A Little Piece of Imagination

This is gonna be new for me again......

2011-11-08T00:01:00.000-05:00

Well i keep coming on and off of this thing, but i really want to keep up with it. Theres been so much going on with me and mines lately, that things need to get reevaulated and adjusted.....with that being said, i definitly need to at least blog more.

SO the holidays are coming up and theres so much to do, and not enough time in the day to get it done. But hopefully these next few weeks FLY by, i love the holidays, but not so much this year. I have to spend it alone, without my hunny, and it sucks so much. But anyhoot!!!

Some of the things im looking foward to is making CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!! but im also looking foward into doing some DIY crafts. I been "pinning" around and ive seen some pretty neat things that i would LOVE LOVE to try before the year is over......key word, TRY!!!

Like this is from a tutorial on how to make an awesome wreath out of xmas balls. loved iT!!!

so we'll see how that goes. i never do anything like this, so this year might be different. im usually on the more traditional side of wreaths. But i love this one. Just gotta figure out my colors. :)

Well its bed time, got to wake up early to hit the gym!!!

Time to get back into this!!!

2011-06-05T00:26:00.000-04:00

Oh my geez!!! i dont know how long its been since ive blogged!!! but i really want to start blogging again especially since things are kicking off creativley!! Ive finally moved back to Dallas permantely after being in North Carolina for 5 YEARS!!!! YAY for bigger cities.... :-/

So anyway, ive decided to start off how i started in the beginning with just random thoughts and things im up to, cuz i want to see if i can actually get some followers, but of course i gotta take it slow. But we'll see how that goes!! WHOOP WHOOP!!

So heres to a new start.....AGAIN!!!

Life Happens...

2010-01-18T21:55:00.004-05:00

.....Life....its whats for dinner...right?? Well, i guess. There are just days when i just feel like i cant take it anymore....as in the military life that is. I mean, its great and all...but when James is out there training for this next deployment, i question myself....is it really worth it. I know to some it is, but i do like to have MINES home with me...but it is the career path he chose, so what can i do, until his contracts up, hes stuck. I dont know.....i guess when im lonely i just feel this way. I just cant wait til he gets back home.

What A Way to Start a Weekend......

2010-01-09T12:24:00.002-05:00

It really sucks when your husband is in the military and not to mention gone for a month for stupid training....DAYS LIKE THIS MAKE ME WANT TO GO BACK TO DALLAS!! You would think being in a stupid military town for 5 freakin years you would make friends. It sucks being me right now...it really does. What does a person have to do to get friends...hell...im the nicest person out there and if people dont see that, well then screw them....u can find a friend else where. IM JUST PISSED RIGHT NOW!!

BED TIME!!!

2010-01-06T22:50:00.004-05:00

SCHOOL SUCKED TODAY, WORK WAS TIRING, NEED BOOKS FOR STUPID SCHOOL!!! UGH!! I HATE THE BEGINNING OF SEMESTERS WHEN IM SOOOOOOO UNPREPARED!! UGH!!!!!!!!!! SLEEP TIME....NOW!!!

Biggest Loser NIGHT!!!

2010-01-05T22:59:00.003-05:00

So today Season 9 started of Biggest Loser and OMG it was really good!! I cant wait for next weeks episode!
I wish the twins wouldve stayed together cuz both of them really need to be there. BUt oh well, hes doing sooo good at home!! man, that is motivation right there!! I WISH I HAD THAT MUCH MOTIVATION!! Its there, but i just need a extra nudge!1 thats all. I got Bob to help me out anyway!! :)
On to other things.....LOTS OF NEW EPISODES START THIS WEEK OF ALOT OF MY FAV SHOWS!! CANT WAIT!!!
So school starts tomorrow....so not ready for that. I like being at home, but i guess its ok, itll make my days go by A WHOLE LOT faster!! I just hope i can pass all my classes and handle work. i really dont want to have to drop a class this semester. Im just gonna have to get my butt into gear!!!
Well, gotta go to bed now....waking up early to make breakfast and fix a snack so i can get thru tomorrow morning, cant be late on my first day of school!!!

My Feet Hurt!!

2010-01-04T19:44:00.002-05:00

So i went back to work today, and man i really didnt want to. Im surprised the kids didnt act up like they usually do, especially those that werent there for the past 2 weeks!!! Oh well. I thought about it, and i really like my job. I like those kids. Im glad someone can look up to me.
Anyway, its been 3 days since James left, and i still havent heard from him. I hope hes ok. i know things werent going so great for him, but hopefully he gets to call or email me soon. I really miss him. It hasnt hit me yet. I know its different when hes gone gone and then when hes just gone for training. I can handle a month without him. (plus it gives me alone time...hehe) I hope i hear from him soon.
Today me and Racene started our "let eachother know what we eat" day. Its been going pretty good for me. Hopefully shes staying on it. I know she had a pole dancing class toinght, im sure shell call me to let me know how it went. :) I wonder if Diana didnt back down and not go with Racene. :( I wish i could do classes like that. Im sure i would if i were at home in Dallas. Hopefully i can whenever i go back home for good then ill definitely have a workout buddy!!
My project 365 is coming along, i need to take a picture of something today before i get behind on it!!! i really want to see how my year goes. :) Well, thats all i got, not gonna lie, gonna play some online games and then watch tv for a lil bit, and then get ready for tomorrow and do this ALL OVER AGAIN!!! BYE!

Man Was It Cold!!!

2010-01-03T18:54:00.002-05:00

Brrrrrrrr!! It was soooo cold outside today its not even FUNNY!! Wind chill made it feel like 11 degrees!! I love cold but i hate cold wind!!
Anyway. Today has been such a lazy day for me. I was surprised that i even left the apartment! LOL. I had to though. i needed to go pick up two literature books that i bought from this lady for my English Literature class this semester, which by the way starts on WEDNESDAY!!! So i had to go onto base housing and man are they doing some major construction. Theyre building new houses and everything...makes me wish i wouldnt have turned down the house when it was offered to me....DARN! oh well, we wont be in Jacksonville too much longer.
Tomorrow is back to work, and what sucks is that im going to have the full class to deal with!! 14 kids. I know it doesnt sound much compared to actual school classrooms of 20+, but when its just DAYCARE and you got these kids going crazy, ESPECIALLY when its freezing cold and they cant go out to play, its pretty nerve wrecking. Oh well, i somehow like these kids anyway. :)
In other stuff, Monday is a whole new week for me, well not just Monday but starting tomorrow. I been planning these past few days to get back into my routine and get back into exercising. Its gonna be hard, but i think i can do it. Especially with James gone right now. Hopefully me and Racene can keep eachother on track. I dont want her to slack either. So heres to hopefully a lighter me this year...im really hoping. Its soo hard when you have so many temptations around you. All i know is that i just want to be healthy. I need to go back to the doctors to get my blood results and see what is up with me. I need to make an appointment soon. Well, im off to go record Iron Chef for my babu!!! PEACE!

What to do, What to do?????

2010-01-02T12:27:00.005-05:00

There is so much stuff i know needs to get done, but im like WHY!!! i really dont feel like doing anything today. But i know i have to. Lets see.....
.....wash dishes
.....make bed
.....plan meals
.....get ready for school this week
.....organize pretty much EVERYTHING!!
Anyway. hopefully today is a better than yesterday. I know james is gone, but im use to it, and i know he'll be home next month, THEN i can start crying. Gonna get dressed, put some music on and start my day off! Dont need to start slacking on the SECOND day of the new year!! Bob Harper here i come....well later when my food settles!!!

Its A New Year.....

2010-01-01T23:26:00.002-05:00

2010!!! WOW!! this past year has flown by soooo fast!! I know i havent really been blogging lately, but i think its something that i need to start doing again. So i'm gonna try my hardest to at least write a little something everyday this year....hopefully. Well this year is gonna be full of MANY..and i mean MANY emotions!! James is deploying to Afghanistan in less than 2 months and its gonna be pretty tough on me this time around. 3rd deployment dont mean it gets easier...it just means you know how to keep yourself busier this time around. :) What else.....um..........oh. tooooo much crap going on back in Dallas with my sister....might be moving in with me. NOT A GREAT IDEA!! but i support her and thats what im here for. (temporarly of course) OH WORK!!! i finally got me a job last month and seems to being going really well so far. NO complaints.....YET! but what can you expect when youre working with 10+ women that have nothing better to do then GOSSIP!!! Then theres.....school...(boooooooooo) Still gonna be going full time....gotta get my edumucation on while im getting this free money from the military, gotta take advantage!! Hopefully this school year is a good one...hope to make friends this time around. ;) MAYBE! Then you got your....so-called resolutions that ive been having for the past...i dont know...7+ years....so im just gonna take it day by day and just see what i do this year...thats all I CAN do Im also getting my photography going. so hopefully that goes well as well. Scrapbookin....um....i need to get back in to that stuff. no time thats all. but im gonna MAKE sure i make time for my hobbies. I HAVE TO!! i cant be living an insane life forever!! WELL THATS ALL FOR NOW!! HAPPY NEW YEARS AND THERES MORE TO COME!!!

