I know I have been MIA lately blog people but sometimes you need a break away. We were away for a few days last week and it’s been hard settling back into things. Plus it’s gotten very cold on the East Coast that makes me dread the idea of winter and just want to hibernate and do nothing. Haven’t really been scrappin much lately, not sure why. Just not feeling it. Trying to relax more and enjoy whatever time I have away from work. Been catching up on some tv shows lately and half are pretty awful and the other half are genius. Always seems like the awful ones linger and the good ones go away.
And for anyone who watches Ghost Whisperer I think it’s becoming completely dumb. Spoiler alert - how could they kill off Jim? Come on. I know I get so worked up over fake people and characters. I always have and when they do silly things to upset my shows well it makes me mad. I just want some enjoyable tv after working in the tv biz all day. LOL!!
I’ve been away a few days visiting family and I’m trying to catch up on things. To say I’m overwhelmed would be an understatement since I could have a breakdown any minute. One day back to work and I think I’m going to kill someone already.
Anyways, I’ll be back over the weekend with some odds and ends, some photos and maybe a goodie. We’ll see how the next 2 days go!
I will leave you with a photo of the best grocery store in the world though. We went shopping the other night and I miss it already!!! =)
Been enjoying all the sales, freebies and excitment of Digital Scrapbooking Day. Got a bunch of cool freebies and only a few purchases. Trying to be good.
Started a new photo challenge that Holly put together called a 100 Days of Moo You. Basically you take a photo of yourself for 100 days. Not sure I’m going to like the photos of me but that’s the creative thing about it..I’ll try to not really show myself. Anyways, here is my first photo of the challenge. Love that owl and I have tomorrow’s photo already done! He he he.
So the dieting is going well. I lost about 4 pounds since starting 2 weeks ago so I hope to keep it up or well down. Although we are waiting for pizza now…2 slices only.
Until tomorrow…
I think I found the coolest sneakers ever and I found my size. How could I resist Kermit and green shoes?!! Can’t wait till they come in. Now do I wear them or just display them? LOL!
Time is escaping me lately and I’m not sure how it’s the end of October already!!
Anyways, nothing all that exciting here to report. I did have to take out my belly ring for a MRI I am having. Haven’t taken it out in 11 years, so it’s weird. Plus it’s making me feel old…just another example of how things are different from my wild younger days. LOL!
Week 2 of dieting went well. Lost 2 pounds. WOO HOO! Only 48 to go. =P
Looking forward to 30Rock coming back this week although I did see the premiere episode already but I’ll watch it again. Speaking of 30Rock we saw Judah Friedlander who plays Frank on our walk today. He looks exactly the same in person - WEIRD!
Last but not least, this is the last week to get Save the Tatas Breast Cancer Charity Kit. All proceeds are going to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, so make sure to get it while you can!!
We recently have been obsessed with 30Rock and watched all 2 seasons of the DVDs. We didn’t really give into watching it before since it touches too close to home. But alas we finally started watching it and it’s pure GENIUS! Tina Fey aka Liz Lemon is my hero! I can’t wait for season 3 to come back in a few weeks. Blërg!
Haven’t blogged in awhile I know. Besides splitting headaches and not feeling well, working late and watching 30Rock everyday not much is new. I had been scrapping often but not in the past few days. Hopefully this week I can get some motivation cause I picked up some new scrappin goodies. =P
Going to the neurologist on Thursday and hope to have some answers about my health issues. So if I don’t blog much this week that’s why.
Before I go here’s some layouts I recently did for Halloween/Fall.
Who likes M&M stuff? I do but trying to minimize my crap in my apartment still. So anyone interested in 2 M&M notebooks, oven mitt and trivet? Let me know =)
I was thinking to myself today that I hadn’t seen any celebrities lately. I decided to go for a quick walk around the block of work and as I got around the corner I noticed papporazi type photogs running around. People were stopping and I was wondering who I would see. As I rounded the corner I could see it was Jude Law and some other guy standing on the corner trying to figure out where to go. They walked in front of me and couldn’t figure out what the building was and just stood there. At this point I saw my celebrity sighting for the week and decided to head back to work feeling satisfied with an “A” lister sighting. Besides that I survived my first day back to work after vacation =)
I’ve been off the past few days and we have been super busy! I’m so tired and sore today from the past few days. I’ll try to catch you up though. =)
Wednesday was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We took the Staten Island Ferry over to Staten Island for a walk around. We saw the 9/11 memorial that is over there. Wonderful views and so nice and quiet! Took a water taxi over to the Brooklyn Bridge/Fulton Ferry Landing. We finally got to get some awesome ice cream from the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory! After that we had some Gramboli’s pizza. I know ice cream before pizza? crazy! We topped off the end of the day with a brisk walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. A lot for one day I know!?
Thursday we both took care of same business things and decided to tackle Governors Island on Friday. Governors Island is pretty big and amazing to see. We rented bikes for free and took a ride around the island. I haven’t been on a bike in years and it was a lot of fun to put the peddle to the metal again. Maybe a bike is in my future? Not sure in this city but it sure is fun to be a tourist in my own town sometimes.
Saturday we spent the day in NJ seeing the family. The kids are a blast and after walking over a bridge and biking riding it’s VERY hard to keep up with them!! LOL! I need to get in shape to do that on a regular basis. =P
Today, I’m trying to catch up on things. Been scrapping and designing. Had to archive tons of files to make room. Also I spent way too much money on an online auction for Dani Mogstad’s whole digi collection. I think of it as an investment though not a big purchase!
Just watched the Primetime Emmy’s before and they made me laugh. Have another busy day tomorrow as we are heading to Shea for our last Met’s game. We have really good seats and will be going early to see batting practice. Hoping to meet or see Davey Wright up close. Yum!!
Anyways, that’s a lot of stuff I just threw at ya. Be back in a few days when things return to normal.
Feeling under the weather today and we even had to cancel plans to see family. Bummed I didn’t get to see the kids but there is next weekend.
I tried to get some stuff done on the computer and was “busy” for a few hours. But after awhile I realized I had accomplished nothing and was basically staring at the screen! I’m trying to take advantage of the second wind I have but not sure how long it will last for.
Only have 2 days of work this week since I’m taking off a few days since it’s our anniversary. I think we decided to take a trip to Governor’s Island. We try to do NYC stuff on our anniversary so hopefully will get to enjoy that.
Got some more GREEN paint in the mail the other day. Hopefully I can do some more canvases while I’m off so I can hang some stuff up in my office.
Watch some of the Mets game today. Davey hit 2 homeruns which was such a waste since they ended up LOSING! They better win when we see them on the 22nd for Towel Night =P
Not much else new here. Hoping to feel better soon and I’ll share some layouts soon =)
Ta ta,
