I have a follower!!!!!!!

My first follower (don't tell anyone I made her do it or that I actually was the one to sign her up)  Doesn't matter I have a follower.  Maybe more will follow.  How many time can I say follow.  Got the Xbox live to work and Hulu going.  Fun stuff.  Spent the morning with my Mom.  It was a good day.  Up in the morning early to serve the coffee.  So what should I save up for next.....

My Wish List.....

• New Camera
• Apple Desktop computer
• New fancy phone
• Tiffany Key Charm

By the way my Birthday is coming up soon.  Like in a week.  I will not mention my age. 

Good Night

maybe

you should take a right



What is today?

Just a few words for today............

Fruit flys (why,where,how)

Custody Battle (tragic)

Kinect (fun)

What I live for.

Monday moan day

Lots of moaning today. Yep that's all I have to say (not really). Super tired today and hoping that the healing goes quick for my shoulder. Wanted to be asleep by now but that has not happened. So for now, just posting a few of the cute (I think so) frames I made for my mom for Christmas. Using my Silhouette Cameo and paint. She absolutely loved them.

This one is my favorite.  I just threw it together after cutting out the word Beach.  I think I am going to make more of these. 

I was hoping that this one would turn out ok and I feel like it worked out great. 

I cut out the words on the Cameo and then mod podged them on and painted over them.  I really like how it turned out. 



Alright I am headed to bed.   Got to get up early to make the lattes. 

Good Night

Not

Pick up the Pipes

I really need to figure out how to make a cute signature thingy. 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, now onto 2012 and the rush of birthdays. 

Grateful that I am feeling better.  More things to come.  Hope everyone had a great day, I know that I did.  Love Love Love was the word of the day.  So here is the favorite picture from today thinking of making it next years Christmas card.  There were so many good ones, with smile and great poses but this is so funny and just TRUE.

Could not get any better.........

Checking it twice

Making myself work on the list that needs to be done.  WHAT!?!?!?! I only have 5 more days, thats plenty of time to do all my shopping and making of gifts.  Yea plenty of time (must convice myself that this is true) Here are a few of the things that need to be done.

1. finish making cookies with Mom
2. make nuts and bolts (Nana's fancy chex mix name)
3. shop for all the family and I mean all
4. wrap said gifts
5. ect........  

Had a good night with Jodie (BFF) and her daughter.  Turned that cookie dough into some cookies tonight.  Made a great dinner of shepards pie with whipped potatoes, perfect comfort food. Just waiting for hubby and boys to come home from pressure washing Starbucks.  They sure are out late.  Still feeling yucky.  I am waking up looking like something punched me in the face.  Back to work on Wed, hoping that I can get myself out of the bed that morning.  So yea that is about it, lots and lots of crazy madness in my head because I have so much to do.  Or that could be all the cold meds making it cloudy in there. Going to share a few pictures from tonight.  Also meet our other family member Tugboat.  He is over 6 years old and he is the best dang dog in the whole world.

Chocolate chip and giant ginger cookie

Sugar cookies getting ready to decorate

Getting it done

"I didn't lick my fingers"

snarfffffff............................

The view from my laptop.

UGH.....

I am so stuffed up, I could be a turkey.

So pretty much feeling crappy, wishing that my cold was not the only thing that I can handle right now but it seems that it is.  There is no medication that can handle this much snot.  Sorry to be such a downer I am going to go blow my nose now.  Better be a better day tomorrow.  Not even sure what I am going to do.  Blah blah blah blah.

and a GOOD NIGHT should not be PULLED PIE. 

And this makes it 15

Lucky number 15........

