Last day of January

A lot of the scrapbook organizing got done today!  Woohoo!  Not done enough for a photo, ha.  Also did bathroom and vacuumed.  Feels good and "normal" to clean.  Gotta get off to bed so I can get a jump on the day before it gets a jump on me ;-0

Crime Scene Tape Part 2

Here's my project for this weekend.  May I regretfully say that it looks so much worse in real life.  ;-)

Things are tough all over

Before the kids and I went to movie night at their school, we went to Burger King to get kids' meals.  I got one too, and when I opened the wrapper, this is what I saw.

I was so surprised about it, I couldn't even eat it.  I decided to take a picture of it, post it here, and let Burger King know I'm very sorry about their tough times.  I really hope this was just a case of me getting the wrong size burger or the wrong size bun.

Various

With this post, I'm caught up on all my online connections: Twitter, Facebook, myspace.com, and here at the blog. Uploaded some pix on myspace; they were kinda old but ones I liked.  Speaking of pictures, I'm going to take some more closeups of the kids this weekend.  I'm not that good with the zoom lens yet.  I need more practice!

Hope everybody has a great Friday!  I'm having lunch with Chris (sans all children), and I'm looking forward to catching up with her.  :)

Best Wishes for Conan O'Brien

I know this bit about Conan O'Brien has been making the rounds, but I wanted to make sure nobody I know missed it.  This was from his sign-off on the last night of The Tonight Show.

Conan's Farewell

He has so much class and such a positive attitude. It's contagious. What he said really touched me, and he is absolutely, totally 100% spot on.  To repay the favor, I'm sending him an old Irish blessing:

May the most you wish for, be the least you get.
May the best times you've ever had be the worst you ever see.

=)

Squirrel Rescue

The teacher assistant at the kids' school found a baby squirrel on the ground at their playground.  She's been trying to feed it and help it get stronger.  Of course, all the kids are into helping their tiniest new friend.

JS took his camera to school and took these pictures.  I thought it was very appropriate to see the squirrel resting on the "universal hospital new baby blankie." 

The Shower List

I've been encouraging the kids to write down the steps to develop routines for different parts of their day (before school, after school, bedtime, etc.).  Miss CG shared her "Shower List" with me.  Hope it makes you laugh, too! 

My turn to call

No matter who I'm thinking about, it's my turn to call them.  *wink*  Since I found the energy to put the Christmas stuff away, now I've been cleaning (nesting, rearranging, or upgrading Feng Shui, whatever it's called).  It's working pretty well for me--not so much for the people I haven't talked to.

The kids didn't have school yesterday, but our office was open.  I'm not sure I ever understood how mothers who work get all the stuff done that needs doing!

I've got a photo of a list that Caroline made that I want to scan and put up.  Maybe tonight after my 8:00 pm date with the new boyfriend, LMAO.

Jan 18 2010

Quickie post to let everyone know I am still alive, but not alive and blogging, LOL.

Finally got the holiday decor back into the garage.  Whew!  A couple more days and I woulda just said, hey, leave it till December ;-0

Turning in early despite new shows on must-see-TV tonight on CBS.  I'll get them online, or catch them when they come back around.

Night, peeps!

Scrap Sneaks

I feel a little silly calling the post "sneaks" when it's really only a preview of scrapbook layouts I've been getting ready to finish for about 6 weeks.  No new product or any scrappy goodness to share, lol.  I'm tickled that I've gotten pretty close to actually finishing some pages. 

One of my girlfriends gave me this teensy red vellum envelope!  So adorable!  She bought a purse and it was inside one of the pockets.

Tomorrow is Friday, so it's going to be a happy day. :)
