Chicago is Great!

How Great is that!!! At 10pm last night it was official, we won and Milwaukee lost!! Woo Hoo.

As for everything else, I am just having a great Saturday! Went to breakfast with my sister and Renee, washed some dishes, scrapped some, and now I am going to watch some TV and then maybe even scrap some...again!! Have a great Saturday everyone!

In the spirit of Halloween Coming!!

So, in the spirit of one of my favorite months of the year, I have changed my blog around a little bit!! Oh, and I have officially started digi scrapping. While it is hard enough to get my cats to sit still, it is even harder to get them to sit still together, so Here is a page of my little girl Hemlock.

I am going to do more of these pages because it is fun and quick, but I still have a ton of other projects so, for now, this is it!

An eventful night!

Tonight was a busy one! Watched Beauty and the Geek, and Biggest Loser, and while doing so, I worked on a Round Robin Board Book for a friend. The theme is "Book of Colors" and I chose Pink. I had to wait for the paint to dry, so I finally finished the darn thing tonight to go postal tomorrow. Here it is....

My style has been changing more and more every day which is a good thing, otherwise my pages would look like a piece of paper with a picture slapped on the middle of it!!!

Oh, and by the way, I LOVE having my laptop!! I am sitting on my couch watching the news (the cubbies lost today!!) and really need to go to bed. This could be bad for my lack of sleep!!

A good Mail Monday...

I got my laptop finally!!! I am so excited to be sitting at home and checking e-mails and updating stuff. Not only that, but I got a package from one of my favorite SISters which is great (now if only my post office could step on it!!! I also got my IPASS in the mail so I don't have to spend as much money on the stupid tolls anymore!! Woo Hoo...I got home, opened my mailbox, and the thing literally overflowed out. I got 3 different magazines, 4 packages, and several envelopes! Quite a mail Monday...now if only I would get my new checks in!! (Cause I need to spend more money??!!)

I am going to scrap, clean, watch Heroes and maybe even some football tonight, they I am hoping to upload some of the LO's and projects that I am working on. At least the ones that aren't for SSReflections....If you haven't checked it out, do so now..www.ssreflections.com It is a great zine and I LOVE it....okay...the sales person in me got out...whoops. :)

BTW, did I mention that I ramble...

Apparently, Thursdays are my days!!

I have officially become a fan of Thursdays! It seems that I am my happiest on Thursdays and I look forward to them. Hmm...weird!

So, the exciting news for the week....I ordered my laptop yesterday!!! I should have it in the next two weeks and can't wait to have access at home. I am going to help Paschen learn the ins and outs of computers and this way she will have better chances with her knowledge and getting into a new job!

I have scrapped quite a few things and I love them, and I am really happy with the time I have to scrap!! I guess the little things make me happy!! Anywho, gotta get back to work, just wanted to share right quick!

Much love..xoxo

Happy Thursday!!!

I am so glad that this week is almost over!! This whole getting to work by 5am thing is killing me! I have been getting a lot done though at night because I drink so much coffee during the day that I am on a major caffine High before the major crash at night!! I am working on 7 different projects at once, and I love it!! I haven't been in my craft room so much since we moved into this apartment last year!!! :) I am actually looking forward to getting home tonight and working on more projects!! Woo Hoo....so, Happy Thursday everyone!! :)

and worse still....

Okay, the amazing thing is that I am generally still in a good mood right now with all of the craziness that is still happening!!

So, Friday driving home, my breaks start acting funny, the car is not shifting, and guess what...MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT!!!!

Okay, No joke, but does someone out there have a voodoo doll of me (or my car?)!! This is absolutely nuts!!

So, I am now getting to work every morning at 5am since Paschen needs to be to work by 5:30 (oh, yeah, she still has her job!!), and I am working till at least 4pm every day....I need a nap..

well...back to work, just wanted to give you a quick update!!

xoxo :)

And it only gets worse...

geez I don't even know how this happens, but even though mercury isn't in retrograde, something must be.

Paschen hit a parked car in her semi yesterday, and thus, may very well lose her job any day now.

Then, I get home to find a boot notice for my car (in other words, I have 21 days to pay for past parking tickets or my car gets the boot!). Yes, I realize that is my fault, but I honestly forgot about the tickets because they were from our previous apartment!!

So, the good things.....um....lets see....I love my job, I love my girlfriend, and I am alive...

Yeah, generic I know, but they are the good things!!!

So, heres to the good things to come!! Much Love!!

OH MY GOD!

You ever feel like every time you try to step ahead you get knocked back???

Well I have been trying to work on getting my credit report cleaned up, and in the process found a $1200 collection for a credit card. So two weeks ago I call the company (Portfolio Recovery) and speak to someone names Sylvester to find out what I can do. He wanted to set up payment right away, but I asked him to send me information (contract, bill, etc.) on the account as I do not know what it is. Anywho, he took my address and said he would mail something out.

Okay, so that was the "me taking a step ahead part" now here goes for getting knocked back...

I am at work today, and some lady calls up asking me about my payment to this account. UM...no one sent anything, I am still waiting for paperwork. she says, nope you told us you would call back when you were ready to pay. I repeated that no, I am not paying for something if I do not know what it is. then she repeats my address. Now, considering that when I talked to Sylvester prior, he had my address in Minnesota, and she rattled off my address in Chicago, don't you think they would have sent something. So I proceed to say "You guys are a bunch of Morons". she gets defensive and says "did you call me a moron" Absolutely! Then...heres the kicker...she says "Well, why don't you just go try to buy whatever it is you are trying to buy, and good luck with this on your credit!" "Now don't call back" And she hangs up on me! Are you freakin' for real!! No way sweetheart, you do not threaten someones credit because you don't pay attention to them trying to pay you!!! So that the interest accrues!! Um no!!

So, I am going to go call the BBB now and see what I can do if anything, and then I am going to call back Sylvester and find out what he didn't understand!!!

URGH...okay...thanks for listening to me vent!!
