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,
Here’s a cool poster I saw when I was at CHA from the Kaiser Crafts company. Thought it was a perfect sentiment, it’s elegantly grungy and it’s in green! What’s not to love?
On the scrappin’ front, I’ve wrangled a great bunch of gals to help work with me on creating another Think Pink Charity Kit for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Not sure of all the details but contact me if you want to know more about the kit and stuff like that. More news on that soon =)
One final thought - enjoy every moment in this life and love everyone that is near and dear to your heart. You never know when that final day will come. Let us never forget on this special day.
Found this recently when going through old pictures and since schools back this week I thought it was fitting. HA HA. Funny enough I look pretty much exactly the same minus the stylish uniform. Although I would love to have a uniform now everyday!!
Like the new blog header?? Maybe I’ll have a poll tomorrow. LOL!!!
Feeling super lazy today since I have some time off this holiday weekend. Have tons of stuff to do but don’t want to do anything…so here I am blogging. I’m excited about joining Mikkel Paige’s Fall CT. Love her designs and scrapbooking goodies. I hope to get some layouts tomorrow. I also need to test drive my new Bamboo Fun Wacom Tablet Pen. The new mouse with it is different too and taking some time to master it.
Work, stress and life are kicking my ass this week! I’ll be back this weekend to blog and share. Hope your week is better then mine! =)
How do people keep a house so clutter free? In this case an apartment? Every weekend I try to weed through piles of crap and declutter but I feel like I’m getting no where! This weekend I tackled my book shelves and came across so many books I haven’t even read. Since I’m trying to read more I have a bunch to get to which is good. I finish my first book in ages the other day and it felt to good to have it read within a week. I was reading The Wonder Spot which was good more or less but didn’t really end. I hate things that don’t end with a more wrapped up ending but such is life I guess.
Got the new bookcases up this weekend and put some stuff in them as well as reorganized some knick knacks. This is a work in progress as you can see all the stuff still on the floor but the work nook is looking good. Hopefully it will create some creative vibes soon and I can get back into things.
Anyways, we watch Office Space tonight and that movie is BRILLIANT and so on point with everything! That’s all I’m going to say about that =P
Heading to bed for an early day and I’m sure to have a case of “The Mondays”…have a good one!
Finished up Jury Duty today and I’m good for 6 years. Waiting around all day at the courthouse and was never called which was good. Back to work tomorrow I go..which I can’t say I’m looking forward to. Where exactly did the summer go?
Layout of Jackson from a few weeks ago when we visited last. This layout was quick and simple which is my new style. Well at least what I’m trying to do.
Got some new book shelves this week and John’s so graciously putting them together for me. I hope to fill them up soon and organize some of my mess. =)
Yesterday was the 6th anniversary that John and I met. I wanted to post yesterday but the day got away from me with doing things. Thought it would be fun to calculate what 6 years is. LOL!

Had Jury Duty today which wasn’t that bad since we sat around all day, which was nice in a way. I got to read a book which I haven’t done in awhile. I’m trying to get back into reading since I used to read some many books. I have to go back tomorrow so hopefully I will just enjoy the day again waiting. We’ll see…=)

I wasn’t really into Facebook before but now I’m oddly obsessed with it. I never really went on there and now I’m consistently checking it. Maybe it’s cause I hate work and want to prolong doing it or is it really fun to hear from people? I think both plus they have some cool flair you can add to your profile. LOL!
