Happy Birthday Mom!

First and foremost I wanna wish my mom a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love ya mom.
I spent most of the day napping as I stayed up until 4 am last night watching bad tv with Jay and knitting (okay so I probably have a little touch of OCD) . I'm making an afgan. I need more yarn so I can finish it up. Check out what I did...
After all that sleep I drug out the stuff for my Christmas tree even though I'm not really in the Christmas mood yet and I put it up. I decided that I wasn't really going to do a real theme this year so it's kind of a "white trash tree" as my topper won't stand up straight I'm a tad worried these big bulbs are going to burn down the house and I didn't put very many ordaments or tinsel on it. Isn't it fabulous...

Check out Jay...

This is Jay over 10 years ago. Don't he look so young? I did a 7 pages in the last 2 days click here to see the rest. I love this photo of him, of course I don't have many photos of him prior to when we got together so I'm sure that's part of it.

Happy Black Friday!

Did you all go shopping? I'm not one for Christmas shopping since I make all my presents but my friend talked me into going to Joanns with her today and I picked up a Nifty Knitter. So now I can attempt to learn to knit before I'm 30 - I can't wait to try it out! After hitting our one store we went to archivers and scrapped. I got 4 pages complete. I'll have to post them later first I'm off to knit.

Thankful for So Many Things....

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Here's a list of other "little" things I am thankful for...

1. Warmer Weather I haven't had to find those winter work shoes yes, and if I wear my flip flops I know that my toes won't get frostbite.
2. That the OC is finally back on the air oh this is a big high point in my week as sad as it is.
3. I'm thankful that Kim and her girls took me to see some corncrete.
4. That the mailman brought me fun mail in the form of my Scrapbook etc magazine from Oct??? (still not sure where that was).
5. That Trident decided to make a gum I like again even if it is more expensive and harder to find.
6. That my friend Jill isn't getting laid off this Christmas season, as we had originally thought.
7. Speeding tickets as now my house is cleaner.
8. My Camera Timer this is a source of amusement that I can use for hours.
9. New Scrapbook books that are straight from Ebay via my friend Jeanne I.
10. And of course I'm always thankful for the bigger things - Jay, a great family, good health, my job, my friends, my house, being american.

More Photos!

Finally I got all the photos from this weekend uploaded. Click here to view the whole collection all 132 of them! Yes that's right 132.

I can't claim them all as Syd, Sam, and Lilly too a few.

Today was a blah busy monday. I can't wait for the long weekend! Wehoo!

FABULOUSLY CORNCRETE

Well I'm still uploading all the photos I took at Corncrete with the "girls" but I could resist sharing a few shots before they are all uploaded.

This first picture I took with the timer by hanging my camera from a tree it's it super cool??

I'm Home!

I finally did make it home Thursday night just in time for the OC how great is that. With only a slight snafu where they put me on the wrong plane first and I almost ended up in Bangor Maine I'm actually a little sad that I didn't make it there as I've never been to Maine and that could have been an adventure.

Today I'm off on another adventure with Kim and her girls. We are going to Columbus Ohio to see an oversized field of corn and our friends Jen and Erin and Jen's daughter Lily and perhaps her husband too. It should be a fun time. I will share photo of our adventure when we are back tonight I'm uploading charing my camera's battery right now so I'm all set to go.

Hello from Logan Airport!

Here I am again sitting at an airport. This time I'm stuck at Logan my first flight cancelled after being delayed several times. And now I'm waiting for my second flight I'm debating whether or not to make the move and go into the city for shopping and some fun. But I'd have to haul around my laptop and that doesn't sound that appealing. But if Tracy doesn't get on her standby flight we are going to bite the bullet and do it.

I had a fabulously fun night last night. went barhopping with coworkers got to meet a few virtual coworkers too, so that's always good. Several things to note about bars in boston -

• There's a no taking your drink outside onto the patio rule.
• No shots allowed after celtics games because we might be fighting.
• Boston Beerworks only serves beer and wine no hard liquor.
• And because there's no alleys behind the buildings (at least I imagine this is the logic) the bars just pile up the trash on the streets. it's kind of gross all the mounds of trash by the road. - ah big city life

Well I guess I better check some emails before my batteries die.
