{Catchin Up}

Feel like I am finally catching up - on life, on laundry, on cleaning, on sleep...
and of course just when i feel like this, everyone gets sick. I have been dealing with horrific gastic issues from both end of the digestive system from both kids ALL WEEK. And darling hubby goes to play poker all nite. how sweet.
I am in SERIOUS need of retail therapy right now.
I have bought a few new cute kits - which i LOVE - but right now i am needin the BIG TIME. I am So close to heading up to costco to plunk down the cashola for the laptop. Is this bad of me???
Tomorrow I finally get some "quiet time" as kealey likes to call it - time alone for mommy. The girls are going to see "queerious george" (kealey's stab at curious) I guess maybe he is queerious too. You never know about those cheeky monkeys!!
Anyways - mom and dad are coming to take little chitlins to movie and probably spend the nite with them, so i MIGHT get a date nite out of it! but if i do'nt, I will be at the awesome Miss Julie Howard's chat at DSD on Saturday nite. Sounds like fun. I love chat/crops. If you do too, read about Julie's here. Hope to see ya there!
So tonite is the awesome chat/crop at TDC. I tell ya, that place is really picking up again and it is awesome. There are SO MANY great designers there! My friends Kimberly Giarrusso and Jan Crowley are selling their awesome designs there. I am so blessed to be on both their teams. Awesome awesome ladies.
So anyways...

I am excited for my day of quiet tomorrow, have about six hours of unzipping to do here.... (ugh, my almost least favorite digi task - right next to the pain of uploading and typing credits for each layout!!!), gonna curl up with a beer and a good movie tonite by my lonesome, and dream of my new creating machine - it will be mine someday...

Can anyone tell me how you do like webshots as pics? in your blog entries? I am guessing it is going to entail something utterly time consuming and ridiculous such as saving as, uploading to photobucket and then pasting code in here....(do i sound like the world's laziest person today or what???? geez)
anyways...

I will leave you with this hilarious FW FW FW: email from my sissy poo. We both hate forwards. Never forward them on. But this one had me DYING laughing. My apologies to those of you who have seen this before -but I hope you still get at least a little laugh out of it! {Editor's Note - I apologize for the language on some of it - but for some of them, it just makes them that much more humorous - so in they will stay for now!!! Just laugh - life is short!!!}


1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotchwhen I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire roomfor the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too".Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course itis. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser,I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give mea choice there, did ya sunshine?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, thenthere has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, thenthere must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longestdamn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

Oh I am laughing all over again just putting them in here!

I have done a TON of layouts the last few days. But didnt want to flood any galleries this morning, so I spread them all out over my three main galleries - TDC, DSD, and SBB. (what is up with the acronyms in this hobby???) Anyways - three were for my grandma's b-day yesterday. i whipped them up, shipped them off to costco, my mom picked them up and drove them up to milwaukee in new frames for grandma. She loved them all. What an awesome gift to be able to share. Without further ado - here are the grandma pages.

This one uses Gina Miller Polka Papers in Punchy and some Jen wilson elements from the alphabet pack. Available at SBB. Inked edging by Nancy Rowe Janitz at Scrap Artist. Used a built in DIP filter on all the pics.














This one below uses the DSD mega kit for January. An absolutely HUGE awesome kit from all the DSD designers. The stamp is from a Ashley Olson Hot for You kit at Modscraps.























This last grandma layout uses the beautiful Napa Valley kit by Kimberly Giarrusso available at The Digi Chick. I just cannot say enough about how gorgeous this kit is. well paper pack and element pack - but both are equally awesome.













And that folks - is all she wrote for today.
I have a ton of other layouts to post. But i don't wanna make this post three miles long.

Needin to spice up the blog o rama a little bit. toying around with possibly moving to typepad????

nahhh - maybe i won't... dunno.

Anyhoo
have a fantabulous weekend. I will post more saturday and sunday you can bet -so if you are bored - peek in here - i will have some mindless drivel for you to read i am sure!!

C-YAAAAA
