. I only ended up with one pair but they were cheap. I also liked some of the other stores. Maybe someday (during Christmas) we could all take a shopping road trip.

Is everyone ready for the big scrapping weekend. Wonder if my husband remembers I won't be home all weekend. He and Nick will be fending for themselves. I'm on the way to the grocery and to pick up stuff for the weekend.

Betty... My friend Melinda is coming on Saturday until she runs out of pictures. More later

Just a note we aren't going to be buying our house right now. We are going to wait a little longer. more later

Here is a picture of the kids. They thought they were movie stars

A little under the weather.

I'm at home in bed resting so I can maybe scrap tonight. I went to the doc and got antibiotics so I'm on the mend. Don't feel to bad. Just resting see ya tonight for small time. and tomorrow for a little while.

How about the quake at 4:36 this morning?

Didn't realize...

Its been almost a week with no new posts. Not alot to tell I guess. Everything is marginally boring so I'm liking that. Some friends of our called to say they are moving away and do we want to buy their house, well we are on the fence. Location is great but I've always hated the lay out of their house. Who knows don't even know for sure we can get the money. Anyway...

Scrappers not sure how much I'll be scrapping. Em will be here so I won't be back from getting her until 6 or 7 on friday. On Saturday she doesn't really have anything to do so not sure how that will work out.

Betty the list from NSB weekend. I can't find mine anywhere could you email me the list you have? thanks

Here is the friendly couple

Nicks date...

I'll have to post pictures later. Haven't downloaded yet. He was a gentlemen. He shook every ones hand at her house as she introduced them. She looked beautiful. Nick looked all grown up in his uniform with a beautiful girl in a formal. He gave her, her corsage and said "my mom thought I should." Her name was Raven and they are "just friends". He helped her get her dress in the truck and opened and shut the doors for her he was a romantic. ( at least the part I saw).
They stayed til the end they danced and Nick was a sweaty mess when he got in the truck. I think they had a great time. I'll post pics tonight or Saturday.

Boring week

Well I haven't had much to say as of lately. So I guess that is why the quiet has happened on the blog. Work is well work and nick is well still a teenager.

The single mothers car wash is at church on Saturday. If you are a single mom bring the kids for free haircuts and snacks and get your oil changed and your car washed, its a great community thing.

Also Sunday is the ground breaking for our new kids building at church. Tailgating aftewards. This wouldn't be a good Sunday to visit. Everything will be all different I'm sure.

More later in the week.

Had some pics to post but I'll do it later in the week. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I got some done. But BK and DW were the winners this weekend they just got a ton done. More later

This weekend

Oh its here we get to scrapbook. What is everyone bringing and what can I bring? I'll be there on Saturday morning. I get off at 8 pm tonight so I might stop by to say hey. Let me know what I need to bring on saturday. Emily proably won't be there on saturday until mid morning.

some info...

So the April's Fool joke has come and gone and yes it was a joke. I'll tell the whole story this weekend. Glad its ok with everyone if Emily comes along. She proably won't do much but she will proably at least try.

My son came home from his dad's all ready to go somewhere else. Anywhere else really. He says he doesn't like being in this house. I'm sure its because there are rules. Tons and tons of rules according to him. I don't really agree.
The rules are as follows. no gutair before 9am or after 9pm, take out trash and empty dishwasher when needed, don't get in trouble and school, don't smoke, drugs ect. and get c's or better in all your classes. And attend church. wow those are some tough rules.
Are you kidding me!!!!!!!! He has such a hard life. I know this is all because his dad is going to be having his own place and he is thinking he'll move there and not have to deal with me anymore. Cause I nag all the time. Wow I wish I didn't have teenagers some days. THis to shall pass I'm sure.

seeya later gang.

found pictures

Found the pictures. I'm so happy. Sent to the cousin. HOpe everyone is having a great weekend. I spent the day with another scrapper south of the border it all the cool craft stores and a certain lss. Didn't buy alot buy a few things. Got a cool stamp set and some journaling boxes. Emily also bought some stuff because she will be scrappy with us next weekend. (betty if thats ok??)

see ya chelle

april fools jokes??

So what a week its been. I have a few minutes so let me just give you all an update. My old boss may or may not be playing one of the best april fool's jokes ever on me. That is all i'm going to say about that until it is all finished up.

