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!

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

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are not a particularly modest person. You're proud of who you are, and you don't care who knows it. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible. You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it. You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask. You can be a big dramatic and over the top sometimes. You are bold in every way

The Ice Cream Personality Test

YEP! that's so me! Describes me perfectly

TaTa!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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....
Credits are here

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.

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!

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! 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!

Grr...

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

Could You Be a Vampire?

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

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.

How Real Are You?

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!

For the 15th time or so....

Yep i'm starting a new blog again.... Lori got me movatied to blog since she started again lol. I thought sure why not, since i started A Picture a Day. Might not write daily, but will try to keep this updated daily with the photos and pages. Here are two pages from last night: Images are clickable.









And also... for the SDD Blog Challenge:
The challenge was to pick out your favorite challenge at SDD. I would say Pop Rocks is one i like the most. The challenges are things i'ld never think of to scrap. Other challenges are Spin a Lift and Treat of the Month. Here's a page i did for Pop Rocks a while back:



















Alright, i'm going to get off of here and do at least two house chores before i get on the computer again :)
