I Told You So.

ever want to tell that to someone, especially your children? OMG. i wanted to tell that to Markie sooooo bad last night. should of. probally still will. lol. so she HAD to color her hair. now i have been giving her soooooo much money, she is breaking me. first i have to pay for her car payment cause she doesn't have a job, but i have to pay insurance and gas and whatever else. she is killing me. i say no. she comes up with somehting else. anyway she wanted to dye her hair. i said i wasn't gonna pay for her to get it done at a beauty shop. sooooo she went to walmart and bought a bottle of color by herself. i told her it was WAY to dark, but she was smarter than me and did it anyway and now her hair is BLACK, very black. she hates it. i won't pay to have it fixed by a hairstylist. sorry. but damnit i told her so. and i was like OMG it is BLACK and she says, don't make me feel any worst i know it's black. but it is. i wish i could say 'she may listen to me now', but she won't. no way. lol. so i can laugh. and i will. cause i am a evil mom!!!! lol

i did pay for her to get her hair cut and eyelashes waxed. she then went to the colvers (did i spell that right?) job interviews before she dyed her hair. they were very nice and i hope she gets the job. there were not very many people there about 5 and they were gonna be there until 8 and again on saturday. it would be cool, then we could go there and eat alot. they have the best food. their new location is on kingshighway sort of by taco bell. they will open the end of september first of october. i talked who i think is the owner for several minutes and he was very nice. he was from way up north somewhere. say a prayer she's gets a job!!!!

Man what do i do. i want to go camping this weekend, my cousin and her family are going and the weather is gonna be awesome! but we need to do stuff around the house, and i want to go crop pink. but it is gonna be gorgous out. what to do, what to do. uggggggghhhhhhhhh.

Scrap Pink

Are you going? I can't wait. i have my table decoration in my head. i just have to get it done! Rona said on her Blog today that she has more prizes than attendee's so that sounds like you had better sign up!!

all these clouds and very little rain. i wish it would just rain a slow nice cool rain for about 24 hours. the plants need it, my car needs washing and then maybe it turn cooler! i am afraid we are gonna go from steaming hot to coat cold. i hate that!!! i want a nice weekend where i can work out in my yard :O (for those of you who know me, that is a laugh! but i really need to get some things done!)

My friend who is adopting from Guatemala should be bringing her sweet, adorable baby girl Grace home on friday. i got a email from her yesterday and she is officially reconzied in the US as therese and jared's baby girl!!! if you know anyone who has adopted you know that it is a really long grueling process. I know it is needed, but geez. they have been waiting over a year. i just try and keep thinking it takes 10 months to have a baby so this is not much longer, it just seemed longer cause Grace was born on Sept 22 2006 (amanda's birthday!) and we have been seeing updates of her for a year. I can't wait to meet her. WOW!

Well i had my first photography class last night. the instructor was awesome. i felt like he was talking to me and he talked in terms i could understand. i'm so excited to be actually learning about my camera. that thing is alot smarter than i knew, and it can be alot more complicated if you want it to be. i didn't go to bed til after 1030!!! and i feel pretty good today! lol

well i'm ALMOST off this awful drug efexxor. i hate it. hopefully it will only be a couple more weeks. i feel like i have missed a whole year while on this medicine. i want my energy back. i don't want to sleep all the time. but i also don't want to be a b!%&* either, lol. i am working on it. i hope my family is patient with me.

another thing i am going to work on is wearing my cpap at night. Dr G seems to think that is my problem and if i can get some good nights sleep, i will be a whole different person. i'm sure he is right. i just hate wearing that thing. i don't like anything out of the ordinary, esp when i sleep! BUT i am gonna work on it, i promised myself.

sorry another long, boring post!

Rain?

are we gonna get some?? i know we got alittle, the concrete looks 'damp'.

ok i have to say this before i win the random drawing on the rusty pickle blog so you don't think my opinion is swayed in any way (lol, like i'll win!) but i am really liking their new stuff. don't get me wrong, i have always liked their stuff, but i am REALLY liking the new stuff. and the new acrylic albums, yum!!! i sure wish rona would get the ones she ordered in. they are toooo cute. and the small ones will be oh to cute for ornaments!!!! i need to ask her if she has heard from them!

