I'm about to burst....
Tomorrow is the day the major announcement will be made at work. I am dying with anticipation!!! I cannot wait until it happens and then I won't be so jumpy!!
I also wanted to share a card I made for a fellow SBA'er who is sick. As always, the photo is blurry. Do you see why I don't participate in photo challenges very much?!!

Card to share...
I made this a while ago at a class but felt the need to add the circle clip. I just love those things!
My aunt LOVES daisies so I sent it for her bday.
Songs...
Do you ever have a great radio day? I left the house in a not so great mood. I'm worried about my son, worried about my husband finding a job, etc. So I got in the car and the BEST songs came on and just made my day.
Can't remember the order or the names but first I heard "See the World" by Gomez and love that tune!! Then I heard Sheryl Crow, Midnight Oil (Beds are Burning), Alanis M."You Live, You Learn", Vertical Horizon (another group I love). I can't remember the others but I didn't even have to change the station. I do this frequently by the way. If I don't like a song or if they talk, I switch. Are you a switcher or do you just deal with the horrible song?

Slump..
I'm in a real blog slump. Don't know why but I can't come up with something nice to blog about. I think I took some photos of recently made cards but I keep forgetting to bring them in to upload.
It seems I'm not the only one because I keep going through the SBA blog ring and there are quite a few not updated.
Ok, here's something to share: I finished "Plum Lovin". It was ok but not very deep. This was my first Evanovich book. I think for now I'll stick with my normal type books.
I just started Therapy by Jonathan Kellerman. I've read several of his Alex Delaware series books and liked them. This one is pretty good so far. What are you currently reading?

Friday's Feast One Hundred Forty Four
Appetizer
List 3 emotions you experienced this week. Fear (I thought there was going to be a war at home after my dh cleaned my ds' room), depression (no spending), happiness (opened a great big box of jewelry).
Soup
Name a car you’d love to have. A cute little convertible something would be nice. I saw an adorable Porsche yesterday.
Salad
Describe your typical morning routine. Wake up at 6, make the coffee & take vitamins, go back upstairs and shower. Wake ds up first time. Get a cup of coffee. Put makeup on and wake ds up second time. Blow dry hair, get dressed, see if ds is up. Make salad & grab food items for work. Leave between 7:30 and 8 a.m. & drive to work.
Main Course
Have you ever emailed someone famous? If so, who, and what did you say to them? Did they reply? No, I don't think so?
Dessert
Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones? Nope. Wouldn't have a clue. They do this in work all the time, I know I should know!!

Ah...the weekend is finally here.
It's been a long week. I'm so happy the weekend is here. Tonight I have a Lia S. party at my friend's house. It'll be fun even though I can't spend much. Love my "girl" time.
I got home last night to a big box full of jewelry. I had so much fun sorting it while I was watching Grey's. I had to peek at what everyone bought! I got a lot of really nice jewelry for free. Gotta love it. I realized I have to buy some green tops. Every necklace I picked has some shade of green (on the lighter side - celadon-ish).
Question for the day: What color do you look best in? Do you constantly buy the same color?
My best color is in the green family. I love celery, lime, celadon, teal (is this a green?) I also look best in light blue.
My closet is full of gray and black with a few hints of lime, plum, lavender,light blue, light green. I tend to wear the dark colors to cover up the weight. Every time I wear a green or blue, people compliment me. That's because I look pale in black/gray.
As I'm typing along here, I'm wondering...did I already ask this question in a previous post?!! Ah, to have a memory again.

couple of cards...
Here are my dh's 50th cards. The guitar one is from my son and the photo is very blurry!
Monday, May 14, 2007
If you don't have anything nice to say....
Don't say anything at all. This is what my mom used to tell me when I was younger but I just can't resist.
Do people actually THINK when they buy Mother's Day gifts? My stepsister bought my mom a hanging plant (outdoor). My brother bought my mom a mum plant. What irritates the crap out of me is that she lives with ME. They both know this. So now is it MY responsibility to plant the mums and hang the plant on the porch I don't have? What were they thinking (if they were in fact thinking)?! I hate gardening and do not want to deal with it.
She said she could just dig a hole and put the mums around the rocks where we already have some. I told her not to. There was a pattern to how my dh planted the ones we wanted and bought. So they're in her room for now. She left the hanging plant on the bricks we have out front!!!
Am I being ridiculous here? I'm sure I am but I just can't help myself.
I have to end on a positive note here! I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day.

