Weekend of Scrapbooking

2009-11-10T14:02:00.003-05:00

Well, actually I should call it a weekend of card making! lol Because that is what I did. I actually got a lot done too. Which not only surprised me, but my friends as well. I dont usually get much done for one reason or another. Like talking!! I had CTMH stamp of the month swap cards to make, DONE. Then I had taken a bunch of stuff that was kind of cut and bagged and just waiting to be finished up. Like extra swap stuff or classes and what nots. Finished those too! Made a bunch of christmas cards, thank yous and a box of just put togethers that I had won a fews months ago. I was very happy. Then I also worked on a "friend" album. Got the whole thing covered! WOW. I want to take pics then and post a just a few. No time now. Gotta go to work!
THEN Im going out to eat with bff and going to see the MJ movie. Cant wait. Girls night out...and in after dark too. We wont know how to act.

My kid in for surgery

2009-10-19T11:53:00.002-04:00

Wow, I must admit I am probably more nervous and worked up then she is. She has done this countless times before she even came to live with us, and this is only the second time with us. Its her knee, she messed it up pretty bad on Labor Day, but Drs only figured it out recently with the MRI. Now, Im sitting here in the waiting room with their WiFi access! lol What a world we live in. I cant beleive how nervouse I was seeing my little girl (16) being wheeled away to surgery and not being able to go along.
Dr. just came out as Im writing this and all went well. She is done and in recovery. Whew. Just have to wait for her to wake up now. We figrue she probably starving since she hasnt eaten since last night before midnight. We all stayed up late and made a pizza for snack!! lol She liked that too I think.

So much to tell you

2009-06-22T13:31:00.002-04:00

and I never do. Right now I am getting ready to leave for TX on Thurs. for the garfield convention. Yes, the cat! My friends here in PA and I have not gone for a few years and we just cant stay away another year. I know it is going to be SOOOO hot, but I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and playing with the orange cat some too. Since my collection is in storage, Im not planning on buying anything, unless its real special. But Im just happy to be going. That also means I am flying again!! UGH We have a layover some where in the middle to, so its like flying 4 times! lol
I also have some things that I have been making here and there and been meaning to post, but with summer and the way Ive been feeling, that hasnt happened either.
Last week was vacation bible school, so you know I did nothing else then.
Hope to catch up more often when I get back.

Sleep Apnea, CARS and other ramblings

2009-02-10T20:49:00.005-05:00

I guess I had not blogged on here about going for my sleep tests about a month ago, but I did! lol Now, I need to sleep with a mask hooked to a CPAP machine. What fun these things are. I knew it would be an adjustment and take some getting used to, but this is crazy. The first night (Tues) a week ago, I spent most of it "playing" with the mask and rearragning it. Then for 2 nights I was awakened by it spitting water UP my nose. That was real fun. NOT I keep talking to the man at the equiptment place and he is nice and helpful, but I think its hard for him to fix it over the phone and also him not having one could be a problem. I am not sleeping better and neither is my husband, in fact it is WORSE. With less sleep. And MORE naps in the daytime for me and still very tired. I am still using it and hoping that each time I learn something new that one of these nights, I will get it right. PLEASE.
I go away to a crop on Sat. and my car breaks down. We just put $$$$ into it about a week ago for some engine work and here now it wont start. I knew it was not the battery, because I had lights and radio, and of course someone had to jump me just to make sure and it didnt help. SO, we got it towed to the garage and it needed a new starter. UGH. Now, maybe that will be it for now.
I am hoping to be going on a scrapbooking weekend next weekend down to the beach. Yes, in Feb! lol Its cheaper, and Im not there to go swimming. The best part of this trip will be that my mom is going along with me. She hasnt been able to go to see the ocean in a long time and I think (know) she was having withdrawls. There is just something about feeling the oceans mists and seeing and hearing those waves crashing that gives us ENERGY!!!

