A New Week Already??

Where did my weekend go?? lol!! It just seemed to speed by for me, but that's how it's been lately. I worked nearly 8 hours a day every last week, I forgot how exhausting it is to actually work full time! :) The paychecks are going to be nice though, lol!

I had this weekend to catch up a little. Cleaned a LOT, scrapped some, chilled with Alex. John had to work all weekend... and he ended up running into a handicapped sign in a parking lot today... It had a big yellow cement block around the bottom. :( He did about $3000 worth of damage to his truck, it really sucks! He is soo embarrassed about it though! He's dreading going into work tomorrow and having to listen to the guys asking him a million questions about it, lol. I told him that even though it was pretty irresponsible and kind of well... STUPID of him, lol, at least it wasn't a bad accident and he didn't get hurt! It'll only take about a week or so to get fixed but until then I have to drive him everywhere he needs to go, what a pain!!

Alex and I had fun taking pics yesterday! I had my camera, and I was taking pics of well.. myself... cause I'm vain like that! lol. Alex came up to me and was like "Take pictures of me laughing mom!" I held up the camera and he started fake laughing. I took about a million pics though, it was adorable and I love how he loves to take pics! You can totally tell by this first one he was faking it, but I'm pretty sure the second one was when I was trying to make him laugh for real!



I'm going to be scrapping these SOON! Well, I have to, there's about 20 of them now! And here's the "vain" pics of me. :) None of these photos are very good quality, it was kinda dark in the room, but whatev. ;)



AND some new layouts!



I journaled LOTS on the last one, which is something I rarely do. The pic isn't even very good quality, but you can read the journaling and why I love the pic HERE if you're curious!

OH, I totally forgot to draw a name for my Etsy giveaway that I posted almost a MONTH ago, I am so sorry!! At least I remembered, right?? lol!! Using the random number generator the winner selected was....

Hi Jill! I haven't commented in a long time, but I still read your blog all the time! Hey - if you move to AZ, that is the mecca for scrapbooking - all of the great scrapbookers live there: heidi swapp, just to name one, but there are a ton - I want to move to AZ just because of that - so don't be sad. Texas, on the other hand - don't know too much about scrapbookers in TX! hee.. Keep us posted, Cathy :)
