We’ve got RRRRRRRRRRRRoaches!

And I don’t say that like I’m proud – they are just plain NASTY.  But they’re kind of fun in a twisted kind of way.
We’ve recently moved offices at work. We have a lovely space with new carpet, new wallpaper, even the baseboards have been painted.  New furniture, new everything. It is LOVELY.  Except that this [...]

New post – rated R

This little short blog entry is dedicated to Jen.  Jen is still in the scrapbook competition that I was in, and her layout for this round of the competition is one of my favorites. It is RAW and REAL and I wish I had thought of the idea.
The funniest part about it – Jen is [...]

BEEP BEEP!

The horn on our minivan doesn’t work.  Yes, this must be a very dangerous situation, but so far it has just brought me a lot of laughter.
My loving husband is an excellent driver, but he does seem to get offended by all other drivers on the road, as if they left their house for the [...]

Well, that’s over with.

I got knocked out in this round of Last Scrapper Standing, aka “Competitive Scrapbooking from Hell.”  And I only say that because I let it consume me.  I thought about it all the time – I did not one layout for the last challenge, but TWO.  Because the first one wasn’t good enough.  Ha ha [...]

Ahhh…the first day of school

ETA: As soon as photobucket decides to resize the picture, the post should look normal. If I knew how to fix it now, I would.

I used to love the first day of school.  For some reason, the boys weren’t as excited about it.  They were so ho-hum about the whole thing.  I tried to instill [...]

VALIDATION!

So I’ve been a little obsessed this week with that whole Scrapbook competition.  To be honest, I looked at the other entries (350+ I think?) and felt completely inadequate.  I had decided that I was going to be okay if I didn’t make the first cut.  They are going to narrow the contestants down from [...]

Competitive Scrapbooking

I don’t think I have the heart for this!
I used to really enjoy scrapbooking, but I’ve gotten out of the habit.  Call it a creative block, lack of time, whatever.  Jen Jen talked me into signing up for “Last Scrapper Standing” being hosted by a group from 2peas.  This takes scrapbooking to a whole new [...]

My Space – am I missing something, here?

Every time I turn around, another person has a MySpace. And I don’t hang around with 17 year olds – these are grown people, setting up accounts and connecting via the internet.  They are reconnecting with friends from high school, old friends from camp, old neighbors.  How exactly do you “find” someone on MySpace?  And [...]

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends

This is some funny stuff.  It beats Spongebob – hand’s down! 
So Jen comes to visit.  There are these billboards all over town that I just haven’t understood.  It’s a big red cartoon guy with the words, “I pooted” on it.  Or, the big blue guy with a beater up his nose that says, “My boogers [...]

It is August

I love the beginning of the month.  It is like a fresh start every 30 or so days, a clean slate, an empty canvas.  Time to start something new or get back on track. Renew your spirit, live your best life! Watch OPRAH!
This month, I’ve got a couple of things that I want to do. #1 [...]
