When you go on vacation and take lots of pics... Do you try to scrap them all or just some?
I just scrap some of them. I have a habit of taking WAY to many photos. On my last trip I went to England & Scotland for 12 days. I took over 1800 and multiple Videos. Yeah ouch.. Thank goodness I took my computer with me to unload my camera frequently. I did make an 52 page 5x7 coffee table book of pictures from the trip. I have not started to scrap this trip yet.
First off.... I am in Chapter 4 of Breaking Dawn. I only started it about 9pm last night. I am moving along pretty quickly. So far it is pretty good....
Okay back to the title subject. There are two things that are constantly on the TV. 1.) The Digital switch off due in Febuary 2009. We get it.. If you are on an aentenna after that date you will not be able to watch TV. Get the stupid box so they can stop these commercials. The thing that sucks that when a hurricane hits an area we can not pick up TV stations with our battery operated TV. Real smart... 2.)The whole Caylee Anthony situation. The mother Casey has done something with that little angel. And Cindy (Casey's Mother) knows more then she puts on. Casey is not acting right. She has only showed emotions when she was being sentenced. She was more worried about her boyfriend's cell number. Why does an unemployeed mother need a babysitter. There is truly something wrong with this whole deal. The only people I feel bad for is Caylee and her grandfather. They are the true victums. Casey needs to come off the planet named Denial and confess as to what she has done with Caylee.
I know I am far behind in starting Breaking dawn. I think I am going to go ahead and stop the book I am reading and start Breaking Dawn. You know when you read a series and just read them back to back and the book gets a little stale. That is where I am. I am going to finish the chapter and start the other. I must say I am beginning to enjoy AudioBooks from Audible.com. The local radio shows are getting annoying. The DJ's voices are like nails on a chalk board. The radio stations are playing the same songs over and over again. Thank God for MP3 players and AudioBooks. I have started listening to the Bloodties Series from Jennifer Armentrout. So off to read again
I am having issues reading. I am having a problem just sitting down to read. Making the time to read. Okay I'll be back. I am going to see if I can get some pictures of the beautiful lighting storm going on.

These are the projects I have been working on all weekend. The Monogram card was quick and easy. The recipe card is another thing. I of course decided to use too many dies which I am now slowly assembling. These are for the Klub QK meeting next monday the 11th. We usually have 1 month before but with the summer they shifted them to the 3rd Monday. Now we are back to the 2nd Monday. I have 5 down and I have 9 more to make then stickle them. So let me know what you think.
I check my mail yesterday and I receieved this great message from Emily. She has nominated for a blog award. I drop by Emily's blog quite often. She has some beautiful photos and has tackled putting contacts in.
The rules for this award are:
*The winner can put the log on his/her blog.
*Link to the person you received your award from.
*Nominate at least 7 other blogs.
*Put links to those blogs on yours.
*Leave a message on the blogs of the people you nominated.
So...passing on the love...I nominate (in no particular order):
Many years ago I use to watch Mystery Science theater 3000. You know -It is about a man is trapped in space with two robots. They play a classic Sci-fi B-movies and make comments though out the movie. Well what brings this up is I was flipping through the channels and the movie was playing on HBO. I miss shows like this. It is also neat to see how far we have come in the film industry. Even the costumes have truly advanced. I had totally forgot about this show. So goofy.
Tonight I have been working on my Klub QK Recipe pages for the meeting on the 11th. I have one page complete. Only 13 more to go. I have all the die cuts cut. Now I just have to assemble them. I am pretty happy with them. I will post a picture probably tomorrow. Have a good night..
Good News.. My cholesterol is down. My total cholesterol went from 233 to 169 in 6 weeks. And no it was NOT the cheerios (I did that and my cholesterol did not budge). My ratio when from5.5 to 3.3. So the Crestor is working. I have not changed my diet anymore. So I guess this means I am stuck on it for a while. Which reminds me I need to request a refill from target.
Tonight I went to my friend Shannon's house for a home party. It was for a company called Uppercase Living. It is a company that pretty much does vinyl wall art. Very cool product. A lot of great fonts and sayings. They have a lot of pre-made sayings. And you can also create your own. Yeah I know what you are thinking. I can do this on my Cricut, silhouette or wishblade machine. Yes you can but they do not have the color vinyl selection like they do. I purchased a beautiful Create sign that I am going to put either in my bedroom or in the craft room. I was considering the "All you need is a faith, trust and little fairy dust" wall art but thought someone would think I was in sane. They have it embellished with gems. Maybe if I have a book party and then get it. I brought home a catalog to take to work to see if I could spark enough interest to do one.
Then I headed over to Books a Million so I could pick up my copy of Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyers. The store was having a midnight release party. It was pretty interesting. Lots of people dressed up. They had give-a-ways. Remember my vent about this store.. Well they were sold out before it was every released. They only had enough to cover the Pre-orders. Hello.. Don't you think other people are going to want to read this book. Maybe they did not want to pre-order it. Well this store is sold out. They have to lose a lot of business because they do not have the latest releases. It is just stupid. And now that I pull the Books-a-million site up, how can they already have 8 used books for sale when it was only released 1 hour ago???? I can not start it yet because I am still trying to finish The Fiery Cross. I need to get my butt in gear. I did get one chapter read while waiting for the release. There are 111 chapters in the book and I am only on Chapter 35. Oh man.. Maybe I will stop this one for a few to get this one down then maybe I can get into Fiery Cross. I think I read to many of the same series back to back.
I must run. It is 2am and I need some sleep. Night or Good Saturday Morning because that is what time it will be when you read this. Have a safe & fun weekend.
