Thoughts for Thursday

So this is my first thoughts for thursday but since i have had some going on in my head and no time to write about them i figured I would now.

So lately I have been walking around feeling like i am in a bubble and I can't get out. This is not the norm for me. I am a fly by night, fly by the seat of my pants, spontaneous kinda girl. i don't give much thought or even a second thought to much of anything not even what i am saying...i think it, it comes out and 1/2 the time i want to shove it back in my mouth. You want to jump out of a plane...okay let's do it...yeah that's me. BUT lately I have been giving things a second thought. I have been thinking about how i really can't name 10 good things or habits about me which is sad. it is sad to me because again i don't pay attention to the small stuff. I never have. I can name 100 things about O'neil or "Elizabeth but not me. That really is a eye opener. Is it that I pay attention to everybody else and not myself? is it that I am scared if I pay attention to myself i might want to change things. Although there is things i do want to change, nothing major just minor changes.
but speaking to my best friend yesterday really makes me realize I have a great life with great friends and i need to accept me for me and not change anything about me. that is what makes us who we are as individuals. And i also need to realize i cannot change oneil as much as i would like to change 2536595 things about him that annoy the shit out of me. With that said i go back 10 years ago when there was nothing i would have wanted to change about him. i think as time goes on we all change in one way or the other sometimes for the good sometimes to annoy the spouse...whatever the case maybe we need to accept it and move on. And from this day forward I am going to just accept that O'neil is anal in everything and that no matter how many times i flip my wig, lose my marbles scream and cuss, raise hell and get my blood pressure up...he is still NOT going to rinse the damn dishes after he eats like i ask. This has been a 10 year battle so I am just letting it go and moving on. I have very few quirks and i mean very few (compared to some people, love ya girl) but the freaking dishes is one of them. That will send me into more of a fit than anything i can think of right now.

I am breaking out my journal and i am going to start journaling my thoughts. i have never done this before so i am starting now. i think sometimes we all need to get in touch with the serious side but for me it is hard. I am a cut up, i am a jokester, pretty laid back until i really get fired up then i am like a cyclone. i think that is the gemini in me....i have split personalities...which is why i made this layout to begin with...lol



Okay enough nonsense...I'll be back finally later with some turkey day pics...I didn't take as many as I wante dtoo and damn it...didn't get one of the whole family either like i wanted.... ;(

7 Course Crop

Yep this weekend was the 7 course crop over at Scrap Diner. I had a ton of fun and got alot done. i even won a prize....woo hooo....

There were 12 challenges in all and I have done 6 of them so far. i am determined I am going to finish the rest of them. My bootay was going to town. Jonnine came over on Saturday and she scrapped with me for the most part...well actually she scrapped a little and watched me the rest of the time...i told her she can't get anything done watching me. We had fun. Not much going on to speak of really...been kinda quiet on the homefront, which is scary!

OH YEAH ...also on saturday i received my box from Noel with all my kit goodies in it...OH MY LORD PEOPLE...THAT THING WEIGHED A TON...not to mention i shopped a bit in her store too... i wish you could have seen me..i saw the mailman drive up and put mail in my mailbox...now keep in mind my saturday mailan isn't the normal bitch of a mail lady i have to cuss out on a regular basis. So i see him out my scrap room window and i am just gleaming cause i knew my box should have been here...so at first it looks as if he is going to drive off and i get up i am like nooooooooo come back...well he parks , gets out and he sees me running to him...so he knows it is something i want really really bad...well he decides he is going to have some fun with me...yes i am literally chasing him around my yeard for my box...it was so funny...my grandmother (she's 80) was looking at us...like what the hell is going on out there....it was funny...but anyway...

here are my goodies i made this weekend






this last layout was inspired from a layout i saw but i can't remember who or where....grrrr!!! if anyone knows please let me know.

EDITED TO ADD: Chriselda came through for me. The layout is by Justem and you can see her layout here.
Thanks again chriselda

Continued...