Just have to say I am super excited about my very first comment on this blog.  Now if I could just breathe but my nose will just not cooperate.  Ugh......sniffle sniffle snort snort......  Feeling a little bit worse for wear but this always seems to be the way it is right before Christmas. Just took it easy today hoping I will be up and ready to go tomorrow.  Have so much to do and so little time.  Pretty sure that is the theme at this time of the year.  So I thought I would post some pictures to warm myself up and maybe someone will enjoy them also.  So here are a few of this summers surfing pictures.  Maybe some Christmas pictures will be posted tomorrow.  So for now just sit back and relax and enjoy the beach.  It is kinda funny that Soul Surfer is on the T.V. right now.  Hahahaha.  Just saying "anything is possible anything at all."

GOOD NIGHT

TO TIGHT

Oh where oh where.....

Did my good thoughts go. . . . . . . . .

Not feeling well at all.  Went to work and felt awful, cooked a whole lotta mac and cheese, helped set up the Christmas party at EPIC.  Picked up Faith and then went to the Christmas party.  It was a great night.  Love seeing all the EPIC family.  Just wish I wasnt so sick.  But hey I won a skateboard (will post pic later)  Epicsurfministries.com Getting my hair done tomorrow morning then shopping with Mom after.  I really hope I feel better.  So that is about all my nyquil brain can handle.  Here are just a few of my fav's from tonight. 

Tuesday good day.

Trying to skip this one but hahahah I am not.  Still trying to figure this blog thing out. But by the time I get home get a couple things done like today organizing my desk area. Cook dinner,pick up Faith,blah blah blah.  I am a little sleepy eyed.  So still just a struggling mother,barista,blogger for now.  Hoping to find the right information and help.  I have to say I am sure one lucky lady.(just a random statement thrown in here)  I really have an amazing family and friends.  So up early early tomorrow hoping that my finger does not hurt tonight, kind of difficult to type with it.   

Just a few from when I was in school.

Hoping to be back in school soon.

I really really loved taking the photography class.

Faith made such an amazing model, we need to do something like this again soon.

GOOD NIGHT

FOOD FIGHT

Just getting it done

So I am not doing to good today.  But I made it to the end.  Just one of those days.  But that is okay there is always tomorrow.  So leaving you with a few pictures from the past.  Just cause I can. 

GOOD NIGHT

My Sunday off.......

COOKIE TIME!!!!!!

Today was a great day off.  I got to sleep in, that is always a special treat.  Went to the grocery store with Noah and purchased a few baking necessities. Put a roast in the crock pot and cleaned up kitchen for cookie time....... 

You must always have lots of butter for cookie time, check Santa

checking the pile of butter.....

 

 

Then there is always the clean up, I managed to keep it pretty clean today.....

Only after cleaning up the kitchen, I could do a little craft time and play with my Silhoutte Cameo,I managed to make a mess in that room also.

Finally all the dough was loaded in the fridge for future baking.  I feel very good about this.  I made a few of the chocolate chip cookies and they turned out beautiful. Looking forward

to the day that we cut out the cute shapes I have.

So that was some of my day.  We had a nice sit down dinner with the coke roast, mashed potatoes ,gravy, corn ,broccoli and cresent rolls.  I will put more picture of my finished craft project, as soon as I am done.  Headed to bed feeling pretty good about myself.  That is a nice change.  We shall see how tomorrow goes. 

Im off.....

Headed into work, got my work clothes on and drinking a cup of coffee.  Should be a good night.


P.S.  I was just think that I need to let myself and anyone else know that I am still learning this blog process and I plan on adding more to the blog, such as crafts and other things.  Just an FYI.  I can't wait to look back on the blog and laugh at the beginnings.  

Its friday night......

