Picks

My favorites this week, however... they were all good.




The emailed reply made this one even better:

I was having a bad day at work last week. I hoped my husband might send me some flowers to cheer me up but I know he’s busy right now. So I called the florist, ordered a bunch of flowers and had them delivered to his office. The card read “give these to your wife, she’s having a bad day.” The florist laughed, and so did my husband.



I couldn't find the email address to reply to this one. I'll be making a postcard to send in. This was my favorite song "growning up". If I'm pushed for an absolute favorite this would be up there.

For those that do not know the bee girl...

Last one!

For tonight anyway... I found this fun video on YouTube. It's the best.



SHOES!

Girls night out!

Here we are on Space Mountain. Right now it's playing an introduction to the Red Hot Chili Peppers by Uncle Joe and then they play RHCP's Higher Ground. Too much fun!! I totally enjoy it... as you can tell...



And then Sarah and Trena while we wait in line for Indiana Jones.



That was too much fun. I can't wait to do it again!

And the rest...

I'm having uploading issues with Blogger... here's my purty other papers though.

Homework break

I needed a break so I thought I'd post. I've been playing with new brushes from Design Fruit... here's another "collection" I made. I still wanna ask him if it's okay to distribute my papers (as freebies of course). I added textures to this one... but forgot to play with gradients. I needa combine all my new tools in ONE paper. But later... I don't really have the time right now. Please comment in the meantime!


Well Blogger isn't cooperating. There's one page any way... :)

Long Time No See

The last few weeks have been crazy hellish. Thus, I’ve posted only crap (quite literally mind you). The sad thing is there still isn’t much to write about. I’m overjoyed about the last Harry Potter book coming out a week after the new movie. I’m sad at the same time. I really don’t want it to end! My butt has been glued to LG15 and Mugglenet the last few weeks when I manage to find some spare time. Yippy!

We depart for Arizona tomorrow to visit some friends. She just had a baby boy and I’m SO excited to meet him. The boys are having “poker night” tonight as well… so Trena , my sister-in-law and fellow D&D widow (yes, I said D&D), and I are meeting up with my other SIL, Sarah (the one with the adorable kids), and the 3 of us will be running around Disneyland. Fun pictures and eventually layouts will ensue! I’m excited as I haven’t taken lots of pictures lately.

Meanwhile back in reality I’ve got a MOUNTAIN of homework this week. I honestly have no idea how I’m going to do it all. Hopefully Matthew doesn’t have much homework left and he can do most the driving this weekend! Remind me why I’m going to school? I’m taking this crazy “Liberal studies science history” class… know what it really is? Quantum physics theory. Is that the same as quantum mechanics? You’d think I would know because I’M the one taking the class, but not so much. It’s VERY interesting and I think I understand it mostly, but now that we have to regurgitate it back to him in the form of a take-home assignment, I’m not so sure. Time will tell.

Until then have a happy President’s Day weekend and we’ll see

I’m officially a dork

Okay. I’ve been avoiding the whole Lonelygirl15 thing for a long time now. I thought it was a great concept but didn’t want to get involved as I knew that I’d be hooked. Then I somehow stumbled upon it in Wiki. I have no clue how it happened, I don’t even remember what I was looking at but something made a reference to it so I clicked on it and read up on it… intriguing. Then I heard Katherine McPhee was to be on an episode. The next thing I knew I stayed up really late 3 nights in a row last week to catch up on the whole thing. I was just watching her vids and then realized that I needed to go back and watch Daniel’s… and then I realized there was this Gemma chick… and then there was Jonas. I got all caught up on the 3rd night and then somehow figured out that there were several video accounts also owned by “The Order.” FORGET IT! I thought.

And yeah, I got sucked back in. I think I’ll just have my LG15 night on Tuesdays and watch them all at once. I’ve since figured out that there’s also some chick named Cassie that I need to watch her handful of vids. After that I’m not adding anything! I know there’s at least 7 or 8 YouTube channels carrying the story, I’ll just keep up with the 4 I followed those first few days.

I do recommend that you go to Lonelygirl15.com if you’re going to start out though. They have ALL the videos in order for you there. As opposed to trying to figure out who’s jumping in and when and getting all mixed up and scattered like I did. Know that it’ll take you forever too. This started as a 2-minute video every few days over the last 9 months or so. Once the extra characters get their own videos in, it’s up to 129 right now (according to LG15.com). At about 2 minutes each that puts you at about 4.3 hours (some videos go longer than the 2 min. too so that just increases the viewing time).

There’s also some whole alternate reality game going along with it. People are really into this whole thing, trying to figure stuff out. There are phone numbers to call (hidden in the videos) that play messages with MORE clues on them. It’s crazy! I’d love to get all into it all, but I DO have a life… somewhat. I’ll just stick to videos only I guess. I can handle watching and waiting for the story to unfold before me. It’s kinda cool though. It’s almost like a real-life MMORPG for free! Ha ha!

Here’s her first video… on You Tube… for whatever reason the website doesn’t have this one. Google bought You Tube, Google owns Blogger, so why I can’t get a code to link to the video here is beyond my comprehension… but here’s the link to the video page.

And then if you go to LG15 you can get videos 2-129. ;) There’s a few in there that I need to go back and see since I missed them before. Have fun!!

Post Secret Pick of the Week

Can't you just TELL that a scrapbooker made this page? Ha ha!
