Just one of those days…

August 9th, 2010

Shelly

I am having one of those all around crappy days. You know the kind where you wake up because you have to get up…not because you want to. Then everything is annoying. I don’t feel like doing anything. ANYTHING.AT.ALL Like I want to go back to bed and sleep the rest of the day. I have work that has to be done and I have kids that wouldn’t let me sleep anyway. I don’t want to be online, I don’t want to answer emails, I don’t want to sew, I don’t want to do anything, but I am. I have answered messages, I have made lunch and a tuna casserole so that Jake has something to take for dinner tonight (no one else in this house will touch tuna with a 10 foot pole!), I have made a pot of coffee for my frappucinos, I have cut out and started on a zippy wristlet and key fob for an order that I am finishing up, I put away all the clean laundry, and I just started my 2nd washer load today… I am drinking a RockStar Energy Drink, but even that’s not helping! I am just a pathetic mess today…seriously, I have no business being around anyone until I feel better! I really think I am working too hard and not getting enough sleep. I don’t know…

I hope tomorrow will be better, but an 8am visit to the dentist with 2 kids, one of whom absolutely hates going to the dentist, may not be the best way to start the day!

I don’t even have a good picture of my own today…maybe these will make me feel better!

My very favorite werewolf. Alcide!

My favorite Vampire, Eric!

My 2nd favorite Vampire, Edward!

Maybe I do feel a bit better….

Lazy Saturday?

July 3rd, 2010

Shelly

That would be nice, but I have too much to do today! I have been working on a diaper bag and accessories for a few days and I am still not done because our stinking Walmart NEVER has the ribbon I need. And I do mean never, seriously, it doesn’t matter what color I need, if it’s the only color they are out of it’s the one I need! At least the last 4 times I have gone in there, 4 different colors, it’s the one that is always gone. I need bright pink this time! So, I have the bag and accessories in different stages waiting for the ribbon, which I have Jake picking up for me at another Walmart this morning. So, I have those things to finish up today and then I want to make myself a wrist strap for my camera. I took my strap off the other day to take pictures of the new wrist strap that I made for someone. I still haven’t put the strap back on and I want a wrist one so I figured I would just make one really quick today. I have have to decide what fabric to use! I need to have it for the 4th of July party that we are going to tomorrow night. I also need to figure out how to take better fireworks pictures, but I don’t know if I have time for that! If anyone has any tips they would be GREATLY appreciated!

This is something I am going to try to tackle this coming week, it’s a project that kind of came from this idea. Only I am incorporating that into a picture wall. This is what I have so far (and some of the photos need to be changed out!)

That is the living room wall above our couch. I am going to add the letters into the collage of photos and add more sizes of photos eventually when I pick up some more frames. Here are a few of the letters that I have picked up so far.

The idea is to do lots of the ‘G’ and then add in letters for each of our first names. These are all from Michaels so I haven’t hit Joanns or Hobby Lobby yet. I want to do them all in shades of black, off white. I am going to decopauge some book text pages on some of the bigger ones, like the biggest G. We’ll see how long it takes me! The hoop is for another wall project that I am getting ready to start. I am going to do some fabric hoops and then do some scrappy hoops to hang in my sewing area. That should be fun too! Watch for updated pictures of my walls in the future.

I am chomping at the bit to go see Eclipse again, but I won’t be able to go for a few weeks probably. So I am going to settle for re-reading the book and I had to make a new desktop wallpaper to look at while I am sewing!

Isn’t he pretty?! It’s even better when it’s covering my whole screen!

Well, I have to get to work on laundry, sewing, cleaning and making cookies for the party tomorrow!

Have a Wonderful 4th of July!!

Vacation Week

July 1st, 2010

Shelly

Not for me, but Jake is on vacation this week. We really haven’t done anything, but it’s been nice just staying home. Jake did take the kids swimming yesterday and they are going again this afternoon and probably in the morning. They are hitting the free swim at each of the pools in town this week!

I took yesterday off from sewing to go see Eclipse…it was awesome and I am ready to see it again! It was FAR better than the last one which makes it a million times better than the first one! Everyone looked better in this one, the vampires weren’t so pasty which was good. I didn’t like Jasper or Emmett’s hair in this one though, I don’t understand why they have to do it different in each one. Jasper looked the best in Twilight, but I liked him more in this one because he was more a part of the story this time and he actually got more than one or two lines. Edward…don’t even get me started, he looked incredible and it was nice to see more of him in this one than what we saw in New Moon. I am in love all over again!

I even enjoyed the Jacob/Bella kiss, but not more than the “leg hitch” scene with Edward. At that point I wish I’d had a remote so that I could rewind it!! I think I will have to take Bailey to see it some time in the next few weeks…

I have so much work to do today since I didn’t do anything yesterday. I am not off to a great start either since it’s already 11:30! I guess I really should get to it. I have more to say, but I think I will wait until tomorrow…have a good one!

The one where I say I am still busy…

May 5th, 2010

Shelly

hmmm, how’s that for a post title! Maybe I should do all my post titles like this, kind of like Friends Episodes, or some TV show that does them like that. It’s hard to come up with a witty post title when you aren’t doing anything exciting!

Basically, besides working there isn’t much going on around here. I have been sewing, reading, cleaning, sewing, doing laundry, shipping orders, getting caught up on Fringe, sewing…you get the idea! I am FAR from being caught up, but I don’t think I will ever be caught up at the rate I am going and I am fine with that, really.

This past weekend Jake was off Friday-Monday so we were able to get all the way caught up with Fringe and we started Tru Calling. We even watched both Transformers movies and went to see Nightmare on Elm Street in the theatre on Saturday while the kids were at a movie birthday party. I think it’s been almost a year since we saw a movie in the theatre together! I have seen a few on my own, but we don’t go together very often, mainly because we don’t have a babysitter most of the time and Jake doesn’t want to see most of the movies I do! I read this morning that Breaking Dawn (at least the 1st installment, if they do 2) will be in theatres November 18, 2011…that’s craziness! Two whole years after New Moon….18 months after Eclipse! Oh well, what can you do?

Last week I made a slide show of all my layouts for the kids to watch on the DVD player so they wouldn’t have to try to find them all on my computer. Watching that made me realize how much I miss digital scrapbooking. I really need to find the time to do at least a page a week. I have only done one all year, it’s sad really. I did literally hundreds of layouts in 2008, then only a handful last year and only one this year. I miss it…

I just finished my 49th book of 2010 this morning! My 50th book is going to be The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I haven’t bought a book in months and I was on the list for this one at the library, but I was in Walmart the other day and they had the first two in the series and so I just bought them! I have heard good and bad things about them, but I am hoping that I will like them. The sad thing is that I had never heard of them until I was watching Real Housewives of NYC about a month ago and one of the girls was doing an interview and flirting hopelessly with this reporter and he asked her what the last book she read was. I don’t remember what she said (probably because I really don’t care for her!), but he told her that he read an amazing book by a Swedish writer names Stieg Larsson called The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Then I started seeing it and hearing about it everywhere it seemed…so I knew that I had to add it to my list! Hopefully I will like it and I know there is a movie in production right now so even better!

Hmmm…what else? The kids only have about 3.5 weeks of school left. They are excited, but I don’t know how I will get any work done during the day! I am hoping that we will be able to do some fun stuff this summer. We need to make a list like we did last year and see how many things we can do. I am glad for Bailey that this year is almost over. She has had a rough year with a not so wonderful teacher. We have a few years until Colton will be in 4th, but I pray that this teacher is gone before we have to deal with the boys being in her class.

Well, I have work to do, but I will leave you with this…

Are you ready for June 13th? I know I am!!
