Sorry...

I haven't been blogging. I vowed myself not to get on the computer on sunday and the last two days i've been busy...

So J came home late saturday nite, like 3am, supposed to be home by 9 pm but they ended up working really late to catch up. So i just stayed up and waited for him, can't sleep anyway... so he comes in and gives me a kiss and says he has to go back on Monday morning for another week... wha.... :sigh: but every thing is fine this time around and the week seems to be going fast.

Dang i'm just going to skip the e because it's messing up my flow lol. The animals were playing and popped off the e button on my keyboard, so no button for e, hope i can fix it.

Well just wanted to pop in and say hey.

TaTa!

Football??

Apparently I thought today was friday bec i just tuned in to watch Dr Phil and football was on, Football? why would football take over Dr. Phil? oh it's SATURDAY duh. Well that means the week's OVER and J will be home tonight!!! and plus that gives me the excuse to start cleaning a bit before he comes home.

I got more to add to my list....

- the brand new comforter i just got, got bleached. Like a totally diff color. Red instead of blue.... ahh no prob

- i finally get out of the house and come home to no power... AHHHH! Me not likey. There was a power outrage and was going to be like that all night. ILs offer me to spend the the night at their house... i said nope, i'd rather stay here and read in the candlelight and stay with the dog, because in the back of my head, i felt that the power will be back on any min... sure enough, they left and 10 mins later... it was back on! ::releif::

- My EHD gave me a freak out last night, it wasn't coming up on the computer, but i thought, relax, just unplug it and plug it back in, then it worked...

Well I better get to my cleaning... even tho i wanna scrap.

TaTa!

Friday, October 10, 2008

oh boy...

What's next?

I thought i'd enjoy being home alone for a week... til Wednesday...

Tuesday Night: I thought my cell phone was turned off for the first time ever... I was like WHAT? can't be.... turns out i just didn't have service that night for some reason. It was fine the next morning.... weird, never happened before.

Wednesday Night: Katie broke the window, leaving blood spots all over the floor

Last Night: after 5 pm.... i had a massive headache that wouldn't go away, took med like i usually do, still hurt so bad, i went and laid down, 15 mins later i'm rushing to the bathroom and ended up throwing up like 5 times! The first time in 3 yrs! I still felt awful afterwards, i just took it easy and laid in bed and watched my movies...then at 2 am i decided to get up and get a quick internet fix.... only to find out the internet wasn't working!!! WHAT??? No internet= me not happy ( just ask my fam, they'll tell ya) After trying to work on it for 15 mins, i told myself " just go back to bed, it's just another jinx, it'll be fine and working in the morning" Sure enough it was working fine this morning ::sigh::

J needs to come home. He was supposed to come home tonite but they postponed it til tmw nite at the latest. I hope. I'm still aiming for tonight tho lol.

I'm still not feeling well at all this morning so i'm going to take it easy today. It must be some thing i ate...

But i'm still in the mood to scrap so hopefully i can do some, i was on a roll and still have more in me.

I watched Don't Mess with Zohan. It was stupid like The Love Guru but it was funnier and watchable.

Oh i'm watching Supernanny tonight. They are showing a deaf family tonite. which reminds me, i should call grandma

I forgot to post this yesterday:TaTa!

FOBTY 10/9

:sigh: i was just sitting down to eat dinner last night, and the dog was looking out her fav window, then boom i heard something. i thought the computer mouse fell, kept eating then i saw blood spots on the floor, WTH? then i walked to the window, there a hole and 2 cracks on the window. OMG! Apparently she touched the window and put too much weight on it and it broke. I was freaking out. She cut her paw and was bleeding but not much but was leaving blood spots on the floor. she didn't act like she was hurt, luckily the bleeding stopped, then i taped cardboard on the window. Oh why does this have to happen when i'm home alone for a week?? I think i jinxed myself when i told J tuesday night... " everything's fine, i don't know why i was freaking out about being home alone"

I found out that one guy lost weight (80+) just by focusing on avioding certain ingredients. Cornstrach is one of them, i will find out about what other indrgeniedents to aviod later. Also processed food is a culprit as well... That inspired me to keep losing weight. I've lost 30+ lbs since June 2007. Wow, never thought about the mumbers til now.

