hi there!


what a good weekend.


friday night we hung around the house and watched STAR WARS. how funny it is to see lauren watch a movie i enjoyed as a small child. she loves chewie! (he was my favorite too!)


saturday we slept in and went to the movie to watch NIM'S ISLAND. what a great movie. i enjoyed it. then after we went shopping for WDW clothes. well, I did. i got all shorts and a few skorts and shirts. next weekend i think fred is gonna go shopping for his and then we have to shop for lauren.....


sunday we went to church and JESSE DUPLANTIS was preaching. it was nice to hear him and i got a lot out of his surmon. then we went to eat at lauren's favorite place, MCALISTER's, i hate that place, only because you have to wait 20 minutes for a freaking sandwich and they changed up the menu and the one i loved is no longer on the menu, but lauren likes it is all that matters.

we got home and i mowed and fred did too, lauren and i jumped on the trampoline and i double bounced her and her knee hit her nose! she is fine now, but i got scared she broke her nose.


we watch the last episode of star wars and got ready for bed.


i actually cleand out my prima flowers, geez! i got a lot of flowers. and this week i plan on hitting the pattern paper and sorting through that. i need to condense my stuff so that i can scrapbook more and stop buying.

i need to stop collecting paper too. that's a big problem with me.

i am doing good on my 150 layouts challenge i am at 25 right now and it's great. i want to be able to get a new desk or paint the old on i have.


well that's about it for now. i have to get back to work and try to make some money.


see ya soon, i hope to blog everyday this week, but we will see about that.


oh and i wanted to share this layout i did of my dad.


so here dad enjoy this. i know you will love it. it's all about fashion and your beloved ham.

Thursday, April 10, 2008

blah

well i am really sick of being sick.

2 more days of wrk missed and i am still not outta the woods today.
the thought of eating makes me gag. i have drank at least 5 gallons of
water in the past two days and a case of 7 up.
and a box of crackers.

but at least lauren is better, it sucks feeling sick and having to take care of a sick kid too.
at least her's passed quick and she wanted to go visit mimi tuesday.
yesterday i washed all the bed sheets and lysoled the whole house.
i scrubbed all the tubs and cleans everything she and i might have touched and replaced the tooth brushes.

yesterday once that was all done i relaxed and watched some tv. then at 2:30 had to go get her from school.
we then went to the hospital to go see wayne. he had two more stints put in his heart. at 5:45 he was out and the doctor said all went well. we went into recovery to go see him and he looked good.

he will be home today.

i just home i can make it through the day with out something oozing out.

at least it's thursday. 1 dayto go

Wednesday, April 02, 2008

it's OVER....


after 14 agonizing days of medicine and antibiotics, i am DONE!


2000 mg amoxicillian

1000 mg biaxin

60 mg prevacid
all in one days dose!


as of this morning i took my final dose and looking forward to creating new eating habits and adjusting my lifestyle to boost immunity. 14 days with out a coke, cherry coke but i cheated saturday with one.


I still don't have a clue were this crap came from, but i would hate for it to come back. which is possible.


but i really need to eat "more" healthy. like more fruits and veggies.

less gluten products and less fried foods.



thanks to all for you thoughts of me in thses pass weeks.

sunny california

yeah my ass!


well got back sunday afternoon.
totally , TOTALLY awesome time.

in a nut shell:

got to lori's house friday morning and we headed out to houston IAH! got there way early and enjoyed a beer to take the edge off the nervousness.

lesle met us there and we went and ate at chili's. then off to denver!
great flight. landed in denver. where's the snow? none to be seen.
enjoyed the lay over and at at a tex-mex place in the airport. called cheri p and was told ashley s was delayed like 4 hours! OMG! poor honey.

went to the gate and waited for the SAC trip. we met JAMES and cool guy that was listening in to our conversation. his wife knitts. so he knew about us scrapbookers.

on the plane ride, there was some AF guys heading out for training and one poor guy fell asleep. well, they jacked with his face on the plane. lmao.


got to cali and cheri and Amy picked us up.
totally awesome to see cheri again. i love that woman.

went to cheri's work to get our scrap crap box and stop for beer. (baby beer)
and then off to patti's house. wow! what a neighborhood.
she was so awesome to open her house to us and threa a wonderful welcoming party.
omg! i saw girls i thought i would never meet. JES, ERINJ, DEANNA, STEPHANIE H, JENK, THERESA

just fantastic time.

we did not get much sleep friday night so i woke up early and took the first show of the day. yeah for me i had hot water!
Monika, Lori and i went to the store to help patti set up. that was so cool to set up and see the store first hand. i was blown away by the product and supplies. total scrapbook heaven.