update
I had a successful Lia party. Got lots of free stuff but I also had to spend a little.
DH is still feeling lousy. I seriously think he has pneumonia. He was told brochitis and was given 3 prescrips. If it's not gone by MOn. he has to have an xray for pneumonia. What a rotten birthday weekend.
My oldest is coming over tomorrow night for dinner so we can all cookout & have ice cream cake. Unfortunately he has to work until 6-ish so it'll be late.
Happy Mother's Day everyone!!

update!
I totally forgot something positive to add....
My mom is going to my younger brother's for mother's day!!! Still not sure what we're doing but I know I won't have to cook and wait on someone else! YEAH!!
Now if I could figure out what to do for my dh's 50th...

Much ado about nothing...
I'm sitting waiting for my huge crowd to come upstairs to our offices. We are having an awards ceremony and the presentation is downstairs and then they come up for dinner. We have tables scattered throughout the floor. This is one of our major functions for the year. Next I work on the rest of Commencement.
Anyway, I already went out to steal a cookie to tide me over. It was so busy today, I couldn't get online much so I thought I'd update now. I have to work til around 8 tonight and I was here at 8 this morning!!
Tomorrow I have the day off so that I can clean and bake to get ready for the lia sophia party (I think I already said that but can't remember). I'm exhausted. DH has had an awful flu and up coughing all night, shivers, fever, etc. I got part of it. My eyes sting, I feel like I have a major hangover and my mouth is metallic tasting. NO energy here so a long day is killing me.
I wish I had known my husband was being laid off before I scheduled this party!!
Well, I guess I'll catch up tomorrow or Fri. when I'm back at work!

A couple of cards.....
Most images are Stampin' Up Decorative Daisy. Not sure what the teal one is called but it was a cute set.
Monday, May 07, 2007
Love these things when I don't feel like blogging.
| You Are a Daisy |
 You see the world with an artist's eye. Finding beauty is easy for you - even in the dullest of moments. You notice all of the colors of the world, from fresh grass to sunsets. You are a total optimist and hedonist. You love to drink life in. |

I'm in no mood to blog...
So I'm just going to say a quick Happy Cinco de Mayo and NSD for you scrappers out there. I'm seriously hoping to participate for a little bit in the cybercrop at www.scrapbookaddict.com (a place I cannot skip going to even for a day).

Update
Ok, got another Mom's Day card finished last night and one of my dh's bday. I still have to make a few Mom's day and one bday card from me.
I feel like a taxi lately! Got home from work, ds asked me to take him to Dunks for an iced coffee, got home, his friend arrived and he asked me to take them to a friend's house. Got home @ 7, ate a quick dinner, made my cards and ran back out at 9 to get him. It's every day.
So that brings me to my question of the day. Do you drive the speed limit or are you a lead foot like me? I zoom around, especially if I'm by myself. I'm a very impatient person when it comes to getting there. I get very frustrated when my ds drives. He has to go the speed limit. He just has his permit.
I feel like a taxi lately! Got home from work, ds asked me to take him to Dunks for an iced coffee, got home, his friend arrived and he asked me to take them to a friend's house. Got home @ 7, ate a quick dinner, made my cards and ran back out at 9 to get him. It's every day.

Mom's Day
Yay! Got a couple of mom's day cards done last night. I need to make about six of them between Godmom's & a Nana one for my mom so I'm happy a few are completed. I also have to make my hubby's 50th, yes, 50th! That seems so old to me! I'm only two and a half years away!
What do you do for Mom's day if you are a mom? If you are not a mom, do you see your mom?
Here's my dilemma...I always end up cooking!! My mom has always come to my house for dinner on Mother's Day. Now that she lives with me, I still have her for Mother's day. I guess I feel a little put out since I hate to cook and I don't feel I should be waiting on anyone on Mother's Day. The other issue is my hubby's bday is always Mother's Day weekend. So we combine the celebrations and I still get to cook!! Am I being selfish here? If we go out, we'll end up spending a fortune because we'll end up paying for my mom, my two sons & one gf and ourselves.
I know I'm sounding a little selfish here. I just wish my brother would step up to the plate. I think my younger one had her up last year for lunch. I'm the one providing the home for her, shouldn't they give ME a break on Mom's Day?! Ok, I've complained enough for one day. And maybe I spoke too soon (fingers crossed).