Bob Harper is A Hell of a Person

2009-10-12T23:45:00.003-04:00

So im on my 2nd week of The Biggest Loser: BootCamp and i thought it would get easier for me but it hasnt. But thats a good thing. i keep building up to it, and hopefully by week three i can start the new part of the workout. Dont get me wrong...i love me some Jillian Michaels but Bob is a little more encouraging for me and not soo mean like her. But im sure ill go back to the 30 Day Shred after these 6 weeks are up. What else.....oh yea....me and James went on a bike/run this morning. I was on the bike, he was running. NOW THIS IS WHAT UPSET ME. 2 weeks ago, i was all good on the whole riding thing, but this morning...OMG i was like literally dying!! MY THIGHS WERE KILLING ME!! maybe cuz i was on his mountain bike and prolly had the gears on too hard or something, but when i ride my lil cruiser around, its alot easier. I guess cuz im on this nice comfy seat, compared to this crotch killing seat with the bars up high to where im leaning practically on them....i like to cruise, not push myself up. lol. but as soon as we were done, my legs felt like J-E-LL-O!!! James kept pushing me and well, i was gonna quit, but i just kept pushing. This ride, made me think so much about my fitness level.....yea, i need to kick my butt a little more!!! But hopefully this week gets better and goes by fast! Lets see.....what else. Oh im taking this class by Kimmie B and Rhi Rhi It started today, seems like its gonna be pretty sweet, gonna look more into tomorrow morning, but um, thats about it for today. We: 1.Grilled Chicken and Steaks 2.Went on a Bike/Run 3.Met up with Bob Harper in my living room 4.Played some Rock Band (im awesome!) 5......RELAXED!!! Time to hit the hay! Later Gators!!!

Ok so,....its been awhile....soo much going on!!!

2009-10-11T21:52:00.002-04:00

Well, its ALREADY October! Wow, i cant believe that....it just feels like February just got here, when James got home, and now they're training again, about to leave in a couple months AGAIN!!! but to Afghanistan this time around. James' battalion just left to AZ for training this past weekend, and im just glad he didnt have to go with them. Hes just been trying to prepare himself for Sgt's Course and see how that goes for him. Even though its his thing, i still feel all the stress from it. A little part of me is getting really fed up about it, but im also feeling that its still a good idea that hes still in the military....i dont know. we'll just have to see what happens from here til sometime next year. But anyway, school, its been really stressful these past few weeks. Having a speech class is not the best class ever!! yea i know everyone in the class now, but hell, i still cant go up in front of the class and give a speech, its just impossible. UGH!!! i hate that class. im just sooo ready to hurry up and finish all this school mess so i can be a teacher. (HA, i hate school, but i want to teach lil ones) its sooo much more different than that though....i really like kids and i really want them to learn...i guess thats why i decided to be a teacher.... Oh yea.....ME and HOME(Dallas) doesnt equal anymore.....TOO MUCH DAMN DRAMA and i aint even there!! OMG. I swear...its like GROW UP PEOPLE!! and this is my family im talking about. they act like im the one that knows any and everything about whats going on with them and that i can just POOF magically fix....um NOT!!! Geez!! 1. Dont let family borrow money (SOOOOO NOT WORTH IT....thats why i dont do that) 2. The Internet does not always eqaul REAL life....go tend to YOUR CHILDREN!! 3. IF youre gonna talk crap about someone, tell it to their face, and dont sugar coat ur convos with that person..( i just HATE that) 4. GROW UP AND BE A MOM!! AND 5. Leave me the HELL alone, im in NC, NOT TEXAS!!! GEEZ!!! sooo much! i swear...too late to even get into it. but hey things always work out in the end...im just gonna hope they can resolve their mess before THEY drive me CRAZY!! TA-TA!!

A New Layout and a Lonely Week

2009-08-11T20:14:00.007-04:00

This week has been such a very long and lonely week. James has yet again returned to the field for more training, but he's in Virginia now, and for 2 weeks!! I know its not much, but after having him gone for 6+ months in Iraq, i would like to spend as much time as possible before i have to hear about him having to go again, but this time to Afghanistan. He's been home since February, and it just seems like these past few months have gone by soo fast, and now its almost that time again for them to leave again. I just get really sad thinking about it...so much for my 2 weeks alone...i have to think of things that are 6 months down the road. haha. But anyway,i have been a bit busy. Ive been on a sewing rampage, and i been trying to get in a scrapping rampage as well, but it gets soo messy, i get soo frustrated at my mess, but oh well. Heres a layout i did for *STM*. The song was called "A More Beautiful You" and i chose the lyrics... "Says she wants to look that way But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake And she's always felt overweight" When i read those words, i was like, HEY, i felt like that before. so i decided to scrap about it with those lyrics. Hope everyone likes it as much as i do. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!

A Layout For Today

2009-08-02T08:28:00.002-04:00

Heres my Layout for the challenge over at *STM* : It was for the song by Jimmy Buffet: "Good Guys". I chose the first line of the song, "So you're looking for a hero"...i accidentally forgot to put the "a" in there but ill fix it soon.

Today My Hair Got Poofy!

2009-07-26T19:18:00.007-04:00

So me and James went to go take a walk on the beach today, and man was it such a bad idea. I had just fixed my hair enough to where it wouldnt blow around crazy, and as soon as we walk out to leave, OMG its sooooooooo HOT AND HUMID!! i just wanted to go back, but he really wanted to go, so i didnt want to make him sad. So we went, and it was sooo windy. It was a really nice walk, but my hair did not cooperate with the ocean wind. Then we saw these crazy little sand crabs that just almost made me jump straight out of the water. At first i just saw one and then i told james to look and when the tide came in, it looked like at least 50 of those lil suckers flew right in....that was my highlight of the day. A little on the scary side.

Mojo-Less, I Doubt.....

2009-07-21T14:26:00.006-04:00

So i decided to start scrapping again, and man did it feel good to make a page. there's just been so much going on with me right now...school, homework, studying.....and the husband to deal with :)///its OK though, i like what i been doing lately. i also been trying to get a little more practice in with my photography...its getting somewhere, that's all i can say. ill post up some of my work soon. i need to edit. but anyway, back to my page. I was over at *STM* and they have a new song up this week. its by Nickelback: If Today Was Your Last Day. and i picked the first line of the song which was, "My best friend gave me the best advice..." and just scrapped about me and my BFF Racene. The picture was taking at this charity event thing for under-privileged kids that me and her went to in Texas while i was home. It was a holiday theme carnival event, and we were part of the face-painting group. it was soo much fun, but i got something out of it that made me realize that its soooooo great to be part of these kinds of events, and if it wasn't for her to have me go with her then i wouldn't have realized and now i wish i could do more, but i haven't found anything lately here where im at. but yea that's what i did yesterday. Heres some pics from that event too:

So Yea.....

2009-06-19T13:56:00.002-04:00

Its been FOREVER since i posted anything. (i really need to keep track of this thing) So not much has been going on lately, just taking some summer classes right now. other than that. i just been here trying to redecorate my apartment. trying to add personal art to it...(in progress) i need to post some pictures up too...but its coming along. well. i think thats all im gonna say for right now. my mind is all over the place and i cant really think straight. BYE NOW!

Holiday Updates and a Layout

2008-12-30T01:04:00.005-05:00

Well, im so glad that Christmas is OVER!! Yea it was fun, but man was it stressful. I had everything planned out, pictures were gonna be taken during the opening of gifts and after the chaos was over.......didnt go too well. Family wasnt showing up, others wanted to leave super early!! i was pissed! i did everything for my family, and all they had to do was show up and recieve gifts and be happy. (i didnt get anything) but its not about me. it was about the kids. (nephews) and so, after the hour of balling my eyes out, i just told my family out of anger that im never coming back to Dallas anymore and that no one knows how to appreciate family in this house.. i was very upset. i didnt really care what i said. i just needed to be heard. these holidays have been so hard for me already with james gone and no one to hug and snuggle with in this cold wheather. i just want this dumb deployemnt to be over already. my past christmas' havent been this baad at all. but my hubby emailed me and told me to calm down and just take advantage of my family anyway, cuz who knows how long itll be til i see them again (im moving back to NC at the end of Jan) so once everyone calmed down(ie. ME) things went smoothly, i got great photos and finally got a family pic of all of us in years!! so thats how my Christmas went.....NOW onto New Years!!!! In other news!!! I HAVE A LAYOUT TO SHARE!!! With my husband being over in Iraq and the pic that he sent me of him, i had the pefect photo and idea to compliment it. Plus im working on his Marine Corps scrapbook....so it fit perfect. bbut here it is.... the picture isnt that great, but it says: Freedon doesnt come free!" and i think thats soo true, but i wont put my two cents in right now....too sleepy for that. But enjoy...hope yall like it! Hers a Pic of my sister in law that i just LOVED!!! i didnt think it wouldve came out like this, but i love it. just thought id share it:

Brrrr.....Baby Its Cold Outside!!!