Pittsburgh Girls

2009-01-29T21:05:00.002-05:00

PITTSBURGH GIRLS

A Pittsburgh girl knows just as much about football as her guy friend in some cases, even more.
She drinks beer because it tastes good but knows when to be classy and drink something more sophisticated. She owns a Steeler jersey not just because it's cute but because she supports her team and understands the game.
She loves Kennywood and isn't afraid to order cheese fries from the Potato Patch because, let's face it......... Pittsburgh girls wear winter coats and scarves a lot more than bikinis and flip flops.
A Pittsburgh girl loves St. Patrick's Day, even if she's not Irish because green beer is good for the soul. Pittsburgh girls don't have a funny accent. They just speak a different language (Pittsburghese).
The word yunz or yinz is dear to her heart. A Pittsburgh girl bleeds black and gold and knows how to have a great time, she's selectively loose! She's stylish and sweet. She has a great education and loves her friends and family.
A Pittsburgh girl goes to church on Sunday even if hung over, only to be let out by the priest early because the Steelers kick off at one.
A Pittsburgh girl might not live by the beach, but the Three Rivers are just as good! She has seen all four seasons and has a reason to love and hate each of them.
She's the type of girl you can call late at night and spill your heart out to. She's the type you can take home to Mom and Dad without worrying they won't like her. Because everyone loves a . Pittsburgh girl
If you need a girl to take to the game, she'll be there. If you need a friend to help you out, she's there. If you need a drinking buddy, she'll be there with her IC ( Iron City ) Light in hand.
So let your Pittsburgh girl know you love her! You can take the girl out of Pittsburgh , but you can never take the Pittsburgh out of the girl!!!!!

Sleep Test DONE!

2009-01-26T07:31:00.004-05:00

I had to cancel the other part of my sleep test last week because of allergies. So, I finally had it last night. What a joyous time that was. lol Last night (the 2nd part of the test) was to actually wear the machine or cpap, plus all the wires and such from the first time too. I asked the tech (Angie) a few questions last night and the most serious one, IF I WOULD STOP SNORING! She said YES! She explained to me what all was going on with my body and what this machine that would put air through my nose was going to do for it. Very interesting. Now, I have to wait for the medical store to call me to get MY machine and see what happens when I set it up at home. It wasnt quit as bad as I thought. Thought anyone wearing one would NOT win any beauty contests. I dont think my husband really cares about that at this point. He just wants me to stop snoring so HE can sleep! lol I know the girls that have to sleep with me on my weekend scrapbook retreats will VERY much appreciate it too. :) I am also hoping that I will not be SO tired during the day and maybe feel better too. I'll keep you posted.

Football

2009-01-18T22:27:00.003-05:00

Well, my poor daughter had to watch her Eagles LOSE today. BUT, luckily I LOVE the STEELERS and we just WON!!! WE are on our way to the SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!
It would have been cool for my state of PA to have both our teams there. I was afaird to watch the whole game, sometimes I think I jinx them when I do. SO, I just kept checking the score and then watched the last quarter. Whew. TROY P....whatever his name is is awesome. I always just think of him as the hairy guy! Lol SOrry. It was kinda scary watching that guy get taken off the field on the stretcher. He was able to move, so hopefully he will be just fine. What a way to end their game.

GOOD LUCK STEELERS!!!!!!!

Going for Sleep Test tonight!

2009-01-09T13:34:00.003-05:00

OH my! So, just about everyone knows I snore, and terribly LOUD too! SO, not only is it NOT good, Im losing sleep and not feeling well. Plus falling asleep all the time during the day. I went to my Dr. the other week and then went to the specialist and tonight go sleep some where else all hooked up to wires and what nots for a few hours so they can see what really is going on. Then, I think they wake me at like 6AM and I can come home! lol Its Sat. for petes sake!! I will probably really have to come home and take a nap then! lol The 2 funny things they didnt want me to do today, was take a nap and NOT drink caffiene!!! Are you crazy? Well, I DID fall asleep and nap, but I am trying NOT to drink the caffiene. I have to go back again next Friday night, so I will let you know what happens.
SO, I pay some bills, and want to go out and put them in the mailbox before I forget. It has been raining so much here, but today its ok. WELLLLL, I didnt get too far down the yard and its REALLLLLLY mudddy...and ON MY BUTT I GO!!!! lol Oh geeezz. Then trying to get UP in that mud mess wasnt so easy either. YUCK!

