Do you see that up there?

Huh? Do you see what I see? It's RIGHT THERE! LOOK UP! (not your up, but the up on this page).

Yep! 7 lbs down.  I was hoping it would be a larger number by now, but I think with a sprained/broken/who knows/certainly not the doctors because they can't decide on what is going on with mywrist wrist, I have done pretty darn good. The wrist/thumb/like I said the doctor's can't decide issue has slowed me down in my exercising as in I haven't done any.

BUT! I am still losing weight and I am happy about that.

I'll take it.

New Post No Pictures

I went to a crop last week and used my time to make cards. I really wanted to do some pages, but didn't have time to print the pictures. I was, however, able to finish 12 cards!

I am really pretty proud of myself. The crop lasted from 9:00 to 5:00 and I thought 12 cards in that time was pretty good (for someone who hasn't been making cards for long).

I also spoke to a Close to My Heart representative and am actually thinking of becoming a consultant. I have a few more questions to get answered, but I am THISCLOSE to signing up.

Now, you are probably thinking where are the pictures of all these cards? Well, they would be stuck on my camera. For some reason my computer will no longer recognize my camera. The Husband has a picture that he needs off of the camera, and we can't get to it!! I do have a card reader around here somewhere, but I CAN'T FIND IT!!!

It.is.so.frustrating!

I saw that thing just the other day. JUST THE OTHER DAY! Where is it?

I'm sure you can tell by use of excessive punctuation and capital letters that I am not happy about the missing card reader. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!

So, as soon as I find the card reader, I will upload pictures of the cards I made.

Until next time.

 (which may be 6 months from now)

Hello? Is it me your looking for?

1. Yes, I was singing Lionel Richie when I typed that title.
2.  New year....new weightloss goals
3. My friend Sam posted #3 on facebook the other day and I told her I was stealing it. (No worries, she said it was fine).
4.  Operation Lose 52 in 52.
5.  Maybe I will change it to "52 in 52 weeks." I don't want to be a complete copy cat, do I?
6.  I really want to lose 60 lbs, but will be happy with 52 by this time next year.
7. I never remember if the period goes inside or outside of quotations marks at the end of the sentence (see #5).

Edited to add:

      8. I just noticed that the "#3" in #3 should be "#4."
      9. And there's that period and quotation marks issue again!

2nd Home

1. This messy place has become my second home. 
2. It's never just the way I want it.
3. I am always on my feet.
4. It is usually filled with loud kids and people asking tons of questions.
5. The books are always a mess.
6. I am usually  doing one of the following: checking in and out books, answering emails, working on the webpage, creating documents, answering phone calls, creating lessons/materials etc, etc, etc.
7. I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Sneak Peek

My camera is still out of commission, but I went ahead and snapped some pictures of my latest project with my phone. The pictures aren't the best, but I wanted to go ahead and post some pictures because I think this turned out so cute!!

"Happy 1st birthday"

"McGuyer"

There is no way to get the whole thing in one picture. I also made another banner for McGuyer's high chair. It says "I am 1" I forgot to get a picture of that. No worries, though. McGuyer's Mom said she would send me some pictures.

 

I just love those Mickey hands!! I also made a bigger "1st" Mickey head. I think it might look better, but we will see.

Cupcake toppers

I also cut out a bunch of Micky ears of different sizes and colors, but again....no picture. (That seems to be the theme of this post.)

What do you think?

Something That Bugs Me

I have the most amazing husband in the world. I very rarely complain about him (publicly, anyway) because I think it is my job as his wife to support him. Same goes for him. He supports me. I have never heard him complain about me to others, but then again I am not around him all day every day. I choose to think he doesn't.

However! (You knew that was coming, right?)
There is one little thing that has been on my mind. Nothing major, but in every instance this happens.

When I buy milk, I buy the red top (full fat!!!). I like it better for cooking and for The Boy. He needs all the fat he can get. Skinny little booger. 

Sometimes The Husband does the grocery shopping for us. I will make a list and he will get the items while adding what he wants too. Everytime I put milk on the list, he buys the blue top! I even write "milk (red top)" and he will buy the blue top.

Everytime.

Always.

To infinity and beyond.

Now I know I shouldn't complain. I realize there are people out there with more serious husband issues. This is nothing and actually I am not complaining. I'm just sharing. :)

Big News!!

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me. To make a long story short.....

I GOT A JOB!!!

(Imagine that text flashing, blinking, etc.)

After 5 years of being a stay at home mom, I have gone back to work!! I am the new media specialist at my local elementary school.

AND....

I have two posts that I am working on. I'm gonna finish some projects tomorrow (fingers crossed) and show off what I have done.  I can't wait to show you all. I actually squealed when I finished my superhero bulletin board. It is too cute!!!


So, in summary...
* I got a job.
* I have projects to post.
* You should check this blog again in the next few days.
