March 19th- Can we just skip this day?

I am not a fan of this date in history. Really, I am not joking! Today is the 3rd anniversary of my Mom passing away. I guess you could say this is one of my dark days. Don't wanna be around people, don't even want to be bothered by them. I really miss her, more and more each day. I still expect that old phone to ring and it will be her on the line seeing what I have been up to today. I guess you really never really appreciate all what your mom has done for you in her lifetime until she is gone. Don't forget she gave birth to you, nutured you, kissed the booboo's away and many other things. I guess that is why I am so upset when people speak bad of their mother's. Yep there was a time when my Mom and I barely spoke to each other for some stupid reason or another. And then there was times I would just run to her for her advice, whether I took it or not. I just miss her and there is nothing that will ever change that feeling. But one day I will see her again and then we can spent eternity together doing all the things I wish I could have made time for, to be with her, just to enjoy her company.

Mommie I love you very much and miss you more and more.

Happy Saint Paddy's Day...... well almost

I think I will start putting kitty pics on my blog and I think this is the perfect one to start with. Most people, mainly women, do feel this why. That is why this baby is named Snarky Kitty. Have a great day!!

Tuesday Night at the TV

I think Tuesday night is about the only night I really watch network TV. NCIS on CBS, Law and Order: CI and SVU on NBC. That is about all the network TV I watch. In other words They have boring shows. Well except for ER on Thursday nights. Gotta watch my ER.

Same old, same old this week so far. I wish Donnie could find another job. He hates where he is working at and I do not blame him. Hopefully in April when the Job on Fort Benning opens I can give him some relief and he can quit that damn job of his.

Started a new competition this week, The KMA Top Scrapper. Well at least we do not get voted off every week. We have to accumulate points and at the end of the 6 weeks of competion the person who has the most points wins. I still wonder what the goodies are that we win?

Speaking of winning, I won a Pub Calls Contest. Well it was a random drawing from a Scavenger Hunt but hey I won something!! Can't wait till it comes in the mail and I see what it is. Later All

Scrapbooking

I really do not understand alot of the backstabbing that is happening in my favorite hobbies industry. Who is Laura Solomon?? What is wrong with Scrap That Moment?? Who is Tara G. of Dreamstreet Papers?? Has scrapbooking gone totally wacko???? I guess I am one of the few that is not in the inner circle nor cares to be in that circle of that much backstabbing is going on. Makes me Sad!!

February

I pretty much forgot about this blog here. I guess I need to update more often.

Latest Happings

Had to get a new car right before Christmas. That was fun! No the truck and the little pouddle car both died within a week of one another. First, the truck, the freeze plug finally went in it. And the Little Puddle car finally blew her engine. Now we have a 2004 Cheverolet Malibu LS. Needless to say I love this car!!!!!

Still looking for work. I guess that will be a never ending search around here. SOmetimes I wish we were back in Louisiana or had moved to Missouri. But as cold as it has been in Missouri lately I am glad we are down south.

My favorite movie month has started on Turner Classic Movies. 31 Days of Oscar, I love the month of February! I have already seen some great movies and it is only the 7th of February. Just great old time movies that have either won an Oscar or were nominated for an Oscar. Just great old time movies.

Scrapping and Bees!!!

I love to scrap but I HATE BEES!!!!!! or this one was a yellow jacket. Dummy me walking around outside with no shoes on, watering my plants. And what do I step on...... A yellow Jacket!!! Oh the pain in my right foot. Thsnk God hubby dips. Wet tobacco is the only cure I know of of getting the bee venom out of a sting. But at least it works!!! No my foot is swollen right below the ball of my foot. That will be fun to walk on tomorrow when we go to Benning!!

On the bright side here is a Layout I did today for Hubbies Sinai book.

Happiness is......

sitting at the computer all alone, one kitty sleeping next to the computer all curled up and your dog curled up around your feet sleeping. That is what happiness is and all is right in this household for the evening. Have a great weekend!!!

Just another day

Well just another day here on the south 40.

