the weekly Sunday night post

Sunday night AGAIN and I have the blues AGAIN. We received a message on our voicemail Friday that our electricity will be shut off tomorrow so they can finally fix the line in our development. It has been an ongoing thing. We never know when we will be without power. This means no shower, no toilet and bedhead hair for the day. I plan to wake up extra early tomorrow in hopes that I can beat the shut off time.

It was a relaxing weekend. I didn't do much except the usual house stuff and laundry. Today I cooked off a pumpkin and then made homemade chocolate chip pumpkin muffins. I must say the house smelled good this afternoon.

I sure hope this week goes by quickly. I am tired of school right now, but it seems that most of the teachers are feeling this way. I think the district put way too much on our plates this year. I just wish I could get out of this funk.

So, here's to having electricity in the morning and a brisk, fall day without rain!

I just don't know...

one step forward and two steps back...that's the story. Off to get ready for work. I am ready for the weekend. Heck, I am ready for summer vacation.

four days...

I just got back from four days at a SB retreat house. It was so nice to leave my worries and responsibilities at home and just scrap, laugh and have fun. I was finally able to finish the land part of our Alaska trip this past summer as well as a mini album for my niece and a random LO called snake busters. I was quite happy with this LO as it was the first time I actually sewed on a LO...thanks to LOTS of help from a friend.




Now it's back to day two of reality...WORK. I can't wait until April until I get to do it all again.

Here's to Autumn...it's finally here.

what????

I cannot believe it's been forever and ever since I last updated this blog. I guess it's time for an update. Life is busy, school is super busy and I am busy. There is not much new with me, same old stuff, just a different day. I am looking forward to a three day weekend. And then, two days of work and I am off for four days of fun scrapbooking...I am so looking forward to it. And you know what? I really don't care how many layouts I complete...just can't wait for four days of NO RESPONSIBILITIES! So, I am trying to get all the house stuff done tonight so I can enjoy my three day weekend. Adios, Amigos!

Here's to colorful leaves and apple cider!

another week gone by...

Well, week three down and it was hectic. Parent's night is under my belt and now it's on to GIEP's. I have two this week and then I need to schedule two more for revisions. I love my job, but I really dislike writing GIEP's. Now that I think about it, I don't dislike writing the GIEP, I dislike the forms...with the way technology is today, one would think the forms would work. Geesh, it takes me longer to make the form look professional than it does to write the GIEP. I just need to get through the week and then I am golden. Thursday's meeting will be the tough one. Say a prayer for me and wish me well.

Saturday was a fun day. I spent it at my LSS cropping from 8AM-10PM. I worked all day long on my Alaska album. I am getting closer to finishing, but not near done! To tell you the truth, I am not tired of the Alaska photos, but I am tired of trying to find paper to match the photos. It was great to see friends and just connect and laugh.

Today was the usual...groceries and laundry. Lighty ended up going for a long bike ride today to see his prince and buddy. No need for me to go with him. So, I didn't make the trek to Bloomsburg. No love loss there...and believe me, I am so not wanting the prince to come home for his Thanksgiving break. It's been just too peaceful here at the house.

So now it's off to prepare supper and then a full night's worth of GIEP writing and schoolwork. Have I said it often enough "I really dislike Sunday nights."

Here's to a smoothe night of writing goals, plenty of glasses of iced tea, and lots of breaks for my sanity.

Sunday Night Blues

Well, it's my Sunday night post...least favorite time of the week. I had a good weekend. I made more sauce...so many tomatoes from the garden and I didn't want to have to throw them out or have them go bad on me. I also made another batch of fresh salsa. I love having this for my lunch. Nothing better than a little bit of salsa, some scoops, and vanilla yogurt with some granola. I am trying to eat a little bit healthier for lunch this year.
I also was able to do a little bit of shopping this weekend too. I scored some pants that were on sale, a very cool jacket, a few tanks (I love me some tanks and wear them all year long), a great sale at Vicky's (had to stock up on my lotion, body spray and shower gel), and bought a new cool belt and purse. Retail therapy is always good for the soul!

So, here's to a new work week and hoping it goes by fast.

the end...

The end of a work week is soon here and it will be time to celebrate. Do you see me doing the happy dance? I don't have much planned this weekend except to get caught up on laundry and to make some more fresh salsa. Our tomato plants will soon be gone so I have to enjoy the freshness while I can. I should also dispose of the plants that are dieing a slow death around the outside of the house. I also hope to scrap the weekend away. I am slowly making a dent in our Alaska album. I guess that is why I don't have much to show you in LO's. I do have a LO that I did about a week or so ago. It is a photo from last summer...catching a locust escaping from its shell. So cool.


Here's to Nyquil, Mucinex and a Vick's Inhaler!!!