Another bitter sweet day

2009-01-02T16:38:00.003-05:00

Well, the day was actually yesterday....The other year (2 I think) a friend of ours was gonna go be a truck driver and had to be on the road for like 2 months just to train. SO, we kept his cat while he did so. Till it was all done, he didnt want to be an over the road truck driver any more!And he wanted his cat back!! It was almost Christmas and she was just fitting in here and we didnt want to give his cat back! lol SO, we kept Oreo. Well, after all this time, our daughter has pretty much picked on her and made her mad. Oreo started peeing in HER room on HER cloths and bedding!!! NO where else. Just HER ROOM!!! We have 2 other cats, but I guess the are not as hyper or something. Well, in the best interested of the cat, we decided that she should go back to the friend! Lol THis POOR cat! SO, New years day, we took her back. OH, did I mention, in the meantime, that friend got another cat too? lol SO, now he has 2 and we have 2!!!! lol SO, we will miss Oreo very much, but think she will feel better there and calmer. He has no kids, so she should like that again. :) Heres to my fluffernutter

Just Finished "A Page Out of Life"

2008-11-10T22:23:00.003-05:00

So, this was one of our gifts at the Fiskateers event. Kathleen Reid the author of A Page Out of Life came and talked to us, shared about her book and then gave EVERYONE a copy!!!!! With going away this past weekend, I didnt get to read as much as I wanted to, but finally did get to finish it today. Did I like it? YES! Now, I will have to hope and wait for another one! This isnt just another scrapbooking book, this is about a bunch of woman who meet to sb and help each other out with not only their pages and art, but their LIVES! Its amazing how it all kept going. WOW! It was a nice read and I enjoyed it alot and am SO glad that I got to meet Kathleen.

Thank you

Fiskafriendzy

2008-11-05T17:04:00.003-05:00

Fiska-WHAT? you may ask. Well, if you do any crafts at all you probably know the company Fiskars. Right? A few years ago they started something called Fiskateers. You go to a website, sign up and have a BLAST! lol No, really. You meet lots of cool people, sometimes get free stuff, share your projects and NOW, a bunch of us got to meet!!! There are like 4 Fiskafriendzys that will happen and ours was right here in Hershey, PA!! Chocolate and scrapbooking, How COOOL!!
SO, besides meeting a bunch of great people, and getting a TON of coooool great products, and some chocolate of course, we also had a author of a new scrapbooking book, and we ALL got one!! It was such a great day. Did I get any work done? Well, not so much, but thats OK! lol I meet lots of nice women, had a great time, played with Fiskars products, ate chocolate and came home with a load of stuff I didnt have when I left in the morning! Lol
ANYWAY, go check it out.

Ribbons from Fair

2008-09-30T19:24:00.005-04:00

Well, I keep taking pictures and wanting to write things here and then just never do. BUT, since I entered two cards in our local fair (Denver, PA) I just had to share my ribbons. This was the first time for me to enter so imagine my surprise when they both won!! They have had a scrapbooking catagory for a while now, but I dont know when they added the card catagory.

Anyway, I havent scrapbooked in soooo long, but I have been making cards, so I decided, what did I have to lose. Anyway, here they are. A first & second place!!!

WOW, what a day!!!