I watched a few movies last night while katie didn't let me sleep...
Mask: A true story about Rocky Dennis. A very touching story. Then..I watched the beginning of

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a very funny movie!! The next American Pie i tell ya I was laughing so hard. One guy on there reminds me of Sanyja from American Idol.

Ok... i will leave you with FOBTY

blah....

It's official, i've got a head cold, dang weather changing... but that didn't stop me from doing a project!
Candy Bag TopperDid it for a challenge for SPD. Plan to make more in two weeks for the kids. Surprisingly, i did this right after i got up lol.

Oh i learned something last night! i learned how to link a image! i was trying to fig that out for oh so long...

How many times do Dr. Phil has to talk about Simpson??? and again tmw, i'm skipping it tmw....

Fringe!!! That's right, my lineup is full tonight!

I think i actually like staying home alone, got a good nite's sleep.

Ok, i'm off to cross off that challenge and do some more....

TaTa!

I'm on scrapping high!

It's 1 am and i'm dreading going to bed. because j is not going to be beside me, AND i feel like i can keep scrapping and keep going if i wanted to, but i also know i'm getting tired and if i stay up any later, i'm going to get payback in the morning by feeling awful lol.

Poor dog, Katie's waiting for daddy to come home, she keeps looking out the window and looking towards the back door. I bet she'll be really confused by tmw night.

i spent my SR today! and ended up finding a new way to organize my new kits so they don't get neglected, so spent a bit of time doing that and i was inspired! I scrapped 2 pages and snapped a photo for a challenge, and like i said i can keep going...

Then i wanted to cross off the challenges i did but the darn word task program wouldn't let me copy and paste the challenges like it use to let me do... then i decided to go ahead and install MS Office which was on my to do list so long ago... ahh i got the satisfaction of crossing off the challenges and adding my points up. Then i found a new way to orangize the challenges the way i think would be easier for me to track....

Well i think i'm going to try to go to sleep

TaTa!

Sunday, October 5, 2008

Ahh!! I'm home alone!

I'm going to be home alone for a whole week for the first time ever!! lol. J is going on a work related trip and has to stay in a hotel bec the job is too far to drive back and forth. My first time experiencing this... hope the dog don't get to wild lol. What am i going to do with myself? SCRAP read, SCRAP read, clean a lil tiny bit lol.

We went on a shopping trip in wheeling today which is an hr away... we went to
-Cabelas- Candy!
-Target- I stocked up at the $1 section, scored on a great deal on a comforter for the bed and the case for my ipod (supposed to be 19.99 but only 9.99!)
Decided to just walk over to Micheal's instead of getting back in the car since i THOUGHT it was the next store BUT i mistakened it fot TJ Max and Micheals was like 3 stores over, whatever! so we ended up just walking ALL the way to all the stores and walked all the way back to the car when we were done, which was on the other side of the parking lot, we did sit down on a bench before going to the car. Then we were straving! so we ate at Applebee's

So now i'm tired, have a headache and freaking out a bit

Tmw, pics supposed to come, get to spend on SR , pay some bills, and scrap!

TaTa!

Friday, October 3, 2008

I Scored....

Shabby Pickle is having a $1 sale and i grabbed 6 kits!! Gotta go check it out!

Yesterday we turned on the heat for the first time since summer, and when J turned it on, i wasd in the other room and smell something and i thought it was fire or something, i freaked out and opened my door , oh that's just the furnace. i hate the smell of it when we turn it on after it's been a while, and it also makes me dizzy and hot/cold at first for a while, blah. I also pulled out my pajamas pants out of the closet to wear.

Didn't get alot of sleep last night, i was up til 4 am.

In other news:
-The Bailout passed- not that i undy any of it
-I heard,- that Lindsay Lohan is Bi, need to research that

Well TaTa!

Fast Food....

is too overrated for me now. When i was growing up, fast food would be like a treat to me, because didn't have it often as i'd like. Then in High School, i went to a fast food restaurant every friday, before the movies or whatever, it was a still a treat to me then. Now, not so much. I had it way too much now lol. I believe it was the culprit of my weight gain, esp McD's Fries.

