The weekend at.....

...Camp Duncan. That is what we call our Cabin. Camp Duncan....just like the President has Camp David we have camp Duncan. That place always seems to work for me. I was stuck on this stupid layout for five days and went to Duncan and in 1 hour I was done.....so tomorrow, I think after another walk around the lake and some NASCAR I will be good to go! Here is our little #18...it don't look like much from the outside, but looks can be deceiving.

Beaver remorse.....

Well our defending State Champs got beat out at the Nebraska State Basketball Tournament tonight. I was kind of sad for our boys that they lost, but that was a tough game, they played great and then something well to crap. Life isn't near as exciting in St. Edward this State Basketball weekend as it was LAST State Basketball weekend...TRUST ME! That was a Night NO one will forget.

Almost one month....

Since I stopped eating Chocolate and Potato Chips...UGGHHH!! This plain and simple is HARD, BUT I have been doing just fine. Man take a close look at this photo....it is a CHOCOLATE COVERED POTATO CHIP!! YES....that is right. The Chocolate and Potato Chips lovers dream :)



Now it is on to Diet Coke and carbs. The carb thing...I am just limiting the bread thing......

Oh and my new best friend is my little Bow Flex Stairclimber that Ron bought for me. We have both been using quite regularly. Ron watches flight training videos and I watch Cartoons. I know.....he likes learning....I like laughing. Makes my workout better if I can giggle through it.

Mini Challenge Layout....

I did this layout for a Mini-Challenge at Treasures to Scrap. We had to scrap a way in which we make others happy. I have to be honest...the idea for this layout came rather quickly, but the design was a challenge....but you know...I really like this. At first I hated it! I hated the title and everything about it, but the more I worked on it the more I began to like it.

This layout Kind of gave me a kick in the pants that I missed the smiley me and hate the cranky me. I stared at this photo of me and kept thinking....why have I been so darn mad lately.......it really doesn't prove anything. So here I am......laughter truly is the best medicine, or at least smiling has been for me.

This is probably going to be my favorite layout for the week.

Despite....

Clint's....well rather frustrating NASCAR run on Sunday in Vegas....he had....

Just has to CLEAN! I had CRAP loads and loads of CRAP all over my upstairs and IT WAS DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS! SO I practiced my favorite technique of getting stuff done. 15 minutes of flying. NO not airplane flying....Flylady flying. Bye bye clutter hello happy place!

I am going to post some pictures of my work in progress in a few! OK here they are.......

My Upstairs hallway After:

GOSH do I need...

Some time for myself.

I have SOOOO much to do, but I just get what I can done, then I throw in the towel. I have NO idea why I am soooooo unmotivated this week other than I feel lost in time. Strange I know, but I think I am so glad to have a week at home that I don't even know where to start. I guess I need to start with doing something for myself. Hummmmmmmmm.....what to do??? Guess I will have to think about it and update this later. My Carma is all messed up.....when my carma is messed up....I am messed up!!

We will see if Ron really did figured out how to follow the link to my blog.

Do you like this picture. We could set this one as you background..........

Here is what I don't get......

WHY would the people at the Speedway in California NOT Postpone the race earlier last night. Those poor drivers, their bodies are on Eastern time and they kept them up half the night telling them that they might race! I sincerely feel for everyone involved. So, it means my day is totally messed up. So much for my box sorting today!! Instead I am listening to Clint on his scanner and watching the race between some scrapping and cleaning my kitchen. Now I don't have to clean my kitchen later this week.

AND not to mention the WEATHER today! OH joy!! Let's see....what can I post.....I know a picture of the LAKE in the Summer....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY

The best of best birthday wishes to my brother Larry!! I hope you have a wonderful day and here's to many more. You are such an awesome brother. A super Dad, a wonderful Husband and just a great person. I admire so many things that you are......you have a wonderful family and the respect of so many.

In Memory.....

Of My sweet Friend Jeannie who passed away over the weekend. I am absolutely CRUSHED to have lost this dear dear friend!! My heart is broken!!

I first met Jeannie online, when I showed up at Scrapfest in 2007 I was so nervous and the first person to run up to me wrap her arms around me and make me feel so comfortable was Jeannie. She instantly made me feel comfortable and very much a part of the celebration. I was constantly finding myself around her at Scrapfest.......she was truly a wonderful wonderful woman!

As scrapfest I won these really cool words that she made. Her husband cut the words out and she decorated them. I have one at my Cabin that says relax and it is in my window and everytime I look out at the water I have to look at that and everytime I always thought of her....TODAY even more......

I don't even know what to say. I am very very sad......She was one of the most beautiful people I ever met!!



This is Myself, my friend Terry and Jeannie at Scrapfest. Two wonderful and truly awesome woman. I will MISS YOU JEANNIE!!!!!

My Favorite Layout....

Starting the first of the year, I put a goal on myself of doing a layout for each day of the month. I have been keeping up for these two months and for that I am very happy. I's like to pick a layout From this week that is one of my favorites I have done. This is it:



It is a photo of Ron and I on our Cruise in December that Angie took for us. I really like this photo...it is so us!