2008-08-25T21:31:00.003-04:00

OK, so its the FIRST Day OF School around here. We got through that. It also then means back to work for me ( Im a crossing guard) no big deal there either.
My BIG order of all new CTMH stuff comes, hubby comes home, supper......no big deal. THEN, my daughter was outside and said that the neighbors dishwasher was ON FIRE. OMG>...Im running out of the house wondering what the heck shes talking about, my friend (the neighbor) is outside all upset, her hubby comes to the door and says "Its Out"! Its ok!! Oh my gosh!!!!!
SO, she was home, making dinner and running the dishwasher and he had just walked in with their son when sparks and fire were flying out of their dishwasher!!! She didnt know what to do, called 911, grabbed a cat and ran outside!! Thats when my dd had come to get me. WOW. SO, of course the WHOLE entire town was here then. The police car, the fire guy, then TWO fire trucks!! Must of been a boring night in Denver! lol Luckily we live real close by too. SO, everything and everyone is Ok. The dishwasher is OUT for the trash or Insurance people or whatever. When they brought it out and we looked inside the dishwasher to the start of the fire, it was SCARY!!! Just glad them and their house and their animals were all ok. Scary thing.
NOW, its bedtime!!!

Cell Phone stuff

2008-07-20T12:20:00.002-04:00

I just have to say, the stuff I thought I would never use on a cellphone!! SO, a few months ago you may remember I mentioned that I finally switched carriers. I went with AT&T and got a new phone. Well, most of them now have cameras. No biggy. I figure I will never use it, but its there. Well, let me tell you what IS the coooolest thing ON my cellphone now? Yup, that camera. NOT because it takes great pics, (heck, I cant even get them OFF the phone!) BUT, there is this feature called picture caller ID!!!!! HOW cool is that? Well, if you cant always SEE the name and/or the number that comes, you should be able to see the picture ON the screen!! So, at least for the people I talk to more often I take a picture and put it with their phone number, so when they call, THEIR picture comes up!!!! I really love it! lol And apparently I am not the only one. Do you know how many people have taken MY picture lately for the same reason?

Kimberlys bday is coming very SOON!!!! I am also counting the days till FL!!!! TEN TEN TEN!!!!!

CTMH convention

2008-06-23T15:34:00.002-04:00

Well, I waited for THE last minute/day/second, but, Im going to FL for the CTMH convention!!!! I can NOT believe it! I have only been begging, pleading, losing sleep over this for MONTHS. Alot of my group is going and some people on line that I would love to meet and I KNOW I will learn alot and see a lot and I just couldnt let it go. I am scared to ---well almost scared to death to fly----but someone will be with me! That may not know they may need to hold my hand yet though!! lol EEEK I just KNOW this is gonna be SO worth it. How could you not learn something for days there with business stuff, creat-n-takes and a whole bunch of other consultants? WOW. Plus of course we get to see ALL the NEW product & catalog for Sept!!!! That is just the cream on top!

I KNOW I have not posted here in a long time. I have pics and ideas and stuff going on, just have NOT done things. I am still having my headaches MOST days and now that summer is here, well its just crazy!!!! Im sure you all are busy too.
HAVE a great summer. Will try to catch up and post more later.

YUM-Lobster (WHOLE)!!

2008-05-18T10:04:00.002-04:00

So, we all went out last night for our belated Mothers day dinner. We went to the CrabBarn in Reading, PA. Mom & I wanted seafood!!! YUM My hubby will eat some and my daughter wont touch it. lol But they have land food too. Mom wanted to start off with some steamed clams. Do you know how long its been since Ive had those? Probably like 20+ years! She asked if I would eat any, and I said, I guess! lol I think I like them!! Greg even ate some!! So Im hungry and could probalby eat just about anything and everything on that menu, but I really LOVE lobster tail and you dont get that too often. So I asked what the price was. The waiter informed me that they have a special on a WHOLE lobster for like $35. Ive never had a whole one before. What do I do with it? lol He said he would help. Ok, twist my arm. So when it finally comes out (they were VERY busy) then I had to sit and stare at it because I didnt have a "cracker" and also had NO clue what to do with it. So, when he finally came back (he was trying to catch up) he showed me what to do and what all I could eat. Oh my goodness was it DELICIOUS!!!! I have never had anything that tasted so sweet and sooooo good!!! Mom even liked (yes I shared). The clams were really good too. Then I had these yummy sweet potatoes rounds with cinnamon/sugar and syrupy stuff on. I didnt need any dessert! lol None of us did. We were SO full! So it was a million dollars, so what.....you only live once right?