I love to get people on April Fools day. Its really alot of fun. So they are all working together to get me its not very much fun for me but they will get a great laugh out of it.

So what is going on with everyone? Betty how many are cropping next weekend? I'll be there on Saturday but not Friday night.


See ya later

Another day

Another pic of retreat, Michelle working in her class she so gladly volunteered for. (ha ha)



Well, I haven't had much to say this week.. What a crazy 2 days its been. On Monday a worked 9 hours and almost 12 hours yesterday. I don't go in until later today.


I'm in search of 2 pictures that I had in my hand right before retreat. They are of my Grandparents, my cousin called and asked for them to be emailed to him. He is getting the tattoo that papa had and my other cousin already has. The reason I have the pic is because I was going to use it for my tatoo. I had already misplaced these once and found them while packing for retreat. I then put them right where I would know where they were. Any idea where that could be? I've ripped the house apart trying to figure it out. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Did I bother to tell anyone where I put them?>?????





Anyway thanks for taking the time to listen to the vent. I'll find those things probably to late for him though.

Happy Easter

Hope everyone takes a minute today during the food, and egg hunts to reflect on what this day is really about. Some 2000 plus years ago Jesus died on a cross, a horrible death, for our sins so we all may be saved and spend enteral life in heaven. Please celebrate this holiday in a local church.

Have a Happy Easter

Easter weekend

Here is another pic from retreat. The girls and their Sweetheart Bakery Cake.


Most of our usual bloggers are going to be MIA over the holiday. 2 of our friends will be going north. Hope it doesn't snow in NY this week.

Emily is here for the weekend. She and Nick are already bickering amongst themselves. Why they can't just get along for a few hours is beyond me.

We all have new clothes for Easter we will be a very springy family. Except Nick not sure what he is going to do except not want to participate in anything the family is doing.


Glad to be off the next few days. I'll try to blog some more.

bad person commenting on my blog

can't seem to figure out how to delete the comment. Does anyone know how to delete others comments?? Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. please don't open any of the things that say click here especially if you don't recognize the name.
sorry I'm working on it.

New Pictures

Retreat news

The retreat was so wonderful. We relaxed, but for Debbie and I we both worked really hard on Thursday. I didn't get as much done as I wanted. But oh well it happens. We had almost 50 scrappers on Thursday night vs just 15 last retreat. People are using the extra time. So if you are signing up for the next retreat, make plans for Thursday at 1pm.

i'll try to post some pics of the weekend later tonight or tomorrow

Just wanted to say hey from the lake. Friday at 11 am and there is no snow. or sleet or ice. Hope it stays away.

Everyone is cropping away about 50 people here last night vs. just 15 last year on Thursday.

more on monday (with pics)

thought this was interesting.

Treasure their friendship and consider yourself dearly blessed!
I had a scrappin buddy and would love to have one again but life is always changing and as time has passed we've drifted more and more apart due to life's events not to mention we live 50 miles away from each other, and all my other friends could care less about scrapbooking. I miss our times together sharing family stories and having a good girly girl time together and sharing our passion for scrapbooking.
So to those of you that have a friend that your always getting together with on a regular basis scrapping, having a good time, traveling to and from crops and other events, consider yourself lucky and value that friendship as there are many of us who long for that kind of relationship with someone special as a best friend.
I guess I'm just down in the dumps this morning and have attended a recent crop, where others were scrapping with their friend(s) and I was off to myself and was even the last person to have someone else come and sit beside them, and actually it was when I was leaving even.
I guess in my heart I was envious of everyone else. Oh well, enough of my whinning, and Thanks for letting me vent, but I just wanted to step foward and remind everyone to hold their friends close to their heart and do something special for them to show much you value their friendship(s)! Have a great remaining week(end) scrapping!

My weight loss is at a stand still, not gaining, not losing. Just stuck. and i haven't been eating well so that is why I'm not losing. Gotta get back in the swing of things. Probably after the weekend.

NEW TEETH

Well my husband has new teeth. These are temps we have to wait for the crowns to be made for the others. Most of you know I wasn't excited about spending the money but he looks totally different. I didn't think it would make that much of a change but WOW. I'll post a pic soon.

WE also had our heat fixed after 7 winters its going to work right, I can hardly belive it. Honestly I don't belive it but we'll see in a couple of days if its still working.

