a HA the wedding pics



of course part of my week...here's just a glimpse:

1. The laser printer breaking when I had 50 boxes to label that HAD to ship
2. Me throwing a hissy fit at said printer and getting paper jammed.
3. Me grabbing a pen and getting it all exploded on my hands...
4. Me grabbing my head with said hands and getting it on my face- ink that is.
5. Losing my whole long post on the wedding for my blog....ARGH
6. Riss going nutso and saying she wanted to move into her own place- she can't even remember where she put something and thinks she can live alone
7. Riss trying to quit babysitting for me and yet still wanting me to pay. Um what?
8. Fixing scanner -who knew that restoring the settings after not having it scan right for months would work.

Needless to say that's why I've been so absent....that and CHA...so the wedding was so NICE. :) I got over the fact that the coordinator was SO rude to me - and luckily for her I didn't just step out of the aisle on her runner but had to WALK on it all the way down the aisle to the crying 3 yr old to get her up the aisle for the wedding. :) I apologize now to my brother and Vicky for my butt being on their video. But i did warn the videographer that I'd have to go and do it...I just KNEW.

Anna looked adorable..the kids looked great...Mikey danced the night away. What a guy..he won over quite a few ladies hearts there.

I had fun dancing my legs off..too bad we had one family member pick a fight with his mom in front of everyone....ppl just don't know how to behave. The band was awesome...and I can't wait to see the professional pics....I have a few I'll share but not today..everyone is in the pool waiting for me and the damn alarm clock that Anna set and woke me up with this am is ringing like crazy. it's this huge number from limited too that katie's friend got her for her bday. it sucks if you ask me ;) It's loud and like a fire alarm. UGH

Peace and out...one pic for ya Ok two or three :) I love them all and you'll see some on recent layouts too.......
forget it..twice now I've uploaded two things and it's disappeared....so I'll do more later!

Having quite the week



it's been a doozy...let's hope this weekend is better...we have kev's college reunion for his friends..they do this yearly so it'll be nice to catch up with everyone and it's at a house only minutes from here so that is nice too. :) But it's gonna be 90 something and I will be crabbing i am sure! So I have lots of layouts to sneak...here's one or two with an upcoming August kit...it took forever and lots of blood, sweat and tears with the company but they finally came through with the papers! I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks...it's always fun to give them to you. I got these two layouts done today lickedty split too...using a Kim sketch and a Monica sketch..luv you both..thanks for the continued inspiration. :) I scrapped 2 layouts yesterday too..felt good...since I've been so wrapped up in CHA ordering. SIGH Here's hoping next week is better. I have half my dt coming in to stay with me..should be interesting...should I warn them that Kev's bark is worse than his bite :wink:

More sneaks from me in a bit. The next two if you are REAL nice are very NEW kits..Sept ones...whoo hoo! Even the DT hasn't seen these yet!

Blog Challenge Fab FIVE

Our first week it's to list 5 things we like about ourselves...sigh I HATE thinking about me...goes against my grain ya know? But I will try...the cool part is that we are to take our list and do a layout or two based on it..either the whole list or a section of it. Should spark my creativity!

1. My generosity
2. my hair (Yes I've finally made peace with it!)
3. that I am always willing to lend a hand
4. the love I have for my family
5. My honesty

There ya have it..only sort of like pulling teeth :)

Blog challenge #5- What Crayon Color Would I Be?

If I was a crayon what color would I be? Wow..only one color? I could be red: Fiery, fierce and bright. Or even Blue- calming, cool and happy, or Yellow- bright and sunshiny. And even some days gray- dark and tired. I guess in all honesty I am ALL colors - a rainbow....64 pack of crayons- sharp with new points on them (I'm picky about my crayons ;) I can be all colors.....for different reasons on different days ;)

Challenge #4 - Going Cheap, Slightly Damaged

For sale: A 33yr old "well-rounded" woman. Likes to get her sleep, needs help in the store usually....she's fiesty and fiery and fun loving. She comes with four dependants and only wants serious inquiries for people willing to help support those other dependants. In other words no more dependants :) She's loyal and honest and hard working....fairly messy but the cleaning people come with her. A great cook and a fierce friend....and attentive wife. No returns ;)
