Craziness

Well, I'd be excited about it being Friday, but it looks like another quick weekend for me. Tonight I've got to clean my house because I would really like to sleep in tomorrow morning. I have a baby shower tomorrow afternoon and that night I'm having a Margarita Night at my house with some girls from work. Plus, I'm making enchiladas for that. I may get them ready Saturday morning, just in case I don't have time when I get back from the baby shower. Then on Sunday we are going to the Chiefs game. JT had tickets he couldn't use, so he gave them to Doug. It also just happens to be "St. Joe Day" on Sunday, so we are definitely going down to tailgate. That'll pretty much be the whole day. Then it will be Monday again and it'll feel like I didn't even have a weekend at all.

It's supposed to be in the 80's this weekend. I really am not looking forward to that. I haven't totally put away my summer clothes, but I'm about ready to. I have been wearing lots of sweaters though. Thank goodness for chilly mornings. The leaves are starting to change. I really want to get some pretty pictures this year, but it's not going to happen if I don't get out and take any. I'm hoping to get some nice shots when I go on that train trip with my mom.

I'm working by myself this morning and it is so quiet in here right now. I remember when this used to go on for hours at a time. I'm sure now that I have typed this I'll have at least 5 people walk through the door in the next 20 minutes. That would probably be a good thing since I am very tired and need to wake up. I feel like all I have to do is close my eyes for a second and I'll be out. I've been averaging about 6 hours of sleep a night this week and that is on top of taking allergy medicine before I go to bed. I really need to get to bed earlier when I do that. It has been so hard to get out of bed this week.

I finished a good book the other night. It was Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson. Great book. I really do love southern fiction. I think her first book, Gods in Alabama, was better though. Right now I'm reading The Reading Group. I started it yesterday while I waiting on Doug at the dentist's office. I have put aside the Maeve Binchy for now. I think I'm going to take that on my trip along with Mason-Dixon Knitting and maybe something on my needles if I get inspired by this book.

Well, it's starting to pick up in here, so I'd better end this for now. Have a good weekend!

Grey's Anatomy

I'm sure you watched last night. I didn't realize that they were showing last season's finale Wednesday night. Thank goodness for DVR! Amanda & I watched both episodes back to back. I have to say, I was a little disappointed in the premiere. I think the best moment was Christina telling Burke not to die and the worst was a tie between George not telling Callie that he loved her too & McDreamy telling Meredith that he was in love with her. I was ready to throw things at my TV at that point. Poor Addison for finding Meredith's lost panties. I love how the thing with her telling the girls that the truth always comes out was a metaphor for her relationship with Derek. I also loved all the flashbacks. Those were great. Yay! I'm so excited it is back on TV. :)

Not Enough Hours in the Day

Is it just me, or does it seem like the older we get the less time there is to do things? Is it because I have so much more to do now that I have a home of my own? Or maybe it is just because my schedule is so screwy because of Doug's schedule? Probably a little bit of both, I'd have to say.

There is so much I want to do this weekend and I know that I won't even get through half of it. I got my first issue of Simple Scrapbooks this week (did you get yours?) and I have been poring over it. I really want to scrapbook now. Plus, I got all the stuff to start Doug's baseball album & to make him a shadow box the other day. So I'd like to get that done. And I need to do some serious filing and organizing around the house. Not to mention cleaning, laundry and all thos fun jobs. And if I can squeeze it in, I'd like to finish reading the book I started well before I came to visit you. Plus, tomorrow night is homecoming at LHS, so I told my mom I'd go with her. That'll be my whole evening. And I have a ton of shows recorded that I'd like to watch. I'm going to have to do some serious multi-tasking this weekend.

The Bachelor

So I think we should make Monday nights at 8:00 our weekly phone call night & time so we can watch The Bachelor together. What do you think?

Inspired!

I have been sitting here looking up scrapbooking layouts and now I am inspired! Why does my inspiration have to come to me while I'm at work for 6 1/2 more hours??? I'm jotting down ideas, so hopefully I'll be able to keep my momentum throughout the day. Housecleaning...was I supposed to do that tonight??? Hmm... :)

Check this out!

So I was looking around for some good sweater buys and came across this! Now, I know we probably aren't getting one in our mall, but I bet now I can use my penney's card for purchases! YAY!!!

*ETA: Nevermind, you can't use your penney's card. Boo!

Scrapbook Pages

Here are the pages I made last night.

This first one is titled "MOO." The journal box reads: "No trip to Wisconsin would be complete without cows & cheese! there were painted cows here & there all throughout Downtown Madison. We just couldn't resist taking a picture with them." The second page is titled: "friends to the end." The journal box reads: "Carmen & I sit by the Wisconsin Rive & wait for the tram that will take us to the Duck Tours. Wisconsin Dells, WI 9-2-06" Then I found these really cute stickers at Hobby Lobby. It says "Friend Facts" and it lists all the things that make up a friend, just like you would find on a package of food. Too cute! Here's a better picture of them (scroll down the page a bit). I also picked up the ones called "Cat Facts." :)

Sorry the quality sucks. I really need a scanner.

Pictures!

Okay, the pictures are in the mail. I went to the post office yesterday, so I hope they won't take too long to get there. I even managed to scrapbook a few of them last night. I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and spent 45 minutes looking at the 3-D type stickers and embellishments. I did get a few, but none for the pages I did last night. They are so much more expensive than regular stickers!! I am happy to report that I used way more paper than I have ever used before though. :) I will try to take some pictures of the pages tonight so that I can show them to you. This is when I really wish I had a scanner!

Makeup

I know I was supposed to post this stuff last night, but I fell asleep. Sorry! So anyhow, I went back through and added a few (okay way too many) things to my wish list. I also came across this page and knew they were referring to us! :)


And here is my wishlist. I can't wait to see yours!