My two faves back then:
McD's- Big Mac Meal
Taco Bell- 2 Double Deckers

ooo how can i forget this.... Chipotle's! When i moved to Columbus, i found chipotle's and had that all the time. When i found Chipotle's, i said move over Taco Bell, and i never ate Taco Bell again really. then i found out that they built Chipotle's over in my hometown. so i try to eat there everytime i'm there.

in final conclusion, i would say my fave is Homemade Tacos or Chipotle, Chicken taco with extra chicken, chesse, no rice

How that for a post, for a SSD Blog Challenge? lol

TaTa!

Rain, Rain, Rain

it's making me tired and want to slip back in bed... yawn.

Apparently Fringe made me have a bad dream last night. Totally weird, Bombing was included. i freaked at first.

My Spoken Reactions while watching Fringe last nite...
- "No Pacey, you can't leave, nope , no way, you are staying..."
- "Oh no! Pacey's getting hurt! You better not!"
- "NO! They CANNOT kill him off already!"
- "Whew!"
- "oooo i can see Pacey's chest, Yum!"
- "Oh there's John... aint no surprise..."

How's that for a recap? lol

I did make it to 30pts for SSD! Whew, went from 21 to 30 in one day. Note to self: Do the Shakedowns more often, they help!

Here's some LOs i did yesterday:
Well i set my self up to do a big project: Reorganize my pics, put some in a To Scrap folder and Print a whole bunch of them. So i better get on that!

TaTa!

Truthful Tuesday....

The truth is.... I like Fringe way better than Heroes. I couldn't sit and watch it last night.

The truth is... I woke up at 6:15 am which is way too early for me, and had the urge to check online... i thought, what's the freaking point? there's nada new. Still, i got up and went online for 5 mins then started to get sleepy again and went back to bed and slept peacefully lol.

The truth is... Love means alot more to me then money

The truth is... I have a hard time trusting people... hmm wonder why?

The truth is... I miss my HS life...

The truth is... i just want to be myself and laugh daily like i used to, instead of being stressed and worried all the time

The truth is.. i'm so ready for the new challenges!

TaTa!

Is it Oct 1st yet???

Because i'm DONE with September! I always feel like i can start fresh every month in the beginning then that feeling always fades by the middle of the month.

Last night i watched Color of Freedom, it was a good movie. Glad i didn't send it back w/o watching it like i almost did, bec i felt like i got a bad batch of movies this time and was going to mail them back w/o watching them. The Love Guru, on the other hand, SUCKS! lol really i don't like anything with Mike Myers in it... just not my type. Only rented it bec it was a new release and i always rent the new release no matter what.

So was watching Dr Phil.
-the mom who let her son walk in the city alone- Crazy!! i'd be freaking out!
- the moms who watch the kids every move- that's too much! How can the kids grow to be strong and confient if they are shadowed ALL the time? And ofc they will get curious and will WANT to do the things they are being sheltered from all the time. It always makes it worst!

i'm just hanging around when i should be scrapping to get up to 30 pts... i'm at 21.

Well i think i need to go eat something, fritos and bean dip!

TaTa!

Saturday, September 27, 2008

I'm late...

but i'm here now! i actually thought i would go a day without blogging but had to pop in and show off my newest project!

I was inspired by the P2D challenge and this gallery which have projects ranging from altered playing cards, ATC cards, and badge album. well my project turned out to be a combination of the 3.
The orignal idea was:
Make 2.5x3.5 digital files
Print & Cut
Run it thru the Xyron
Adhere on playing cards
Punch a Hole thru the cards and bind it with a book ring (but this is where the idea wasn't working out bec they was sticking to each other)
so i decided to put it in badge holders i just happened to have
and tie it together with a ribbon!
Tada!

this is on my Christmas to do list bec i'm sure when fam and friends see one, they will want one lol.

Not much going on... still feel blah but got a mini flat screen tv for my computer room! Now i can scrap and watch tv at the same time!

TaTa!

Friday, September 26, 2008

Some Randomness...

- It's Friday!
- SSD & SPD are changing up the challenges starting in Oct. So excited to see how they turn out.
- There's a new POTC 4 coming out soon
- There 's going to be a Taco related kit coming out tmw @ SSD!
- I really need to clean out my computer.
- I still have PMS. don't feel like doing anything, Can't even focus on my TV shows and nothing tastes right to me.
- I'm so ready for this month to be over!
- I still need 10 pts to get to 40%
- There's nada on tv bec our fave person(NOT!) is going to take over the TV tonight
- i feel really bad right now that some one had to leave without their pic CD bec my dang EHD was giving me probs, and as soon they left , the EHD finally decided to work, and i didn't carch them in time to tell them. i feel bad about it but know it's not a big deal so why am i feeling bad when i know they will get it tmw... dunno, just me i guess.

and from there i leave you with a LO i did yesterday....

