Some layouts and complaints

Another posting for Jenny. In West Ed mall there's a huge pirate ship and then these little boats you can drive for a dollar each. I totally sucked at driving mine, but it was fun to squirt water and make bells ring and stuff. The chipboard shapes are my favorite, they really brighten up the dark paper.

This layout is really different for me. The clusters of stuff and empty space is really not my style. I found this photo of Ryan and his mom and I think it's just beautiful. Sandy looks gorgeous, and I was inspired by the colour of her bathing suit. It came out pretty good if I do say so myself.
This one is an older one, I did back in February, but I like how simple it is. The pink paper is Autumn Leaves from last year, back when die cut shapes were just coming out. I hadn't used it because I didn't really know how. But I like how this turned out.

And finally, my complaints. Harold and Kumar 2 is the stupidest movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I hadn't seen the first, but Ryan wanted to go so I did. It was horrible. Totally racist, and totally not my types of jokes, I just don't get the stoner thing. The one time (seriously, the one time) I laughed was when Kumar made a joke about a Baby Ruth, alluding to "The Goonies". Now that is a good movie. Seriously, do yourself a favor and watch the Goonies instead, you'll laugh more.

Scrapbooking Fun

Last night I went to June's to scrapbook. Jen D and Jen S came too. It was one big partay. haha. I finished off my layout for my class I was working on, well, minus journaling, I need to think hard on that as I am writing directly on the photo and can not screw up. Then worked on some really old photos of Blair, I think he's maybe 2 in them (he's what, 9 now?.... bout time I did them). I'm going to take my album to work today I think and scan a bunch of it..... then I'll have lots of stuff to post on here.
Ryan is supposed to come home today, so I hope he does...... anyhow, I need to go have a shower or I'll be late for work.

At work

...shh don't tell. I'm bored. I seem to be always doing something when I'm at home, I haven't written much on here lately. Last night I didn't touch my computer at all which is totally odd for me. I was working on a layout of Ryan and his mom from when he was a baby. It's cute, I'll take a photo later when I'm at home.

So, I have officially decided to join a gym. I called, got all the pricing info, decided on which one, now I just have to go and do it. Want to know a secret? I'm scared. What if people laugh at me becuase I can't lift heavy stuff. Or what if I go and nothing happens. Or what if I go and stuff does happen, but then I stop cause I'm lazy and get fat again. So I'm writing on here so all 6 of you who read this can be my witnesses and I can not back down. ah...........

I'm cranky today because Ryan is supposed to come home and Shawn is supposed to be on his way here as a surprise. I have no idea when Ryan is coming home, it's all screwy. Who knows when Jeff is getting up there, Ryan may be coming back down with Lynette (lucky him) which means he might not be home till Sunday..... I'll be pissed. And Shawn is no longer coming, he totally backed out. I'm sad about it, a little upset, but I understand. We haven't seen him for like 3 or 4 years....... crazy.....

Back to work. :)

A gorgeous day....


....makes me want to hurry up and buy a house so I have a backyard to sit in and enjoy this weather. I hate my apartment even more now. Seriously, where do I go to read a magazine? I want to sit in the sunshine damn it. Enough pouting for now.
I went out to run a few errands today, and now I'm off to tidy my house. Not really a lot going on today. I like days off like this. Wanted to share a card I made at June's yesterday with her new stamp set. It's very cute and I think I might need to do a little shopping for some of my own....

Sick of my glasses already....

I'm so intelligent. About 5 days ago now, I went to change my contacts and realized I didn't have any more to replace with. So I phone the optometrist and learn I haven't been for a while so they can't just sell me some contacts, I need another appointment. I try to make an appointment for a Monday, since I always have Monday's off. I can't get one until mid-June. Okay......... next available is May 16th, how lovely. I'm spending every day in my glasses now until then. Don't get me wrong, often I choose to wear my glasses instead, but ah! I can start to feel them on my face, and see the edges and all that. It's driving me nuts.

EDIT: Creeeeeeepy! Literally 2 minutes after I posted this I got a phone call saying that they had a cancellation and I could go in tomorrow......... freaky! But no more glasses! Yay!

hahaha

Does anyone who knows my grandparents think that this could totally happen with them?

yawn

busy day today, my god. i'm exhausted, i'm about to head to bed at 9:30 on a saturday night. how cool am i? apparently i'm too tired for capital letters........... here's a couple shots of a layout i did. i haven't taken it to the store to scan it properly yet.


Today was National Scrapbook Day. my non scrap friends are going to laugh, I can hear it already. But anyhow, the store was busier than ever with the sales I had scheduled. it was pretty well nuts. I like it that way though. I taught a kids birthday party class today. we made picture frames. it was good stuff, they were all cute, and all came up with completely different ideas (except for one little boy who totally copied the kid next to him - the kid next to him was pissed, hehe). I like kids crafts, they're messy, but fun. Crystal told me that Hailey made a penguin out of a pop bottle, I still need to see this. Anyhow, I'm going to sleep.
