Things 'n General

Share the Love!

I spent the money to have my own domain name and joined/paid for TypePad, one would think I'd update my blog more than once a month!  Which was my plan all along!

So what is new with me?  Work has gotten really busy......it took off in late November and we have been slammed ever since.  We had the best February on record with 97 appraisal orders!  That is a record!!!  Looks like I'll be going back to an 80 work week, now if it just continues.

Still loving my laptop, but I think it has picked up a bug.  Can no longer play my SIMS2 on it and the cursor jumps "away" when typing a post or document............frustrating, I'll be typing something in one spot and it appears in a different one!!!!!  Skip keeps saying I'm hitting the "mouse" pad on the keyboard, but I'm not.  I have a 17" keyboard, I'm no where near it!  One minute its here and the next it is THERE.  SO, I'm going to have to break down and "restore" it.  Then reload everything!

I have 11 coupons for 50 free photos from Shutterfly that need to be uploaded, that will be done on the BIG computer!  If not it will take an eternity.

For 2009 I have scrapped 2 pages, did one digital LO, which honestly wasn't a LO, I just dropped the photos in and a little journalling.....that's cheating in my opinion.  But I am going to count it so it looks like I'm doing something :-)!

We did take our trip to Walt Disney World, as noted in an earlier post (I think) and I've got several Scrapbooking Retreats planned, booked and counting down!

The group I scrap with will be meeting at least every other month and I am at least scrapbooking at least once a month at Archivers, whether it be a "Scrap Mania" or their new monthly Sunday Crops.

Now I think I'll go print out the challenges from the OSU message board for the on-line cyber crop so I can take them with me tomorrow to do at Archivers where I'm going to meet up with some of my pals!

Here's a photo from the son's last visit!

Wow it's been almost a month.......

Since I’ve posted.  So what’s new in my world?  Really not much just work, no scrapbooking although I am looking forward to a day crop on 2/1.  Yes, I know it’s the Super Bowl day, but I’m really not interested, the Colts aren’t playing!

Disney World was beyond FUN and I have the pictures to prove it, now just need to get them printed and scrapped!  I now have enough material for the next year.  I’ve posted tons of pictures on my Facebook page, if you are the friends list you can view them there.  I’m still working on getting them on the blog.

Booked my flight and reserved the rental car for my trip to San Antonio in June, looking forward to seeing the gals I met in 2007 and making new friends.  Skip has graciously given me a few of his Marriott reward points so I’ll not be staying at the same hotel as the gals, but it’s possible that, this is a good thing.  Plus, one cannot turn down a free hotel stay!

It looks like I'll have 2 major retreats I'm doing, June and of course our annual retreat in July.

The M&Ms are well and so is the hubby, even tho his family is still giving him fits.

The boys are good too, as can be seen here, playing in the packing from all the boxes we received the week after we got home from Disney.

Alex stopped by tonight to use my PC and share a meal, it was good to see him, he’s still working on getting his life together. 

Jen and family are moving next weekend to their new home in Virginia Beach, they bought a sweet little house, she’s going to have fun updating and renovating I’m sure.

Guess that covers it for now, more soon.