FOBTY 9/25

I had a bad day yesterday so mostly i just laid in bed and watched TV all night, no scrapping done. PMS got me bad this month i guess. i'm hoping to get something done today... I have 8 unused templates, and about 11 unused kits sitting in my Recent Downloads folder, calling out to be played with... and need 12 points to get up to 40% on SSD LOL.

here is FOBTY:
21 words

Speed test



Which prob right for me, since my hands are weak and don't type the normal way, i do it my way lol.

2.5 lbs?!

That's what the scale says, the battery is low too, first it said 00 then...

Starting Weight: 145.5
Current Weight: 147.0 (+2.5!)
Goal Weight: 125

Not really trusting the scale right now since the batt's low. And Truthfully? i'm not really trying... I think i'm going to have to go do the Sparkpeople.com, drinking V8 and Drinking water gazillion times in a day and 100 cal snacks and exercise thing again to get going. And the sugar in my daily cup of coffee 's not helping either.

That's it for WLW...moving on....

Before my TV shows , i whipped up this LO.

Then i wanted to do another one, so i did, 10 mins later it was time for House... Ahhh so i stop, go start watching it, 15 mins later, i thought, i really want to finish this LO and i have no TV Breaks tonight, so i started to go to the computer on commerical breaks (no i'm not letting my lappy leave the scraproom) after the 2nd commerical, i said ahh forget it, so i finished this LO and missed House...
I got the point of the show tho, someone needed a eye transplant.

and there was no way in he** i was missing Fringe. But still felt distracted...
- anyway what was Boyles doing with that woman?
-and why she still has John Scott's body?? i'm guessing to get some info about Livvy, right?

Next was Without a Trace, which i was completely distracted the whole time, i ended up "talking" to J the whole time.

Then Biggest Loser came along with The Mentalist... AHH!
so i decided to try to watch both flipping back and forth on commericals well that didn't work, they was both on commeriacals at the same time so it stayed on Mentalist mostly.
-It was a good show
- love Simon Baker, Loved The Guardian,(but not as much as i love Pacey & DC!) sad that the show had stopped.

In my opinion, they need to move some shows on another day because my Tuesday lineup is too full, complicated, and confusing! Like on a Thursday, i'm free on Thursday,TV people! LOL

Tonight i'm going to lock myself in the bedroom and keep it on CBS (simple night) and watch
- Old Christine
- Gary Unmarried
- Criminal Minds

Well Wednesday also means new challenges at SSD! which i need to catch up on my points and have one week left to do that, so i need to get rolling!

J is just going to have to come home to a slightly messy house because i'm going to *try* to give myself a break and not clean today.

TaTa!

It is one year to this date when we welcomed Katie to our home!Here's a page with her first pic!
(Credits: Signature and alpha bits by Christina Renee
Bubble wrap by Emily Merritt
Calendar by Meredith Fenwick)

Will have to take a pic of her today and do her birthday page!

so Heroes! I'll admit that i took a 10 min power nap at the beginning, i was so tired!
- i was a bit confused so i think i'm going to have to rent the 2nd season to catch up
- Could Skylar be Peter's and Nathan's evil brother???
- Overall i think i like Fringe way better than Heroes. I couldn't focus on it. I need Pacey to keep me focused!! LOL.

After that, i watched...
- How i met your mother- (Yeah rite, like Barney going to get serious)
- Two Men & a Half- (Really did make me think he had a son LOL)
- Worst Week- (Funny and ridiculous at the same time, i thought)

That's most likely my Monday nite lineup, still need to check out My Own Worst Enemy.

Can't wait for tonight!
- House
- Fringe
- Without a Trace
- Biggest Loser and
- The Mentalist which is a conflict!!! Really want to watch it tho.

Well i already got dinner in the crockpot, Salsa Chicken. Yum and easy! and i'm going to use the leftover of that for my Homemade nachos tmw for a snack.

I think i wanna do nada and scrap today.

TaTa!

HOT Pepper!!

I think i have a bad case of PMS right now... and i'm sure J feels like he's walking on eggshells.