So where was I...oh yeah...my stash...

why? why can't I help my love for it? It's a sickness...it has to be..i am convinced...but i don't want help!

I was a busy woman this weekend...I scrapped as much as possible because with the holidays coming up I am not sure how much I will get done.










and this one i did for Unpubbed challenge

**Sorry for such shitty pics but when you are in a hurry a girl has to do what a girl has to do**

I have lots of random thoughts floating around in my head but i'll save that for another post!

Later gators!

We have a winner....

Jocelynne you were the first to guess correctly. I have your address already so i will send out your goodies on Monday...errr...Tuesday...monday is a holiday!

So you want the correct answer huh? Well first before i tell...hehehehe let me say that for everyone who was guessing the mac computer that was cracking me up...now i see you did pick up on the Hint i gave but it was the incorrect MAC....the MAC i am so freaking happy about is the Holiday collection from MAC make-up...yes just make-up but that makes me *so* happy... I am a huge MAC fan...I love it...I swoon over it...i promised my hubby I wouldn't buy another piece of MAC for a while and I kept that promise...ever since the Barbie collection.. {gasp} that was like month ans months ago...so i broke down...i did it...iwent to the counter and my usual peeps wanted to know where in the hell have i been and did i not love them anymore...yeah...that's the relationship we have...sad but true...anyhow...so i got the Metallics holiday collection and i am in love...i came straight home...put them on and have been in love since...and i also bought another shadow...wanna see?


that is the collection i got...introducing the metallics...lol


and for good safe measure i had to get another one..this is 2 in one...eeekkkk!!!!
the name of it is Mi'Lady


this is 7 colors on the lids...i was just playing around with different colors...


and the color combo in the red and purple you just saw is what is under my eyes so technically i guess you can say i have on 9 colors...lol....

I told you I have a crazy obsession...i definitly missed my calling...{deep sigh}
i HAVE BEEN A MAC LOVER FOR YEARS AND YEARS ....i took pictures of my stash so if ya'll wanna see just leave me a comment and i will post...i can't do it right now because the hubs i gaming on the other computer and i am working off the laptop.

anyway so your rak will be in the mail on tuesday..

now...i am floored at how many of you thought it was an imac...when i did the hint i didn't even think of that....but i can see where you would now looking back...and i am glad it wasn't an imac...chriselda called me and was damn near cussing me out if that is what i would have bought that...pipe down woman!! LMAO!!

anyway those of you who are lurkers and now have come out....you know who you are ...Bobbie...not that i would call you out like that....lmao....start commenting...i love finding new blog buddies...anyway have a great monday...i plan on either shopping or scrapping tomorrow.

RAK time!!!

The first person who can guess correctly what i bought will get a little RAK from me.

*got this from Regina's blog* bwhahahaha thanks for letting me steal it

Weekend of Bliss and Quiet

My mother called me on thursday and wanted to know if she could come and get the kids this weekend...ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Hell YEAH YA CAN!!

Can i just say the peace and quiet was sooooo nice. i did miss them but boy did i get to do what i wanted to do and no one to bother me. It was nice.

Friday night i cleaned my house from 5:30 to midnight...it's all sparkly and clean
Saturday I went and got my hair re colored and trimmed and then I scrapped until about midnight. I did have one little mishap that sure made me cuss words i didn't even know existed. I had this genius idea that I wanted to ipen my blinds in my scrap room so i walked around the tables very carefully and i knew i had my light burning (ya know the ones that you put the candle wax wafer ont he top and when you turn the light on it melts it.) yeah so anyway i knew it was there and i be damn if i didn't trip ove rthe cord and wax flew everywhere...lucky it stayed on my table. I pulled that cord so hard that the base flew to the ground but the top stayed put right over the table....ruined some good paper but what ya going to do? I was pissed off to say the least. I cussed and cussed and cussed..my poor 80 year old grandmother...she didn't know what the hell was going on. So anyway...my scrapping started off slow cause i couldn't get the mojo going but it picked up throughout the night. i ened up accomplishing 5 layouts and a mini book made out of the cosmo cricket wanted paper line.
Sunday we went shopping for oneil some new threads for work. he got promoted to investigator so now he has to wear regualr clothes. I love to shop...especially with someone else's money...that makes it better.


