Well Well

Man this week has just flown by, I haven't had no me time! It has so busy at work so tonight I'm taking some time to catch up at my favorite places to visit.
And I must watch Big Brother tonight.
I have a long weekend cause of the holiday. I do have to work tomorrow but I will be out by 1....yeah.

So do you all have some great plans this weekend. So far I'm playing it by ear. I'm sure DH and I will find some fun things to do. I really do want to go see hairspray and maybe hit the Ren festival.
And
Don't forget to hang your flag. Our flag is out for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day and I should say it has been out a lot more since 911.
Hope everyone has a nice safe weekend. Enjoy it, seems like after Labor Day the summer is gone.

Seasons and Sunday

Well today it is just beautiful out, nice, sunny, no rain and low humidity. It was wicked around here the last few day, way too many thunderstorms. A town near us was hit by a tornado and they may not have power for 5 days. I feel so bad for them. One of my managers lost both vehicles and had quite a bit a damage to her house. They are ID'ing anyone who wants to leave or go into the city, they don't want people just lurking around. Lots of Hugs to them.

What is your favorite season? I can not pick just one , I like each one for different reasons. I love fall with all the changes and the smells. Like to put on that favorite sweatshirt you haven't worn in a while. Spring is so nice when you can get all the planting done and seeing all the flowers pop up. Summer I like if it is not to hot, but I love to be comfy in shorts and not having to so many layers. Winter love the snow hate the ice but then again I hate when the snow gets dirty and looks yucky.

I can say I feel much better and my aches and pains are gone! Now I just must follow my WW again 100%. I hate when I get off track, it shows Grrrr
Lately I have been in a scrappy mood, so I think I will be doing a layout or two today.

This week will be a busy one, our company bought out another small company and myself with 10 of my managers are all going to another district to help open 2 of the stores we bought and make them Sally stores. So we will reset the entire store and put up about 800 boxes of shipment. And did I say we volunteered LOL.

Enough rambling today - have a super day everyone!

Tears Thursday

Are you a crier? When someone else cries I cry, I'm not much of a crier but I do cry at happy things like weddings, sweet things and yes sad things, just not often. But today I feel like a good cry but for no reason. Work is good, home is good so its just a weird feeling. WHY????
Maybe is just all the sad news with animal cruelty, floods everywhere, heat everywhere and shootings in our town are terrible lately. Also a 12 yr old girl riding her horse was hit by a drunk driver who left the scene. Its been a month and he has not been charged. WHY???? She was killed. I can not imagine loosing a child.
Well enough sobbing for me. Tomorrow will be a much better thought. I'm off to make my list for tomorrow and I get to see my friend Shirley.
I worked with Shirley for years, she is 80years old and her kids and grandkids never visit or help her out. So tomorrow is our dinner day. She always makes me laugh. She is quite loud for a 4'10 80 pound lady. LOL
Have a super night.

What a Wednesday

Today was a stressful day at work, my manager worked her butt off trying to get this school account and she finally got it after 4 months of trying! At first they said yes and so we order enough items for about 200 kits at a few hundred bucks each, so the backroom is packed. Well today they changed their mind and after a bunch a back and forth conversations they got them. YEAH!!!
Now tonight I have to some how type out an invoice for them, (long story but we can not give them a receipt rung thru the register)
But I'm glad the talk is over, now we just have to pack them all.

Also our news is filled with so much animal cruelty, what the heck are these people thinking, if you don't want a pet it is simple JUST DON'T GET ONE, of you don't like pets DON'T HURT SOMEONE ELSE'S PET. There have been dog fights, cats put into freezers and dogs shot. It is so sad, I have a fur baby and he is just like a kid to me. And I'm so mad at one of our neighbors that has a lady that visits every few weeks and spends the night, she leaves her dogs in her van all day and night. Next time I see this I'm making a call.

On a happy note I'm alive and well and actually had a pretty good day.
Off for now have a great night.