I found the scrapbook on my back porch, just in time. Yay! but i found 2 and half mistakes with it. I checked it 20 times and changed it a few times before ordering and still has mistakes, my mistakes, not theirs. Otherwise, i love it!

Last night for dinner we had steak, baked potato and peppers. Anyway J cooked some hot peppers with his dinner, and saw that he didn't eat all of his hot pepper. He said it was hot.

Yeah right, whatever. So i picked it up and put it in my mouth like it was nothing. At this point J's gives me a 'told you" look

AHHHHH!!

HOT!!

Throat is burning, eyes tearing up, nose is running.

TEA!!

BREAD!!

Downed two glass a tea and ate a whole slice of bread

ahh... went to the bathroom mirror and my whole face is red.

Never again.

I guess yesterday was Hybrid Sunday for me. I did a couple of projects. First one...

Displayed like this:

Lastly, i made these cut lil things w/ playdoh before bed, i let them dry


Well how's that for a crafty day?

Oh i gotta feeling that Auntie flow is coming to town any min now lol.

So my TV Lineup tonight is:
Heroes ( 3 hrs!)
Worst Week ( have to catch it at 12:30 am since it conflicts with Heroes)

Well i'm off to scrap. or read twilight. or eat. i dunno.

TaTa!

It's starting to look alot...

like Fall! Time to bust out the pumpkin delights, apple cider, apples and caramel, apple crisp and decorations!

We went to visit family before our outing yesterday and saw that they had their halloween decorations up, that inspired me!

So when i got home, i decided to make this:

and it is displayed like this:

I went though my stash and found all the Fall/Halloween Kits i have, Cropped the pp into 2x2, put an element within that kit and put on on a 8x10 file. Continue til the 8x10 is full and there you have it!

I did the same thing for Valentine's last year but whet i did that time was take the back off a 8x 10 frame and glued it on and displayed like that without the glass and frame. This time i just slipped in the frame. Easier that way.

I have 3 more projects i want to get done today, hopefully.

We also decorated the front porch a bit. a scarecrow on a stick in the flower pot, and another scarecrow on the rail. Hoping to get 2 pumpkins for the front porch...

Anyway... thanks to everyone who commented about Mac/Vista. i usually just put the file on a usb and download them from J's computer.

TaTa! oh hope you like the new look i fixed up yesterday!

Pissed off...

Ok i wasn't going to blog til later but i'm in a 'pissed off' funk and hoping writing will help me feel better. I feel unappreciated, put down and torn apart right now and want the anger come out of my body so i can be cheerful again. That's all i'm going to say. Maybe i do need to go out and go grocery shopping to calm down. Maybe there's a new issue of Real Simple to grab!

Today is the usual out to lunch, grocery shopping and deeper cleaning but i told j i'm staying home and sent him off to do it on his own. I think i'll call him after he gets done with whatever he doing.

I've started to do some Hybrid projects!
- A clock with a scrapbook page in it, ( just took it apart and glued it on the background) It's so cute! ( can't post it but will post when i make another one)
also i think i'm going to use that idea for Christmas too

- Name Magnets- in process of making them. Just came up with the idea one day... will post when it's done.

and i have alot of other projects listed too including calendars.

Also i grabbed a Blog in A Box last night and will work on it when i come home. So look out for a new look!

So Dr Phil was talking about School. Here's what i think.

- Teachers with Guns- NO. I mean i understand the purpose of keeping the kids safe, But on the other hand, what if a kid see it in a drawer and pick it up and start playing with it??- So NO

- Lowering the drinking age to 18- WTH? NO! You know how much probs that will cause? i admit my first drink was at 18 tho but it's not worth it.

Hey what's up with not being able to upzip files that has MAC files while unzipping on Vista? Anyone has this prob. I think this is just a conflict between MAC and Vista....

Well TaTa!

Friday, September 19, 2008

Friday! Friday!

What friday means for me?

Early sneak peeks @ SSD
Color Challenge
Digi Dares
SPD New Releases- LOVE Kasia!
Taco Night- Yum!
Late Night Chat
Window shopping @ 2am!

Boy does my life sound boring? lol. Sadly there's nothing on tv tonight.