Mothers Day

2008-05-13T10:51:00.003-04:00

It was sort of a quiet Mothers Day Sunday around here. Which is fine with me! We will do dinner with my mom next week because of schedules and such. I was to STAY in bed. My dd loves to make something and serve it to me in bed! No problem with that!! lol Then I came down and they ate and I had a little something with them too. Later we went to Long John Silvers!! YUM. I dont get to go there very often, so that was cool. On the way was the interesting part though. I was driving and started wondering where in the world ALL these people came from?! And WHAT were they doing there? I forgot.....The Make a Wish foundation Mothers day TRUCK run!! I have heard about it for years and the local country station is usually around some where too, but I have never saw it. I am not saying its not important or a big thing, but I never really wanted to go see it. Its trucks, big deal, right? WELL, let me tell you something....It WAS a BIG deal!!!! I could NOT imagine all the people there to support it and ALL the trucks that were there too. WOW!!!!! I have no idea if this is done in other places/states, but if it is, you should go if you never have. So, here I am driving down one side of our highway, and ALLLLLL these people are everywhere.....bridges, both sides and in the middle too!!! Im sure there was over a 100 trucks, maybe more. Fire trucks, big trucks, double trucks, Even garbage trucks! With lights and sirens and everyone was waving them on!!!! How cool is that? VERY COOL. I must be getting old or something, it even brought tears to my eyes. Just that that many people (watching and truckers) would be there.
The other part of our big day.....we went to Lowe's to look at new stoves and dish washers! lol Boy, some new stuff is built pretty crappy! We need to keep looking though!!! We are working on furniture and this stuff. Its time to spend some money we don't really have, but need to spend on this stuff. Ya Know?

Stuff

2008-05-08T21:18:00.003-04:00

WOW, I have NOT posted forever. I have looked, and I have thought about what I wanted to post, but never got TO post! lol
First, I have lots of art work and stuff to share. I need to take pictures and then you all will probably get tired of seeing it! Cards, cards and more cards. With my uplines meetings and a stamp of the month swap, I have LOTS to share!!!!
I have many events coming up to this month. Every Sat. in May I have something to do that is stamp/card/scrapbook related. I cant wait!!! With my last weekend being away for the whole weekend up in the mountains for a retreat!
We also just upgraded our Direct TV and I got that DVR thing too!!! Lol Yeah, I know, we are WAY behind....but that's ok. I, well none of us really wanted to spend the money. But, for a few dollars more a month and all new free equipment, why not. I was getting VERY VERY tired of watching Disney and Nick every night and having really nothing else to watch.
TESTS... Well, Kimberly has been complaining of a pain, not really in her stomach, but above, so I took her to the Dr. the other day and we had to take her for a few tests to see whats up. She is only 14, but the doc was thinking maybe gallbladder?!?! Not sure about that. There are no other signs, but there aren't for anything else there either. We shall see. SO, since SHE had to go for blood work early in the morning and NO eating or drinking for the ultrasound, I had been hoarding blood test orders for MONTHS too and decided to get them done. We just got this whole new awesome building built that you can get all your testing done in one place at one time. Then we all went out for breakfast! lol Food is always a good thing!
ALSO, for those that I actually speak or might know, that I have been having terrible headaches for like a month now. I went to the Dr. the other week and had HIGH bp!! ME, geez, go figure?!? lol SO, got some pills and today went back after almost 2 weeks and it has come down. Whew. SO, now I guess I get to take ANOTHER pill every dang day! BUT, I am MORE so hoping that MY headaches GO AWAY and STAY away. They have NOT yet GONE all together.
We also seem to be having some issues with Kimberly at school and her lying and different things. I hope this stops real soon!!!!
I'm gonna call it a day now, but wanted to update some here anyway.
Hopefully SOON I WILL put some pictures up.

