Yellow Scrapbooker
Scrapbooking is more than a hobby for you-it's a way to connect with others. You may enjoy attending crops or chatting with other scrapbookers online. Your photos may often feature you and your chums. Your pages have a cute, happy vibe.




This was what a color survey said about me. Here's the link: http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/articles/may_2009_color_me_quiz

I think it fits fairly well. My photos, though, feature more of my family, then friends, and less of me.

Not much else to write on. Enjoying my youngest laughing in the back ground at some funny Sponge Bob video clip. I love to hear him laugh!

Hump Day

I'm trying to journal just a bit daily.

I'm still doing well recovering and just about feeling back to my old self. Hope this is a good sign!

I'm not happy with this 90+ degree weather these past 2 days. Where did spring go?

Gotta clean up the house before my bro gets here Friday.

My sweet 93 yr. old grandmother wrote me a letter and sent along with it a pic of her. She's so cute and sweet! I MUST write her a hand-written letter tomorrow!

Gotta be good tomorrow and Friday for my weigh in Saturday.

I was right on who would go home on AI tonite - Lil and Anoop! The top 5 remain. I hope and think it will be another all guy finale!

Journaling for Tuesday

Not much new, however I'm determined to blog a bit more to help me in my journaling. Cathy Z. is offering a BPS class on using Facebook and/or Twitter to journal. Though i may not take the class, i want to post more regularly about things so that i have it for scrapping. So here's some bullet highlights:
* in shock at how much my older son is growing. His voice is changing and has been since about Jan. or Feb. He likes how it's changing. And the armpit hair . . . won't go there!
* this week at work has proven to be better than last week as far as how i feel after surgery. Much better!
* SAT week at school; once done, still have 5 more weeks of school, but the kids will basically shut down, if they haven't already.
* bro is coming in this weekend with his singing buddies. They'll be singing at Dell Diamond Friday nite at the RR Express game. COOL!
* LOVING AI! Adam is hot, and I'm loving Kris! Danny - fab voice! I think it'll be the guys in the end!
* Worried and praying for a friend who is going thru some really tuff life battles right now. I hope she knows she's loved!
* Watching Biggest Loser and feeling good today about the weight loss i've had the past 2 weeks. FINALLY! 5 lbs.!! I'm hoping for another 1-2 this next weigh in. I wonder could i do BL if i was there? I wonder if I'd be strong enough? They've got major courage!


Okay enough for today.

Weekend Recap

Easter was as wonderful as i thought it would be. The music was awesome; the service was awesome; all the little ones dressed up and hunting on the grounds were soooo adorable!! And we had the Easter Bunny there for the kids and pics. I made my two boys (14 & 12) get their pic with the Bunny. I had to force them, but they did it. And i'm glad. Won't get too many of those opportunities, and i KNOW they wouldn't do it anywhere else!
Tim unfortunately had to work. We didn't do anything special for dinner/lunch. Since we've always been far from family, and i'm not much of the cook, we don't do Easter dinners like many do. I think that's okay; it gives us more family time, rest time, and just enjoying the REAL meaning for the day.
Went to dr. for 2nd post op visit and all is still well. So i am going back to work half days for tomorrow and Wed.; then full time on Th. & Fri. We'll see how it goes. I know, from a few parents, that the kids are so ready for me to return! So sweet!
I'm also trying to catch up on my Library of Memories online class. I already had somewhat of a head start when i got the book and began implementing the new way of scrapping. THAT definitely helped! But there are a few projects/layouts that i haven't done yet that have been assigned. I was hoping to do some of this over my recovery time, but i just never quite felt up to it unfortunately! There's a reason; i guess i just needed my rest - which i got!


Of to listen to Stacey J. at BPS . . .

He is Risen!




HaPpy EAstEr!!

I'm looking forward to a wonderful time of worship tomorrow at church to celebrate the true meaning of EASTER! I haven't been to church for a couple of weeks due to my surgery, but I think i'm finally on the right track now in my recovery. So i get to go to church!! I'm also enjoying the Easter break we receive - Good Friday off and Monday off as well. It'll be our last break of the school year before summer! Wow, how the school year has flown.

Happy Easter!

Wednesday Wordle

Wordle: American Idol

Dedicated to my fav show!
I'm doing okay recovering from surgery; right now planning to go back 1/2 days next Tuesday. I'm going to see how Monday goes first.

Haven't scrapped like I had hoped; either tired or not up to it. I WILL do some tomorrow.

New wordle tomorrow. These would be great in scrapbooks!