The pic is okay, just peeled some of uncle hair off, i dunno how to fix that in photoshop, not my type of thing. The project is a wedding book, that just now realized i might have put the wrong date on it. Grr. oh well, i worked hard on it, i was so focused on getting it done & pretty. It was shipped last night. Hmm maybe i should check the mail sometime. Haven't checked all week hehe.

OMG! i just realized i got dressed without taking my nightgown off LOLOLOL.
Shoes & Socks- Check
Jeans- Check
Taking my nightgown off and put a shirt on- ????????

So anyway, Dr Phil was talking about parents leaving kids in the car and getting arrested yesterday. That reminded me, two months ago we went to the gas staion and a woman pulled up next to us, went into the store, leaving her two year old- ish girl in the car and the girl had a LIGHTER IN HER HAND! That was scary. The mom was only gone for 2 secs but still, I was worried, i kept a eye on the girl the whole time. CRAZY!

I can seem to get myself up to watch The Doctors at 9am. Always get up at 10am.

thought i had more to write....

When Monday comes back, the tv season will be rolling! Bring on the goodies and the conflicts!! Found this link with all the premieres:
TV Premieres

I'm planning to catch up on my websites and scrap all day and do my hour cleaning ofc.

oh, a d'oh moment, i worked hard on a LO for the P2D last night, went to upload it, only to find out that challenge was from LAST month! i like how it turned out anyway lol.

TaTa!

Well i did it! I sat on the computer 10:30- 3pm, stopping to watch Dr Phil, which was making me a bit sick with all the pills the lady took. hopefully she gets help! Anyway i finished my project and it's ordered! hopefully i'll have it in my hands by tuesday but i'm kinda doubting that. I did catch myself tidying up the kitchen after J got home, and i never clean when he's home lol. Then i came back on her to put the project together.

I was just about sick to my stomach last night. Back up, when i was @ grandma, i came across this pic of her with her brothers and sisters from the 70's and immediately wanted to have it to scan and scrap it. She let me take it home. Ok so i put it in my wallet, well i should have put it in my photo box when i got home, but i didn't. i took it out yesterday and it was behind a stupid gift card for Cabelas (only if you activate it) which still had glue on the back of it. It peeled a lil tiny bit off the pic. Grr. i was mad, i threw away the gift card, the pic is worth more then the gift card to me. well the least i can do now is scrap it. Grr. It was in perfect condition!

ok so here is FOBTY...




You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To



Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.



What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever



What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth



Yay for Kitchen Nightmares tonight! I wish they came up with a Kitchen Nightmare Game for the Wii!

Tata!

My tv party!

wasn't going to blog til later but i'll go ahead and do it now.

Last night i felt like i wasn't tired and thought oh i will go finish my project after biggest loser....zzzzzzzzz lol.

Today i plan to stay in the computer room all day and finish the project and SCRAP! do i think i can do it? no, i would be having cleaning withdrawals if i left the house alone today, we'll see...

Anyway on to the the tv party...

First i laid down on the couch and watched House



aww, Wilson resigned. i got a feeling he will come back.

Next up, i sat up and watched Fringe!!








Love this show for sure! I think it's going to be a hit for a while at least.

Couple of guesses:

- i think Peter and Olivia is going to start dating...
- i'm starting to think Peter was some kind of a experiment of his father's, according to the near end of the show. What do you think?
- And what was that at the very end??

and lastly i stayed up til 1 am and watched this...



- Nice Intro! Kinda different this time around.
- I nearly got sick at the beginning when they show all the food they ate... i couldn't do that.
- The demo on the lungs could be a wake up call for them, it was for me! Yuck! Gives me a clear pic tho
- I love the weigh ins. alot of double digits! I hate it when they go to commericals right before they show the numbers!
- I voted for the orange team to go but the green team got voted off. They looked great at the end!

Ok how's that for a tv party post. most likely this will be my schedule on tuesdays, hopefull i can stay up til 1 most tuesdays.

One more thing i want to add..




Tata!

** i konw the pics are messed up, i tried to fix it but gave up lol

Truthful Tuesday....

So i watched Dr Phil at 7pm last night (thanks to direct tv) and it was closed captioned! I dunno wat happened but hope that's not the case again today grr.

So i finally got started on my project! i'm really motivated to get it done. And i want it done soon so i can catch up on my points, that's like another whole project! I should be done with it tonight, i hope.