yep that was the first layout...can you tell the mojo wasn't flowing?




this layout was for the Viva la Friday challenges at Scrap Diner. The topic is what is your life "stuffed" with?


this one is the hubs back in dec 2005 when he was in a wedding for a friend of his


and this is one i did for a challenge at SIS to scraplift your favorite sisters..
I chose the fabulous Anilu. i have been telling her I was going to lift her but i just never did so what perfect opportunity to do it. it was so much fun. i lifted her "the reason" layout from her August uploads. This girl rocks...she makes fabulous jewlery as well as kick it with the scrappies. her jewlery is even more gorgeous in person than online..just ask me and i will tell you ;). I bought this one. i made my christmas list out for the hubs and her shop is on it. He said well pick some pieces so i will have a clue i said no you can pick because I love all of it. he just rolled his eyes and gave me a deep sigh!
Why are men so difficult...i mean seriously...it's exhausting!

That was my weekend..in a nutshell....oh and throw in a few crown and cokes too!

Check Noel's Challenge for the next 2 weeks...it's adverbs and she is putting up a Photoshop Elements for the prize... woo hooo!!!

WOW i am so behind

I am behind on everything..posting, my scrapbooks, my reading book i started a year ago and still haven't finished and E is cussing me, umm my pictures.

I feel like these days I am always a day late and definitly a dollar short!

So this is going to be somewhat a random cath up post so I can start fresh for the next one. Minus Halloween pics of the kids. I don't have then moaded yet {deep sigh} another example of behind!

My funny ass crazy friend Nancy turned me on to a new site Scrap Diner that is less than a month old..well maybe a month now. They have awesome girls there and the gallery is so inspiring. So I have added it to the many MB i check and frequent. I like it there. It has that cozy quaint feel to it without being over run by 45236528965 girls. The owner Sher is the nicest person too. I just love her to pieces. So anyway. I have been doing the challenges there and just a working my tail off to get caught up (or trying to) with everybody else. Well guess what? I won 2 things so far...woo hooo....myself and Julie won the Viva La Friday contest and I had the honor of being the "atta girl" for the month of October. Now while I am talking about this place let me say that I highly respect Sher for the way she does her DT. There is really no call per se. She picks them and that is that. I think that is awesome because it is based on your eagerness and participation more than a popularity contest. You design for 3 months (i think) and then it gives another person a chance. I just have to say I think that is awesome and refreshing. Kuddos to you Sher {raising my beer}!

Okay so next up on the ole agenda is...hmmmmm i did have another thought...i swear i did. DANG IT... i need to write this stuff down....oh yeah i remember now
Lesle tagged me to blog hop which is something i don't do enough of. So I was up for the tag and I started with Jude who is the funniest chick and I love reading her stories and blog hopped to Chanel. Now the reason I chose Chanel is because I love her name. Yeah i am silly like that. From Chanel i went to Jenny because her profile pic was cool. Read her blog left a few comments and from there i think i went to Heather. She does awesome work and her profile pic was cool too. So sometime this weekend I will do more blog hopping.

My mom called last night and wante dto know if she could come and get the kids for the weekend...umm hell yeah ya can. I have nothing planned so i will get some much needed R&R time without having to hear...mama...mama....he hit me...mama....mama....she push me.....ect...yeah you know how it goes...I plan on getting my hair done, my scrappy on, my napping on...and whatever the hell i fell like doing ....aghhhhhhh it's gonna be nice i tell ya....

Well enough of the ramblings and i hope this post made sense...LOL!!

Peace out..word to ya mutha...HOLLA!!