All of this on the news about Mel Gibson. Okay I cannot condone his remarks and his possible DUI. But gee, words are words. Everyone these days take everything and blow it outta context. I am more worried about other events going on in the world today than what Mr. Gibson said while he was drunker than Cooter Brown!!

I mean What is the world coming too if all that is blasted about the headlines that an actor made an ass of himself drunk??

I am more worried about the Med East than what he said.

At least he is getting treatment and he went voluntarily to Rehab and has admitted he has a problem with alcohol. Some people do not even get that far.

Okay Next subject

I am soo sad that Product Playground has come to an end. Lisa Damrosch has been one of the best Instructors I have had with all tha classes I have taken from The Big Picture Scrapbooking classes. I can only wait till later this year when Lisa does her next class for BPS. I am sure I will sign up for this one.

Not much on the scrapping side this week so far. I have been busy altering chipboard for a board book I am making for the storage of all my photo Cd's. As soon as I get that finished I will upload and show it off. I am doing it in all Chatterbox papers. I have a few hundred so it might put a dent in them.

Well later taters, Try to stay cool!!!!!!!

TGIF.... I think

Well it cooled down for a little bit, now it is back to being hot, hot, hot. Of course my happy littel booty stays inside the house on these hot days. I just wish I could get out and enjoy the summer like I used to. But that was 20 years ago and 2 heart attacks.

Donnie is still trudging away at Publix. I know he hates the job. He does not mind the work but just hates the job. Does that make any sense??

I have a crop tomorrow to go to. I am not for sure if I am gonna stay the whole day. Just really feel like staying home and crawling up in a little ball and sleeping. But can't do that can we?? I wish I was little again. about 5 years old would do, and not have to worry about anything except when I was gonna get a cookie??? Bee nice wouldn't it?

RAIN RAIN GLORIOUS RAIN!!!!!

It is raining!!!!! We have really been having a rain problem around here, not too much but lack of. Well it atarted last night raining and as I type right now it is thundering and raining more. My yard has actually become a chamoeloen overnight. Instead of brown and yucky looking , it is GREEN!!!! Glorious Green!!!!

LSS garage sale was yesterday. I did not do too bad, $143.00. But now I am contimplating on if I want the new tote for $99.00 and them goodies or use my old tote and buy $143 dollars in goodies??? Decisions, Decisions. What is a girl to do????

Finally, every year for the past 6 years I have watched for 3 weeks in July The Tour De France. Well I have been glued to the TV the past 3 weeks again thins year watching every stage numerous times. Congratulations to Floyd Landis!!! What an inspiring ride, since in a about a month he will be undoing replacement surgery for his hip. Great job!!!! I am in awe

AHHHH Saturday

Just another typical Saturday right......wrong. Awake this morning at 3:30 am to find Husband searching den. He had misplaced his glasses. So he I am up and about looking for them. Well I found them, under the bed, and totally chewed by the Pitiful puppy. Needless to say that is $250.00 shot to hell in a hand basket. So now Dh needs new glasses. Thanks God Walmart takes payments on them and Don just needs them for reading or we would really be up a creek without a boat or a paddle. So here we go just another UNUSAL Saturday to deal with. Hopefully the LSS Yard sale is doing good and all of my stuff will be gone.

Just a regular Friday...... NOT!

I thought last night when i went to bed that today would be a typical Friday for me, cleaning, laundry. cooking dinner, and of course some scrapping time included. Well rewind to 3:30 this morning. Tater and Pitiful start barking at god knows what. Needless to say I am awake. Well after an hour of playing on the computer, they finally settle down. AHHH..... back to sleep.
Now I have to get my butt in gear and do the 3s's and get ready to take all of my unloved scrap goodies to the LSS garage sale. Wish me luck!! I have at least if I sell it all, $250.00 dollars in cradit with the LSS. That means a new Scrapping tote for me!!! So keep your fingers crossed!

I finished this layout yesterday and I am really proud of it. Some of my Dad's old photos from Italy during WWII also a poem he wrote about a battle he was in. Hope you enjoy.