2008-12-06T10:55:00.002-05:00

Outside Temp: 38* -Sunny, No Clouds -Me....Inside Still Freezing -Gotta Go Walking -Not in the Mood For ANYTHING!!!! So yea, its cold outside and im bored, and i want to SCRAP something, which i think i will. But i also need to hurry up and make my Xmas wreath for my moms door before it gets too late and its Xmas and theres no wreath!! SOOOO!!! its been awhile since i blogged anything! UPDATES: *Thanksgiving was delicious *Black Friday was crazy *GOT ME MY NEW CAMERA (Nikon D60) *Bank account went cuz of it^^^ *Schools alomost done with this semester *Finals on Tuesday ****BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY>>>>I GOT MY NEW CAMERA!!!! After a year and a half of begging for it from my husband, he finally let me get it. Mind u it was and will be my only Xmas gift this year, BUT I DONT CARE!!! i been wanting this forever!!! Hmmmmm.....now just to start learning how to use it correctly...hmmmm.....Any Pointers????? I have been playing with it, but not really been PLAYING with it, i need to go somewhere and just start taking pictures and start seeing what this baby can do. So what else has been happening.....OH yea, its December!!! Duh!! but that means its almost time for me to go back to North Carolina, cuz my James will be coming home from Iraq soon!!! Im so excited. The butterflies are coming back again....hehehehe.....i sound like the girl back in high school when he would come to my house to visit me.....I love him soo much! im just so happy that this is almost over...AGAIN!! for now at least....well i shouldnt worry about the other deployments he might go on, im just so glad that this one is almost over.....almost 9 months that i havent seen my hubby!! it makes me so sad to think its been that long. But hey oh well, its almost over. So other than that, thats pretty much thats going on with me for the moment. i guess thats all im gonna write about today. TOODLES!!

Hes Coming Home SOON!!!

2008-11-24T00:13:00.002-05:00

So What If I Want To Treat Myself Sometimes...hehehe.

2008-10-17T23:55:00.005-04:00

Well, i just got home from getting my hair "did". and i guess i like it. I'm gonna put before and after pics......and lets compare!!! BEFORE AFTER James told me its too red, but red always fads away really quick anyway. so its OK. i like it, i just gotta get use to it a little and ill be just fine. But that's how my night went. I went to work excited about going to the salon afterward and well, my day went by too slow, so the excitement kinda left and came back once i was done with the stylist. but yea, that's all the good news that happened today. Lets see......what else.......well i do need to go start on my Halloween costume. I was suppose to go to the Susan G. Coleman Breast Cancer Walk tomorrow morning but i don't know if I'm still gonna be able to make it or not.....well see what happens on that part. i really want to try to make it too. Hopefully Racene can wake up that early. well, I'm getting sleepy now, so i think I'm gonna hit the hay. LATER GATORS!!!

Sooooo, i decided to get some inspo from Scrapping The Music and see what past challenge songs they had, and i chose to do Challenge #25: Shes Not Just A Pretty Face By Shania Twain. I really liked how this came out, especially since i finished it in like 25 minutes!!! i bet it was just a spurt of mojo just for today, hopefully i can get my juices flowing again, cuz i miss doing this. So anyway, on another note....The State Fair of Texas is going on at the moment, and i am super bummed that i havent gona at all this year....its been 5 years since i been. Oh the Awesome food that they have there: Corny Dogs, Sausage on a Stick, Turkey Legs, FUNNEL CAKES and the list goes on and on!!!

Ok so yea, it has been a WHILE since i updated on here. and well heres my chance to. well last night me and my family drove out to Oklahoma to Winstar Casino....now mind you, i really didnt want to go. i wanted to go to the Plano Balloon Festival instead, but noooooooooo my brother-in-law had to come to town and cancel my two week plans with my parents!!! well whatever!!! anyway. we went to OK and with my sisters KIDS!!! why would you bring kids to a casino! who knows, but anyway, my poor mom stayed out in the truck with those kids and the rest of us went inside. i was having such a good time until i lost all my money!!! man, why cant i be good at this stuff. so anyway, my dad was watching the card tables and seeing how to play and i guess he picked it up and figured how to play 21. so with his last $20 he decided to take a chance at what he learned watching behind peoples back. YUP!! he put in 20 and left with 70. I SHOULDVE PLAYED THAT INSTEAD!!! cuz i figured how to play it. maybe next time, and next time we wont take any kids and my mom can then have a little fun!!!

But thats all i got today, i thought it was a great gift for me. but thats all i did today. i had went to the movies to go watch some movie in 3-D, it was about flies. i have no idea, i fell straight to sleep, i just been sooo tired. but anyway, im falling asleep, i need to hit the hay, ta-ta for now!!!

Spring Cleaning Around Fall??? Are You Crazy!!!

2008-09-06T17:51:00.002-04:00

Spring came a little late for me this year. i just been trying to clean my room up and throw things away that i dont need. i know im at my moms house but i dont want my room to be pack-rat-ish like her house. Dont get me wrong, i love my moms house but man!! she definitly needs to spring clean her house in the Fall. hopefully i can get my room how i want it before the weekends over. I DOUBT!! but i hope i can. i really want to add some storage to this room but i dont want to spend extra money on things i know i wont be able to take back with me and just let it be a waste. cuz iknow however i style my little room itll be put back the way my mom had it before, so theres no point. but i might, who knows. So anyway, i have to go to my boss' birthday party in a little bit. now, am i suppose to buy him something?? i have no idea, i dont want to go empty handed. GRRR!! i dont know what to do. i wanted to whip up a BDAY card real wuick but i dont think ill be able to. oh well.....maybe i should buy him some liquor, i know he likes to drink.....MAN!! dumb guy! well i know i shouldnt be on here blogging but i had to. i need to go shower and start getting ready!!! so little time so much to get done!!!!! GEEZ!! LATER!! ---------------- Now playing: James Blunt - You're Beautiful via FoxyTunes

2008-09-01T20:19:00.002-04:00

Well first of off, thank goodness for this 3 DAY WEEKEND!!! im so glad i didn't have to go to work today. i wouldn't of been able to deal with kids after having a weekend like mines. its not like i was partying or anything, but theres been family left and right coming to our house plus a party at Racenes house, which was kinda weird. but anyway. ive had such a tiring week. im just so glad this week didnt start off with a monday. but it sucks too since i gotta go to school aside from going to work!! so my day will be super busy tomorrow. But anyway i went to Celebration Station, and man i was winning so many tickets!! i got almost 3000 in just one machine!! i was soooo excited! i was just doing it for my nephews cuz my sister wanted to take them to have a little fun before they go back to week number 2 of school!! but anyway. they guy thats suppose to give us the prizes saw that we had more than 6000 tickets, and they were already closed, he told us that he was just gonna give us tow of everything!!! i mean EVERYTHING!! i dont think he was suppose to do that, cuz we walked out with a BOX FULL of prizes big and small. but i got these cool little aniamls. i love them!!!! OMG i really need to start scrappin again!! ive been inspired by so many things it isnt even funny!!! i think im gonna try and do something tomorrow morning. i really need to get back into it. but with work and school...its like i dont have time for anything anymore!!! MAN!! SOMEONE HIT ME WITH A CRAFTY STICK!! i need it. well thats all i have to write today. WORK SUCKS AND THATS LIFE!!! LATER GUYS!! ---------------- Now playing: *NSync - Bye Bye Bye via FoxyTunes

First Day of School....

