Just Cinco De Mayo

Ok, so yesterday, cinco de mayo, I decided I  not only wanted to eat mexican food, but also wanted to do something with the cinco part.   I went with five things I've been wanting to do, but didn't take the time to.  And here they are:  

1.  Man, the car looks nice when its washed..........

2.  Get to another baseball game......

3.  Switch over to the summer bedding.....

4.  Call my favorite "auntie" in Flordia, who celebrated her 86th birthday recently.  Ends up, I'll be visiting her in person in a few weeks.

5.  Get to back to the gym.  Its been tough with this knee brace, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel - this thing is hopefully, off of my leg on the 18th.  I couldn't do any leg weights and am limited to the eliptical bike, but just doing something felt great.

Hope you enjoyed your cinco!!

Just the Weekend

So I hope everyone enjoyed their National Scrapbook Day!  Although we enjoyed the day, none of it, not one smidgen, included any scrap time. Bummer for me, but, the little guy enjoyed his first communion day so it was all good.

There was playoff hockey Saturday afternoon, too.  Go Bruins (they won last night, too)!

Sunday, we did a little house shopping - still nothing there -and  then spent some time with my parents at a great local restaurant.  I way, way overindulged - the lobster bisque was awesome, the baked stuffed shrimp amazing. 

The place is really cool - an 1850's home converted into an inn and a restaurant.  If you're local, check out Colonel Blackinton Inn.  You'll love it.

I had my nose in this here and there over the weekend, too.

Who isn't curious about Carrie as a teenager, right?

And there went the weekend!

I did find a little time to get to creating yesterday.  Time for new RAH DT projects!  I'm having a blast with this and so LOVING the yellow in this collection. 

Peeks of that coming soon!

I've yet to scan those other layouts I mentioned in my last post.  I'm hoping to get to that  over the next couple of days. 

And now, I'm off to catch Mr. DeWyze on American Idol!

Just Miscellaneous

Wow, the last seven days have absolutely flown by me!  Again!  Sometimes I just don't know where the time goes. 

I do know I lost a couple of days with my most precious, favorite girl who had an unfortunate accident at gymnastics........

Ouch!!  And she had qualified for the state competition too..........what a bummer. 

The rest, I guess - just miscellaneous stuff to get done.

Hmmm.........speaking of getting done - the condo with the red door isn't going to happen.  Suffice it to say the listing agent was the realtor from the dark side,  so our quest continues.

Oh well......... at least for today I was psyched today to finally spend time in my scraproom with the Studio Calico Joyland kit and add ons  from last month.  Its been a while since I've done several layouts  in one day, and it felt so, so good! 

Oh!  I loved  the bright colors in Pink Paislee's  Queen Bee collection and what wicked fun pleated twill - I'm thinking I want more.  Good thing I'm off to RAH tomorrow!

And these two are getting cuter by the day!  I don't know how they do it!  Fifty-six years married last Monday - I'm so blessed to have them.  Oh yeah.........thats where I was last Monday!

Will share the other two over the next couple of days.

OK - I'm off to watch Idol..........GO LEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a List

A quick Wednesday list.

Fall in love, again................check!

Book September vacation.............check!

Post  layout to blog..........check!

Buy movie tickets for Auntie Day........check!

Thats it for me!  Now I can go enjoy the sunshine!  Its supposed to hit 73 today!!!

Just another week!

Well, I'm thinking that since I've let another week go by without showing up here, I'll just catch up with a few words and photos.

So, in no particular order.


Been here,

and here twice

The one above may be the one.

Snacking on,

Watching DWTS, American Idol, Army Wifes, Law & Order and 20/20.

Creating with mist,

and mist and coffee filters,

and mist and  tissue paper

and newspaper and paint.

And tags and paint.

Lunching at Quan's, Papa Gino's, Panera and .

And just a few other silly things like little league, shopping for light fixtures with a friend, visiting mom and dad - you know, that stuff!

Happy Saturday!

Just Friday Faves on Monday and More Joy Ride

Well hello and happy Monday!  I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday yesterday! The weather here has been gorgeous and yesterday was no exception!

I'm not quite sure what it was exactly that got me sidetracked last week, maybe the beautiful weather, maybe shopping for new Roxy's or maybe even looking at a few more condos and even a house, but, I never got to posting my faves, so here they are!

First up, I've said it before and I'm pretty sure I'll be saying it again,

this guy, totally

Taking the number two spot, this photo, it really sums it up for me and is the one you'll find at Roxy on line......

Moving on to getting a box in the mail with these inside,

And really yummy, sort of good for you whole grain muffins.....

And taking spot number five, this on line class.  I've loved it.  If you get the chance, TAKE IT!!!!!!!

I finished my RAH Design Team projects for April last week.  I was thrilled to have had more Joy Ride goodness to play with!  So here are those peeks!

See you next time!!  Have a great day!