Knight rider news story by Silverman... can I hope...

http://www.knightrideronline.com/news/2008/02/silverman_knight_rider_likely.php

A pretty uneventful weekend. I worked today, but scrapped on Friday night as well as Saturday night. Also watched the new Knight Rider for the 2nd time. It was an absolute great movie. I looked on the internet and I didn't see any mention of a series. I hope it becomes a series. It was such a great movie.

DH.. I have your card books, dw had them, I'll bring to retreat and your recipe stuff as well. By the way we have cake and brownie duty again. o well.

Bonnie has a waiting list for retreat. So in the fall make sure to get in on the first day or you may not get in. I hope it is going to be a great time, so everyone will come back and bring their friends.

Is it Friday already???????

What a week this has been. Not sure where yesterday went. On the weeks a work nights I always lose a day or two. And then yesterday went bam and it was gone. I have server meetings tomorrow andstill dont have the agenda finalized or the food bought. Somehow today I'll accomplish this and crop tonight.

Is everyone ready to crop.

2 weeks to go and off we go.

see ya tonight.

okay so it's working maybe. WE have 17 or 18 days left until retreat depends what day you arrive.

I hear a few people went to Nashville this weekend, was it for great deals. Tell me what you got.

Crop this weekend, I'll be there Friday night, maybe on Saturday night but I work Saturday. It depends what Emily decides to do.

What is everyone bringing food wise Friday?????

the blogger isn't letting me post

Good news

Well Em is here. Or at least at my mom's. They are having some trouble getting her enrolled in school but should all be worked out next week. We are going shopping tomorrow for her 13th birthday. She is so grown up it scares me sometimes. She is also very mouthy ( don't know where she gets that).

um retreat count down is 20 or 21 days depending on which day you arrive.

HOpe everyone had a great Valentines Day. I got a card. Pretty much the same as every year.

weight check in for the week

welll just a pound this week. But one pound at a time is all it takes. The new cricut carts are ok there was only one I saw I really wanted. The home whaterver swirls, ect. you never really know until you see them out of the box.


Spring retreat is sold out!!!!

23 or 24 days depending on what day you are arriving.


see ya soon.

new cricut carts

hope this link works for you. some cool one.

http://twopeasinabucket.kaboose.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=2486129

26 days for some 25 days for others. Are you ready?????????
Did you guys all have a great time. Things haven't worked out for seeing Emily. I should see her next weekend now.

I have bible study this afternoon. And I work days this week. I hate the weeks that I work during the night. I have a hard time getting back ontrack. I haven't really accomplished anything that I had planned on this weekend. Oh well there is always next week. On the 18th Jason and I will have been together for 10 years. Or at least that is when we met. Our first date was a few days later.

See ya'll soon.

Well....

Someone asked about a count down clock for retreat. I've used those cutey ones you can down load but how about a manual clock. I'll keep up with it myself. So 29 days until the friday of retreat. So Djw thats just 28 for us.

Hope you all have a blast on Saturday. I'll be spending the day with Emily. I've also got some Emily news but I'll share it with you guys when I see you. Nothing to exciting. Just news.

I got a new couch tonight. We kept the old one too. We think we might want both when we buy a house. So at least for a little while our living room is packed full.

one pound

one more pound. There is still alot to go but hopefully I'll be at goal weight by the end of August. So I've lost 10 pounds now. Just 10 more before retreat.

Retreat is something it is only what 4 weeks away. Are you ready. What projects are you working on? have you started to pack??

Let me know how much you are bringing to retreat.

What a game.....

It was quite a finish. If you aren't a football fan I'm sorry. But I love this game. Football is a great game. We paced the floor I wanted the Gaints to win and they did. How fun was that.

The patriots should have won and it pretty much went down to the last min. I love a game like that. If Notre Dame could just win more than they lose this year it will be a great year.

So the conference was great. I learned alot to use for VBS this summer. We stayed in a fancy hotel with a valet, a bellhop and a huge lobby. Starbucks included. We were on the 20th floor and the view with all the lights at night was kind of neat. There was a pool and all that but we were to busy we didn't see any of that. It has been another hard WW week. When you can't control what your options are it makes it hard.

Anyway more later

not blogging

I won't be blogging for the next couple of days. I'm going to Nashville TN for a conference with a couple of the pastors from church. I'll be back sometime late of Friday. Have a great rest of the week.

just one this week

Well it was just a pound this week. making the total 8.2 pounds. Next week when the water gain is gone hopefully I'll lose 2 or 3. Want to get down before retreat, so I can splurge a little.

