Wow... I can hardly believe how time is flying by. The weather has been... yucky lately. I can't get outside due to all the wet, and my lawn looks like it's starting to turn into a field. If I mow, I wonder if I can bale the 'swaths' and feed them to the cows? They might be better quality than half the stuff we got off the fields, anyway.
On to some randomness...
Yeah, life has taken a hold of me and won't let me go... good thing, right? I just haven't spent the time coming to blog, or even reading all of your blogs. I'm sorry, I try to catch up, and then I forget for a week or so and have hundreds to go through, so I haven't been commenting as much as usual.
I'm having some fun, though! We went to the local fair and it was a blast, even with the wet weather. M loved it. Bram didn't really care, though. And we all came away with colds... cough cough. Ah well, tis the season. And I've painted M's toddler bed (white won out... boring, yes, but there are so many decorating possibilities here) except for decorative embellishments, although I'm wondering if I'll get around to that. I just don't seem to have the creative juices right now. Oh, I used chalkboard paint on the back of the bookcases in our dining room... the front of the bookcases face the living room.. so it is a little more interesting for the dining room now! Now for some chalk! ;)
And I recently spent some time (and money) at Micheal's... sigh. LOVE that store. Got two packs of baby type 12x12 paper.. 48 sheets per pack. SOOO pretty. I'll have to scan some of it to show you guys (I may use the scans for digital scrapbooking as well... may not be as high quality, but the paper is SO pretty). I also got a cake decorating tools caddy... everything 40% off. And I have a 50% off coupon I can use this weekend if we go again! Whee!
Lately I've been battling various emotions... some guilt, some bitterness, some hurt, and some joy. It's been a turmoil in my head for the last few weeks. I'm not sure where I stand with myself and my emotional state. I want to sort things out a bit better before I post about them or else it may become a rant or a pity party. Not a good thing. That would be a major reason I haven't posted anything substantial in a while now. Sigh.
I started reading through a really interesting book called "The Seven Pillars of Health" that I got from a garage sale a long time ago. There are a LOT of interesting tidbits in this novel that I hope to post about eventually... mainly outlining my own experiences on the matter. Really... if you see this book for cheap, pick it up.
Oh... and I'm addicted to Petville and Super Mario Galaxy 2. I've defeated Bowser now, and am now trying to collect the last 3 or 4 comet medals, and 3 or 4 stars... I like to COMPLETE a game... thouroughly... haha.
I really want to start scrapbooking some more soon. I found out that I can get my digital album printed out cheaper at shutterfly.com than through creative memories (about 1/2 the price, without the sales that they have routinely). I'm also trying to do more paper scrapbooking since I have everything I need to do M's album now. Anyone else do both digital and traditional scrapbooking? I've even started combining the two...
Bram is ALMOST rolling onto his tummy. SO close. He tries so hard! And whenever he's on his tummy he kicks his legs like he's trying to crawl... and he does get around already... yikes! Where has the time gone!
Anyway, that's it for my randomness today.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

What a great idea to paint the back of your bookshelf with chalkboard paint - I would never have thought of that. Now you can change your decor every time you feel creative or simply fancy something different. Cool!
Well my goodness...you need to join Lacey and me in Farmville!!! Cause THAT my friend is where we have been! LOLOLOLOL! You don't need to tell me about addictive games ;) I know!
Goodness..I had to hunt for pictures! I NEEDED to see that baby of yours :) I haven't been around in forever. I bet those two are so big and just simply beautiful :) I know how busy it gets though Mama...busy busy time..!
What?!?! Bram is already almost rolling over? Where the heck has time gone!
I gave up on traditional scrapbooking just because digi-scrapping is so much easier for me (and less expensive, too!). Plus, I'm always changing my mind until I get a page "just perfect," and it's WAY easier to fix something if it's digital! (I say that like I'm a digi-scrapping fool over here, when the truth is I haven't done anything in months, SIGH!)
Oh, and if you're in need of a rant or a pity party... um... well... writing it out certainly helps, even if you don't show it to the rest of us. Hang in there! :-)
Hey there!
Just checking to see how your doing.
Did you ever get your wrap made?
Last we talked you were headed over the border to get fab.
Michael's, love that store.... but hubby's wallet not so much. Sigh :(
I could spend all day in there just dreaming about all the thing I'd love to do. and all the pages I'd like to scrap.
But I don't get to scrap as much in the summer. so with fall here I'm getting closer to being able to enjoy some time to do that!
Hope you had a good week!
Blessings.