"Family Sunday"

2008-04-20T21:20:00.003-04:00

Family Sunday? Hmmm, ever heard of it? It may be a rarity in your house as it was ours. SO, we decided that starting today, NO computers from after breakfast till the end of the day! That may not sound like a big deal to you, but to us it is! My husband is usually on his laptop in the living room on the sofa and I am in another room on my desktop. Sometimes my dd would be outside, or upstairs or here with me on her computer! Yes we are lucky to have that many too! We had our own computer business for about 8 years, so it was kind of a necessity and most are old. Anyway, back to our Sunday. So, what do we do? We want to get a new sofa, so we went and looked at some today. Since is was nice out and NOT raining like it was supposed to be doing, we packed up some drinks and snacks and stopped for some subs and went up to our local Wildlife Perserve called Middlecreek (Project 70) to some of us. When we picked our spot, got our sandwiches out and started eating, it started to pour! lol but, it was ok, we quickly got back to the car and finished eating and by then it was done raining. So we drove around and looked for birds. Kim decided she wanted to ride her bike up there so she did that while we drove slowly behind her on the trail road. We came home and took a break then decided to watch a movie. One of our local libraries had their Big Book sale this past weekend and I bought a bunch of VCR movies for like 50 cents!! Cant beat that. Well, we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark!!!! Indiana Jones. WOW, what a riot that was! I didn't remember being that funny, but it certainly had its parts! With the "new" one coming out, I wanted to show my dd WHO Indy was!!! She really liked it. Maybe I should go on a hunt for the rest of them? Hmmm......
All in all, I think our first family Sunday went pretty well! We figured we have all week and every other night to do whatever and ignore each other! lol At least ONE day should be spent together. We used to do this all the time, I'm not sure how we let slip away.

You Must check this out

2008-04-17T22:04:00.003-04:00

Ok, so HOW many of you have seen the 'funny' guy dance on Youtube???? You know the one, that goes through a whole bunch of different music and dance moves in like SIX minutes. Well, it came in my email again today and of course I HAD to go watch it again! lol Its great!!!! SO, did you know his name? That he has a Myspace page? That he is an inspirational comedian?? Huh! Well, NOW you will know, because I have been checking out his pages and what not for the last hour or something! I have totally enjoyed it all to! :) Hopefully you will too.
First, his name is Judson Laipply. I visited his website and he of course has the dance evolution on it, but he also has parts from the speeches he gives. AWESOME!!! Im sure Jud will never come to my neck of the woods here in PA, but even IF he put a video out with his speech on it, it would be great!! SO many things rang true. WOW.
Here is just one of his sites. You can find the myspace one just by putting in his name.
http://www.lifeischange.com/

Well, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Bitter Sweet Story

2008-04-11T09:08:00.003-04:00

Well, this reminds me of a few months ago when I was giving like 1/2 my garfield collection away to a great friend and then later having to pack it all away and take it to storage. Its sad, but its the right thing to do.
I have a 55 gallon fish tank, stand and only 2 poor fishes left. A really BIG what I call chocolate pleco and a big silver dollar. Yup, thats it!! Two fish in a 55!!! lol Pretty lame. Well, anyway, I just can NOT and have not taken care of it. It (among other things) is very hard for me to do. So it has been neglected. I get upset, pissed off, angry and saddened once in a while and do something, but its not enough. The filters really need cleaned and the pads changed, but that is major cleaning work. I bought some new filter pads and that is as far as I got. Family to help? HA! They are busy, or NOT, but they don't want to mess with it either. I just don't want to watch the fish die. They still might with a move, but at least I wont know! Wont really be my fault for letting it get so bad either. The algae is terrible too. UGH! :( :( very sad.
The other part of it that is sad.....Greg bought me this tank & stand from a neighbor YEARS ago when we first got together! We lived in a SMALL 1 bedroom, efficiency apartment. I worked across the parking lot in a grocery store. Our neighbor was selling his tank and fish and all of it. I was drooling! He even had angel fish, wish I also loved at that time. We really shouldn't buy it....we really do NOT have any room for it, its HUGE!!!! Well, anyway, I came home from work and they had moved it and had it all set up by the time I got there!!! What a surprise. SO, that part is hard too. But, I know, we know it is for the best! PLUS, we will gain a WHOLE other wall!!!! lol I still have like a 20 gallon long or high or something weird like that downstairs. But, I think for a while now, NO more fish tanks!!!!! Sounds like the people taking are really excited! Oh, that's another thing....I'm giving it and fish away! We tried to sell it a while ago and it was either too big or too old. No one really wanted it I guess. SO, why not give to someone who needs it, wants it?!?!

