Good morning! Would you believe that i actually slept late?? Of all mornings for me to sleep late.... Gah!!
Just a quick visit from me right now- I have to get the kitchen cleaned up and then finish cooking.
I still am having such a huge urge to scrap-- would it be ok to cancel the party to do that??
love to all!!!

hi, O-zies! a cold and rainy one where i am, but i did manage to do my roundandround walk out back and hose some of the wood chips off the patio after Al the Tree Guy ground out the stump of tree we had taken down. now, i have to iron. Laurie, i'd rather be going to a real band dance!
Chris, cancel the party and sit in your clean house and make Fairy pages! and eat party snacks!
Marie, i actually managed two pages, too, which is SO rare for me. i was totally inspired by Dido's {boo} kit!

I was out of the house early this morning. Had a meeting out of town for a women's retreat I am working in a couple of weeks.
Just got home. Hubby is golfing. son is here for the day. Weird having people in my house besides hubby. It's good to see him though.
I need to read material for that class I am taking. Then think about a couple of LO's. Lately all I have had time do to is scrap for the CT team and the class. Maybe I'll take time out to scrap for "me."
Chris--hope your party goes without a hitch!
Laurie--the dance sounds like fun! Dance your heart out!!
Phyllis--cold and rainy....yuck!! I love your LO's--so inspiring!
Hope everyone has a restful and fun weekend.

Ok...took me a little bit longer to get back here than I thouwberry ght. Sydney had a soccer game this morning and we picked up my dad before we left. It was 40 degrees when the game started and windy... Brr...
Then Dad took Syd and me to breakfast. Dad had a country skillet and Sydney had a strawberry crepe, cheese omelet and bacon. I had oatmeal...trying to improve my cholesterol. Urghhhhhhh....
Then Syd went to a birthday party and I watched an old episode of thirtysomething. I loved that show...when I was thirtysomething!
Now I'm going to spend some time paying bills and getting my office organized!

So, to catch you up on me. I went to the cardiologist on Friday and he had me wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. That silly thing is off now...thank goodness! I am also scheduled for an echocardiogram on Monday afternoon. He said that my cholesterol was bad and that my HDL (good cholesterol) was really low. So, I have not had any caffeine since Tuesday. And now I'm avoiding sweets and fats. I guess I'll have to return to scrapping for my comfort since I sure won't be getting it from food.
Wish that I had one of you exercise gals living near me to get me inspired to take a walk. Oh well, guess I'll just need to do my own motivational speeches!

Just a quick check in-- I survived the party. But not to happily with my family (hubby and kids). Got next to no help from them. I over did it this past week and worked here from 9am til t got in the shower around 2pm. I didn't even have time to eat a thing until 3 pm. And I don't think I got to sit down for more than a few times during the party. I got a few pics of Christopher, and a few of my kids- but they are all making stupid faces.
ATM, I am feeling quite cranky, which makes me even more aggravated that I haven't had a chance to scrap the last few days when I had the urge.
I am gonna drink my coffee and come back when I am happier.
:hug:

TRUDY!! eeee! i want to be THERE!! have a great time and take loads of pictures. i wanna SEE!
Nana. i got up at 3:30. were you up then? same reason as you, except not the hot part. does this weather change stuff hit you? man, felt like i was run over by something heavy and stupid yesterday, and still do. congrats on your successful yard sale!
Marie, i like "attic sale!" it sounds so elegant, like we're setting out family heirlooms.
Linda, i have one word for you: Lipitor. a few years ago i went on a diet with a dietician. no crazy stuff. my cholesterol at the time was about 212 and i figured it was time to do something. so, sane diet, lost 30 pounds. cholesterol and triglycerides SKYROCKETED. cholesterol went UP over 50 points. dr. said it had to be a mistake. tested again. nope. so i threw my hands up in the air and said: that's it. give me the pill! since i'm on a low carb diet to control the Diabetes Thing, i eat more fat than most. and my cholesterol is never over 170. all the other cholesterol numbers are beyond perfect, too. so, whatever Lipitor does, it's just what i needed. i've been on it for about 5 years. think about it. i think it's generic now, so not expensive.
Chris, that's part of why i decided not to do the extended family Christmas dinner anymore ( after being the only one to do it for almost 20 years...):no help, or not enough, and people doing strange, inconsiderate and thoughtless things to me while i'm in the middle of working my A&& off. i may be many things, but a doormat is NOT one of them. :amen:
up a 3:30 a.m. today. long, strange muscle pain story i won't bore you with. so, when it became clear i wasn't going to sleep anymore, came downstairs and tapped on my cool new police/emergency/fire band APP and listened to what the city was doing in the wee hours. loud party (at 4:00 a.m. ??) violent domestic in an apartment bldg. ( who the heck FIGHTS with their spouse at 4:45 a.m.??), and my personal fave, "man in alley wearing only socks, dancing."
happy Sunday! dance naked in your socks where no one can see you! :fear:

Ladies I love how you make me smile- LIndaS & Nana- I joined an online bootcamp with private videos I can access on my time to complete my workouts on my schedule- we shall see- I have not changed my eating and I cheated and stepped on the scales and I must have lost 5# and gained 5# of muscle cause the scale hasn't budged- but I have more energy so I am going to stick with it, it is only 8 weeks- I'll keep you posted of my progress- I know my dr and I will have the cholesterol talk at my appt on the 4th as mine has been rising, along with my weight. yikes!!!!!