I'm thinking about redoing my blog soon with Blog in a Box! Just hope i stay motivated to blog.

ok moving on to truthful tuesday. Since i don't have one thing to talk about, i'm going to list a few things i discovered lately...

1. I must have ketchup with homemade fries. yesterday was like the second time we made fries and realized we didn't have ketchup. Grr.

2. I hate it when ppl let their cig hang off their lips and talk.

3. I wish my hair was straight, not frizzy & wavy at the bottom

4. I'm a Flybaby, but the emails and text msgs were ANNOYING. so i unsubscribed from them. I do just fine with the website, forum and printed reference.

I think that's it!

Oh and the TV is MINE tonight!! Here's my lineup:
Biggest Loser
House
Fringe- Pacey!!!
and ofc they are on all at the same time, but going to watch House and Fringe @ the reg time and Biggest Loser @ midnight (again, thanks to Direct TV!) Just hope i can stay up!

umm i'm thinking about BBQ Beefcups tonight for dinner and lunch for tmw...

TaTa for now!

Burnt Nachos and No Closed Captioning...

So i'm actually blogging on on my Dr Phil time. Why, you ask? Well that's next...

right now i'm going to talk about my experiment today. I was inspired from the game Order up and the fact i didn't have scoops to eat with salsa, to make homemade nachos... Well the nachos were like this:






BURNT!

But the top part was yummy! and the nachos was replaced with this to dip with:








It was so good and it filled me up! Just need to use store bought nacho chips next time! lol.

Here what i did:
i cut up corn wraps in triangles, put them on a cookie sheet, salt, cooking spray and baked at 350 for 15 mins ( but will replace with store bought chips)

Layer the the chips in the bottom of the baking pan
Add beans, corn & salsa mix (left over from Salsa Chicken, another recipe)
Add more salsa
Add Taco Cheese

Stick it back in the oven for 10 mins or til the chesse melts

Yum!

here's the original recipe i got the idea from:
Home Made Nachos

I just switched it up some and used what i had on hand, and suggest store bought nachos ofc lol.

After that, i sat down to watch Dr Phil and it wouldn't closed caption right! Would not get past the first line. Sigh. So there's no point to sit there and watch it without knowing wth going on lol. I even changed the channel to see if the other shows were fine. Yep! Just Dr. Phil has that problem. I remember that happening at grandma's too and i had to switch it to the other local channel he was on and watch it with CC. I dunno if it's the channel itself or Dr. Phil lol. But...

Dear Dr. Phil,
I going to watch your show again at 7. Hopefully the CC will magically appear. If not, you got one upset viewer.

Thanks!

LOL.

-End of Vent-

oh, i'm totally putting putting off my project!

TaTa!

Why did i have that mountain dew??

well i stood outside for 3 hrs watching the oil festival parade in the front yard. actually the beginning of it, you know, where they start to go into town... Took some pics of some cool things that i saw. Boy it was hot!

Then we went on a much needed grocery trip and Mcdoanlds. I found myself picking at J's Chicken Nuggets along with my Big Mac. Dunno why, was so hungry!

After i got home, i had to lay in bed and shut my eyes for 20 mins, i was so tired. and i'm not a nap person. it's very rare for me to just fall asleep during the day lol.

oh why did i have that mountain dew? now i feel bloated.

Well i'm going to go.. i'm watching What Happens in Vegas

Ta ta!

Tired....

Well i didn't get any sleep last night. Even tho the last two nights before that i got really good sleep. Today i'm feeling blah. I blame it on the dog since she has to be in bed with us lol. Still got myself up at 9am to watch The Doctors. I notice if i sleep any later than that, i feel awful the whole day.

I told myself i was going to scrap all day today and catch up on challenges, well i got sucked into the Wii today, which is good because i don't play much. I got a new game Sunday, Order Up. So i've been playing that. It's addictive!! My review: Double thumbs up!

I also watched Baby's Mama from netflix last night. It was pretty good. Even J watched it and laughed.

I also cleaned a lil today, once i start cleaning can't stop til i feel satisfied. It's the flybaby in me lol.

well i'm going to go. Ta ta for now!

Ramblings, WLW, FOBTY. 9/11

Ok i meant to blog on monday about my trip home, then i meant to blog tuesday for truthful tuesday, then wednesday i wanted to blog for my weight loss thing i was going to start. however, i didn't do any of them lol so i'm going to catch up...