2008-08-25T11:22:00.002-04:00

Well i know i havent been writing on here for a good while, but i been working so thats a good thing. There has been so much going on for me these days. Its been a month that James has been in Iraq, so i still got 6 more months to go. I started working at a daycare, which is ok, but it still sucks. And i started school this morning, which was a funny story. I go up there and i see the PE teacher standing there, and he greets me and and says," are you Lorena?", and im like...YEA...turns out that im his only student for M-W-F!!! OMG!! how sad, so no i gotta go tuesdays and thursdays. but i think ill stll show up M-W-F so i can keep up my walking and waking up early. So anyway, i started up on my weight wathcers again. hopefully i can get on the ball this time around. i really want to loose weight for when james gets home. my goal is to loose at least 10 lbs each month.so hopefully i can loose 50-60 in these next 6 months. i really want this bad, so hopefully it works out well. well thats all i have to say for the moment, i have to go start fixing my lunch for work. TA-TA for now!!!!

So i Finally Scrapped Today...........

2008-07-09T22:58:00.003-04:00

Well, today i finally got back into scrappin, and i loved how my layout came out. I did one of the challenges for SCRAPPING THE MUSIC . The song was from Trace Adkins: You're Going To Miss This. I had the perfect pictures to put on there too. I kinda did it about me and my husband since hes leaving to Iraq like in 2 weeks, and well, he is gonna miss "this" as in me. but i think it came out super cool!! i love it. here it is: Well thats it for tonight.

Today Is Just Another Day.......[[sigh]]

2008-07-08T16:11:00.002-04:00

So today i had an interview at a daycare and i was super excited, but as soon as i got there i had major butterflies!!!! OMG!!! I felt like...WHOA, im super close to working with little kids!! i really hope i get this job! so i sat down with one of the schools director and she seemed nice and everything, but if youre at an interview, wouldnt you think you should be alone with this person and no interruptions.....WRONG!!! TOoo many people came and interrupted and it was ok, cuz she seemed pretty cool about it, but ive never been to an interview like that. it was soooo laid back, i dont even think i had to dress up...[[but its ok, i like to make good impressions]] hehe. the only thing that got me was the pay, she asked me what i was looking for and i told her $9+, but she looked at me like i was crazy and then i said, well no less than $7. then thats when she dropped the bomb and told me that the base pay was $6.75!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOA WHOA WHOA WWWWWWWWWHOOOOA!!! come on now!! at a daycare!!! she told me but with my experience and college that from what she saw i could get $7.50, but that it could be more and that she would have to leave that up to the main guy/owner of the place. i figured id take it anyway, but i have another interview next tuesday and what if they pay more!!! GGGGRRRR what a dilemma!!! well, anyway, she said that she'd get back to me, well the owner guy would and let me know where i stand for them. so hopefully they call soon. i might as well take it, so i can get some experience in it so when i do go back to NC i can get an easy job, cuz they are always looking for daycare workers, plus on base i could work at the childcare building and get paid at least $12 to start off with!!!! i just hope i can find a job soon, i hate staying at home. plus i need to go register for fall classes and then ill have my whole day filled up with things to do. how fun!!! NOT!!!!!! well, thats all i got for now........james is still in NC and leaves pretty soon and i still miss him. but now i gotta get my tail up and get to working and working OUT!!!! i need to definitly loose weight these next 7 months!! oh i hope i can, i just need to find a support group or person that i can meet up with, cuz my sister and brother sure arent a support group at all....more like a sabatoge group!!! seems like they dont want me to loose weight.WHATEVER!! i aint having this no more, im tired of me being like this, and well, its too damn expensive to keep eating soo much, but yea thats my goal, plus i gotta look good for when my hubby gets back from iraq next year!!!!! im sure ill loose something, that i will not bring my hopes down on. so anyway, thats enough typing, my wrists hurt!! HA!! LATER!!!!!!

What a Sad Sad Day....well 8 Months....

2008-06-16T19:25:00.002-04:00

So i had to take James to the airport today. :( I cant believe hes gone now. he doesnt even leave to iraq for at least another month and i cant even be with him!!! im sooooo sad, i couldnt stop crying last night, it was our last night together and there had to be family over to ruin it!!! i mean i dont mind at all, but it was our last day together. Hopefully we can save a little extra money so i can at least go see him before he actually leaves. Not really sure if its such a great idea which can prolly be more hard for both of us to say goodbye.....i dont know what to do anymore, well i do, but i hate being away from James. it sucks soooo much!!! but i hope these next 7-8 months go back really fast so i can be back with my honey. i already miss him and hes only been gone not even 10 hours. well, i hope i can have friends and family for support. oh well, if they do or not. but thats all i got for today.

My Pencil Portfolio Thingy.

2008-06-05T16:48:00.004-04:00

Heres my pencil holder. Let me know what yall think and if i should put some on etsy for sale. Thanks guys!!

Love is Back in The Air!!

2008-06-04T11:41:00.009-04:00

Im soooo freakin happy that James is finally home after a month!!!!! its like the peice of me that was missing has finally returned back to its proper spot!! Im so glad that hes home and we can try to make these next to weeks super special and try to love eachother so much more than ever, cuz after those two weeks, hes gone from me again. :( I dont want him to leave me alone again, it hurts soo much. especially knowing that he'll be in a dangerous country and i wont be able to protect him or talk to him to tell him that everything will be ok. Its only been a month and he came back so much smaller, and thats becuz he hates what the military offers for food, and well, im just scared hes gonna come back as a stick after being in Iraq for 7 months!!! he just wont eat the food. but i tell him that he needs to get use to it or hell get sick or something from not eating enough in that heat. i guess ill just have to make awesome care packages for him and his buddies. that always makes me happy. i love when people appreciate things you do for them. for example, one of james' buddies was telling everyone that he can wait til they get back home so that"james wife" can make me some delicious sandwiches for lunch. now i dont take that as "taking advantage" i take it more of someone appreciates a homeade meal and really likes it, now a sandwich aint all that homeade, but to him its better than chow hall food. and i feel soo good when i know that my sandwiches are not going to waste. so hopefully i can send them some stuff too, since their family really isnt gonna send things to them. ****ANYWAY!!! IM SUPER HAPPY TO HAVE MY HUBBY HOME**** But on a lighter note, since i havent posted in a week, i would love to share all the mail i got and what i want to send to one of my Happy Mail partners...well, a sneak peak of stuff. First off, i won some awesome paper from LuxeDesigns, and WOW!! i just loved it!!! And then i got this from my Happy Mail Friend Michelle over at SISTv : And heres a little sneak peak of what im gonna send her this week before the big move: Theres still more to it, but those are the bigger items. and well i also wanted to share with yall what i was working on. im super proud of this and i love it soo much. Its a pencil holder, so i made sure my "good" pencils were safe: And well, it took me a good while, well sorta, and it was so much fun to make!!! but anyway, im done for today, i feel like its alot that ive typed and well, im satisfied. PEACE OUT!!!

Memorial Day....That is Today!

2008-05-26T11:47:00.003-04:00

So todays Memorial Day, and well, aside from it being a holiday for the military folks and they have this long weekend to relax, its also a day to remember those that have served and died for our country, present and past. Today is one of those days that u have to be grateful and honored to be free in America, cuz of those that died for this country. So for that i honor those that died serving or is serving at the moment. My husband is part of those that are serving, and im so sad that hes not here today. But its ok, he'll be here in a week. Im sooo excited, i know its only been a month, and that worried me alot, cuz i wont see him for almost 8 months, and im just a wreck without him for a month, how am i gonna be without him AGAIN for 8 months!!!! I dont want him gone, i get too scared for him and worried that somethings going to happen over there, but i know i shouldnt think that far, but its so hard not too. But anyway, today is gonna be soo boring for me, i dont have nothing to do, and well, the day is gonna go by soooooo slow. but im gonna go do my two miles cuz i wanna get my 10,000 on already, so why not start today while there is no one on base really trying to go walking. lol. but thats it i guess. hopefully the rest of the week goes by pretty quick. So i still need to get some house cleaning and organizing so i can start to move some things into the storage, but im soo scared to go driving and see the gas prices!!!!!!! i just dont want to see myself paying $4 a GALLON!!!!! thats just the worse!! but oh well i still need to get my apartment packed up gas or no gas. Well thats all i have to say for right now, hopefully i can get some scrapping in today.....HOPEFULLY!!! well, ta-ta!!

What A Week!! Well Sorta.....

