The very next day after my last post... I was at home sick all day. The hard part about being sick (other than missing the pay on my check)... was my homework / studying in all five classes also suffered. I didn't do so well on some things... well... let's just say I could have done better but just didn't care to. That's not a great attitude to have.
So... now I get to make up for all that. But... I am feeling much better!
Hope your Valentine's Day was a great one. Thanks for stopping by.
I've been sneezing ... tired ... itchy eyes ... drainage and feeling so blah for two days!! Don't say it..don't say it... maybe it's not true. I'm tired but can't get enough sleep... so I just lay there and think of 1000's of things. Once I do fade away... my husband says I snore so loud he can't sleep good. Aaagghh... this is not looking good for a valentine's weekend.
So... right now... I'm headed to bed to "try to get some sleep"... right after I finish this hot cup of peppermint hot chocolate.
Nite Nite..
I'm so glad Friday is finally here. Between visiting the dentist office twice for my youngest son, studying for quizzes and chapter tests in all 5 classes, writing a 3-page art critique ... today couldn't get here fast enough.
But it's here now ... ... and I'm so very excited about that !!
Hubby and I have plans to hang with some friends tonight. It's been a while since we've done anything with other couples so I'm really looking forward to spending time with everyone. Kids are with mammaw !!
Valentine's Day is next weekend... I've made really cute cards for my co-workers and family. I'll upload pictures soon.
Hope all is well your way. Drop me a line... let me know what you're up to these days.
That's what I am lately. School is already a CONSTANT in my daily schedule. I'm definitely keeping to my calendar so I won't get behind.
I can tell that this semester is gonna kick butt if I don't focus.
Last weekend I crafted some. I put together several scrapbook pages and made some really cute Valentine's cards. I'll get a picture uploaded soon.
I got notice today that my 20 year high school reunion is this July. Ahhh...just don't know if I am going to that. I'm not big on those type events. We'll just wait until closer time to make a decision on that.
I finished the four Vampire books ... soooo good! I have another book from the same author (Stephanie Meyer) to read this Summer. I can't wait to find out just how good that book is gonna be.
Hope all is well your way!
school starts back in less than 24 hours. Ready or not... five classes headed my way.
Also... check out some of my moms newest pottery creations...

Tootles...
I got a letter from Ole Miss congratulating me on being accepted in the Fall. I'm so stoked about this. I had this listed as one of my goals for 2009... and I can't believe that I've already marked it off the list. This is going to be a great year...I can just tell already.
School starts next week (19th) so I've got 7 more days of "freedom" then it's head down...study...study...study.
Hope all is well your way.
First...let's get something straight... my plate is already FULL at the moment...and I'm not a big fan of reading books, but after reading just the first chapter of Twilight...
I WAS HOOKED.
This vampire love story is AWESOME!! DO YOU HEAR ME ... AWESOME. There are four books in the series and I've just finished up the second book. I was on chapter three this morning and will finish up the last chapter (24) tonight.
I avoid any converstation about the movie because I don't want anyone to spoil the ending for me. That would just be miserable. So... if you haven't heard about it... I highly recommend it. Great reading material.
Rush out and get your own copy today !!
Something to show you ... made this before I left out for the weekend ... keep it at my desk at work ... a flip-flop calendar. Three months at a time (seasonal) are shown... just untie the ribbon turn inside out and tie back together. Super easy to make...gonna make about 18 more for friends at work. One image is missing... it's just a simple tree with green leaves and a few colored blooms...(Summer)
This is Fall...
This is Winter...
This is Spring...
It's much cuter in person.
PS... for those wondering...I didn't get a deer this weekend...but had a great time. It got my beautiful necklace I ordered in the mail, along with one of the four vampire books (got the second book) and the other three should be here on Tuesday. I'm waiting on my school books to arrive and school starts back on the 19th. Things are bound to get hectic soon. Hope you had a great New Years Day. Be sure to set some goals for a purposeful 2009.
over the holiday season ...
Cookies ... (and I don't like to cook)...
and some for the dogs ...
ornaments ...
and playdoh kits ...
Doesn't seem like much...but TRUST ME... I had TONS of each to create. Glad it's over with... stressful doesn't even begin to describe it.
Count down to the NEW YEAR!
As I grow older I start to view things in different ways. The stresses and emotions that were so heavy years ago...well...they just don't seem to matter any more. I am finding that for me, the true way to find happiness is to simply look for it in everything. Of course, there have been hard times in my life and I terribly miss those who have passed away that meant the world to me ... but ... what makes me smile now is how deeply grateful for the time spent with them I had. My memories will keep me going and keep them alive in my heart.
This past year was good for me. I made some big changes in my life that have changed who I am now and who I plan to be in the future. One major change is teaching Sunday School. It's amazing how I've grown emotionally attached to the Kindergarten boys in my class. I actually miss them when I'm not there and they remind me how much they missed me too. I can't help but hug them constantly and they in turn enjoy being close to me by either sitting near me or on my lap. It's definately a bond that speaks without words.
Another big change is continuing my goal to graduate college. I am so proud of myself for having finished three semesters last year (Spring, Summer and Fall). I'm signed up for Spring semester 2009 and as of July of 2009 I will have graduated ICC, took the Praxis I and be ready to start Ole Miss in the Fall. I've filled out the application for Ole Miss and tentively scheduled my first semester there. I plan ahead too much...but would rather have a plan to change than not have one at all.
Thank you for taking the time out of your busy life to peek into mine. I'm grateful for such wonderful friends. I wish you and your family many blessings. Merry Christmas!
I am addicted to scrapbooking, paper crafting and a major frog collector.