Not much else to tell, except Nick ran a 40 something the 2nd fastest in his Rotc. He's going to be on some kinda PT team. Not sure of the details, since he's a teenager and the details are foggy to him most of the time.

More later

The week begins again....

Well you all know Monday morning is my weigh in. I haven't over eaten my points but I am retaining water. My thought is it'll be about a pound. Oh well maybe 2 next week.

What a busy weekend I had. today was very busy. I hear my friends had a great time at Bonnie's in Glasgow on Saturday. Wish I could have been there.

You'll hear from me tomorrow.

Its my day off !!!!!!!!!!

My day off has arrived. Unfortunately I do have to work tomorrow. Anyway not much in the plan today. I cleaned the house last night so I could lay around today. I do have to go to the grocery today but I love to go to the grocery. (except its cold) so going to the grocery isn't really a chore to me.

I don't really have much to add. My mother in law did have surgery this morning and is now in recovery. Jason is at the hospital but I was told it wasn't necessary for me to be there. She didn't have any trouble and everything went as planned. She should be coming home in a couple of hours. Jason did say a couple of weeks ago something about us checking on her and making sure she has food and other stuff she needs. Anyway Patti if you are reading this get well soon.

Busy week

So I've had a pretty busy week so far. I have worked long hours the last 3 days. And that means I got to come home at 1:30 today. Becasue tomorrow is another long day. And I'm off on Friday. Hope you guys have a great time at your class at Bonnie's Saturday. If its something I want get me one and teach me how please.

I also have chuch tonight, a lesson to prepare for work on Saturday, bible study and church Sunday. Wow. I'll need a break after this week.

its 3.2

well its got to be quick I'm running late but 3.2 is the pounds I lost this week would have been more but the chili cook off killed me. see ya

the weekend catch up

So I've been out of touch a couple of days. I scrapbooked on Friday night and Saturday. Jason had the events of the weekend he managed to bust a water pipe at his fathers home. Something about some rust, and the next thing you know bam. So something simple turned into a plumber being called. YUCK.

WE went to the chili cook off the other night. It was alot of fun actually. Joshua provided most of the entertainment for all of us.

At the crop this weekend we saw a bunch of people we hadn't seen in awhile. Well we saw them last time but the scrapped this time. Glad they came. Hope they come back.

As far as WW goes. I had a bad day yesterday. The chili cook off was to hard to tell points. I think I did OK but probably went over 4 or 5. But most days last week I left 1 or 2 on the table so I hope when I hop on the scales in the morning it'll be what I want to see. Which is at least 2 pounds.

In other random news Emily ( child in Mississippi) got 1.5 inches of snow yesterday. She lives very south in Mississippi.

Another day....

well until I started writing about my life everyday I didn't realize how truely boring it is.

I have finished another week at the barrel how great is that. I have really started thinking about switching jobs but then I think of the hours and cut in pay at least for awhile and losing my discount and I just can't start really looking. We'll see.

I really enjoy doing this everyday. My food struggle from a couple of days ago isn't as bad as it was. But i could still eat a gaint snickers bar if one were to appear in my living room.

I'll be at the crop tomorrow around 5-530 with 100 cal paks and drinks for myself. Anything else needed let me know. See my scrappin friends tomorrow. And my "summer" friends Saturday night at the chili cook off.

ok so this week

I'm just about to starve. As easy as last week was this week is hard. Its the middle of my "cycle" and I usually eat alot. I guess. I didn't even know I did it. I want alot of snacks and can't have them. So I'm drinking water, water, water and hoping that I survive the week. Next week will be much easier.

100 cal paks for the weekend. Any suggestions as to which ones?????

I'll keep you updated on my starvation week.

how many pounds the first week ?.....

4 i just want to thank the number 4, that's how many pounds I lost this week. So I'll bring anything you want for the weekend scrap adventure, I just need to know what other people are bringing so I can plan accordingly. see ya soon

Okay so its Saturday and I've slept in (till later than I'm willing to admit) and I have been to the grocery and had lunch. Not really much to tell. Nick surprised me when I got home from the grocery he was doing his own laundry. Granted he picked just his clothes out of the dirty clothes but at least he is participating in something that he will need to know very soon.