Monday, Monday

remember that song? lol i hate mondays. that means i have to go back to work. and here i am. i want to go part time sooooo bad. i am just now working on mark, telling him all the advangtages to it. all he cares about is the disadvangtages, lol. see i would like to go part time after the wedding. that is my goal. i need to work and make as much for that as i can. and i will be at sfmc 25 years in february. and that means i get a retention bonus. yeah!!! i really do have a job with great benefits. it's just coming here everyday when i could be home scrapbooking and all that cool stuff! i have a goal and i am working towards it!

Tomorrow night i start my photography classes at votech. i'm excited about it, and it will bring me one more step towards my goal. i want start photography. just small stuff (ohhh idea just popped in my head!) like toddlers and hs seniors. that is my interest! no weddings (to much pressure!). a girl i work with is taking them too, so it should be cool. she has a canon rebel too. i am still dreaming of winning that 30D from coke. yeah right. lol

My aunt from arizona was in this weekend. got to see her and it was a fun time. haven't seen her since my uncle passed away SIX years ago. seems like forever ago. Her granddaughter is the one i was gonna go to the wedding to in cali. she had pictures and it made me sad that i couldn't be there, but happy to see my cousins, if only in pictures! it looked like a beautiful wedding. i sooooooo wish i could of went. such is life!

so i did get some scrappin done this weekend. i played a bit and had some fun. can't wait for the Scrap Pink crop this weekend. should be alot of fun. i did two pages for prizes or whatever and i'm gonna do some kits too. I used the new prima sprites flowers. they are soooooo cool. i wanted to work on my recipe lunch box using the new bo bunny sunflower paper, but i didn't. maybe i will bring it with me to the crop. i'm gonna use my basic grey lunch box that i have had like FOREVER! i love the new bo bunny paper too. sooo much fun!
I've got to get my classes for the october retreat done too, it will be here SOON! i have the ideals, which are: a 2 hour class doing a double page of Fancy Pants, a 2 page 3 bugs layout and you get a whole page of alpha's with it, a inspriation notebook (this is gonna be a cool class. i made one of these about a month ago after seeing angelia's and thought "i should that" and i did and i'm hooked! trust me, just trust me! lol) then a 2 page dream street lo using sweet confeciton and last but surely not least a 2 page lo using the rusty pickle pink and black paper (i hope there is some left!) at least i have my idea's so it shouldn't take me very long to get them done.

don't forget to mark your calendars for the next small town girls retreat on Nov. 10th. it is gonna be awesome!!! for my class i am gonna do a event calendar. i can't wait!!!

wow, this turned into a long post!!!! i think i better stop for now~~~

have a great day!

Long Time No Talk!

sorry about that!!!! the retreat was a blast. tiring, but a total blast!!!! we got alot of idea's for the next retreat. it should be bigger and better!!!

i was off today and got very little done. took Chloe to petco, she loves going there. she is so funny. of course she had to poop right in the middle of a isle. she gets so excited!! got her a new squecky ball and she is in heaven. she loves the squeak!!! she's a princess!

then i went into target for a few seconds and left her in the car, it was sooooo pretty today. of course she barked at everyone who walked by. help me, help me. but i was only in there a few seconds and i got FOUR bags of stuff from the dollar spot. they had the red dot stuff on 75% off! OMG!!! good stuff, good stuff!

stopped by the shop and trying to get my fancy pants class together. me and nikki are gonna do a all day fancy pants retreat, don't know when yet. we planned it at cha and still have to finalize it.

didn't get much done at home, this medicine is kicking my butt. i just want off the stupid s*%$. it is making me hurt all over and feel just uuugghhh.

i did get the nasty refrigerator cleaned out and some clothes done. i started on amanda's room, it is awful! she left it a mess and dirty. can't say much, cause i probally did the same thing and my mom wanted to kill me too!!! lol.

I got email the other day from a lady who was soooo nice. i get the email for the shop cause rona gives my email addy for the yahoo group. anyway she was sooooo nice and was saying how great a store rona has. that was way to cool!

geez it's almost 7pm and i have nothing to cook for supper. no meat. what am i gonna do. mark will be home in 45 minutes and i have nothing!!! lol. hhhhmmmmmmm.

well i work tomorrow then off for 4 days!!! yippppeeeee. the reason, as markie reminded me was we were going to go to california and we should be there right now.
:(

And the Winner is

Brooke! Congrats!!! thank you all for posting to my blog. now i feel important, lol. i had a girl here at work draw a name while me and Nikki watched. soooo as soon as they come in Brooke i will leave your shirt at the shop.

and it's kinda funny, i signed up for Facebook yesterday, just because i read about it on 2peas. and who was there that was from my contacts, but Brooke and Penne. of course i don't know what i'm doing on there yet. it's says i'm from brumuda. heck if i have to be from somewhere else it might as well be a cool place!!! lol

so i was telling how i made up those bridal shower invites the other night. well today i get a call from my aunt and she says she's pissed at me. oh geez, what have i done now, lol. well it seems i left the guts (you know, the info- who, what, where, when) out of the inside of the invite. oooppppsss. lol we laughed. i said i was glad it was her and i hoped no one else got one like that!!!

