Friday

Wednesday... the fun begins
I ran off with Laurie in her car, I forgot that I had locked the back door, until later... had lunch at Olive Garden, went to home depot to buy potting soil and flowers to put on Rascal's grave. My ferret that passed away last wed. Then Laurie gets a call from her son... he doesn't leave a message and neither of us heard the phone ring. So she freaks, just like I do! And we drive by the school while she is calling him on his cell phone, he is 14. He doesn't answer his cell or the home phone, and he is not at school. So here's the thought running through her brain, He better not have started walking home and gotten hit by a car, I'll kill him! (My sentiments exactly!) Finally we are almost at my house when he finally answers the home phone. I was upstairs playing games. Meanwhile.... Thomas had gotten home to find my car home, all the doors locked and no one answering the door!! When we drove up, he pointed at me, looking very relieved that I was there and said, I thought you had passed out, died in the house or something you scared me half to death!!! Next time leave a note!!!

Then he let me know something was wrong with Chelsea our pekingese, she stays in the backyard with the other dogs. So I checked on her and took her to the vet the same day. They kept her overnight and scheduled her for surgery Thurs. am. She had a tumor on her belly about the size of a grapefruit! I was amazed, it could grow so quickly! So she had surgery Thurs and is fine exept for having tested positive for heartworms. Bummer I wished they had told me before the surgery. My husband didn't want to spend the 250.o0 for the surgery much less spend it if she was gonna pass away anyhow... But anyway she looks happy to be in the house and she has to stay inside for at least 10 days. Which makes hubby grouchy.

Friday
Me and my friend Laurie went out errand running this morning. To the Bank, Olive Garden...because of a double charge item, and Office Depot and then Wally World for some grocery shopping. We then went back to my house and she put her stuff in her car and I put my stuff in my house and we said goodbye for the day. My feet were very tired and we both have some allergies trying to overtake us.

After she left... the fun began!

1. Looked at phone to see if anyone called the house, ahhhhh Tommy called ...wonder why, so I called him. He's sitting in line at school to pick up Thomas. He called his dad's #. Of course, the school called the house 3 times but I was gone. They have my number... blink blink! Thomas did not realize the school has my cell # written down, but now he does. ....Tommy called my cell at 2:16 ok, I was either still at Wally World or had my purse inside the house and was unpacking groceries.

2. Tommy smashed his middle finger REAL good with the hammer at work around 9 am. I said, you should have gone to the doctor, he thinks so too, but no one else on job knows what they are doing so he has to be there to supervise and tell everyone else what to do.

3. Met Tommy at Lobrados restaurant near Oak Run to pick up Thomas so Tommy can go back to work.

4. Thomas took some sinus meds that were in the car... so started feeling better so went back to Wally World to get a no trespassing sign. Found 1! So got it. Saw a shelf for 26.00 4shelves. So got it too for the laundry room. Thomas helped put it in cart and we left.

5. Went to put the sticks I got for the back of the sign on it.... thought it was going pretty good, then I flipped it over and said oh sh*** ...then said, Thomas your mom is getting really tired. Sign was upside down ....lol how funny looking back on that.
So I decided to nail the sign to the tree. That worked. Then found rope in tree in front yard, started pulling on it cause it was stuck in a crevice ... fire ants came running onto the rope very quickly. Are you laughing at me??!! Obviously I let go of the rope. And then went to shed to try and find another rope, Thomas helped me look. No such luck there so went back to first rope. Finished yanking it out of tree. Layed it on the ground and shook it a little, to let the ants find there way to the grass. So tied rope to the two sticks I bought for sign, (that didn't work out for me) and stretched it out as far as it would go as a block for the cars that were parking in our grass and under our trees, I guess for the shade. Since they have no trees in their yard. But it was getting ridiculous, 1st one car, then two and yesterday there were 3 big vehicles in our grass under our trees. I think adults should automatically know better. But I guess not. So Tommy said, that fence is going up this weekend! Well, I surely hope so. We've been wanting that fence up for over 2 years now.

I tried to start supper and my feet were screaming at me!! So I decided to give up on that and get Kentucky Fried Chicken. So I called Tommy and let him know my plans. He said to meet him in the Wally World parking lot and write out payroll so he can take his employee home. So I did. And then got chicken went home. blah blah blah

And this was just my afternoon.....

I hope your afternoon was very uneventful.

