I hab a code in my node...

and a cough in my chest!

I havn't had a cold in while, so I guess I was due!!! Hopefully it will be gone soon. I don't want my long weekend to be spoiled with a cold!

I had my annual physical yesterday. I swear, if I were a horse, they'd shoot me! Blood Pressure is a little high, cholesteral is high, I'm over weight, I'm borderline anemic (sp?). So, I have to start eating better, getting some excercise and take pills for the anemia. I guess it could be worse!!! Actually, I know it could be, so I'll stop complaining now.

I'm on a hunt for a new bed. I had been leaning towards a Temperpedic mattress, but my friend who came with me when I was mattress shopping, had me try out an 'air bed' -- a select comfort mattress. I liked it, so I think that's what I'm going to get. Hopefully I'll be able to get a good nights sleep! And if you're wondering why I didn't take Greg with me mattress shopping -- he could sleep on a cement slab, so it doesn't really matter to him what I pick.

The long weekend is here and Greg just called me to ask if I had plans. I don't, so he said good. I guess he has plans, but he's not sharing them with me... I guess I'll wait and see! 'Romance' isn't exactly his strong suit, so this should be interesting! :-)

How many more days until spring???? **sigh**

Hey!

Don't have much to say.

It's flippin' cold out there!! My outdoor Christmas lights are stil up because I'm not going to freeze my buns off taking them down. They can stay up until spring, as far as I'm concerned! I have a big chair out on the front porch too -- and some insulation. Just call me Redneck!

I took Vicki Boutin's mini album class at the Scrapping Nook on January 17th! It was great. Learned a few neat techniques that I hope to try out again soon!

Other then that...not much happening. Have a great week!

Happy New Year!!!

I hope that your Christmas was extra special and that Santa gave you everything you asked for. I asked for a Wii and Wii fit -- and that's what I got, so I'm a happy camper!

My mom and dad came to visit for the holidays so it was extra special.

Wishing everone all the best in 2009! May all your resolutions and/or wishes come true!

Only 2.5 days...

of work left and then I'm off for two weeks! Woo Hoo!

Mom and dad arrive last Monday night and are here until Jan 3rd.

I am so looking forward to this -- and am so ready for it!

I'm done all my Christmas shopping and amost done the wrapping (thank goodness for gift bags!).

Anyways, I doubt I'll be back again before Christmas, so I wish all of you many blessings as you spend this holiday season with your loved ones. Stay safe!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Are you a Vicki Boutin fan?

If so, check out her blog. She is selling off some of her 'retired' kits and they are going at great prices.

It's a slow week here...that's all I got for now!

Have a great day!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

Woke up this morning to snow falling. It's always so nice when it's 'fresh' and light. As long as it's gone by new years, I'm good! ;-)

I attened a Jewelry Show on Sunday hosted by Vicki Boutin and showcasing jewelry made by Jen. I found 2 awesome necklaces (one which could be a lanyard - sp?-), 2 bracelets and a pair of earrings. The earrings will be a gift for a friend. If you love to wear jewelry, check out her link. She does beautiful work. For the month of December, if you order from her, there is free shipping and a free pair of earrings.

My creativity must be off for the holidays, because I have not been inspired to do anything. I got done what I *needed* to get done, but could have done more. Oh well.

I'm almost ready for Christmas. Still need to put out my outside decorations, but the inside is finished. Of course, now the cold weather is here. I should have put them out last weekend!

Enough babbling from me. Have a great day!

23.5 days left...

It's December 1st!!! Christmas is JUST around the corner!

I put up all my decorations this weekend. What a chore that was! Took 2 days and I still have to do the outside ones! However, I'm not complaining! Christmas is my favorite time of year.

I'm almost done my shopping too. A few little items to get, but otherwise I'm done! :-)

I didn't win anything with the Prima Build-A-Book contest or the Maya Road 'Home for the Holiday's' contest. Oh well. I'm happy with the work I did. I'll try to remember to post them here sometime this week.

Have a great week, everyone! Safe travels, wherever you might be headed (shopping, work, etc).