2008-05-24T09:33:00.004-04:00

Well, this week has been not productive at all!!! i was suppose to go get the inspection done on the car, but since it was a 45 minute wait aside from my 30 minute wait, i wasnt gonna be waiting there for over an hour!! so hopefully ill go today if the wheather lets up. well i been doing pretty good this week with my eating and exercising, well, kinda on the eating, its not like ive over eaten or anything, but i did make 2 or 3bad choices during the week. but its ok, i just gotta get back into my routine again. im just gonna start adding 2 miles a day from here until i reach my 10,000 mile goal.....hmmmmmmm...i wonder how long that'll take. well i hope it goes well for me in these next couple of months and maybe ill reach the goal by february, but i cant really say, cuz i havent done the math yet, so we'll see. So yesterday i went to go get some MCD's Breakfast(bad choice #3) and i couldnt believe that gas has gone up AGAIN!!! i mean come on!! this is just gonna leave everyone with out a house or money,....well not the millionaires!!!!!!! :( that just makes me soo mad. but oh well, u cant live ur life always worrying about things. thats just how everythings is now a days. so i spent all my day yesterday watching movies. i thought some were good others werent. but i had a good day yesterday. heres the movies i watched and i will rate them....1 low-10 high. 8 7 7.5 8 10 so yea i watched all that yesterday, woke up pretty early. now i just need to go return them and go get more movies. its rainy and muggy, i hope the wheater looks better in the afternoon. So james is coming home next week!!! YAY!!!i cant wait, i hope he gets to come home with the advanced party and get here before the 1st!! im just crossing my fingers, i miss him soo much!!! i just cant wait now!!!! well thats all i have to say for today. but have and awesome day for whoever reads this!!!

Im Just Gonna Post a Layout Post

2008-05-21T19:20:00.004-04:00

Not really in the mood to blog right now. not feeling to good to get into it right now. maybe tomorrow, but i am gonna blog about my LO that i did for Say It In Scrap challenge. the journaling says: "I GET HAPPY WHEN I HAVE THREAD TO SEW A NICE PURSE!! WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT MY SEWING MACHINE!" cUZ LIKE SERIOUSLY, I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITH OUT IT. ITS LIKE ON DAYS THAT I HAVE THE PERFECT FABRIC I GET SUPER EXCITED AND CANT WAIT TO MAKE SOMETHING. WELL THATS HOW I FEEL ON DAYS WHEN ITS PERFECT PURSE MAKING DAYS!! ENJOY!!

Another Day....Another Boring Week.

2008-05-19T10:55:00.003-04:00

Well.....i cant say much today. why? cuz i aint got nothing to say. well, i guess i do. This weekend was filled with back to back episodes of flavor of love, crocheting amigurimis, and a saturday of exercise....(cuz i rested on sunday). I didnt go anywhere... didnt have errands to do so why leave home and go waste that oh so awesome $3.77 a gallon gas thats in my car. hehehehe. it was a nice day yesterday too, but with no hubby, theres no point in going anywhere either. i did have my friend over on friday. she helped me take some boxes to the storage and it was funny, cuz when we were taking the boxes out the apartment i made her carry some heavy stuff(shes itty bitty) and i carried whatever was left and not-so heavy, and when we got to the storage she kept avoiding the ones i made her carry and carried the small stuff in. i thought it was funny, but i didnt tell her. (yea....thats how exciting my month has been going....BOOOOOO) but im soo glad that james is coming home in two weeks, but sad that we only get to spwnd a week together before we leave to dallas, and then he only has 10 days of leave and then comes back to NC by himself and then leaves me not too long after!!!!! IM SOO SAD!! I DONT WANT HIM TO GO TO IRAQ!!!! but i kno he has to and its ok,.............i guess. ;)Well thats all i got to say for today. im gonna post my exercise....um, i dont know how to call it, but what i did for the day plus ill edit it throughout the day too, cuz i really need to step it up a notch these next two weeks. well heres what ive done so far: ********************************************************** Morning: Upper Body Free Weight Training (30 minutes) intensity(light-moderate) ********************************************************** And heres a couple of pics just for viewing purposes.....plus i love my cat and he miss his daddy and loves to lay on his dirty/clean cammies!! HAHAHA!!

Today is A New Day!!!

2008-05-12T10:43:00.005-04:00

Day 18 of 40: Literally, it is! hahaha! But anyway, man it was scary last night. There were so many tornados passing by thru here and the storms alone were horrible. i was so scared. but it passed around 1100pm and i walked outside and the sky was soo clear. the moon was shining so bright and the stars were twinkling very bright....its as if there had never been any storm or any signs of tornadic activity. It was just perfect!! BUT it being 1100pm i quickly ran back inside.....darkness scares me, hehe. i love days like that...not gloomy days, just rainy days, its such a soothing noise, but then i get mad if the electricity goes out. So what an exciting morning for me. I got the weekly news letter from SIS and whats to appear..MY PHOTO FROM THE AIRSHOW!!! WOWZERS!!!! i know its prolly not a huge deal, but when somebody else notices my work and sends it out to thousands of ladies to see it, it gets very overwhelming and exciting!!! this is the photo that they thought and i quote "Not only is it a powerful photo, but the contrast and vignette really make it stand out." i too loved how this picture turned out. i was just snapping away and just seeing if maybe i got any good shots when i got home. i used to just delete them if i didnt like them but i stopped doing that becuz i noticed one day when i uploaded them, some pics came out sooo good and i just decided to do that more often and wait til i get home and see how they really look on a bigger screen....and well heres a good shot that i didnt really plan out looking like that with the whole angle and whatever. im still learning and i have so much more to learn on photographing. its also become quite a passion of mines so i hope later on i get to be a great photgrapher cuz there are soo many out there and their work is A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!! So anyway, i decided to do a little digi...i think im starting to get addicted to it, but i still got so much to learn. heres a lo i did of my parents. im really satisfied how it came out. well, today i wanna get a little more exercise in. im already doing a 48 minute video but i wanna step it up just a little. so i think im just gonna incorporate a 2 mile walk every day. but ill probably go in the afternoon. its getting a litle easier now, but i still got a ways to go. im trying to at least loose 10lbs while James is gone, and im not gonna weigh myself til then to see what the outcome is. im kinda excited but i dont want to put my hopes up to high......GRR!! i hate loosing weight even though i need to. well whatever then. i guess i just need to take it one day at a time, and try to accept myself a little more and actually take my own advice that i give to others.well thats all i have to write for right now.

Its Been a week, i guess i should blog huh??

2008-05-10T09:18:00.006-04:00

Day 16 of 40: Well ive survived 2 weeks without james being at home.....2 more to go. :( but its ok, ive been hanging out more with my friend jennifer, i shouldve hung out with her more in the earlier months instead of around the time im leaving....:( its ok, weve had fun though. She will be missed when im gone. So im in the packing proccess right now and well.....nothings been packed!!! i know i still got like 3 weeks to pack but i need to get on it. im sure ill start next week cuz thats when i go get the storage. but i hope its not too stressful. i wanted to pack up my scrapbook stuff but as soon as i put all that im taking in my tote, it all comes out cuz i wanted to work on some stuff!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!! i guess thatll have to be the last thing i packed. So i went to an air show on Sunday at the air station. It was pretty warm out and well i thought it was fun, i dont think my friends husband was having fun. i think its cuz he worked at it 2 years ago and isnt really impressed by planes like me and his wife...well more like me. He works on the airstation so thats why. But heres a couple of pics that i took out there: so thats how my weekend went...theres suppose to be some type of free carnival on Camp Lejuene and i want to go but i dont wanna go by myself and well my friends in-laws are in town and well, it would be rude for her to just leave them to come with me....oh well.maybe next year. Well heres what i have been working on this week, i finally finished the mothers day card for my mom and these two other tags for two swaps i was in. i didnt like them but alot of the other ladies in those groups have a simple style of scrapbooking so i just made them very simple: But thats all ive done this week. i did have my fina on monday and i dont think i did too well on it. i hope i still get my credit though.....i swear the teacher was too cute...too bad he was too skinny and married. hes a cute dork. awww, maybe ill get another class with him next time.Well, thats all i gotta say about that. So this weekend is mothers day. i wonder if my mom got her card today..i hope so. i wish i was home, i havent spent mothers day with my mom inlike 3 years. ill be home for fathers day, but not that many people celebrate it as much as mothers day which is sad. but yea, hopefully i aint too bored this weekend. i knowi dont have kids and thats ok....so iguess i wont be celebrating anything. :) well thats all for today.

HAPPY NSD!!!!

2008-05-03T12:20:00.006-04:00

DAY 9 of 40: MAN!!!! WAS I UP ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT!!!! ive never had to make the amount of LOs in the time i did. (ok just 3, but within a hour each) Over at SiSTV they have been working us all night and morning, i just woke up not too long ago and im still sleepy, but since i dont have anything else to do today, why not scrap!!! So i got a chance to finish the LO i was gonna do for the NORMAL challenge over on SAY IT IN SCRAP, i just loved how it turned out given that i finished it like in 30 MINUTES!!!!!!!! but here it is: a NORMAL girl....LIVING in A MESSED UP WORLD!! The Journaling reads: "This world I live in has gotten so CRAZY!!! When will this chaos JUST STOP!! Everything should be peaceful according to me!! So why does a normal girl like me have to go thru this!" i thought this was a fun challenge, i thought of it but didnt think i was gonna get it done soo quick. but yea there u go. Heres the other LO i did last night: DIGI/////DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ALWAYS FAITHFUL(SEMPER FI) LO:

I {heart} MY PARENTS!!!

