Lost 187 minutes of my life ....

I took son and 2 friends to see this today. OH MY!! The first 65 minutes was the L --- O --- N --- G --- E --- S --- T 65 minutes of my life it seemed. I never seen the first Kong movie, and now I know why. Don't get me wrong .. it was okay , but not my first choice.

The upside ... I was able to make 3 very happy boys. So in the end .. 187 minutes worth of pain.

Tonight I did another page .....

It was fun. I am getting more comfortable. Still not to sure .. but I am sure it will get there. Take a long time. But I am having fun.

So it was a fun MLK day. Tomorrow back to the grind. Not sure what this week will bring.

1st Scrapbook page

hopefully first of many.  I am not as happy with it as I would have liked to been.  But I also am my worst judge.

 

 

So we will see.  I need to get more stuff to be able to scrap at home. 

Proud night

I went to my scrapbook class. I was so nervous when I was leaving. I donno why????? But I got there, and I was so thrilled. I almost have the first two pages finished. :-) I am so glad I decided to do this. I can not wait to start scrapping more pages.

I am sure it is a little rough around edges, but a proud moment for me. :-)

To Many Tests.. Ugh!!

The kid has had nothing but tests all week. It is hard trying to study for them nightly. Today was State & Capitols test. Wednesday another test. Then Thursday is Math & Spelling. Friday Skeletal System. Why??? Do we have to have so many in one week, and only get the study guides 1-2 nights ahead. Crazy!!

Kid was prepared for the States test. But all the others. Who knows???

Homeschooling is looking better all the time. DH has finally cut back on all the OT. Nice to have him home a little longer. Though my schedule isn't keeping me home in evening much this week. Kid had basketball practice tonight.

On the scrapbook front - Still have to pick the pictures for the class on Thursday. I can not wait!! I have almost all my million pictures together now and in piles. Man!! I have a lot of pictures. :-) Well to quote the big bad wolf .... "The better scrap you my dear."

Scrappin'

Alright! So I got CDD to get the Ab Lounge apart. Returned with no hassles. I could not believe that one. I could have fainted away. As we seem to always have issues with returns.

So I had the $ back and what to do with it. Then I decided. I have always wanted to start scrapbooking. I have 13+ years of pictures to do so. A couple years ago DH bought me a really nice camera to take better pictures. Why not take the plunge. I will take on my fears .. and being over whelmed ... and another new goal for 2006. SCRAPBOOK!!

So I went to a scrapbook store close to my house. Got a hold of the nicest lady who walked me through my steps. I have not made a purchase, but close. She really was helpful. Plus others I have talk to I am really excited and taking this progect on.

I am going back to sign up for a Beginners Scrapbooking Class on 12-Jan. I am really excited. My first baby steps are to :

1. Get out the tote I store all these pictures I snap all the time.
2. Organize.
3. Put in piles.
4. Pick out set for class

I am really excited and I can not wait. I hope all goes well.
