National Scrapbooking Day - Got any plans?

I am trying very hard to get my act together for National Scrapbooking Day. I have two essays to finish, one chapter to read, and two quizzes to take before Friday. If I can get that done, I can spend most of Saturday just hanging out.

Take a gander over there:

<<<<--------------------------------

I'm a Stampin' Up rep now. lol. They've got some cool stuff. And new cool stuff coming out in July. Oh! And starting May 1st, their paper packs are buy 3 get 1 free. I'm getting:

Rainbow Sherbet:

Rich Regals:

In Color:

And something for free, lol. I'm too tired to look right now. But it's a great little deal I think.

Anyway, I'm headed to bed. Dog the Bounty Hunter is on and they're are in Hawaii at the airport. I want to be in Hawaii at the airport.....arriving for an extended vacation, lol. I've said it before, I'd live there if I could afford it. I keep dreaming about it.

Alrighty, I'm off here. G'nite!

Some good news!

I spoke to my friend last night and her daughter with the head trauma is eating on her own. I guess the nurses were spoon feeding her applesauce and Gracie took the spoon and fed herself! What a great day indeed!

We are off to the Girl Scout event, Uniquely Me! It's 5 hours long, but is supposed to be very fun and informative. We'll see. My son is not happy about it. But, I personally think he'd look cute in a pink feather boa.

Alrighty, I am getting off the laptop and fixing my hair. And I'm almost done cleaning, so I guess I should spend a hour wrapping that up.

See ya!

Finished with my homework for tonight

I can't believe it's almost time for finals! Guess I better get my butt into gear, huh? Hopefully, I will pass all my classes and then, I am taking the fall semester off to focus on finding and keeping a decent job and to stop spreading myself so thin. (that's the only way I can use the word thin in a sentence about me,lol) Anywho, I only have about 3 more weeks of class. Whoo-hoo!!!

I haven't heard any news about my friend. I saw on her myspace that she's really worried about Gracie and that she misses her husband terribly. I missed an IM from her tonight too. I wish I knew where she was staying, I would try to call. But hopefully she'll try to get in touch with me again. She said the girls got their stuffed animals. I'm so glad. Kids need something to hug when they're scared. I'm still praying and if you know me, you know I'm not the praying type. Although, this past week has gotten me thinking about that a lot. Maybe I should be the praying type.

So, my hunny is gone for the weekend, softball again. And I get to spend the weekend cleaning the mess that is my house. I haven't done anything all week since I hurt my back and um...neither has anybody else. Piles of laundry, dishes, and stuff are EVERYWHERE. I'm dreading going to bed because that means I have to get up and start cleaning.

Sunday is another girl scout function. Hopefully this one will be fun. I dunno if I'm gonna stick around for it though. I will have my little guy with me and I don't think he really wants a makeover. Perhaps we will go shopping. Perhaps not. Maybe we'll just go watch a movie. We need to have some Mom & Nate time. But I need to find out how the event is gonna work before I commit to anything.

I started going to a chiropractor this week. It is unkinking me, but I need to decide if $173 a month is worth it. That would seriously cut into my fun money, but then, what more do I need to buy? LOL I have one more box of stuff, plus my Stampin' Up demo kit coming and well, I'll be almost set. One large die order from SU oughta do it. After finals are over, so after May 15th, I will have all kinds of extra time on my hands. And possibly weekends with no one home and no homework. It gives me chills to think about it.

I'm going to be on the lookout for low cost, healthy-ish meals that my family will eat. Low carb for me, but tastey for them. I wish I could stand fish, because I know it's good for me, but unless it's breaded and on a bun, I ain't gonna touch it. Even then, it's iffy. But I'll eat tuna. Go figure. The reason for this is that both hunny and I are overweight. We need to stop eating so much pasta and start eating more veggies. Poor guy, he lives on pasta. We probably have it 4 nights a week. So yeah, we gotta cut that out. Besides, summers coming. I need to be bikini ready. *giggle* (By the way, if you see me in a bikini, feel free to harpoon me).

Alright, that dreaded time is here. I just have to keep reminding myself....I have 4 boxes of un-opened scrap stuff that came over the last two day. That is my reward for cleaning my house. And if I'm really good, maybe I'll take the kids to town and see what kind of Sizzix stuff the Michaels accross town has. And get them a treat. They'll do anything for a treat.

G'nite.

It's been a week

Since that horrible car wreck. My friend Teri is so heartbroken over the loss of her husband. I can just feel it. I haven't spoken to her yet, but it's in my heart. Have you ever felt that? You just *know*. She is being strong for her girls though and helping them recover. Em is being released from the hospital tomorrow and will need a wheelchair and a walker for a while. Gracie is out of ICU and off of the ventilator, but still not awake. She is going to need a lot of specialized care for a long time. I just want to give them all big hugs and tell them it will be okay. Yesterday I sent the girls some stuffed animals from the hospitals gift shop. I haven't tried to call because this is a very tense time and Teri has many family members there to support her. I got another email that said Teri knows we've all been praying and when she's up to it, she'll start calling us.

Here is a link to a newspaper article about the wreck. Andrew is officially a hero in my book.

I'm gonna get off here because I'm crying again. Be sure to say a prayer tonight for them. G'nite.