2008-04-30T15:46:00.005-04:00

Day 6 of 40: So today has been a good one so far. i wasn't too much on the computer much yesterday cuz my shoulder was KILLING me and still is, but i managed to do a LO last night even though the pain was killing me!!! Its a LO i did over my parents. since they been married i think 25+ years i figured the message(title) best suited the pics i chose. "[IT’s] Not About the Details.....IT’s About the Big Picture" and that's exactly how my parents feel. they may not tell each other they love each other everyday cuz its known, so the small daily details don't really compare to the many years of love they shared..hence the BIG PICTURE of things all in one....well that's the message I'm trying to get across. but i cut out letters from magazines and spelled the words out of them and inked the edges with yellow red and blue blending into each other and the tag i inked it as well to make it look vintage like. oh the pictures of them are at the Dallas Arboretum..i caught them walking down this path and thought it was the cutest thing and that's the one i decided to use as the multi pic. and the other one they are in front of a waterfall....i love these pics of them!! Hopefully i can get some more done today but i doubt, i still gotta finish a swap im in, and finish organizing my tote. so hopefully i can get on the ball and start on some stuff since i dont have class tomorrow. But i still need to exercise, i had my rest day yesterday so now i gotta get back on it...i might go walking later on this evening as well. SO i talked to james just a while ago...i miss him soo much. they havent even started their training. But at least he called me to see if i was ok even though it was like a 2 minute call. i just want him to come home already. i miss having to cook for someone...oh well. well i guess i should go get some stuff done.

Rain Rain Go Away.................

2008-04-28T12:27:00.006-04:00

Day 4 of 40: Today has been such a gloomy but nice day. Its just been storming all morning!! which is nice cuz i like the sound of rain when i sleep. but not when i have to walk in 'cross campus!!! its ok, i got a little workout cuz of it, plus i took the stairs too!! YAY for me!! I sooo wished i was at home though, Mondays suck sooo much booty!! but whatever....at least i got out the apartment. Well, after class was out, i head towards Michael's cuz i had a 50% off coupon and i said what better way of using by buying a rolling tote that i was gonna get anyway and prolly not 50% off, so i went and i bought it for 30 bucks instead of $65!!! i think thats a deal...it has all sorts of compartments so im excited to start filling it up. but as soon as i got home someone claimed it as his own!!! Hes such a dummy cat. but now hes back on his chair asleep. AWW MY BABY CAT!!! but anyhoot. gotta get my workout on before it gets too late. hopefully i dont get any interruptions.

THE DAY BEFORE A NEW SCHOOL WEEK!!! [[UGH]]

2008-04-27T10:38:00.005-04:00

Day 3 of 40: well i got to talk to James a little while ago, but he can only be on the phone for 15 minutes, but its ok, cuz 15 is better than 0. I feel so bad and kinda upset....hes a very picky eater and well, i asked him if he ate break fast and hes like yea: 2 Boiled Eggs, 2 PopTarts, Little Debbie Cherry Pie, and something else sweet. Well, i dont know why he doesnt eat at the chow hall, he says it tastes gross, like cafeteria food.....I LOVE CAFETERIA FOOD........but what makes me mad is that hes out in the desert and eating this junk and not real food. i just wished he'd suck it up and eat the food, but id rather him not get sick, so i guess ill just have to be ok with whatever he eats out there[[sigh]]. Well, today i dont know what im gonna do....i wanna get some scrappin in but i got homework to do, and well, its such a lazy day. i know im gonna get my exercise on which i have been doing really good on....DAY 3!!! last night even though i had already exercised, i played DDR MAX for the PS2 for 30 minutes and it kicked my butt, but it was FUN!!! SUPPOSEDLY it said that i burned 255 calories arrcording to the weight i put in there....which i guess is true cuz i heard u have to be accurate with the weight for it to be semi-accurate as well....so ill take it. Heres just a random picture of my baby cat that isnt much of a baby. i love my cat even though he has asthma....which i accidently made him have an attack last night cuz i scared him super bad which wasnt my fault.......i thought he was playing :( So anyway i was thinking about this the other day: 10 Things I'd Like To Do Before The Year Is Over...i havent really gave it much thought, and havent came up with the FULL 10, but i guess i can start listing the ones i know i want to do though: 10 Things To Accomplish in 2008!! 1). Walk in a Charity Walk(any cause) 2). Loose 50lbs 3). Volunteer in Different Places in the City (Dallas) 4). Get CPR certified 5). Re-Learn to Rollerblade 6). Go camping!! 7).

Survive my husbands deployment to Iraq 10).GET A J-O-B!! HA!! i guess i got them all in, but im sure i have more.....if i do i will def update them and may be have 20 things...hehehee..... but for whoever reads this, id like to know what would be at least 10 things yall would like to accomplish or have accomplished and your list is almost complete....its always fun to see what people want to get done in a year that is major to them. well, have a great day....gotta go exercise!!!

Just Another SATURDAY!!!

2008-04-26T08:44:00.003-04:00

Day 2 of 40......i feel soo lonely right now. its Saturday morning and i have no husband to feed breakfast to. hes prolly out there in the desert eating nasty food. my poor honey. [[sigh]] Its ok, i just gotta try to make the most of it that hes gone. Speaking of making the most of it, im gonna go get my walk on in a little bit before the sun starts heating up later. i think the only thing that will be good out of this is that i can eat whatever healthy food i want without him making ugly faces when i force him to eat it....ahhahaha....awwww. and i can get my exercise on since i wont be just sitting around waiting on him to get home from work and what not.....dont get me wrong i love all that stuff, but when he comes home lazy i get lazy with him. i wanna at least try to loose 10lbs while hes...im sure the goal is attainable, its just that now i have to make sure i work my butt off!!! i started up again yesterday with my 25 minute DVD instead of its sister DVD that runs 48 minutes....i usually do that one, but i just felt so out of it yesterday. but hopefully i can get that one in for my afternoon session. Anyhoot, last night i was trying something new...DIGI SCRAPIN....so out of my comfort level...i think it came out semi-ok for it being my very first one..not great pictures but of course i was just playing around with it: Im sooo gonna laugh if i start getting addicted to that as well!!! i hope so!!! HA!! i doubt, cuz i dont really have a printer to print them out 12X12 and not enough ink!! maybe i can just send them to like a SHUTTERFLY type of thing and have them printed out smaller or something......who knows...im not even liking what i did yet, once i get better at them then i will think about the whole printing them out. but thats all for today. maybe somethng else exciting will happen....OH i gotta go to TARGET!!! GRRRRRRRRR, but i love it soo much!

Im So Sad...I Feel Like My Heart Is Broken

2008-04-25T13:47:00.003-04:00

Today is Day 1 of 40!!!! My James is gone!!! He left to Cali for training last night and i miss him sooo much already. I hate goodbyes!! i know its only about a month, but still, that just means its sooo much more closer for him to leave to Iraq! >:( when he gets back from training we head back to Dallas so he can drop me off, and he'll be there for at least 10 days before he has to come back to North Carolina. I dont want to have to drop him off at the airport and say goodby again, but this time for 8 months!!! i wont seee him, im not too sure how often ill get to talk to him when he actually gets to Iraq!! im starting to hate this military life, why does the govt. have to take my husband from me. i know its his duty, and thats great, but i dont see why they are in iraq. yea, some people will argue with me and tell me their reasons why, but for me there is no reason cuz its my loved one and no one elses. i dont want him to be out there in danger. and i know theres others out there, but their families worry about them too, not about my husband, just their own. i just feel like were gonna miss sooo much in the next 8-10 months......but our relationship is too strong. ive already been thru this before, but its sooo hard to deal with it. im soo glad i dont have any kids right now, cuz i know i wouldnt be able to deal with it at all. but its soooo much fun and sooo much better when he does come back cuz the love is sooooo much stronger!!! i just miss him thinking about it. i cant wait til he gets back.....and the countdown will begin!!!

