Nothing new

Nothing new going on in my life. Been feeling kind of crappy since getting my tooth out. I never felt any pain in the area, but physically it really hit me. Headaches, neck hurting and today I feel like my throat is closing up. Kind of hard to eat anything hard.

Let's see, Tomorrow I'm meeting a friend of mine at Chukee E cheese for lunch. YEAH!!! (not really, I'll just spend the whole time chasing after her since she'll just want to put coins in the machines but not actually play with them.)

Thursday I'm taking my last sugar glider to get fixed. Hopefully I can get them all in one cage now. One less cage to clean and to have to travel with so I'm very excited about that.

I have been craving hot chocolate with toffee bites pieces in it. Been having at least one a day. It tastes so good. Feels good on my throat too.

I can't sleep as usual. Just rambling on about nothing. I want to sleep. I hate getting up in the morning and feeling like a truck ran me over. Ryan set up my hello kitty humidifier by my side of the bed to see if that helps me sleep a little better. It's really dry heat in the bedroom kind of uncomfortable.

Been trying to potty train Isabella and that has not gone over very well. She just refuses to go. She'll sit there for hours and do nothing and as soon as I put a diaper on her she goes. I was advised to let her rest for a little while and try again so that's what I'm going to do. I really wish she'd get the hang of it fast. I'm tired of changing diapers for now.

Well this is all my rambling for tonight.

Dental surgery today.

Today I had to have a tooth removed. The Orthodontist said it will clear up some room so my teeth can straighten out the rest of the way. I hated it. I felt every pull and yank. It was over in like 5 minutes though. now I'm in bed with a sore face. Atleast it wasn't as bad as when I had my wisdom teeth taken out.

Last night I just could not sleep so I made an altered journal for sketches. Sometimes I'm laying in bed at night and I get an idea and I forget by the time I get up so this should help me keep my layout fresh and new.

I used my favorite stamp company in the world. Inque boutique for the corner semi circle. Basic gray magnetic clasps to hold the book open (my new favorite tool). Misc. Ribbon and cardstock. The owl I cut with the cricut from the Happily ever after cartridge. Modpodge the whole thing. I love the way it looks. So happy and cheerful.

Scrap room on wheels

Ryan just got me this last night. Ain't it great. It clears up my sewing able so now I can sew and scrap without having to worry about packing one thing to do another. I can scrap anywhere in the apartment too. I absolutely love it.

Christmas gifts for my niece and nephew.

I made these frames for my niece and nephew for Christmas. I used the Cricut for the whole Ariel frame and for the name and gas station on the 2nd frame. I got Mator as a sticker from ACM's. The road from the die cuts machine at the LSS and the gears is a sizzix die cut.

It's been a while

Oh my goodness. Haven't popped in here in a while but I have been creating. Along with having to find a new place to rent out. That's so stress full. Got through the Hollidays and New years good. Glad to have had some great company stay with us. Here is one of my latest projects. Found the frame at a thrifts store for 75 cents. Spray painted it and did a 7 inch layout. Love the way it turned out.

Monday

Well. Didn't do too much today. Got ready to go and on my way out the door checked CL and a lady was selling a brand new Disney Princess cart for the Cricut for $33. How can I pass that up. Got that. Went and got worms for the Sugar gliders. Returned a book to Ollies and bought Ryan's Grandma a Christmas present. Came home and it took me from 2 pm till 6:30 pm to do one page. Yes that's right One page. That's so sad. I have so many pics to do and can't get my motivation going to get them done. I was always so proud how caught up I was on her books and I'm dragging now. Not too behind. Just at Halloween of this year. We have done a lot since then so I have a bunch of pics to scrap. Maybe after the Holidays I'll feel like getting things done. I do have a Hello Kitty sewing machine to play with. maybe that'll be my motivation.

I really should be cleaning the apartment today. I mean, I only have Ryan's grandma and son coming to stay with us on Friday till whenever they have to go back and it would be nice to have a clean house for them, but no, I'm sitting here blabbing on about nothing. I do have to do laundry tomorrow. That should get my butt in gear and start getting this place done.

No much luck in the house hunt. Can't seem to find a reasonable place to live. It's only been two days since we started looking but not one to even consider looking at. Maybe once the first of the year roll around and people settle down from the holidays we'll see some things come up. Hope so. Don't want to live in this place any more than I have to.

Played with my camera some more last night. Found out that my regular point and shoot digital I have does most of the things this camera does. Should of read the manual and actually attempted to get to know the camera before going and buying another one. Not that I don't love this new camera but it probably could of waited a little more. Oh well. Gotta make up for it by taking some really awesome Christmas pics. It's been so cold and windy outside haven't felt like taking it outside and playing with the settings. Creating Keepsakes has some webisodes by Candence Stringham who shows you how to do a new thing with your camera at least once a week. Went though those and found some really helpful things and some supplies I need to get to take care of my camera. I hope they continue to do those. She knows what she's talking about. Ryan did find that Olympus offers free online tutorials on how to use this particular camera. Saved the website for tonight. While the Sugar gliders are playing I'll be watching the tutorials.

Let me go and do dishes or something, but probably not.

(Maybe next time I'll actually have some pages that I'm proud of to show)

Just a regular kind of day

Today was one of those regular days. Nothing really excited. Got up ate breakfast. Bought the new Bampop stamp Polaroid. So cute. Can't wait till it gets here. Cleaned the Sugar glider cages. Then went to the mall to have my laptop looked at. They did a few upgrades and now it seems to be working pretty good. The line to get in the mall was horrible. It took me about 30 minutes to get to the parking garage and a few more minutes to find parking. Ran into to 3 old friends today. One I have not seen since high school. My freshman year boyfriend to be exact. Then I ran into an old friend who lived a few blocks away from me and he was on his way to see another friend. We all met up caught up on life and exchanged numbers. Then came home, cooked and now we're looking for home rentals. Need to get out of this apartment. It's driving me crazy.

Until next time
