TOGETHER

i have this thing i do some of you may know. when i am working at home and i need a little pick me up, or just getting tired i get into my 'way to cool' station wagon and go to Starbucks . On the way I play the music in the car so loud and it just rejunivates me so! What a treat tonight was...on mix 106.5 it was Big Hair 80's night, so first up was some twisted sister, member those guys with the really big long blonde hair? after that was oh my goodness... 'carrie' by Europe. Brooke i know you are reading this remembering when you used to sing to me 'Bitty' after some certain boy left for college. Brooke would ad lib "bitty" (my childhood name, that only my Grandpa Nickles & Dave Laut still calls me) into the song where they sang "carrie". She got this talent from listening to that college boy sing it to me the same way! ohhhh to be 15 again! BLAK! How odd is that it was 80's night because right now i cannot stop watching Rock ...

We had the BEST vacation lat week at Burt Lake in MI. man i so did not want to come home, which is odd usually on vacation i am ready to come home at the end of the week not this time! the house was great, enough space for all of us, there were 17 total 9 of them being kid! My kids had so much fun, we tubed, jet skiied, i got up on the wave board, swam, swam, swam. man we did so much, so much sun! This lake is so beautiful! The water is crystal clear...so fresh. It felt so good to swim in clean, fresh water! I even did a night swim, which i am so scared of. I am so afraid of fish touching my feet while i am swiming. Then someone tells me there are 8ft. fish in this beautiful lake...good lord i was nervous but i never saw a fish ever, day or night. I even did some physical activity, Stacey and I ran a few times, then one of the days kim drove us out on the boat and we swam back. Apparently that wasnt the smartest idea on our part, some thought we would have gotten run over by a boat be...

i think i am having a nervous breakdown...i am not sure but i think. i am buried in so much stuff! i did have an AWESOME weekend with the girls at CKC! so fun meeting them all! i got home today after a VeRY crazy morning to the BEST Lets Escape package awaiting for me. It made my day thank you Kelle! i will be posting pictures and my real appreciation later. For now i need to try to dig myself out a little more, so crazed, thank goodness my children took a nap. bad day for me to give up the starbucks.

i have had the craziest week, i think it is just going to stay like this. last week started out great, on monday night i went to the police concert. that was so great. then i worked the rest of the week like mad. i had projects i needed to get started for scraptacular, we had our golf outing for the oriole so i had tons of stuff to get that ready. Thursday i had to go to a meeting at berea city hall, that was VERY nerve wracking & i just had a crazy week at home to top it all off. I think i had a nervous break down about thurday afternoon. I have now bounced back, finishing my projects, and just got caught up on the OC repeats. I must say... I love the OC, i am pretty sure i want to move there now except i want jimmy cooper to be my neighbor. anyway i was so not expecting marissa to die. there i was sitting on my dead guy couch sobbing over the death of marissa cooper. i think it is going to take me sometime to get over this one. i did go to see elenore today, she is the greatest ...

how did i ever live without them! I just love these paint dabbers by ranger. I got 4 pages done tonight and used them on two of them. I think i am going to need all the colors to carry on in life. i used the pebble color tonight, you can see it in this layout the best and made a journaling area with a corrugated box. so fun. I got a little mojo back tonight, i worked until 1030 got me an iced, grande, non-fat, no whip mocha , then went to work on my layouts for the {club} on sunday. This class is at Scraptacular and there will be its available if you are interested. I also got to play with some technique tueday stamps, as well as stickles glitter! I had a very productive night...that makes me happy. it is now 3am and i need to go watch on episode of the O.C. so i can get caught up on that also. why am i always catching up?

i usually dont do the "blog tag" thing but since it was Kim L . and i think she is pretty cool i am doing the tag thing. So here are the 7 random facts, oh and unless you are kim L. consider yourself tagged & let me know when you post to your own blog by leaving a comment. 1) i am VERY insecure 2) i LOVE cheese in just about any form. i even eat it with popcorn thanks to a high school friend stacey. 3) i love to sleep alone in my bed right in the middle 4) i hate feet...really hate feet, unless they are a babies foot i think the cut off age is about 6. 5) i have always wanted to be on a soap opera. 6) i work in a bar and it is a miserable life the bar life. 7) i was a terrible student in school you are tagged... go to it, even if you just write them down on paper.
