PLAYING HOOKEY

Good Morning Everyone...don't faint because I'm actually here today!! Let me tell you its been one thing after the other these past few days, power went out for awhile, cable also went out, Arthur and Bertie really acted up for a couple of days, I think its the rain and cooler days we have been having..I'm going to see if my Doctor..(I sometimes have my doubts if he really is one LOL) will refer me to a rhrumatoligist. Rheumatoid arthritis runs in both sides of my family so I've been thinking this may be something I am going to have to live with. Now don't laugh but I also have gout in my big toe...I had it before in my foot..but just my toe...but let me tell you one toe hurts as much as 5 of the buggers..I shed a few tears because of that pain...My baby Gemma just didn't understand her mommy crying..she was so sweet...and stuck to me like glue..even me hobbling around made her just walk a little slower and not dance around like she usually does..isn't it funny that pets seem to have a 6th sense when you are not yourself..OK I promise no more gripping and complaining!!!

First let me tell you I have 2 new Word Art sets coming out I hope before the week is over..they are Halloween Haunts, and Halloween Titles...I know its a bit early but Halloween will be here before we know it...I love them and I hope you will also..I well let you know when they are in the store.

For all you kitty lovers Kim B has a wonderful mini kit (FREEBIE TOO) on her Blog today...Its a birthday present for Sylvia a CT member and good friend..stop by her Blog today and wish her Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Sylvia...a true cat lover!

WOO HOO Fridays Here..Football Saturday

Hi Everyone..

Guess everyone is glad its Friday..I sure am..that means Auburn has a game on TV tomorrow..Auburn is Auburn University in Auburn Alabama, there's another university here University of Alabama..now if you live in Alabama you know that's a rivalry that has been on going since I don't even know when, longer than I have been alive..and you are for one or the other..can't be for both...some nice folk in the state are for both teams, until they place each other and then everyone has their favorite..my brother-in-law is for Bama, he graduated from there, I found out the first year he was in the family we could NEVER discuss football..he told my sister I was the most obnoxious Auburn fan he had ever met..wonder if that's because I sent him a cross stitched little saying about Auburn and Alabama which of course put Auburn in the good light..lol..

Auburn used to never win a game until Pat Dye came to town..that changed the whole football program, we started winning and we haven't stopped..I think we have a 5 or 6 year winning streak going on..but I've learned not to run my mouth and brag because its anyones guess who will win that game..Auburn football team is called the Tigers, but their team Mascot is a beautiful Eagle..so the chant is go War Eagles..whose name by the way is Tiger..LOL but thats a story for another day...we play LSU tomorrow and it could go either way..but I'm rooting for my war eagles..

My new Word Art Bundle is in the store now..Here's a page I  made using it. Remember I sell exclusively at

DSO

I made this page and its a combination of my word art and some goodies from Kims new grab bag I'm going to show you today.. Josh bought this rat whose name was Tiny, when she was a tiny little white mouse..the Lady at the pet store told him you could train them...and he did..he knew his name, would come when Josh called him, and he followed him around everywhere when he was out of his cage...we had a Cat named Floyd at the time. Josh was scared to death one day when Floyd was in the house and he couldn't find Tiny...everyone thought Floyd had made a meal out of Tiny, Josh had a flashlight and he looked under the bed and this is what he found...we all were floored but they remained friends until Tiny caught a cold and passed away...there's another story there I will tell you later.

I have a few pictures to show you from my CT

Isn't this beautiful..would love to be there now to see this..O2BNGdHope made this page and she used WA from my Fall Splendor kit..

This cutie is Jon Paul, Maggie Maes grandson..he is so funny but adorable..she used my little boys wa  set.

I still I haven't had my big inspection.  I told Chase this morn. if they didn't come today, we had to mop and wax again over the weekend..Did you know I couldn't find any Floor Wax..they have mop and glow and Pledge floor finish,and other such things, but I could not find any plain ole fashioned floor wax.  I looked at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Big Lots, Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Grocery Stores, only places I haven't looked is Lowe's .  I am going to look their tomorrow..Floors just don't hold a shine with those other floor mop and wax products.

