Another rainy day....

Wow another rainy day here, the past two weeks we have had enough rain to drown any rats running around to say the least!

On a brand new laptop here, my trusty Toshiba finally took a dive, big time.  I guess 6 years and a major upgrade last year gave it more life that is expected for computers these days, so now I'm on a new learning curve with this fantastic HP OMG it's just too awesome and amazing that the cost was 1/2 that of my Toshiba years ago, freaky how much the prices have come down over the years, can't wait to already increase the RAM and hard drive in this baby IF and when I have to lol.

Well a bad day pain wise for me I can hardly move, sitting here curled up on the couch with the heating pad on high hitting my tailbone area, time almost to get ready for work, actually going in a bit late letting my meds take the edge off hopefully so far they are not helping but hey that's life right for those of us who are affected by rain and snow living each day with metal and broken metal in my case at my tailbone (fusion gone bad).  

Just wanted to get a note out since it's been so long once again since I added a post, I'm behind in just about every craft or sewing project thanks to all the yard work with this rain that takes my time once I get home from the day job or job 2 I should say I'm usually exhausted and painfully doubled over so then I once again curl up to relax and end up falling a sleep lol.

Hope everyone has a great day and better week...

Oh my goodness I will have to check out this great scrapbooking giveaway over at http://www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com 

This is one of the best scrapbooking sites ever specializing in the Cricut line (my other fav is Everyday Cricut which is a sister site lol) I follow them religiously on my Black Berry during the day while at work lol just wish I could always sign onto a real computer to more often to keep up this way.

Believe it or not but they just hit over a million visitors so that tells you just how busy it is so congrats accomplishment!

Anyhow, if you are into scrapbooking, card making, etching glass, working with vinyl, cake decorating oh my gosh I could just go on and on about the uses of the Cricut line but I won't they do a wonderful job at Obsessed with Scrapbooking so I'll let you visit them to see for yourself the examples created, beautiful ideas shared, hints and tips, how-to videos and so so much more!

Another weekend gone by way too fast...

Boy oh boy do the weekends ever go fast when one works both days...sigh guess I'm never going to get laundry done.

Oh well at least I got caught up with emails and twitter, facebook, myspace, etc., all those places that my sons and granddaughters pictures and hints of their lives show up since they are distantly not here.

Saw snow today for a bit, YUK when will this crap ever go away and let springtime come please oh please hurry I cannot stand it.  At least the days are lighter out longer now, come 6 pm it's dark these days vice 4:30 lol.

Just printed a few pics of Kenadie from her 3rd birthday spent in CA at Disney, what a little princess she is, hope they are able to come out in a month or so like Josh (daddy) is planning since it's been almost a year and a half already whew time has flown by.

Okay time to quit for now, ciao!

Mid December Already...

OMG how can it be that it's already the middle of December, I have not gotten my package off to CA for my son and granddaughter out there yet yikes...

I had not even gotten into the baking this winter, it seems harder and harder as the house is empty and no family nearby to come visit so it's like heck not going to make things for I'll just be forced to eat em myself yikes! Or share it with the two doggies but then that does them no good either lol that's one thing none of us need to get 'fluffy'.

Have some of my shopping done anyhow, not that there's much to shop with moo-la wise lol I know everyone is really feeling it just grateful for a roof over my head and job I guess.

However this weather I could gladly do without that's for sure, the storm we had this week was god awful literally from traffic to 17" OVERNITE and it sucked I'm still trying to shovel my driveway out so I can get in and out better, there was just too much of it and I don't own a snow blower just a few shovels. When I bought this house almost 12 yrs ago I had a back without metal and broken metal in there lol and was hale and hearty also had two growing boys at home to help lol oh how the years go by and things change so not fair. I'd love to win the lottery and be able to just pack up and move somewhere southwestern again.

Why did I ever leave sunny San Diego I'll never figure it out, oh yeah to be near family lol but the rest of the nieces and nephews have also flown my sister's coup and went back to CA as mine have done (well one of mine did anyhow lol).

Enough for now, time for me to check out the new cartridge I got today on-sale at Joann's :) fun oh fun wish I could afford more tho sigh...oh well thanks for letting me vent!

Wow where have the months gone???

Wow I just realized how many months have gone by before I have taken the time to sit down and jot a few notes about life. But then again life is passing way too fast, from not dating to working too much to never having enough time for the fun stuff... oh well the snow is coming so I guess that means evenings of sleeping, keeping warm, quilting, working on some designs w/the Cricut and stuff IF I ever get motivated.
