A question then an offer....

Can chardonnay taste like mushrooms? The bottle said apple, pear and oak. Is oak a secret code word for fungus? I thought I would be all sassy and cool last night and have a little glass of wine while I was getting ready for bed. But ew. It tasted like mushrooms. BLECH. The rest of it went down the drain.

Anyhoo.... I'd like to sell a few scrapbook things. First is my super cute, super awesome rolling tote. I LOVE this tote. But I'm just a tiny little person trying to drag this thing up and down the stairs and it's just too heavy for me. I end up using shoulder totes and this just sits around not getting used. Let me know if you are interested. Here's a link....

The Butterfly Tote

The other thing is my XPCS. I love this too, but I have a Cricut now and there just isn't enough room for me to keep everything. I have the machine, the tote bag, 11 of the font/shape books and some xtra mats and possible an extra blade. Here is a link to that too...

Hello again....

Do you ever just feel crabby? I love it when I can blame pms, but right now I don't have that as an excuse. I'm just crabby. My weekend was frustrating to say the least... lunch plans jacked up, shopping plans jacked up, jacked up purchase from the containter store that has to go back, my shoulder is jacked up, my kitchen sink is full of dirty jacked up dishes, I have a mountain of laundry to do.... ACK. So what did I do about this? Last night I just scrapped. Didn't worry about anything, just scrapped and watched 24. A little Jack Bauer can cure any worries. I will fix the kitchen and do my laundry tonight. I promise.

This, my friends, family, and anonymous ugly comment leavers... is the face of PMS... (and my dinner last night)



It's not pretty, but sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

tap, tap....

Is this thing on? Helllloooooo????

I know, it's been since September since I've blogged. I'm ashamed, no need to hand slap me. One of my resolutions for 2009 is to keep my blog updated, so here I am. It's the 8th of January, but better late than never right?

Here is a quick update of all that has happened since I was last here.

Happy Birthday to me. LMNOPEA retreat. WOO HOO fun. Blood clot. Not WOO HOO fun. Happy Thanksgiving. Broke my ass. Also not WOO HOO fun. Trip to Dallas. Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

Alrighty then. With that out of the way.......... It's 2009!! Bring out the noise makers, the fire crackers, the confetti!! I love fresh starts. This is why I am hosting a January Journal challenge on Willow Traders. If you are anything like me, you forget about your resolutions by the end of January. Well, not this year. No way no how. I am keep a daily journal/scrapbook to stay on track. Hopefully this will help me make and keep a few new healthier habits.

Unfortunately, my journal is a disaster so no pics of that yet. I will be spending the weekend starting over. But here are a few layouts I did last night with the Septemer 2008 kit from The Scrap Room...

by the way... what's wrong with my blog? what happened to my links and music? sigh. another project to work on...