They must have been hungry too..LOL..Chase hasn't hasn't been working this week..they have a new job starting next week.. so I imagine they ate all of their groceries.  I had some canned ravioli and beefaroni, ramen noodles, and tuna fish I got for them to eat when they pop in hungry...and man did they eat LOL..cleaned out my stash. They also brought a huge basket of clothes to wash but they got disappointed about that..I am out of washing detergent..LOL Got to get me some tomorrow..so they left them in the laundry room..guess they will come back tomorrow and wash them..

Running Around In Circles

Good Morning Gang...

Hope you are having a great day...me-well I'm running around in circles this AM..got a letter yesterday afternoon, the Inspectors are out in full force...9th-19th..I didn't have much to do just a few odd and end things, empty garbage cans in the house, sweep the floors, dust again...I just wish they would come today and get it over with. You know what happens when I have to move my poor arms to much....yep A&B were fighting last night and this morning over who was going to hurt the worst..and today of all days, Gemma got up being a little brat..she torn all the stuffing out of one of her poor animals..you can just imagine what my LR floor looked like with batting all over it and the couch!!

Gemma has some long white hair on the top of her head.. when she throws her toys up in the air, she looks like she has a mohawk..reminds me of those gremlins from the movie..HEHEHEHE I've got to make her picture like that and show you..well it was like that when I caught her ,and the expression on her face when I yelled her name, just cracked me up..I sure got a good laugh...then I couldn't get on to her too bad...

Mischievous Furbaby

Good Tuesday morning everyone..hope you slept good last night..I got a little bit more sleep last night but I knocked myself out LOL..it doesn't take much medicine to do that to me..my daddy told me one time I would be a cheap drunk..lol I had surgery on my hand and took this strong pain medicine and it made me loopy for 3 days!!! I was staying with my parents for the first few days, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, went to the closet and guess I would have used it there but the door wouldn't close and it woke me up enough to find the bathroom, my mom was sure glad hehehe...I had to call the Dr and get some different pain pills..

I received a very special award from my friend Renee yesterday...

 

She received it from Mojo visit her blog to find out what the award is for...but I would like to pay it forward to some very dear friends

These next people don't have blogs but they are very special to me and I know they are ones that Mojo would approve of  for her award...

Crops2dawn..she has been my friend for over 2 years now..she was the very 1st person who commented on one of my layouts and her words were so encouraging she made me want to keep on scrapbooking and keep trying to do better..she can say some of the funniest things and sometimes I laugh so hard my sides hurt..she makes me feel good too..and she is an awesome scrapbook artist..she gets better everyday..and she's very good at designing her own things too...

There are so many many more people who are kind and sweet who have big hearts and care so much I award you the Sweety Award also..wish I could list everyone on here...

 

Speaking of pills...I only take about 15 different ones a day, I have this set of long boxes with morn noon bedtime on them and there is one for all the days of the week..I fix them on Monday for a full week...today I had taken my morning meds and left the box on my stool that I use for a coffee table..I was in my new computer room and I noticed that Gemma wasn't in here..went to check on her and lo and behold she had gotten my long blue box, had it opened and pills all over the floor, she had been having a good time chewing on the box, It scarred me so bad, I didn't know if she had eaten any or not..I finally found them all but 1/2 of one..don't know if she ate it or what but it didn't hurt her, I think maybe it made her more hyper..I tell you she has add...I wonder if I could get her some meds for that and calm her down HEHEHHE...

When Gemma wants to go outside and potty she turns in circles in front of the door..and gets faster and faster..I was lying on the couch watching TV this afternoon, and it was raining, but she wanted to go out, I kept telling her no it was raining..so not getting the answer she wanted, she jumps up on top of me and starts going around and around..I thought she was going to push my insides out my back before I got her to stop...she's like a child, you never know what she is going to do next...

If Arthur and Bertie will let me, I'm planning on having some new sets of Word Art done later this week..I will let you know when they go in the store..but today I want to show you a few pages my CT sent me yesterday..they are all awesome..

Crops made this awesome page, she used word art from my fish tales wordart set..he is sure proud of his catch..look at that smile on his sweet face..thanks girl..