Huggies (lol)

Here's a set of papers I made quite a while ago, I decided to make them a paper set and give them away as a sample. Click on the picture. Send your friends to my site for their free sample. Enjoy.

Sept. 10, 2007 Time sure flies. I just finished making a template, my first ever. I needed a way to make my own color swatches, so I made a template to help me out. Uploading now to 4shared.com. Color Swatch template

Have started buying decorations for the party! I just hope I don't live to regret it! I have had parties before and they were more work than I anticipated. Won't that be fun! Now if I can just get my family on board with helping me... seems like an impossible task? Maybe so. I don't know. But I plan on putting all the little pets on the back porch for the event several days in advance. Let's see, I have one ferret now, one passed away this past week. I have one chameleon lizard, one love-bird, one cockatiel , and one sugar-glider. And I have to put the 'devil-dog' somewhere in the back bedrooms, maybe... My son calls Pebbles the devil-dog but others call BamBam the devil-dog... he will not stop barking at people. Guess I could use a dog whisperer. LOL

Back to School Week

Hi ya'll, it's back to school week here in our town. My son started Monday, and it's hard to get used to the strange hours. It really seems like hours in the day are missing. Wondered where all that time went all of a sudden. School begins at 7:45 he has to be there 7:30am. Gets out 2:45pm. Been doing a lot of house-cleaning. Need to finish some of that housework and work on some new layouts for my Creative Teams. I have ideas for freebies, or what I like to call samples. Maybe by Christmas time I'll be designing? Sounds like a plan...

I have been thinking about having an old-fashioned All Hallows Eve party. My friend, Laurie likes that idea and she most likely will be accompanying me on my endeavors. Hahaha, evil laugh commencing. She's real good at poetry. She'll be putting together all her poems to make a book. I can hardly wait, I get a signed copy! Woohoo! I have to finish some layouts and get my son off to bed.... So see ya later gators!

Hey, I got those DVD's I was looking for when I got back from Padre Island! Woohoo! Six DVD's full of kits etc. I got the whole store instead of just the page kits. How awesome is that? I was so excited. Just to catch you up... I won the Ultimate Scrapper Challenge at GottaPixel. I did 58 layouts for the challenge. At first I couldn't believe I won! And the day before I got a fortune cookie that said, 'Among the lucky, you are the Chosen One'! How cool is that? I scrapped it. I got two screen shots and scrapped both.







About my trip... I took my laptop with me to work on my layouts if I got bored. Yep, got bored at night in room only one TV. Well, guess what... forgot to pack the power cord! Then I thought maybe I can buy one and still use it. Just for the converter it was $150.00 and the part to hook it from the computer to the converter was not included. WOW. So I didn't bother with that. Well, then... I took a lot of pictures and figured out when my memory was full, I remembered I could not download them, no power cord. So I bought some extra memory for my camera, it was cheaper than the power cord.


Strange goings on lately. I hear reports of gremlins from all over! Air conditioning units in cars and houses going out. Cars breaking down. Someone stole my husbands wallet! Found out it was his new employee. He's on the run, cause he also stole a car. It was really fishy that every weekend since he has been in town, he's ended up in jail. Every weekend! Unbelievable!


Today
Went to bookstore today with my friend, Laurie. These are the books I brought home.


1. Gifts for the Cookie Jar

2. Hairstyles of the World

3. Projects for Pets

4. Heavenly Chocolate Recipes

5.American Sign Language

6.Design Source Book for Crafters

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think... thanks!

Why Mona Lisa smiles today...

Just booked the weekend at a hotel on South Padre Island. Woohoo .... relaxation. First get-a-way all summer. Hopefully it won't rain, but hey if it does... I will take pictures! It's got an indoor heated pool. It's near the beach too. Thursday thru Sunday, back to work on Monday.

I'm hoping my Ultimate Scrapper Challenge winnings from Gotta Pixel will be waiting in the mail when I get back. I won June 31, 2007. It's Aug 8 and the package is still a no show. I have notified her. And she mailed out a duplicate July 31. Of course with her apologies for it not showing up yet. The postman "Bob" told me it probably got destroyed in the mail, cause it should not have taken this long. Hey, cross your fingers and toes for me!

I need to start packing for the trip. I'm looking forward to not cooking! Hopefully I won't gain back any of the weight I have lost since dieting. Yep I've lost 18 lbs. I'm on the Kimkim's diet.
Colleen has this great offer...
