Happy Memorial Day...

Update and Week In The Life Project...

Regarding my Week In The Life Project. Since I didn't decide to jump in until half of the first day was over I decided to scratch that week and try again the week of May 17, 2010. On the morning of May 17, 2010 we received a call that Rogers Mom had passed away late in the night on May 16, 2010 and that her funeral would be on May 19, 2010. She is one of the finest women I have ever met and I feel honored to have known her. I will miss her but never forget her. Rest In Peace Dorothy.
I thought about scratching my Week In The Life Project at that point but decided to move forward with it. I will dedicate May 19th, 2010 to Dorothy, my MIL. I have very few pictures of her so I will be contacting family members for some help here. And once again I have a ton of pictures to edit for this project which is definately not one of my favorite things to do. Someday soon I need to get up off it and get caught up on editing and printing pictures. I'm afraid to see just how far behind I am with this. I have plans to work on this tomorrow, we shall see.
Our 20th wedding anniversay was also on May 19,2010. I love this guy more and more everyday. He's such a great guy and I am a LUCKY girl : )
I wanted to learn more about my new Canon Rebel T1i so I have been taking a couple of beginner photography classes over at BPS this month.
My sister and I have made some big plans for next month but I'm saving that for another post.
My daughter celebrated her 30th birthday on Friday. I've yet to see her after the celebrating. I'll be seeing her later today. I hope she's sober by now as it's been a couple of days. LOL
Our Grandson has been with us since Friday night, we went to the 500 Festival Parade yesterday and his Pawpaw took him to see his first ever Indianapolis 500 mile Race today. I'm sure that they will have a great time. I will be attending a feast today at my sister and BIL's house. Our Granddaughter will be there and I hope to spend some time with her. Oh my... is she sweet...I love her to pieces. And I may have said this before but she looks just like her mommy did when she was a baby. Memories such sweet memories. They grow up so fast.
I will share some pictures tomorrow but I need to frost the brownies and get myself ready to go. I hope you all are enjoying your weekend.

Gotta Go,

A Week In The Life Project...

I haven't given up on this one. I've been busy editing pictures today but still have a few to go. I hope to place my picture order sometime this week. I have also printed out Ali's Sentiment Tabs, Daily Tabs and Journaling Cards. I have decided that instead of reinventing the wheel that I will just follow Ali's design for the album. I still have to pick out some papers but that shouldn't be to hard as I have plenty in my stash. I read a few blogs that are also working on this project and I love how the albums are coming together. I hope to have mine completed within the next couple of weeks.

Hello Blog World...

Hope you've all been well. It's been awhile since I've posted anything. Why you ask...LOL! You knew I was going to tell you anyway didn't you! Well honestly I don't know what happened. I have definately been in a slump though. I caught a bug (aches, cough, fever, sore throat, a bunch of spitting up junk, nose blowing and quite a few sleepless nights) around the end of March/first of April and it is taking me forever to get over it. I visited a mini clinic just a couple of days into it and the Dr. couldn't do anything for me, no meds to help with what I had. She did want to give me an H1N1 test but didn't have any at the time. The husband caught it about a week after I did and about a week after that our litte Deuce caught something and is now of three different meds. We were to sick to visit with the Grandbabies on Easter : ( the weather was beautiful by the way) and needless to say I have not been working on any of the things I set out to do this year. Hopefully I can get back to them soon.
I have decided to save Project Life for next year, I missed entirely too many days of taking pictures. Instead I will be doing A Week In The Life from Ali Edwards blog which I just decided on this afternoon. I have taken a few pictures and have written some notes to go with them. I plan to sit down a little later and plan it all out. I'm pretty sure its going to be a 8 1/2 x 11 album but other than that I not sure of just yet. I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy your week!

Two Weeks In...

Still keeping up with the steps and hoping for better weather. I was short on steps a couple of days last week but not to bad. I'm down to just a couple of diet cokes a day and I'm drinking alot more water than I usually do. Not doing to bad with the sweets either.
I'm way behind in my scrap classes but lucky for me I have forever access. YEA and thanks BPS.  I'm still taking a picture a day for project life and working on my scrap room a little at a time. I have tons of pictures to edit and print and I can only be on the computer a little at a time, my left wrist/hand is giving me fits. If it keeps hurting I may end up seeing a doctor.
We had our Grandson over for a couple of nights this weekend. We watched the movies UP and Aladdin ( I LOVE the movie UP), we ate pizza, popcorn and ice cream, played games and colored. He keeps us busy but we LOVE it. He and Pawpaw went to a motorcycle show yesterday and he got to ride a motorcycle for the first time. He loved it...pictures later. They also went to Bob Evans for breakfast today. My sister and I visited the Zoo yesterday and I stayed home today to do housework. And just like that the weekend is over.
Hope you all enjoyed yours.

Staying On Track...

It's been a week now since I've decided to wear away instead of rust away. So far...so good. I've walked 10,000 steps or more each day for an entire week. I am down to only two diet cokes a day and I've been watching the sweets. I woke up around  2:00 am to 3:00 am Monday-Friday morning with a terrible headache. I think this might be the problem...

I started using it on Sunday and I used it up until Thursday. On Friday I decided that it might be the cause of the headaches so I didn't use it. It seems to throw me off balance and I tend to over correct and tense up. I haven't used it all weekend and I haven't had any HEADACHES since Friday morning. So for now I'm walking around the house like a crazy woman trying to get the steps in. I can't wait for the weather to break so that I can walk outdoors. Gotta go get those s..t..e..p..s in.

Feeling A Bit Rusty...

"You can either wear away or rust away" something that was said to my husband last month. Well I got to thinking that I'd rather not rust away so starting today I've decided to do something about it. One must start somewhere so...

This is where I've decided to start!

It's not as easy to get these steps in as one would think. Try It.
I used an eliptical machine today but when the weather breaks I plan to do some walking/hiking outdoors.
I am also going to be working on better eating habits. I will be cutting back on sweets and diet soda and I will be adding in fruits and lots of water. From here I plan to add some other type of exercise to my routine each week or two. We have a weight machine, freehand weights, the WII fit and quite a few exercise DVD's so I have plenty of options here at home. I'll let you all know how this works out for me. If you stop by...Wish me luck!

Happy Valentines Day,