about 12ish cheri had to go to her house and i rode with her and she took me to FOLSOM prison. wow! now that we neat. so old and just wonderful. and for the record johnny cash never spent time at the prison other then to have concerts. Cheri and i did not know!

so back to the store and more scrapping and visiting. when i left with Cheri there was half a try left of won tons. when i got back there was only 7 left. that Lori jack ate them all.

we did challenge and door prizes.

it got tense for a while but i will not remember the time of stupidity, because that is what it was, but i will forever remember those lovely ladies and the awesome trip to California to see my friends for the Internet.

i mean where what would i be doing if it was not for those friends. my buddies my pals.
it may be spastic. but they are my spazz's.

oh and California in February....cold and rainy. but so worth the adventure.


thanks patti for the welcome and the goodies. i will always remember the woman i met that was from the hippie distrct of san fransico.

and cheri p! words could never express the total thankfulness to you my friend.

lesle: thanks again. you made it possible

tattle tellers

what is a tattle teller? let's see the definition.


tattle tale: a person who tattles....well lets look at tattle then.

tattle: 1. to disclose the secrets of another, esp. out of spite.
2. to chatter or gossip
3. to disclose by gossiping.

so looks like these people that tattle can not be trusted.
or they tattle because they like to be thought of as the sweet innocent person that they are not.



stop tattling on the others because we know who you are.

Wednesday, November 07, 2007

oh here is some pictures of cookie!

lauren so loves that puppy!






looks like we should have named him flash.....lol



a great weekend

we had a great weekend.
friday night we went shopping for the fixin's for the gumnbo for lauren's birthday party on the 10th. got all the meats and roux.
when we were heading home we stopped by diego's house and let lauren and him play for a while.

saturday was the Fall Fest at lauren's school. it was so much fun for her. There was booths for the kids to win little trinkets and face painting and hay rides. there was also a fish bowl toss. where you toss the ping pong ball in to the fish bowls to win a fish. well she wasted 5 bucks there trying to win the fish...and yes she finally did, not only one but she won two! she was so excited.
later that afternoon we hung at the house and mom came over to see cookie and she brought her dog "Bear". that was the funniest thing i have ever seen a basett hound chasing an australian shepard. too funny. poor cookie slept so good that night he was tired.

sunday woke up EARLY , due to the time change. nice!
headed to church . fred went to a friends house to have some "MAN" time together and watch the SAINTS game. me and lauren went shopping and ate at micky d"S. we played outside and then wayne came by to take lauren for a ride around the fields. i finished mowing the grass and then she and i went to go play on the new hay bails wayne got friday. she loves to play on those bails.
we had a great evening. i made chicken fried steak, mash tators, corn on the cob and milk gravy. yummy!

hope you all had a great weekend.

Friday, October 26, 2007

and they call it "PUPPY LOVE"

saturday we welcomed into our home "cookie".
he is a basset hound. lemon and white.
He was 8 weeks old sunday and so LAZY.
it's awesome that lauren is so at peace with him.
he doesn't jump and he loves to be rubbed.
this is saturday night: lauren wanted to sleep with him.
and can you believe she gave him one of her 1000's of stuffed animals?

this is sunday morning.
yes he woke us up at 6:00 am.
needless to say we were early for church.

this is cookie saturday once we got back from picking him up.
so this is for you tammy (frugalscrapper) looks like cookie love CROCs too. lmao


aw! so SWEET. i love his personality. lazy and content.


look at that face..... so cute!

PAY IT FORWARD challenge

Have you heard of "Pay It Forward"?
This has been going around the blogs at the moment and now it's my turn.
I was lucky enough to be one of the first three people to comment on the Oscar's Blog and now I will receive a handmade gift from her. . I can't wait. I am so excited.

And now I must keep the challenge going and this is how it works:
The first three people to comment on this post {who would like to be involved in the Pay It Forward Challenge} will receive a handmade gift from me. All you have to do is keep the fun challenge going by agreeing to create three handmade gifts for three more people, hence the term "Pay it Forward".


So what are you waiting for?

my little hunter


watch out hunters, there is a new HUNTER in town..... fred took lauren hunting saturday...her first dove hunt. fred has not been hunting in years then all of a sudden he is stocking up on ammo and getting his hunting license...and there is lauren wanting to go along with Dada to kill some birds. she was all GUNG -HO till she noticed that she had to walk, and walk alot. she had a great time and her fanny pack was full of toys and snacks.
she is looking forward to duck season. and she is already asking is there is a rabbit season....i told her rabbit season is after the first frost and you have to eat what you kill. so she is not keen on killing anything anymore, but i think if fred brings home a dove she will try it.
she has to wait till she is 8 i think to go thru hunters safety....wonder if she will be still a hunter at age 8? time will tell, but i love this picture of her....
