I VOTED!

Beautiful rural area in
New York!

So the sticker says! I did my civic duty tonight and voted! Glad to get it done and done early! Still had to wait about 45 minutes, but i bet that's better than what it will be tomorrow and Tuesday! Now to see who wins!!

Can you believe it??????

3 posts by me in one week?

I think this is because i've needed to vent or ramble or . . .

Been a challenging week at work. Almost seems like deja vu' as it seems the headmaster and I are possibly at odds over a child once again. A child who will not complete and/or do his work and his mother said that his school work is all my responsibility, and not hers! See where the dilemma begins? Also, all of a sudden dh seems to be in a control-freak mode - wanting to keep all cd's in the jewel case and not anywhere else but the living room. Full moon?

Enough of that. Going out with a friend tomorrow nite to celebrate our October b-days. I'll be washing my worries away! I'd like to clean up my scraproom this weekend if i can spare the time. Got tons of stuff lying all around.

Well, i'm off. Happy Halloween and don't forget the extra hour we get!

I went on a trip . . .

a guilt trip! Yes, Pam, it was good. And look! I'm back again and didn't wait 17 days.

I'm watching the news and almost in disbelief that the Presidential election is just a week away and we'll have a new President!

I'm missing SBF bad! I so miss stopping in and drooling over the new stuff and chatting with the workers. It's so good to still see them at the crops

they host monthly - mainly thanks to Patti and Marie! It's really good to know that even though SBF is gone, it's not gone in our hearts and the desire to still connect and scrap is still going strong!

Got report cards done and glad that's over! My boys did pretty good on their report cards, and I'm really proud of Aaron for doing so well in his first 9 weeks in middle school. I didn't know how he'd do, but so far so good!

Well, enough of my musings. Maybe you'll see me back tomorrow nite, then maybe not.

But I will be back soon!

This One's For You . . .

wherever you are! (Hearing Barry Manilow singing this in the background)! Who is the 'you'? Pam! Congratulations! This post is for you! LOL!

Pam told me it's been too long since i posted, so once again convicted, i'm here catching up. It's been 17 days; too long, i know!

So what's happened since the last post? Not much. Staying busy at work, finishing up the first 9 weeks of school, buying more scrapping stuff than using it, and reading the Love Dare. Good book for anyone/all who would like to save or improve their marital relationship. I have seen FIREPROOF, and this book is from this movie. I'm on day four right now.

WW - still struggling with these first dang 5 lbs. I guess i've kinda been trying, so i can't expect it to come off if i'm not fully committed. But i've just got to or else . . . .

Well, off to finish final grades for the first 9 weeks which are due tomorrow to principal.

I'll try to come back before 17 days!

Me at the Hershey store in NYC this summer. NOT really drinking that bottle of chocolate syrup!

"They say it's your birthday"

That's what they were telling me on Wednesday - you know, that it was my birthday. It was, and it was a good day. My students and their parents spoiled me with chocolates, flowers, balloons, gift cards and love! Got a g.c to one of my fav stores from dh; wished I had gotten an SBF g.c. though - :(

Overall a good week and looking forward to our 3-day weekend! Yeah!

Nothing else new, really. Pretty much the same-o, same-o.

Thought i'd pop in since i've not been a good blogger lately.

Can't wait for the next scrap i go to. I'm ready to do something. I hope to clean up my room tomorrow. Gots lots of junk in there now.

Until next time, America!

Ooops, my bad!

I didn't realize that it had been so long since i posted. Where did the time go? Guess going back to school is most of it! What have i been up to? Work, mainly. But i have finished reading a really great book, so i think, called the "The Shack". I think the author is William P. Young. Hope i got that right. Anyway, it's a best seller, and a very good read, but for me, i believe a person should be well grounded in their faith and Word of God before reading.

Oooo, also saw "Fireproof" with my dh last Sunday, and that was an awesome movie! I got a lot from it and it really spoke to me. Hopefully it did for dh, too.

Now, my son's b-day is tomorrow - turning the big 14! And mine's on Wednesday! 43 years young and feeling pretty good considering. I don't think i feel that old, and hopefully don't look that old - hee hee.

So another eventful and i'm sure busy week ahead. Off to make me a sandwich and open my mail - bday cards, magazines. . .

I'll try to pop in more often to post.
