Paper cupcake holders

I got a picture of some unique paper cupcake holders from this website but I couldn't find the link directly to them.  Aren't they gorgeous?  If I can find them, I'm going to try to order some.  For those who are getting cupcakes in the near future  ;-)

Someone is 18 today :)

Happy Birthday C.M.G.! May your special wishes come true..... Hope you have a wonderful day.  xoxo

MAGIC

Wed 5.26.2010

I know I've been MIA on the blog.  I scoured the photo folders to see if I had any unposted pictures to balance out the long stretch between this post and the last.

I'm really loving my class. I'll be starting book 2 this weekend.  I think I've decided on my research paper project. So I'll be doing a little - gasp! - research on it.  Cracking myself up here....

I'm a lot busier these days, and somehow I seem to be getting more done. It'll be be nice when the kids get out of school and their routine can be a little less rigid.

Right now the Magic are up by 13 against the Celtics. When we win this series, we will be the first team in NBA history to come back from an 0-3 deficit and win four in a row.  GO MAGIC!!!

Signing off now with the aforementioned photo, taken by "Daddy" -

The Time Machine

Tuesday I had lunch with one of the ladies I work with.  She's a working mom, just like me, and we were chatting about balancing career/marriage/children/life.  She told me the coolest thing and I wanted to share it.

She said her car was her time machine.  When she gets into the car, she drives to work to be Career Woman.  After work, she gets in the car and drives home..... and then she is Mamita to Baby Justin. :)

They are kept separate because of her time machine.  That way no matter where she is, she is focusing on the present and not lamenting her situation or multi-tasking to the point of exhaustion.  And we mommies and working girls know a little about exhaustion, lol.  In between, she travels in time ... in her silver car.

:)

In Front

I made this layout using pictures taken by my friend Kelly Borsheim.  It seems the picture of it has a weird sepia tint to it, but in real life the layout is gray, white, silver and black.  When I started to do the journaling, I noticed the date of the pictures was May 2003.  Ahem, who'd believe seven years could pass before I scrapbooked these photos? LMAO!  I waited to post this page until today because it's the same date as Kelly's pictures except for the year.  A little smile from the Universe on that one~

FHB trivia:  I don't like the way my hands look (never have).  But in these photos they don't look so awful, and I'm glad to have a picture or two that shows them.   'Cause I make a lot  of different things with these bony crooked fingers, lol.

Haha, no title because this is just a fluff post to do a little rambling and keep up the ole count on the ticker. 

My class last night was great!! Loved the professor, she was full of energy and had a good sense of humor.  What we're going to be talking about is a little different than what I thought from the class description, but that's okay.  I can tell I'm going to love the class.  I was sitting with the other students and we got going on one of the prof's questions, and I felt a little giddy.  Like, these are my people kind of giddy.

Dorky, I know.  =)

Still, I'm very excited about learning more about subjects I'm already interested in and which have meaning for me.  That is very UN-dorky!!!

Self-explanatory, no?  ;-}