Monday:
I came home from my two week stay in my hometown on Sunday. WOW! it was the busiest two weeks I ever had since I've been taking two weeks stay over there though out the year. Alot of fun, photos, running around and also a lot of STRESS! I only stayed home 2 full days, the rest i was on the GO GO GO! the stress part, well the first was having to go the the bank and get the debit card cleared up, no big deal. (even tho i struggled with the problem for over a month but the next problem will top that) Well a certain family member decided to trade the ipod i gave them a while back for something worthless. After they BEGGGGED me for a year for it, i finally gave in and gave to them. (I'm a type of person who cherish the things i have and never give away those kind of things) Well this had the family upset. I wouldn't talk to this person (and still not) This was the first week i was there. As we were hoping the second week would be unstressful, not so much. another certain family member stole my purse camera. Sigh. After i gave them pics, a bag of my old jeans, and my grandma had just let them back in the house after 2 months of not talking to each other and not allowing them in the house. For what? stealing. yep. Within 3 days, they stole my camera. Well I'm just glad it wasn't my wallet, my DSLR, or my lappy There would be BIG trouble if that happened. Also i'm glad i had a habit of uploading the new pics every night to the lappy ( which i hardly do) or the pics would be gone too. Unfortunately i didn't think to delete them off the card so there are still pics on it. I don't think my family is going to let them back in the house now. My grandma was trying to give them a place to go to, but they ruined it.

Besides all the stress, there was alot fun and running around. Now that i'm home i trying to switch back from the teenager mode to housewifey mode LOL

Tuesday...
For truthful Tuesday I was going to say... I hate j's mouse! It drains out the battery ALL the freaking time! LOL

Wednesday...
I'm to (try to) start Weight Loss Wednesday. Dr Phil is starting a series on that, also Biggest Loser is starting next week too! Love that show! so here's my status:

Current Weight: 145.5
Goal Weight: 125

Thursday...
FOBTY:



You Are 66% Real



You know who you are, and you're pretty darn comfortable with yourself.

Like everyone, you struggle with the parts of yourself that aren't so great...

But you're good at accepting who you are and not dwelling on your faults.

As a result, you're confident, optimistic, and very real.



Edited to Add: So where was i during 9/11? I was on a field trip at a daycare for my ECE class in high school. I remember my teacher came in shocked. on the way back to the school there was a lot of talking and commotion going on. being deaf, i didn't know what was going on til i got back to the school and saw it on TV, and the interpreter was relaying everything. The families of lost loved ones and the people that was affected are in my thoughts today

Well it seems like i used up my hour doing this lol. Hoping to get some pages done today! Haven't done any this month yet.

Pls leave a comment and let me know you were here!

FOBTY 8/21




You Were the Slacker Kid



High school was a place you showed up occasionally, but you didn't really leave a mark.



You hated rules, authority, and structure. In fact, you still do.

Who Were You In High School?

Wha.. that wasn't me at all lol... Here's my version of the quiz..

Fave class: ASL

Worst Memory: When i got supended (along with 2 other friends) for thowing a girl's makeup bag in the trash can in the staff bathroom. Wha.. the girl called me crippled

I would have a better time if: i took it more serious (that was right)

#1 thing i got out of High School: My HS Sweetheart ( that was right)

The clique i hated: the snobby ones ( The cliques was very obvious! lol)

I went to school everyday, never really skipped and pretty much was a rule follower, only got 1 or 2 detentions( and suspended one time) thoughout the whole 12 yrs. I was pretty much a 'good girl'. Now homework... that's a diffrent story hehe

FOBTY 8/14

Well, considering that i'm deaf, most of the words sounds the same to me (or look the same while i read lips.)


What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

The West
The Midland
The South
Boston
The Inland North

On average, 276 of users who took the quiz gave 11.52 right answers.

Wha.... i should know more than that! Love that movie! I remember the first time i watched that movie in middle school in the classroom. I was actually surprised they let us watch it at school, it was my first time watching that kind of movie, felt naughty watching it i guess lol. I was hooked on Grease since then... but apparently i need to watch it again since i got most of the questions wrong! Off to my Netflix i go.... ok i'm rambling.

You're not overly political, and your views fall more with the American mainstream.

Your approach to politics is reasoned and well though out.
