I have been busy scrapping layouts and a few cards. i posted 2 of my cards on my favorite site, Scrapdango.com. I will try to post them here, but if I am unable to, you can view them there. We celebrated our 9th anniversary with 3 pound lobsters at our favorite restaurant, The Station House. After that, we continued the celebration at Friendly's with ice cream sundaes and sodas. Work has been slow. I was off work on Friday, so because my shingles pain is still with me, I opted to have another series of steroid injuections into my abdominal nerves. Thank G-d for drugs, as I didn't feel a thing. I am working tomorrow, and then off again on wednesday. i did apply for 2 jobs on line today. I sure hope that something comes up soon for full time. It is difficutl meeting the bills when you are only working about 25 hours a week!

Here is the first card that I made for my husband's aunt and uncle for their anniversary. We are seeing them Friday to celebrate with them.

I have been working on finishing up "old" layouts you know, doing the journeling. I find that the most difficult thing to do. Anyone else have that problem? Let me hear from you, and maybe we could give each other help in that department. I went to work today for a while. Sooo, boring, too much staff . Usually it is the other way around. Afterwards, I went to Jenny Craig to weigh in. Don't even know why I did, all I did was eat out every meal this weekend. Of course I gained about 2 1/2 pounds. It is such a struggle, especially since my husband won't loose weight and wants to eat out all the time. I told him this morning before leaving for work, that I am doing Jenny ALL week! We will see how long that lasts.

Did a few layouts yesterday and the day before. Will try and post them later today. I have started on my trip to Washington and to Victoria, Canada. I was a real nice trip except for the fact that my post shingle pain was still bothering me. YUCK!! I must admit, that I did get some good pics. I really enjoyed going with my son and daughter-in-law. I'm not too sure that they liked sleeping with me in the same room though. They BOTH said that I snored very loudly.


Last night DH and i went to a wedding on a party yacht on the inter coastal. we all got soaked as the bride and groom were saying their vows. Besides that, everyone had a good time.

I have DS and his fiance coming over for breakfast this morning. DH is suppose to go trap shooting, but I think that it is still raining, so he will be home too. I'm going to make it a lazy, scrappy day.

I am taking up the challenge of one of my favorite sites, Scrapdango, and creating a blog. this is my first attempt in writing. First, let me tell you a little about myself. I am a 50 something female, with three grown sons, a husband, and two cats. I love scrapping my photos and telling the story about them. My boys are 29, 27, and 25. the youngest two are in medical school and the oldest has been in the Navy for 11 years. the youngest is doing school thru the Air Force. the middle son, was in the Navy for 6 years, but didn't like it enough to stay any longer. My parents, who are 80 and 83, live about 2 miles from me. I speak to them every morning while going to work at the surgery center near me. I have one daughter-in-law, and one about to be daught-in-law. I really do love them both.
