Catching Up

Image
By
I started catching up on my "blog reading," and, boy, I've missed A LOT! I decided to take up Samantha's L.O.A.D. challenge (one layout per day). Luckily, I've done three this week. Tonight makes number four. That means I have to whip up three layouts tomorrow.

I could do a layout about my attempts (emphasis on attempts) at gardening, my latest quilting project, our cat's injury ... and I still have to finish our vacation last weekend. I'd better get busy! I also am very intrigued by Ronalyn's "Year.in.Review" Album, so I think I will do it. What a great way to recap all the big and little events in a very easy format.

I think I'm finally recovering from the holidays and all the construction mayhem. I feel like myself now (as opposed to a very apathetic robot, which is how I've felt for several weeks).

This is the layout I created tonight. Basically, more of the same. It's just so much faster when I stick to the same format. This is my first "Sunday" page. It was so fun to watch them play in the snow and remember when I felt as exuberant about the snow as they did :)

I recorded "Pretty Woman" and now I'm off to watch it. It's been soooo long since I've watched a chick flick. Ta ta, y'all!

Well Carmela, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm putting my particpation in LOAD on hold... uptil April! I've got more projects than I can count right now(including Noah's announcments, FOUR gift albums, and several small sewing projects for friends)! Eek! If you want to wait until April (I'll be gone for half of March) and do it with me, you can, if not, I'll be dropping by your blog daily to see what you've been up to! :)

No, I think I'll do it now, and if I find that it's too much, I'll quit until April, lol! :)

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