Spring has Sprung!!

2008-04-10T20:15:00.006-04:00

Well, at least it is trying to. It got really nice today, like 70 degrees. I even went out this afternoon/evening and did some yard work! Holy cow. lol My hubby and daughter went away, so I didnt have to make supper or be on a schedule tonight. I went out and cleaned some things up, feed the birds, looked to see what was growing already. WOW. I will probably pay for the work I did tomorrow, but I was 1/2 enjoying myself tonight! I have a few things coming up that I cant remember what they are! lol But, thats half the fun of planting, isnt it? I know must of it, there are just a few spots Im not so sure about.

Since it DID get so warm and sunny/HOT today.....I cant wait to get my hair chopped OFF!! lol If anyone knew me before, I have had really short punky type hair for a long time. Well, now I have a daughter and she wanted to do girly things with hair so I started growing mine. She got hers CUT! lol Oh well!!! lol But, I have left mine grow and decided to get at least the 10 inches needed for Locks of Love. What a COOL idea!!!!! I should have about 11 now, so I am happy with that. I figured I would get it cut by summer time, because I will NOT be able to stand it so thick and long and HOT. I also cant take such good care of it anymore either. I hope to make someone happy with it.

I can NOT wait till Sat! I have an all day crop to go to and its NEW!!!!! I hope/think I will be the only CTMH person there. This is one my friend found in the paper (well actually her hubby!) and its for Tiny Miracles---premie babies and such. Raising money for that organizatioN!!!!! We like that too! :)

I just REALLLY need to chat about cellphones and services and such for a minute. I have been with Sprint like forever. YEARS. This last 2 yrs, NOT so good. THe dang phone didnt even work in my HOUSE!! lol How does that happen? So, for months (since summer) I knew my 2yr contract was up, so I have been asking people what phone and what service they have been using. When theirs WORKS and mine did NOT!!!
I also go up toward the State Collage area (mountains) a few times a year, and wouldnt it be great IF my phone actually WORKED?!? :)
SO, I finally decide Im gonna buy an AT&T phone. Our local Walmart does ATT, so I go there. The girl was great!!! She helped me out alot, told me what I needed to know and answered all my questions. SO, the other Wednesday I came home with a new phone. Sprint of course tried to talk me OUT of leaving them......If I had a newer phone, if this, if that...I Said NO WAY!!!!! YOu do NOT work and it didnt seem to matter about the phone.
SO, I go to the mountatins and the phone WORKS!!! All the way there, at the sb retreat and home again too! Plus, this thing doesnt need charged like FOREVER! Geeez. Its great. I swore I would never get a camera phone, but whats a girl to do when they ALL come with one?!?!? SO, I took a picture of my hubby and kid and can even do this caller picture id thing. Pretty coool!!!! Plus, I snapped a few of my kitties before I left for the weekend too! :)
Ok, gotta go watch Trace.

Blah kind of day

So, yesterday, Wednesday, was a great day. I felt good, the sun was shining....until later! lol
By the end of the night, I KNEW I was getting SICK! UGH. I have missed most of it for the longest time, but I guess it finally caught up to me. I felt absolutly terrible today. YUCK! I couldnt even really nap right because I felt so yuck! Then you KNOW its bad. lol
SO, Ive been popping cold meds and drinking oj and resting. See what tomorrow brings.

On another note. I MUST go watch the Celebrity Apprentice. TRACE Adkins made it to the end!!!! I have NEVER watched this show, and doubt that I will again, but Ive seen a few episodes and it was ok. I KNOW he will KICK the Brits Butt tonight!!! LOL Even if all else fails, its a big party and hes gonna perform at the end too. So, hopefully I can make it to stay AWAKE till 11PM!!! lol