Well the reality that Amanda is finally moved out has hit. not a bad thing, just i feel old. Markie feels like a only child. i'm thinking she kinda likes it. Her and Amanda do get along alot better. lol her room is still a mess, but after this saturday i'm goin in and cleaning it out!!! then look out! lol

Well only 2 more sleeps til the retreat. i had better get moving on some of the stuff i have to do!!!!

AND...............

If you don't have a google acct, just drop me a email that you have read my blog. no biggie!!! i'll put you in the pot! now there are only 5 responses so far, well 7 but 2 of them don't count, can you guess who those 2 are? lol they are goobers.

so last night i made about 25 bridal shower invites and got them all done, yippeee! they are for my cousins daughter, who is like a niece to me. she is getting married the end of october. no one had told me about hte shower so i had to call my cousin, her actual aunt. not sure if they had tought about it or not. my aunt (her grandma) usually takes care of all that and she has cancer (and is doing great!) and i didn't want to bother her with it. she was gonna have it at her house and i said NO. NO way. so i get to organize it, which i just sorta took it over, i'm just that way! lol i love organizing stuff, really i do. that is why i'm loving the planning of amanda's wedding. and i like seeing how much i can get for less money! to much fun! so that was my evening. oh and making supper. fun! oh and arguing with a 16 year old. she is so, so, so, ugghhh!!!

i did get to see Becky, Rona's sister yesterday. Rona's Mother's husband passed away over the weekend and Becky and her 2 daughters came home for the funeral. Becky is the sweetest person, much nicer than Rona, lol. (can you hear her saying "HEEEEEYYYY", cause i can! lol) Becky says she is going home on saturday, but i think she should stay until sunday so she can come play with us on saturday! soooo if you see her at the shop, tell her that!

ok i have a rant. why is it that when i NEED something i can not find it. like a bone folder, last night for the invites. no where to be found. i KNOW i have like 2 of them, but could not find either of them. ugghhhh. but i did find some glossy accents--two whole bottles. Never mind that i just BOUGHT a new bottle last weekend cause my bottle was almost empty. do you know how long that stuff lasts? like FOREVER! I HAVE TO CLEAN AND ORGANIZE MY SCRAPROOM. it is awful. now i am off next thrusday thru tuesday cause i was gonna go to california for my cousins daughters wedding, but now i'm not, so maybe i should take off and organize my room. AND i have amanda's empty room to put stuff in while i work in my room. maybe i should take everything completely out and start ALL OVER!!! hmmmm. better think on that one!

I can not believe that the Small Town Girl (stg) retreat is this weekend. i can't wait. it is a dream come true! lol i really enjoy planning things and this has been fun. i hope everything goes off as i want. you know i love watching those shows on tv where they plan parties, weddings, ect. i watched some this weekend while we were camping. (yes we take the satalite!) i wish i lived in a bigger city where i could do it full time. oh well, i do like small town living too.

so did you have a great weekend? we went camping at Sam A. Baker and had a blast. the weather was just awesome. Sunday it started getting hot again, but friday and saturday was gorgeous! we even built a fire to keep warm at night! i love camping!!! i even took my scrappin stuff and did alittle bit. i made a name tag that we'll use for the stg retreat. pink and blingy!!! check it out on the stg blog http://smalltowngirlswithbigideas.blogspot.com/ . also the amazing Nikki took pictures of the projects and they are also on the stg blog. If you haven't signed up yet, it's not to late!!! we are gonna have a blast! sign up for as little or as many classes as you want.

ok since i now know that some people are actually reading my blog (you told me at the retreat! lol) i want to hear from you. sooooo I have a RAK to give for one lucky poster. all you have to do is leave me a comment here on the blog . tell me whatever you want, i don't care. soooo what is the RAK you ask? a cool t-shirt (size xlarge) from the STG retreat!!! ok, make yourself KNOWN!!! who knows, i might even do one on the STG blog too! i will give you til tomorrow at 3pm to post and i will randomly choose by drawing a name.

Have a great day!
