2009 had lots of low points but it also had some very high points. This collage captures some of them (in no particular order).
- My dear friend, Mary visited us from Florida. It was 4 years since we last
saw her, so it was a great treat to spend time with her.
- Meeting my cousin, Kate who was visiting from Australia.
- Seeing the movie, That Evening Sun and meeting the legendary actor,
Hal Holbrook. Very nice and sweet gentleman!
- Celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary on Roosevelt Island

Looking forward to see what 2010 captures for me. Goals and new year’s resolution to come =)
I’m not going to lie, this year was a challenge for me. I have learned a lot about myself and life during the past few months. Hardship and adversity has given me a new found perspective on life and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t do it any different. Here’s to new beginnings, new friendships, deeper friendships, newfound passion and adventure in 2010!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I know I have neglected my poor little blog and my readers but I’ve not been that chatty lately. Been trying to figure some things in life but I haven’t found any answers besides more work thrown at me. Alas, I’m hoping the future is brighter as the state of the world we are in these days is very depressing to me.
Alas, it’s Valentine’s Day so let’s move onto something sweeter. We enjoyed a nice lunch today at a local thin crust pizza place that we adore. Since it’s a Saturday we figured lunch might be more manageable them going out to dinner.
And to celebrate lovely dovey day, here’s a freebie frame from my Love Story kit. Enjoy!
More soon, I swear! I’m working on some new designs, a cool collaboration project and a site redesign. Soon I hope. Until next time, be well =)
I know I’ve been on vacation and I haven’t blogged much?! I’ve been catching up on my R & R time which I really think I desperately needed since 2008 kicked my ass! Anyways to recap my time off thus far: I’ve been sleeping late a lot, doing a bunch of nothing, stalked the UPS man one day for packages to make sure they weren’t stolen, did 7 loads of laundry, spent time with Johnny, lots of Facebook time, saw some friends as well as time with some family, cleaned some, organized and scrapped/created some (new Valentine’s Day kit coming soon). Exciting huh? LOL!
Here is a picture of our nephew, Jackson from our trip to the Museum of Natural History. We probably went on the busiest weeks ever being that kids were out of school and they ALL wanted to see dinosaurs. OMG it was INSANE but it was fun. And Jackson got to have a pretzel “the size of his head!” so it was all worth it. Cute kid!
So that’s been my winter vacation and I dread it ending, so I hope someone I know will win the lotto soon so I don’t have to go bak to work on Thursday. =)
Happy belated holidays to everyone! I feel like it’s been awhile since I have blogged. I kinda feel like I don’t know how to blog anymore plus I’m not feeling very chatty these days. Anyways, since being away from the blog I celebrated my 31st birthday. There really isn’t anything that special about turning 31 although it was a nice mellow birthday. My actual birthday is Christmas Eve so I had the day off from work so I got to sleep in and lounged around which was nice. Checked emails, got many Facebook posts, tinkered around, then we went out to dinner and watched a movie. Honestly the day went fast and then before we knew it Christmas was here and over. We had a nice Christmas with family. The kids (my cousins) had fun with the toys and running around which is cute to see. Now that it’s all over I’m just relaxing since I took some well deserved time off from work. Although I’m off from work and have projects I want to get done I’m not feeling like being productive. I really just want to be a lazy lump. Plus my creativity lately has gone out the window!
I did however try to throw a scrap page together for memory sake of my birthday so I can remember what I did and the highlights…since I can’t remember from year to year anymore. LOL! I’ll be back sooner rather than later since I have some time on my hands =)
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!!
