Happy In Da House

Went over to Ang's today and had ourselves a little photo shoot. I found this frame on clearance for 9 bucks!! (originally $60!) We played around a bit with it. Kind of fun. This picture is one of my favorites. Which one do you like better? The color or the sepia. I am lovin' the color but feeling the sepia also. More cuties pictures to come..... ;0)The doctor didn't get the test results back. No news. Should hear something tomorrow. Must say that Shawn noticed a HU-MUNG-OUS bruise on my arm where they drew the blood. Kind of shocking crazy bruise!

Picked up the new Scrapbook Trends magazine at Michael's with the 40% off coupon. I have been totally diggin' that magazine. But really, who am I kiddin' I love almost ALL of the sb mags.

Who is INTERESTED in a photo challenge? Anyone? Anyone?

I probably need to go. Family is needing some TLC and I am wanting to find some 'me' time. Great big hugs going out. m

My Happy for today: Laughing out loud with an incredible girlie that has the coolest walls.

Just a quickie....

Went to the doctor today...feeling better. Will know more tomorrow.

Picked up a half shift at the hospital tonight so I am off to do that. Good times. ;0) Actually just need the money. Ya know, for my scrapbooking addiction and college, and school clothes for a teenager, and Webkinz for the addicted son, and for the axil Shawn needs for his trailer......the list goes on.

Sending out hugs and happiness, even for those people that don't "need" happy...I am still sending it.

My Happy for today: Having that opportunity to pick up a half shift.

Some Sunday Stuff

1. I am thinking that Sunday came too fast. It seems like I have a running list of things that I would like to have done but I mismanage my time and the days fly by without getting what I want done accomplished. [[[big sigh]]]

2. Have trouble uploading some of my layouts to my gallery at sb.com. I am needing to resize them and haven't figured out how to do that. Need to work on that. But until then here are a couple. The one of Bai did not turen out the way that I wanted it to at all but it is one of those layouts that you just have to let go and move on. I think that the shadowed picture threw it all out of whack...oh well, you win some you lose some and the moment is still captured. The one of Mason turned out better although it isn't the greatest of pictures for you. Sorry about that. I don't seem to have the energy to redo it.

3. Yesterday we took the kids shopping for some school clothes. We actually found some blue jeans for Bai in our price range and ones that she loved!!! It was a good day!! After the shopping we went go cart riding. Let me tell you that MOM IS THE CHAMP! With my head full of sinus pressure causing really bad headaches I still beat the ol' family, much to Shawn's dismay. Although I will admit that the first race was the luck of seating...but let it be known that I held that first place! ;0)

4. Going to the doctor tomorrow. Let's see if she can get me straightened out.

5. Recieved my statistics grade.....a B!!! Cannot flippin' believe that one, but it is what she put in. Now all I have is one more math class and I will NEVER have to take another math class again for the rest of my life. Oh yeah - that totally rocks.

6. Working on some home improvement around the house. Finally. Just hoping that projects get DONE. We seem to have tons of intentions, and great ideas, but sometimes the completion process gets lost. I cannot even begin to tell you all of the unfinished stuff we have around here. Is it just us? Or is that a common thing I wonder?

7. Again I must say ->->-> GO CUBS GO!!!

8. Wondering if Shannon received her corn monkeys?

OK, my lists of things to do is calling me and it is time to take some more more medicine.

My Happy for today: The Cubies winning...again.

Short and Sweet

Headache.
Don't really get them all that often but the sinuses are full.
I know, nice picture for ya, huh?
;0)
Physically feeling bleck,
emotionally feeling better.
Going to the doctor on Monday.
Maybe she will be able to tell me if this is stress or something more.
Weight Watchers this morning...up 0.8 pounds.
Not too bad considering how lousy I have been doing with exercise and food choices.
My sweet BFF is rockin' the Weight Watchers.
So proud of her.
I am recommitted.
Again.
New outlook on this change.
Like these short sentences.
Kind of like me blurting.
Fun.
Jotting down the thoughts of the day.
Sending out positive thoughts and hugs. m

My Happy for today: The walk with BFF...a.

Me thinks Me is emotional....

One of those days.
Again.
Can't figure out if it is the stress,
or the week,
or the blahs.
Whatever it is....it stinks.
My throat is sore.
Think it is the black plague.
Kidding.
I am irritable.
Thank you to my BFF...A for listening.
Looking forward to seeing you in the morn.
Hope who ever reads this is having a good day.
I am going to go meditate,
for a better tomorrow,
with less stress,
and no sore throat,
and a 2 pound weight loss,
and scrappin' time,
and smiles.
Hugs. m

My Happy for today: All of Shawn's hard work. I am also happy for my family and friend putting up with my .... stuff. Loves to you.

Flower and Scrapbook Power

These may not look like much right now. In fact they are looking kind of droopy - Shawn assures me that they will be fine once they adjust to their new home. We also 'misguessed' our count as to how many plants we need so we have to go back and buy a few more to fill in. BUT the point is that we are DOING, getting some things done around the house that we have been talking about for.....ummmmm......FOREVER!!!!This here little pot of happy replaced the tequila sunrise flowers that Bai and Shawn had picked out for Mother's Day. I accidently killed them. ->->-> I swear to you that I have two brown thumbs. My intentions are great, and my vision of flowers and plants in my home is beautiful, but alas.....I haven't mastered the art.Now for the scrapbook power.....hello!!!!!! Some Elsie Flannigan product half off last week from HL. Cannot beat that. Right? I am not a HUGE Elsis fan, but this stuff just made me smile. I am thinking that it might just make its way into a certain Bond Girls journal........hehehehe. And the fiber - a super uber good deal. Regularly 6.99 and I got it for 88 cents!!! It matches the Elsie stuff awesomely and it is sooooo soft. Love it!For the grand finally of scrapbook power I would like to introduce you to my new (40% off I might add) Amy Butler K&C bag! I think I will call her Gilda. LOL!! OK, now you are thinking I am really off of my rocker for naming my bag, right? But no that is not the case....well, it might be the case....but people name paper lines and scrapbook product. Why not name your sb bag? Besides that IT FITS. ;0) Oh, and I really got a twofer with the bags because since I had two 40% off coupons and Shawn went into town I was able to pick up the other sb bag that I have been wanting (Shawn bought one with a coupon and I picked up the other with the second coupon...WHOOT WHOOT). Shawn wanted to know why I would need two sb bags.....and well, I didn't have an answer because I don't need two. But a girl can never have too many bags, right? So that is about it. Went into town, spent too much money on some flowers for our yard, sold my AMM bag to buy my new sb bags, and have done a butt-load of homework. Thank gawd that this is the last week for the summer semester. I have about had my fill of schooling and I need a break.

I am soo glad that Donna is home from vaca and I am having Ang withdrawals.

That is about it for now. Have bunches that I want to share but I need to go spend some time with Shawn because he keeps sighing at me. Now he is talking to the dog about needing some TLC would Booda cuddle with him......he is such a dork. A cute, annoying, dorky, hunky hubby and he is mine. Hugs to you all. m

My happy for today: Gilda and the scrap locker bag and the plants and the phone call from Donna and talking to Ang on the phone.

Go Cubs Go !

Heck YES!!!