ScrapMojo Challenge: Juno Inspired

2008-04-24T07:39:00.006-04:00

So i have been wanting to do one of the challenges from ScrapMojo for a good while, and finally got the chance to actually sit and do one. They have one going based on the Juno soundtrack(....which i looooove) and u had to choose a song title and use that. so i chose the track named "Sleep". I really loved how this LO came out. i used pretty much all white for the whole LO cuz i wanted everything to look like how it would on the CD cover, so i drew all the lines and colored them orange( iread that ome people were using the sass lass paper or something like that...if i knew i wish i had that paper)..cut out the clouds and the moon and stars and popped them up and colored them the way i wanted( notcolored all the way) and the letters came out toooo close to the actually font of the JUNO title, which i was just surprised at that, and i added a little feltie monster to it also: I used this pic as my inpiration: The Journaling reads: "Going to sleep has to be the best thing in the world for me! But its crazy at times too!! As soon as the sun goes down and its bedtime, thats when the MONSTERS LURK!! I can have the best sleep in the world and hate it ruined by these little buggers! I hate having not-so-sweet dreams! I like to sleep peaceful like a PRINCESS!!" I hope this is enjoyed by more than just me!! *************************************************** Well, today, is gonna be a really sucky day. James leaves to Cali tonight, well technically he leaves tomorrow morning, but i gotta drop him off on base at midnight. Its only a month, but as soon as he gets back im moving back to dallas with my parents while hes in Iraq!!! so i'll hardly get a chance to spend "real" time with him. he only get to take 10 days of leave and im sure when he goes down to dallas with me to drop me off hes family is gonna want to hog him up from me, which is ok, but its not like were both leaving back to NC...hes coming alone, so its like i feel that i should have him to myself while were home cuz ill be the one that wont be comeing back, ill be letting him go at the airport....its just makes me wanna cry when i think about him walking away at the airport.......thats prolly the worst feeling in the world. but..FIRST i need to get thru this next month while hes gone and get some things situated first at home. like start packing for once....and try to find storage for all this mess....cuz we'll be back out here next year, and well, if alot of people are deploying that means less storage spaces.....IDK, well see what happens. But im gonna try my hardest to loose some wieght while hes gone, cuz hes always wanting to eat junk food and with out him here i can dooo so much better!!! but anyway, thats all for right now!!!

So Loving My New Cut!!

2008-04-18T11:32:00.004-04:00

So i went yesterday to get my hair cut and re-highlighted and i LOVE LOVE IT!!! I LOVE HOW IT CAME OUT....I never really had bangs and well....bangs that short!!!! but its a new adjustment when my hair is NOT fixed!!! its like a little rug on top of my head since my hair is SUPER CURLY!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHA.....but im gonna straighten it today though. im sooo glad i got it done, my head looked like two different heads.....black and blonde!!! hahaha. now its all even, but the color isnt coming thru yet since its still "new". hopefully with the sun it'll start to brighten up and with the frying of the dreadful hair straightener itll lighten up too. but anyway....i watched Juno the other night and just fell in love with that movie!!! Those songs are just the best!!!! Especially that last one that they sing together....awww how sweet!!! But i was thinking, what if these girls start to think that its ok to have sex and have babies and decide to give them up for adoption.....what then!!! theres gonna be babies all over with no real parents but adoptive ones....not that its bad or anything...adoption is AWESOME but for these little kids to start having sex at a young age is NOT COOL!!! [[sigh]] oh well, at least i wasnt preggers at the age of 15....heck im 23 now and i still dont have babies and dont plan on having one anytime soon. too much stress for me. buti still love those little suckers. WHATEVER!!! SOOOOOOO.....todays friday and of course new movies came OUT!!!!!!! YES!!! we havent been to the movies in a good while....i think its time! so i havent decided on what movie me and james want to watch The Forbidden Kingdom with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. and so do i, but i also want to watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. They both look sooooo good, maybe we can do a double feature. we'll see what happens. I need to start studying cuz Monday the prof is giving a Mock Test and if we get a better grade than on the final then he'll count that as our grade instead, plus he wanted us to write down important notes for class as study guides and i have not been doing anything this week!!!! its spring break and i need my break....and i STILL have homework for another class......UGH!!!!!!! id rather be srapbooking right now!!!!! [[sigh]]//////////////well im gonna get my butt up and go straighten my hair and clean up a bit!!!!

2008-04-14T09:53:00.003-04:00

This week is spring break for me and I'm glad cuz i don't have to go to classes, but it sucks cuz we ain't going anywhere. First of all, its too expensive to go anywhere and 2nd, James leaves to Cali next week, so its not like they will let him take leave days. so i guess ill just make the most of my week and scrapbook!! YAY!!! On the other hand tomorrow is our anniversary!! i cant believe we been married for THREE YEARS!!! i couldn't ask for a better husband, hes the best person and has brought out the best in me also. i love him so much that i don't know what i would do without him. Plus we have this amazing baby.....yes my cat!!!! i love that little sucker. but anyway, im so glad to have the little family that i have. Im made this layout last night for i challenge in a group and i like how it came out but i dont like the lighting of the picture i took of the layout..i might go take another picture later so it can be seen better. So this weekend we had a whole weekend thing planned out but it bombed!!! we were suppose to go to some arcade, but its not even built yet!!! so i was super disappointed!!! we were suppose to go feed the seagulls at the beach.....BUT THERE WERENT ANY!!! plus it was super windy and it looked crazy!!! the waves were super strong but i still went to put my feet in the water and it was COOOOLLLD!!!!!!! but it was still fun....but it turned out that there was a super huge storm coming that way and a tornado warning was not too far away either!!! what a bummer!! but we did get a chance to go eat some Hooters before it got bad.....it was YUMMY!!! i love hot wings!! but thats all we did this week, oh and we went to eat at Outback on friday for our anniversary dinner....DE-LIC-OUS!!! I wonder what ill be getting for my anniversay!!!! i cant wait!!

This second one is just a trial error one, but i still like it. ************************************************** so today has been an okay day side from it being nice outside. i need to get ta scrappin!!! i have soo much time right now, and i all i got to do is be on the computer....i think thats what im gonna go do. work on some stuff. like im in this rainbow swap and i chose yellow i decided to make tags on my part, i already have the idea in my head but my table is super messy and so discouraging to get them started, but that is what im gnna do now, clean up my space and start making them!!! well i guess thats it for now!!!!!!

OHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

2008-04-09T08:21:00.002-04:00

AHHHHHHHHHH REAL MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!! I forgot to blog yesterday!!!!....oh well, i had tooo much to do yesterday....well kinda. lol. but im up and early and ready to start the day!!! but i feel soo hungry though. im gonna take a shower first then eat breakfast, i need to make sure my hair dries up before i leave to school. so yea i saw Biggest Loser last night and it was AWESOME!!!!! i wish i could be on that show. oh well i guess ill just have to loose wieght on my own instead. i really hope Roger wins the third vote to be on the finale show next Tuesday. but anyhow......... Today i got class at 10am and i was suppse to read some chapter on google books but i havent read it cuz its sooo boring!!!! but ill try and get to school a little earlier than usual and try and read it in the car before class starts. its about womens rights and we are suppse to compare it to philosophy and thats just a little too hard for me to do. i hardly understand the class, how am i suppse to compare something with it.....i know theres a way but i guess im not trying hard enough. oh well!!!!!! So its almost time for me to go back to Dallas....i think i mentioned this already, but yea,....im kinda scared and anxious to go also....i dont know, we'll see how it goes when i get out there. Today im hoping to get in another 48 minutes of exercise and try to drink my 8 cups H2O for the day also. its been so hard dealing with this weight loss. i mean all together ive only lost 5lbs in the past 3-4 months, WW says thats normal cuz ur suppose to loose slow and steady but i want it FAST!!!!!! i guess i just need to step it up a notch. Well im going to get things done now. i will hopefully write some more later. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." -Joshua J. Marine

Doing a Little Sunday Bloggin

2008-04-06T09:13:00.003-04:00

Well i just woke up not too long ago hoping to get some exercise in before james wakes up.....BUT i havent....i need too, but i know we are suppose to go for a super long walk today and play a little bit of TENNIS!!!!!!! so im "kinda" excited about that, but who likes to exercise...i know i dont, but i have to though if i wanna get to where im comfy with myself. Its just been soo hard these past few months...james is leaving to Cali soon and then shortly after we go back to Dallas, but he doesnt get to stay.....he has to come back to gay Jacksonville, cuz he leaves to Iraq shortly after which sucks...i think its all been hitting pretty hard but i dont want him to know so he wont worry about me. i think im pretty strong but i make sure i dont show that cuz i LOVE to be babied!!!! hehehehe. Oh well thats just me though. But on a lighter note, im really hoping that i get to go to Michaels today(yes i know i said i wasnt going to give in to the chain but they have pretty much everything for 50% off!!!! and the Cricut Carts are $39.99!!! you cant beat that!!!!!if we do end up going i hope we get there as soon as it opens cuz then other ladies will get the good stuff and leave me with NADA!!!!!!!!! So yesterday was my cuzin's baby shower...well his wife which i still consider my cousin, but anyway, i really wished i was there, but i couldnt since im not in Dallas yet and Latoya decided to have the baby when i get there!! GRRRRR!!! she couldve waited...:( but yea my mom called me and told me that they got there almost 30 minutes before it was OVER!!!! i told her to get there early but she said they got lost!!!! but at least they showed up, thats the point that im getting to.I dont know how great or sucky the presents were but i hope they appreciated all of them though...what sucks is that Norma didnt even go, Jr of all people was there with all them kids and Norma couldnt of even made it to the Damn baby shower...that makes me soooo mad!!! I think she just doesnt like to go to social events, but she should at least take those kids out instead of leaving them at home to gain weight!!!!! and her too....thats just something im gonna have to fix when i get home, wel at least with the kids...but enough ranting, i need to wake up JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Morning Muggyness

