over forty, fat and....

HOT. Okay I said it, there. He shakes his head as he asks if I am still hot, knowing darn well what the answer will be. My feet temparture are always 102* I swear. It is summer. We have air conditioning for a reason...ME, right?

There are 18 layouts stacked up on my desk awaiting titles, journaling and embellies. I work them all at once, in steps. Best way for my creative juice flow...it seems to go in waves, from design to journaling, etc. Should be done with most of them this weeked!

My new goal of facing my demons has got me crying, but I am working on being real with myself. Admitting being irresponsible, coming to terms of precussions and finding solutions are the ahrdest things in life. But, they need addressed to move forward. Gee-whiz....after this paragraph I may need to change the title of my blog from happy, happy, joy to gloomy, gloomy and sad. hehe

well back to my craft desk and watching a rerun of Stark.

have fun and stuff,
Linda

I don't wanna

That is right, I don't wanna go to work tomorrow. This is not a hissy fit yet, but...the same ole same ole is getting to me. This dilemna of not wanting to finish a full week always happens after a shorten week due to a Holiday. If I stay home ...I will clean the house, find a new bank (mine is crazy) and ok, who am I kidding...I am gonna scrap! That is, if I stay home.

I am sooooooooo proud of myself, so far it is going on two weeks now that I have been doing my hair and wearing makeup, a full face too. I feel like a woman, da-da-da-dada, da! Been buying Avon products from a girl at work. Have you tried that plump the lips stuff? They had a sample and I tried it....my lips were so soft and I could see them "plump" right in front of my eyes. The only bad part of it was, I wanted to kiss someone and was at work. No willing candidates there.

By the way----here is to no more worrying, just getting things done. Fonna face my demons, head on with everything I have.

Weird thing happened this weekend. Well not weird, WEIRD, but weird. I woke up one morning and said "Hello, Mr. Blow Pop" Kevin woke up and said what??????? Giggle, giggle, giggle. no comment

OK, that is enough and it is getting way late here. Gotta get to bed, just in case I do go to work. Hmmmmmmm, does my throat feel scratchy? Why do my ears hurt? he he

have fun and stuff,
Linda

I have been tagged?!?!

I've been tagged by Angeltown one of the awesome studioWERX Street Team members! and the weekly thread starter of scraplift challenges at 2peas.
The rules:Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves.People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules.At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names.Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!
1. There is always a television (or 2) on from morning to night here. During the day it's on for our dog, otherwise she would bark at every tiny outside noise.

2. I am near the end of my scrapbooking. The pages to finish are ones that ones for a BOM and Heritage ones, which I plan to scan and print to make books for my children/grandchildren. My urge of joining the art club around here and going back to my first love of drawing/painting are getting very strong.
3. My knees hurt. My back hurts. Why didn't someone tell me that in your late 40s your bones hurt?
4. I got an eye infection last May and have worn glasses ever since, which I am not happy about.
5. Lately, woman have noticed my nails. They are my real, simply maincured nails, same ole same ole for 30 years. Why all of a sudden am I getting compliments?
6. I want a better camera so bad I can taste it.
7. The again, I want it all and I want it all now.
OK... so I will post as I add my 7.

Another Friday, emphasises on Another

hello!

wow with my lsat post dated the 5th ...I have alot of catching up to do. Work is slowing down, or the ringing of concerned consumers are and I had a birthday last Friday, one I will rememboer for a loooooooooong time.

Somehow my family pulled of a surprise party for me. I was stubborn and made them wait for me an extra 15 minutes as I said goodbye to co-workers as they ate breadsticks and cheese at our favorite Olive Garden. Btw, try the mixed grill, YummmmmmmmmmmmmmY. I bought myself NEW BRAS. No more hanging, sagging and shaking in the middle for me. he he AND, I am now an offical cellphone owner. YIKES. I am connected.....

I saw a post on 2peas from someone and they said they realized they will never get published. It seems like this is also my fate. Too late, not good enough pics (need a $1000.00 camera) tricks up my sleeve(like a magician) and great journaling (like a sweet talkin' politician). It ain't gonna happen folks. Plus, I am almost caught up with my scrappin'. Totally exciting to type that. I still have to sort through some of the heritage pics at moms, keep up with the newest pics of the grandkids, but all in all in 2 1/2 years, and an estimated 600 pages, life is good and documented!

Yes, I mentioned 2peas in my blog. Been there a long time but, never participated until recently, due to Angeltown and her weekly scraplift challenges. I had no idea how challenging and yet so fun it would be. Thanks Angeltown!

Tomorrow has promises of clear skies and boat rides.
