Back to school???

Wow, it's been a while since i posted last. A lot has happened since my last post. We got a new pup from the shelter - pit bull mix named Checkers. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo cute! He's been great and seems to have a really low key, sweet personality. We start obedience training this Saturday. I love him so. Pics to come.

I go back to work/school tomorrow - Friday the 14th. Too soon, but i can't complain that i didn't relaxe enough! I'm kinda ready. I'll have same kiddos as last year with a few sprinkled in. Should be interesting as i've never moved up with a group before.

Getting an house interior makeover today and in days to come. Interior painting in most rooms and new flooring in all the house. Excited, but already not liking the 'mess' of having to move our personal stuff here and there, but it's part of the process. Guess i need to take pics of this, too.

I've done poorly on the 365 page a day project. May have to either make due with what i've done or do it next year - or both! Did take a really awesome and fun web class with Rene Pearson this summer on digi scrapping and i LOVED it! And plan to do more with her and Jessica Sprague in the nearest future. I want to do digi, but need to do hybrid as i have too much stuff to just go completely digi.

Signing off for now. Who knows when i'll be back on. Sooner than i did this time.

Back Home

Got back from a great visit with my brother and his family. 4 days of down time and family time. Got to see real, live rain! Thankfully it either followed us or God simply answered many prayers for it. Got to spend time with a dear high school friend and we drove around Arlington to reminisce about our younger days and hangouts! It was a blast to the past, for sure! Spent Wed at Hawaiian Falls water park in Mansfield; overcast day may it perfect! My sis-in-law won a cabana so we got a covered little hut/building to hang out in for small breaks and such! To end the visit, we got to wake up at around 5:30 a.m. to my brother telling us to get into the tub, that there was a possible tornado coming! That's what i'd call a rude awakening. But we were kept safe, thank GOD! Now we're home and i'm trying to think what all i need to do in these last 2 weeks of my summer break before i return to my job on the 14th. I knew it would come, but not quite ready.

camera straps

Just thought i'd post a pic of camera straps i saw on Stacy J's board. Cool. Thinking i might need one - soon! I'm thinking either the teal or lime! Probably lime! I believe the link is www.photojojo.com.

Sad day . . .

Both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died! Really liked his earlier music, and she really was a beautiful person. Makes one think about life and eternity . . .

Everyone's Doin' It . . .

according to Ali Edwards and Cathy Z. So now i'm gonna do it.

Outside my window: The sun just beginning to set, making our backyard very bright.

I am thinking about: the mess my scraproom is in and how much time i'm spending cleaning and rearranging, but NOT scrapping!

I am thankful: A/C since it has been so STINKIN' hot here in central Texas. Nothing like 100+ temps! YEAH A/C!!

From the kitchen: Quesadillas for dinner! Brown rice, black beans, red tomatoes, cheddar cheese, white chicken breast meat, etc. Quite colorful, no? :)

I am wearing: My fav and only Barry Manilow concert t-shirt and black shorts.

I am creating: a mess in my scraproom, as i said above!

I am going: to my scraproom in a bit to work in and on it some more. Hopefully tomorrow to car wash, Curves then Bible study in the p.m.

I am reading: Believing God by Beth Moore, along with parts of the Bible; Romans 4.

I'm hoping: for rain and cooler temps - SOOOOOON!

I'm hearing: the T.V. in the background playing "Zach and Cody" and the A/C running.

Around the house: dust bunnies that need to be sucked up by vacuum. Also little hot spots (piles) that need to find a permanent home.

One of my favorite things: would have to be summer break in my A/C home.

A few plans for the rest of the week: continue working in and on scraproom, Bible study, scrapathon on Saturday, read my new photography book.

I liked this! Neat for daily journal entries.