When I had my oil changed today I had to have a new battery. We had a 3 year warranty on the last one but couldn't remember when we bought the thing. Although I don't feel like it was 3 years ago but we went ahead and bought a new one just in case. he said I had 1/2 as many cold cranking amps as I needed. Whatever that means so I have a new battery with a warranty longer than I will probably keep the car. How much sense does that make.

Till later

Okay so day 5 on ww and everything is great. I have cleaned the house top to bottom today. The floors, the baseboards and all that jazz. I scrubbed the bathroom floors on my hands and knees and got most of the dog hair vacuumed up, probably not because Buddy sheds at an alarming rate.

For those going to retreat our fellow scrapper Tracy isn't going to fall retreat. She is cruising instead I believe. I wish I was cruising !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a very blessed day.

Look at this

Debbie W. ( aka scrappy in my house) has found this great facility. Thought I'd post the link in case anyone was interested.
http://www.cropicalparadise.com/
What kind of a day have you had. Me super. WW is going okay I haven't been able to consume all of my points without searching at the end of the night for at least 4 points. I feel like I should be losing but who really knows its a waiting game.

A did you try the Splenda, how was it???

Hope you've had a great day ..

Hope you guys have had a great day. Work wasn't so bad today, we had our audit today and actually did very well. Is anyone going to Bonnie's on Saturday for inventory? If you are you should call and let her know to expect you.

I haven't scrapped any this week, too busy but I will get my recipes printed to give you guys for my secret soup recipe.

another day

I'm off to work this morning not much to report except Nick got a grade card and it wasn't very good. If he put as much focus on his school work as he did the guitar. OH well the thoughts of being a mother of teenage.

More later today.

Soo another day

The weather is a little ugly. I could have sworn I posted this morning but there is no post there. Yesterday on weight watchers wasn't as hard as I thought I had to search last night to find something to finish out my points I just wasn't hungry.

Today i still have 8 points to eat and have eaten all my meals. Good for me. update soon

So my life changed today I hope

So today I started a weight watchers routine. packed my lunch, stayed in my points ate all my veggies and fruits have a little water left to drink and still need to find something to eat in an hour or so cause I still have 5 pts. left. I decided about 1 week ago that today would be the day I would start.

Most of you would know I have a love hate thing for my weight. I don't really care about losing weight. I'd like my clothes to fit better. I'd like my husband to not fuss about it so I'll do this again. The fact is I love food, well not really food, carbs, candy, junk. Who needs veggies? Thank goodness I like veggies, and other free foods and I already drink alot water so here we go on a weight less challenge. And now that I have announced it to the whole world I guess I'd better stick to it.

I have not signed up for the cancer crop but need to do that.

We are signed up for the retreat. Bonnie said she only had 70 sign up, so if you know anybody who would enjoy that incourage them to sign up.

What a day....

I wish I could have just stayed in bed this morning. Work was so dead which makes a day go very slow. Then there was a bit of drama with an employee. Sometimes I wish Jason was a millionaire and I could be a stay at home wife/mother.

Doesn't it sound great clean house every day. Dinner on the table. Time to do the laundry, the bathrooms. Go shopping and to lunch with your friends (OK maybe not most of them work).

Anyway I wish I could stay home. Maybe someday.

More tomorrow.

Here are some pics

Gal pals, had a great time this weekend. I ate entirely to much food. Why do we do that to ourselves? We bring all that junk and feel half sick by the time we leave. Anyway we all had a great time.

I hope A is goes to take our advice and STAND UP FOR HERSELF.

See you all in 2 weeks.

Early Saturday

Well off to scrapbook with my scrappin gang this morning. I plan to post pics later today or early tomorrow. Nick and Jason were still playing Halo when I went to bed this morning at 1 am so I guess they plan to sleep at least part of the day away.

Buddy woke me up before the alarm this morning needing to do his business which stinks cause I had 10 more mins.

Catch up more later.

Finally Friday

I'm so glad to hear from some of you on here. Some other friends actually sent me an email which was much appreciated too.
Boring day nothing to tell but will have pics tomorrow of the weekend scrap event.

see ya

Emily looking for her gifts

We did a scavenger hunt game for Em this year, she had alot of fun. Here she is looking for the last gift and it was under the tree the whole time.
