Friday

It is Friday!!! I went out early to run errands which took me on the far side of town. Now, unlike most of you, we have 2 Starbucks in town. . .within a quarter of a mile of each other!!! One is inside Target and the other is. . .in Target's parking lot!!! So, I hardly ever get to have a Starbucks!!! On my way home, I decided to stop. . .first time in a while and since it was early, I actually order a large Tiramisu Latte. Got up to the window to pay and found the car in front of me had paid for my order!!! Things like that just NEVER happen to me!!! So, I picked up the order behind me!!!

I do have a couple of pages that use a new product from Laitha Designs. . .

Snow-Covered

I have to admit the snow that we got is certainly pretty. . .I can't imagine what folks on the east coast are experiencing with all the snow they have had. The 8 inches that we got is manageable and certainly pretty to look at. It was a big fluffy flake snow and after it stopped yesterday, the critters visited my backyard in droves!!! There is nothing more beautiful than watching those bright red cardinals in the fluffy white snow!!!

Since we had snow, my weekend plans went out the window, but I did enjoy the day at home. . .made a pot of chili to warm our bones and scrapped off and watched the NASCAR race. Today is a huge day - Daytona 500, followed by a basketball game for the state university, and finally the Academy Awards!!! Big day!!! I have chili left and there are other leftovers that we can enjoy so I think I'll take the day off from cooking. . .that is after I make a tasty breakfast of biscuits and gravy!!! YUM!!! I do think that is my favorite breakfast food!!! While my husband was clearing our driveway and the drives of 2 elderly neighbors, I managed to get some scrapping done!!! So, here goes. . .

Wintry Weather

Well, I have to say they really missed the forecast for today!!! Yes, it is super cold, but when I went to bed last night, there was only a mention of a few "brief flurries"!!! Woke up this morning to a good 2-inches of snow!!! And, for the second time, my Amazon order has been grounded in a new city!!! First, it got caught in Lexington, KY with the snow they had there. The package was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but instead, it made it to Indianapolis, IN. . .and, you guessed it, with the snow last night, the package is spending the day in Indy!!! In the meantime, I am anxiously awaiting my books so I can make some programming changes to my spreadsheet. I figured since the version of Excel that I am using now is a good 2 versions newer (and possibly 3 versions), it was probably time to get a new reference book. Did the same with Photoshop. . .using a MUCH newer version now and there are a LOT of things that are just different. Someone asked me why I didn't just get my answers online. I still like the feel of a book and I have to say both my old EXCEL and Photoshop books have writing in the margins and Post-Its throughout!!! I definitely DO keep notes in those books!!! I am hopeful those books will be here tomorrow. . .especially with more snow in the forecast for Friday and Saturday!!!

Been busy cleaning things out again. Yesterday I cleaned the drawer on the china cabinet and found newspapers that I wanted to keep from 2005!!! It's bad when I don't get in that drawer very often, but it had become the designated "junk drawer" for the upstairs!!! Today, I cleaned out 2 of my cabinets. . .I feel much better now!!!

I have been doing a little bit of scrapping, although it seems like I'm more into cleaning as of late. . .so here goes. . .

And, with that I am outta here. We have now had about 6-7 inches of snow which means this is our biggest snowfall of the season so far and it is still snowing those big fluffy flakes that just float to the ground. It is so pretty outside!!! Think I'll go make a pot of chili. . .that sounds good and warm with a grilled cheese for lunch!!! Until next time. . .

Magical Monday

After this weekend, I sure am glad my dh will be home today. . .he had a L-O-N-G weekend at work and definitely needs a day off. His project is just about done so hopefully that will be one less thing on his plate.

With his long work hours, I did a bit of scrapping so here goes. . .

Friday Finally

I am so glad today is Friday. . .but this could be a rough weekend. My dh has a major project at work and I am hoping that it all goes smoothly for him. . .I've been there and know all too well how stressful those things can be!!!

Now if I can just make it through the day and accomplish what I want I will be ssssoooo happy!!! I do have to get groceries this morning and I am dreading that trip. It is one thing to get food for the week, but this week finds us out of those ordinary things like kitty litter, toilet paper, laundry detergent. . .I just don't like getting those things for some reason :-) Then, after that, I want to clean the bathroom. . .which entails moving a lot of stuff around, cleaning out the cabinet, yada, yada, yada!!!

Yesterday, I did find that I goofed off a bit after laundry was done, and ended up making a few pages so here goes. . .
