10 Random things that happened this weekend that I will NEVER EVER forget!

So I haven't laughed as hard as I did this weekend in a very long time. I can't believe what a great time we had in Blairmore. Our little group just clicked and we laughed, and shared TMI and laughed some more. Such a good time....
So here are a couple of memories from the weekend...

1. I had no idea that we were supposed to dress up for the weekend in some sort of costume.... and I don't think anyone else did either..... so maybe the Pebbles getup was just her outfit for the day.... but seriously, who would wear that???? In public????

2. Smooth legs are an inappropriate gift, however watching Shannon demonstrate how the personal hair removal should be done it highly entertaining.

3. Looking at another person's hemorrhoids isn't fun for anyone.

4. Day old cheesecake, Sezme Snaps and a card with a skunk on it isn't romantic.

5. Rhea and I were twins separated a birth, and were also separated by two years.

6. Black Cat Sandwich (sung to Cat Scratch Fever.... clearly)

7. Tara has always said she loves confrontation, but this weekend Tara really did it up nice. I almost had an accident watching her, so I am sure that little one had to change her underwear before going home.

8. I kissed a squirrel and I liked it, the taste of her nutty chapstick.

9. Calling someone by the name you think they are rather than the name they really are still gets their attention.

10. I am a little bummed that I didn't get an invitation to the eating chips and farting party..... Maybe next time.

I had such a fun time this weekend. My stomach hurts from laughing, and I am pretty sure I am still on a little high. Thanks ladies.

Layout #112 and #113

Well... I only finished fourteen pages this weekend. No where close to the thirty some projects I had planned, but I am pretty happy with most of them. I lost my mojo after breakfast on Sunday morning and wasted a good chunk of the morning on the world's most boring layout, but these are a couple that I was happy with.

I am glad that I finally finished a layout about myself. It has been sitting in a bag for the longest time, and I am really quite pleased with it. I didn't know quite what to journal about. I think that might be why I am so hesitant to scrapbook myself. I don't know what to say without sounding conceited.... Anyhoo, I wrote about all of the things I sometimes let slide in my daily life.

And this photo of Grant and Cohen is one of my all time pictures EVER.... I love it. It was only this weekend that I realize Cohen still had a whole bagel in his hand which is quite cute, because I took this picture on their way back to shore, and they had been gone for about half and hour. Cohen must have been too preoccupied to eat!

Today is the day......

... the day I get to start having a break from all of the chaos of my life
... the day I get to spend a little quality time with two of my closest friends
... the day I get to laugh so hard I might wet myself
... the day I get to eat peanut butter
... the day I get to leave all of the laundry and meals, and bathing the kids, and refereeing fights to my husband
Today is the day I am leaving for a weekend of scrapbooking! I can't wait. In less than six hours, I will be out the door, and on my way. What I really should be doing at the moment is finishing packing, but alas, here I sit.... thinking about how productive I will be this weekend. And if I am not productive.... who cares. I might actually go to bed at a decent time, sleep, take a really long shower..... who knows?

Out my back door...

this was out my window tonight. So beautiful..... love it.

10 Random things I am looking forward to....

1. In five sleeps I will be scrapbooking for a weekend with a couple of my bestest friends.
2. I washed seven loads of laundry today, and I am planning on folding it whilst watching my Sunday night TV. ( I know it seems like a weird thing to look forward too, but of everything that laundry entails, I like folding the best).
3. Going to the city to get a new furnace. Ours crapped out on us this weekend. Not a surprise. We have been saving to buy a new washer and dryer... and now that washer and dryer will become a furnace.
4. Subbing on Wednesday. I haven't subbed in over a week because I have been sick, and I get to go to Champion!! Whoot whoot!
5. Breakfast for supper. Grant is in charge of supper tonight, and the kids asked for breakfast, so..... bacon, hash, eggs, pancakes. I love it!
6. Blairmore... this is where I will be scrapbooking.
7. Getting to sleep in. I don't want to jinx anything, but for the last two mornings, Grant has got up with the kids, and let me sleep. Yesterday 10 am... today 9:30. Tomorrow????? Cross your fingers.
8. Sunday night TV. It is almost as good as Thursday night TV.
9. Did I mention that I am going away this weekend???
10. Getting some MNC kits done this week.

Yay!

Hot Rod..... Hot Dog

Cohen is finally starting to talk in complete sentences, and is starting to say some of the funniest things. I think he might actually give Avery a run for her money one of these days.... Anyhoo, last night, while Avery was gone with her Grandma to "neighbor night" (an Alston Wedding Shower), Grant and I had the luxury of parenting just one kid. We were sitting on the couch together watching the Barrett-Jackson classic car auction, and a hot rod car drove onto the block. Cohen was pointing at the TV and was saying "twuck, twuck", and Grant says, "No, Buddy, it is a Hot Rod." Cohen's reply was, "Oh, hot dog! Hot dog? Hot dog...." Close buddy.

Blech

I am pretty sure I have strep throat. I am just waiting for the swab to come back to confirm it, but I feel like I am swallowing staples, I can't talk (which is almost nightmarish for me), and I just feel like shit. I finally went to the doctor yesterday and got some drugs, and they seem to be helping. My throat isn't as sore as it was yesterday, and I can almost yell at the kids again... so, hopefully I will be better by the beginning of next week. I need to get better. I have to get better otherwise, rumor has it I will be sleeping in the hallway when we go scrapbooking next weekend. Yep... my friends are so kind and caring that they are willing to boot me into the hall to sleep if I am still ill..... such good friends.
Needless to say, I am going away for the weekend next weekend..... six sleeps to be exact, and I really need to get myself organized. I am usually planned so far in advance, that I can just pump out pages and go.... but I have fallen behind. I don't have nearly enough photos printed, I don't have projects put together, and I really need to decide which embellishments have to come with me, and which can stay at home..... we'll see....
Anyhoo, I should get my tushy off the computer, and turn around and deal with my scrapbook room......