2008-04-05T08:51:00.006-04:00

I havent been able to post in a while, so i have made a deal with myself. Starting today i will post at least something everyday from now, even if its just to stop by and give the wheater report. Its always great to remember what happened in my life and be able to look back on it. SO>>>>>>>>>that's what I'm gonna be doing. So i have been scrappin a bit more lately and my style has changed a bit....i think I'm finally finding my style...not too sure yet, but I'm still working on it. I also decided to start buying my scrap supplies online now cuz there is just soo much more variety in products than at ur LSS....ie...the chain!!! MICHAEL'S!! so that's another thing I'm gonna do from now on unless its things i necessarily absolutely have to have that minute. But anyway.....as for me, i been feeling soo down lately. i don't know whats wrong with me...maybe its the weather. we were suppose to go to a baseball game yesterday in Kinston...which we actually did, but it was soo packed that we just left and decided that we might go tonight.....depending on the weather...cuz it seems like horrible things are heading this way. but i was reading that the game got canceled last night anyway cuz they had a shortage in the city....so i don't know if they are gonna let new people buy tickets or will the same people from last night be in everybodys seats cuz there is suppose to be a new game tonight too.....IDK!!!! what a dilemma!!! we'll see what happens. we also went to this Mexican resturaunt last night too...it was pretty good but i ordered something that was tooooo spicy. dont get me wrong, i love spicy food (thanks mom) but this meal was BEYOND SPICY!!! but it was good though, i took food off of James' plate to bring the fire down. but i did like their beans and rice!!! but overall, even though we didnt get to go to the CANCELED baseball game we still had fun especially since the drive was like an hour long back and forth....so we had our fun in the car. but thats all for right now though.....or is it.....(DADADUUM)

BBTB Challenge

2008-03-20T13:23:00.005-04:00

Heres the cards i did for the BBTB challenge. here are the rules: DETAILS OF THE CONTEST 1. Create a card for a baby (girl or boy) using LIME GREEN and PINK for a girl OR LIME GREEN and BLUE for a boy. 2. Use RIBBON somewhere on the card. 3. Use at least ONE cut from ANY Cricut cartridge. On the first one i used just the sled on CC to make it look like a old fashion baby buggy and i did it for a boy. i used vellum for the wheels and hand stitched around to make the "spokes"(but i think thats the word for bike wheels...lol) and i embossed the carriage and added gifts to them. Other stuff used: blue buttons with bling attached to them and blue ribbon on the "B": Heres my second one on acrylic and i stamped all the flourishes on there. this one is a girl card:

My New Little Friend.

2008-03-13T08:26:00.008-04:00

Well, i just finished another little amigurimi cat. He/she(since im not too sure what gender to make it) took me forever to do cuz i wanted to make it look perfect. i wasnt too fond of the colors but i love'em though, i take it every where with me kinda like a purse cat and see what adventure it can get into. well heres my new little friend: I even gave it a little kimono. hopefully i can make more clothes for this unlike how i did witht the other one i made. oh and heres a good pic that i liked of it because i caught him getting thirsty!!!

Crazy In Love ♥

2008-03-11T11:14:00.006-04:00

Well i just finished doing another LO. i really like how this turned out. I get kinda blank when it comes to choosing a picture(s). its like i dont want to use the origianl one even though i have them saved on the computer, but also i like to reprint them and resize and possibly even photoshop them too, to give them a little oomf. on this one i used my sewing machine to stitch the doodles on top of the page, and i also used my cuttlebug to emboss the sheet metal that i have on there. the circles were done by the cricut using G&BS, and i really like how they came out. and i also free-handed the little picture on the photos in the middle using photoshop and my BAMBOO Pad & Stylus . Well thats all that i have for right now. hopefully i can get some more done later today or sometime this week. But for now...i gotta get ready to go to some "job" interview......BLAHHHH!!!! well TA-TA!!

My Honey Loves Anime'

2008-03-07T09:18:00.006-05:00

I finally got back into scrapping, its been about a month since i did anything, but my creative juices were flowing like crazy.....aside from the inspiration lo i was givin of course...but i think it turned out super awesome though!!!! i drew the picture on the right of the page and i photoshopped my husband and made him look like one of the characters from Sin City. i also hand punched all the little holes on the paper and drew brown circles on the vellum. i also doodled the border and journaled inside of it. Over all i loved how this turned out and so did my husband, its his favorite.

Whats that you say...Crafty Chic in the HOUSE!!!

2008-03-05T13:10:00.007-05:00

Well, aside from my scrapbooking and crocheting.....sewing is another thing im starting to LOVE LOVE!!! i just finished making my first purse!! and i love it..i was in need of a new purse and instead of paying $50 for a store bought one, i pretty much payed $12 for my fabric and it turned out pretty good. I wish i could make more and sell them, but hey whatever. at least i got me a new purse though.

Hatsu's First Adventure

2008-02-04T18:03:00.000-05:00

Hatsu....thats my name. I just recently started on my travels. My mom and dad have let me go to explore what i can on my own. I felt like there wasnt really much out there in this world...but that feeling changed after this past weekend. I decided to go find water...i dont know why, but i felt that water was a relaxing thing...(i guess its a thing...) so i went to this place called the "BEACH". That was a very scary experience...i thought that was the end of the world...why was there water splashing on the earth that way...but i finally realized that it wasnt there to get me. so i sat there admiring the waves and the sand...i especially loved the seashells....i think i might EAT one next time. Hopefully next time i can ride a sea animal.... ♥Hatsu

Baby IT IS Cold Outside!!!!

2008-02-01T14:24:00.000-05:00

Heres a couple of facts that happened on January 25th: 1881 - Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell form the Oriental Telephone Company. 1890 - Nellie Bly completes her round-the-world journey in 72 days. 1924 - The 1924 Winter Olympics opened in Chamonix, France (in the French Alps), inaugurating the Winter Olympic Games. 1942 - World War II: Thailand declares war on the United States and United Kingdom. 1961 - In Washington, D.C., John F. Kennedy delivers the first live presidential television news conference. 1971 - Charles Manson and three female "Family" members are found guilty of the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders. 2004 - Opportunity rover (MER-B) lands on surface of Mars. And now the big unveiling...... Id like to introduce for the first time every in the world "HATSU"[HAH tsoo]. Hatsu in Japanese means "first born" Zodiac Sign=[[Aquarius]] Element=[[Air]] Indian Sign=[[Kumbha]] Chinese Sign=[[Tiger]] Hatsu is barely learning what it is to be alive. Shes found a lil buddy, "Rabbit". Hopefully she can learn all her given traits that an Aquarius carries. Ive shown her pictures of what she was before and hid into a bag crying.....i felt soo sorry for her..but i explained that she is my animal and that i love her and i made her the way i wanted her to be. She still needs to learn on her understanding skills. but im gonna wrap it up now, and find what adventures await for Hatsu in the coming days!!!!

There has been soo much media over here. thats pretty cool, but not when it has to deal with something so horrible. but im sure everyone knows the story already about the Marine that got murdered by the other Marine....yada yada. thats so sad. i hope he gets caught....if i were to see him, id turn him in RIGHT AWAY!!! not only for the $25k Reward,
but because thats not right on what he did. But no matter what i still support my Marines no matter what, this doesnt make me have a different opinon on them cuz if i do...i guess i have to .:HATE:. my husband.....NOT!!! well thats it for right now, gotta get some homework done. Reading this book for Philosophy:
so im gonna do that. ok...WHATEVER!!!!

MY GOD!!!! now here goes my happy butt walking into class fifteen minutes late and just stand there and have the nerve to say..."IM SORRY" like if the proffesor was asking for an apology, and sure enough, my seat was taken by someone else so i had to seat next to MRS.I GOT A BLADDER INFECTION!!!!!
