Weekends, payday and just plain crap

Hi! How much do I look forward to the week-end? A whole hell of a lot I do. And it was payday..or as I say payout day..when it all goes back out.But heck it does feel good to have it, if only for a little bit! I swear it is getting harder and harder every day to make it. Gotta get my taxes done, so that I can try to get out of this awful hole. I am so depressed about this all now..but enough of Debbie downer and on with the blog. I have been feeling a little mojo this week and doing some scrapping. I finished a lo with Isabel's new kit "Always" and a lo with Sharia Braxton's new kit
"Note to self" and wow were these fun kits to work with!


It feel good to be creative and makes me forget some of the shit that goes on around me. Today I woke up to a very cold house..and damn-it my furnace is clicking on. THere is no way in hell I am going to call a repair man today and have the cost of a sunday repair bill. Got the space heater out and am cooking a turkey to keep the house warm. Tonight it won't be bad, since gee I am lucky to have 6 fur babies sleeping with me!
Peace out all and have a great week

A winter week

Hello!
I missed about a week here, but not much too exciting going on. We got hit with snow on Friday and it was just lovely. The good thing was we got to leave work early and on a Friday that is a perk!
Tiff got the girls bundled up and took them out for their first "snow adventure" Friday. They liked the sled ride but the adventure ended when their faces were getting pretty pink and Hailey got upset since there was snow on her gloves! LOL Damn those girls are so darn cute. Here is my version of the little Snow Chics.
I used Bella Gypsy Designs "Snow BIrds" (hmm got the title idea) and a little bit of Angie Kovas Snow Girly for this one.

As yesterday was Valentines Day I did do a lo in honor of those romantic things ya know..the things that I have been lacking lately...no Valentine for me this year..but David and I did go out for Pizza...does that count? I started this layout for what would have been my parents 62nd wedding anniversary and just got to emotional to do it, so I used pictures from Tiff and Brian's wedding. Worked good for me.
I used Sherri Tierney's kit, Art from the Heart" at www.elementalscraps.com. Had a lot fun with this one too.

Peace out

Project 365

Hello
I had made some more accomplihsment this weekend. no..not housework...but I did my first 2 weeks pages for the 365 Project! I think I am really going to get into doing this. Going to try to do different themes for each week unless I have a event or something and I am making very very simple. Simple is good cuz simple gets done quick.
The weather has been totally glorioius the last two days. We broke records of 60+ and I even had my windows open for awhile to get the winter stench out of the house! LOL
The cats were in heaven sleeping in the windows and the the dogs ran around the yard like it was a race track. It was good and good for the mood too. I am going to take in every minute of it since they are calling for an artic front coming in with SNOW next week. Damn it anyhow! I guess mother nature is just teasing us a little, but that is ok with me. Makes me have some hope that spring will be here someday! gonna share my first two weeks with you and don't mind some of the silly pictures..that is my life!
Peace out

Its A wonderful Friday~!

It is Friday and the best part of that is that I am sitting right here in front of my computer at home! How cool is that. I could so go for working a 32 hour week if I didn't live paycheck to paycheck. {sigh} I guess I should be careful what I wish for..we were so slow today at work that the boss drew names to see who could have the day off and I won!!! Cool huh? Just hope this isn't a sign of what could be coming though. We have been pretty slow and that is pretty scary with the state of the country right now. Geesh you would think that nursing would have job security huh? Well not going to let worrying about that ruin this day. We are to have record breaking warm temps today (next week Arctic front and snow) and I plan on getting some other things that have been procrastinating on done. Got to get my estimate on my car so I can try to figure out how to come up with the $$ to get it fixed. Damn Deer any how. It should be warm enough that I can spray paint a couple of flea market bird cages that I got last year and maybe even take a nap?? will try to get some kind of cleaning in there too.
Sometimes doesn't your cre8tive juices sometimes just go wild. I did a lo last night with this very cute Mini Kit "Monsters" at http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/product.php?productid=20952&cat=0&page=1. It is for their inspiration challenge and is a freebie now. Join the fun. It is awesome.
Gotta get rolling and get the most of this day!
Peace out

Only Tuesday

Give me some sun and a trip to Jamaica. Still I am on my desperate desire to go to Jamaica. I want Island Time, sun, beach and good looking men. {sigh}
I am already at work, braving the single digit numbers this morning and getting more out of tune with myself. Damn does winter suck or what. I did bring my camera today and hopefully I can get some shot for the 365 challenge. Maybe that will inspire me!
Peace OUt

I need Change

It is Monday and it is blah..I am getting sick of winter is a very quick way. Today it was actually 30+ and felt almost tropical. I have been missing taking my walks during lunch at work so today I started hoofing it around and realized after a few minutes, it was ok walking south..but when I headed back that damn wind was cold. but all in all it felt good. I have this winter routine, come home feed the dogs, get into my flannels ( yes flannels..I am old) and either sit in front of tube or the computer til it is time to go to bed. now this is lazy, but I have no motivation when it is cold out and I do like being "cozy". But I am feeling the need for some "change" in my life. Wish I could go to Jamaica..that would be a dream come true for me. oh shit, if wishes were fishes..maybe I will come up with some crazy idea to enhance my life. Shit I was thinking about a Valentine for a day?? Hmmm..that might be fun. now I am thinking too much.
I did a lo with Kami's new Happiness Kit which is available at www.acherryontop.com and it is my Hero David. Love the blues with his blue yes.
Peace out