Rainy Monday

Today was cold and rainy, we needed the rain but it can stop now. Don't you hate going back to work after a week off. Man I tried to play catch up today but it didn't work. But worked my behind off doing other things.
I did do a bit of creating yesterday, finished my ATC cards, hope the girls like them. Now I need to organize and somehow figure a way to get all my chipboard they way I want/need it.
Other than that I'm pretty boring today. So I'm off.

Rainy Day Sunday

Yesterday was a bit of a lazy day, today I hope to get more done. Today is the last day of my vacation and need to use this day wisely, and get a couple of things done.
Dh may go out shopping and use his birthday gc's and that will give me some me time. I was bumming for him (he says no big deal) but no one from is side of the family sent him a birthday card or even called him. His sister did call and ask him to go let her dog out but didn't say anything, she must have forgotten. Geez he has a friend in Australia that he chats with and he even called to say Happy Birthday. So weird how everyone is different. I try to remember to send everyone on both sides a card by email, postal or even a telephone call. But that is just me.
Which now reminds me....I have been one of those persons who never said NO. Whoever or whatever it was I always said yes and helped out. Not no more, it was too hard to please everyone all the time. I now say sorry I can't! Sometimes I feel guilty, but have you ever noticed when you needed something you don't get the help!
Off to to some me things.

Thankful Friday

The news has been so sad with the miners still trapped, 3 rescuers passed way trying to get the trapped miners out, children missing all over the US and in our city too many shootings. So I just want to say that I'm THANKFUL that I'm happy, alive and in good health. I have a great family, good friends and scrap supplies!
So take a minute today and be thankful for something. One thing on my list to do is to get some canned goods and take them to the STUFF A BUS. Our city is collecting food for the homeless and they are way behind last years donations, so its time to chip in.
Life can have many twist, be thankful today don't wait until tomorrow.

Another beautiful day

I will say this week we had very nice weather, sometimes a bit muggy but the sun has been shinning. Last night was crappy not warm enough for air so we slept (or at least Randy slept) with the ceiling fan. but after it is on for a while it makes a noise and it blows over my side and he likes it turned up. So today I'm tired and stiff but I just couldn't lay there anymore.
I believe dh and I will be taking a short drive to a casino, we don't gamble but $20.00 LOL once that is gone so are we. We want to take a short drive and since we have gone north so much we want to do something fun. With his MS we are limited to things he can do. So no long walks, can not be in the heat and nothing that will wear him out.
And still not enough birthday shopping done...Yikes.
Toodles....have a nice day.

Create

Yeah, I finally did a layout yesterday and I did one today. Finally getting some mojo now I just have to keep it up. Dh's birthday is Friday and he is the hardest person to buy for. What do you get a guy who wears nothing but T-shirts and jeans. He needs no clothes, nothing for his truck, no fishing gear and he only plays his play station (yes I have an over grown child) and watches movies. Yes I can get him more games, but this is what he always gets. So on goes the thinking cap.
Today was a pretty productive day, besides scrapping the house got swept, vaccumed and floors mopped. Dogs went to the groomers and they came back smelling great and looking cute.
Off to read some boards and flip some channels.

Tuesday

I'm such a list maker, am I alone or does everyone else do this? I make a list almost every day and everything goes on my list even things I know that must get done. Such as laundry, wash car, clean scrap table and iron. I love the feeling when I get to cross something off that list. Crazy huh?
Well since I did so many things on my list yesterday, today will be more of a me day.
Right now I'm just checking blogs, boards and eyeing all the scrap goodies on QVC. I need a cutting machine I have none. Someday one will be in my scrappy room, its just too hard to decide on which one. I'm afraid if I buy one now a better one will come out. AGAIN!
Also everyone needs to hug someone today! Since my niece's wedding on Saturday I realized I come from a family that is big on hugging. I can not even count on how many hugs I received, and how nice it felt.
Have a very nice day.

What a Monday

Lets just say I'm glad it is over. Today work was a little stressfull, having to deal with employees fighting, customers arguing and kids running out of control and opening bottles of color and dumping them on the floor. YIKES!

So I took this blog plunge, don't know how well I will do, but will try to update often.
