Good Saturday

Yes, a good day. Didn't get the rain I had prayed for; hard to believe such a storm could just miss us, but it did. I am hoping few lives were taken.



Had a good weigh in at WW - 1.2 lbs.! Best i've done yet! So if i can do that or a bit more by next Saturday, i'll have finally lost 5 lbs. I know slow is good, but i know i can lose it faster. I didn't track well this week; go figure! But this week, I will for sure, and write down EVERYTHING. That's hard to do sometimes, but i've got to do it.



Scrapped with Fever Friends Crop group today. It was nice. Desi wasn't with me, but i had my music and Nancy near by and a few new faces near me as well. It was all good. Got one of my many SBF kits done, except for pics of course. I'm getting through my stash of kits, but I need to get some pics in them soon! It was good to see Pam, Marie, Patti, Janet; missed seeing Susan and Lorrie.



Well, off to read my WW mag and maybe grade some papers tonite. Life of a teacher never ends - until summer! That's a lil' bit aways right now.



Ciao!

Do you like it?

My new background? I love it!! Thanks to reading Julie's blog tonight, i found that she had changed her background, saw a link for the free backgrounds, and finally figured how to add it and it worked! The Cutest Blog on the Block has adorable backgrounds. It was hard for me to choose but i chose this one for now. I'm sure i'll be changing it up often according to moods and seasons. Let me know what you think.

Hoping to scrap with SBF friends and
ex-shoppers (:( ) tomorrow for a while. Hoping the weather won't be so nasty, yet i am hoping for some rain. I do pray those who will be hardest hit will be as safe as possible. I just hope it will come a bit more this way for we need some rain! We had an early release planned for today which was going to be a teacher in-service day but turned into an everyone-go-home early, cancelling in-service! Guess God knew we'd be using for Ike!

I think i've done pretty good this week with WW. I'll go weigh in tomorrow and am hoping to have lost 2 lbs.!! It's been really slow this go around but i'm not putting it on, so that's good. I'll take up walking soon now that the weather is getting cooler. Can't wait - me with my MP3, comfy shoes and clothes, and I could walk for quite some time! Love walking in the fall and early spring.

Well, i'm off to bed; tired and my arms are hurting for some reason - weird!
I'm so excited about my new page background . . . .

Until then . . .

So sad . . .

Yesterday was sad - Scrapbook Fever's last day of business! I couldn't bring myself to go there this weekend because it just seemed to hard. As i was driving home from ladies ensemble practice at church, I happened to see off I-35 the store with a UHAUL in front of it. I knew then it was a done deal and that I made the right decision not to go there. I probably would've balled like a baby. Goodbye~SBF. I will sorely miss you!

On to other things - 3rd week of school and still feeling good about it. Let's hope that continues.

My post op appointment with OB-GYN went well and all is good. Nothing else too newsy right now.

So until the next time . . . Journey on!

Labor Day

Isn't this a cool pic? I love the colors it in - fresh, vibrant, inspiring! Can't remember where i found it, but i copied it because of the coloful simplicity of it.

Well, no going to work/school today! Nice 3 day weekend. What is a girl to do? Scrap! I hope anyway. I will be doing scrap related things - cleaning and reorganizing my totes and containers from the crops i've had in the last week, putting up new purchases and putting back what was packed for crops, cleaning off dining room table from my summer 'PHOTO FREEDOM' project, and whatever else may come my way. I'll also be praying for Gustav victims and praying that some of the rain may make it our way. It would be nice if the wealth was a bit more spread out - shared.

Pam, a wonderful scrapper and creator of Word Blooms (check her site out at http://www.heartoftexas.com/ ) made me some license plate albums for my trips to Alaska and New York. Can't Wait to do those puppies! They'll be so fun to do and cute! Thanks Pam!

Let's see - anything newsy? Well, had minor day surgery 2 Wednesday's ago and doing fine. From the tissue tested, all seems fine; i'll see Dr. on the 8th to possibly find out more. I didn't get to go to WW on the 23rd, but did on the 30th and lost 1/2 lb. Slow going but it's going. I'm hoping now that the surgery and previous problem are hopefully in the past, my body and i can start working together to get this weight loss going. I'm struggling with whether i should keep my Curves memebership as i'm not using it much and just not getting motivated enough to do it. I want to take up walking again since i enjoy it so much, but that's been slow going of late. Decisions, decisions . . . . Nothing else i can think of worth mentioning at this time.

Until later . . . .