So its Friday.  TGIF and all that.  Off to work this morning, was very hard to get up kept hitting the snooze button.  So (second time I used so at the beginning of a sentence) my dear hubby and I had a little bit of a tiff before I left for work.  Everyone noticed that my attitude was low at work.  But thankfully he showed up and surprised me while I was working with my favorite of all things.  Tangerine juice from the fresh market, also fresh raspberries and a very cute card.  How lucky am I.  Very much so I would say.  Came home from work and crashed until I got ready (I kind of felt cute tonight) to go out for dinner and a little shopping with hubs. Had a little set back in the way I felt (cute) when I saw myself in the mirrors at the store. One day that is not going to happen.   Even got to go to T.J. Max, could have spent all night in that store looking around but someone was hungry so we had to go.  Dinner at Chili's then home for some laptop time.  Waiting on Noah to get home from his football game.  The Fletcher football team went way way further then they have ever went before.  How exciting is that for Noah (to bad it really isn't very exciting for him), I am pretty sure he is thankful that the season is finally over. Going to try out some new kind of patch for my shoulder tonight.  Hopefully I can handle the smell of tiger balm patch and hopefully it works.  So off to bed, I close the store tomorrow night.  So i guess I will be doing an earlier posting or maybe a post from the store with my phone.  We shall see.......

Funny story about this picture.  I thought it was cute and i looked ok but when I showed James he said "I don't like it"  i guess we are all entitled to our opinions.

YUMMY

Should be asleep....

What am I doing up?  Oh yea I am writing on my blog.  I should be sleeping but I am not.  Just sitting here on my laptop and listening to my hubby laugh at the show he is watching.  Had a pretty good day off spent breakfast with James and then did a little shopping.  Meet my BFF (I know she would love to see this) at tacolu for lunch holy cow that place is good.  Love love the queso yummy.  Went to EPIC tonight and it was good to see everyone.  So yep that is about it.  I am super duper sleepy and need to lay my head down.  Hopefully I am tired enough to sleep through the pain of my shoulder.  So its a good night and time to get up at 7 in the morning.  Not very thoughtful this evening maybe next time. 

 Tacolu...not my picture but still such a yummy place for lunch.

Great night at EPIC happy faces all around.



Good evening

oh how to start this post, funny how much pressure I feel to make it right.  I could just sit here all night looking at other blogs to compare myself to, feeling worthless and stupid or I can just write and not over think it.  So far so good.  Even with pain in my shoulder killing me I am writing.  James (husband) is very tired of my computer use at night I offered to show him what I am doing hoping that he would understand. By the way he is off pressure washing the store so I am free to use computer without guilt. I just want to make sure that I get the commitment (more than just one week)down before he reads it.  My day started out pretty good.  Work was fast then on my way home I stopped and got some boiled shrimp from my favorite place Safe Harbor. Making sure that I would be well energized for the running club tonight.  But of course more sabotage, some kind of cold wet front came through and I received a text stating it was canceled. So I ended up picking up the kids and dinner (tacos) but was pleasently surprised to have some friend over instead.  Lots of laughter and talking. Oh and a little haircutting thrown in too.  Fixing Faith's "bangs" she cut in school. What am I going to do with that girl.    So pretty good day I would say. 

My lunch today a work. Not to bad it least it wasnt my (nasty secret inserted here) usual Red Bull and Slim Jim habit.  YUCK I know bad bad bad.

Safe Harbor

Just wondering

Updating from my phone. At work feeling pretty good today I actually have energy.  Hoping for a better out come this afternoon. I feel guilty about not kissing my hubby before I left for work. No matter how mad he makes me I will love him no matter what.

Can't we all just get along

This almost didnt make it tonight.  For some reason there is conflict in the household.  I wish it wasnt true. Also had to make a payment for the internet since it was shut off here at home.   I think the stress of it all (Christmas,house,bills,jobs, ect...)  is really getting to us. Work was early today, not to bad of a day.  Came home with full intentions of getting things done.  Put laundry in the washer changed my clothes sat down on the couch to drink some water and fell alseep instantly.  Pretty sure I am getting over some kind of sickness.  Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Work again early then I am supposed to walk run at night (I better do it).  I hate this feeling of unrest and unhappiness.  It does not feel like Christmas at all.  Ok better be a less whinny post tomorrow.  Headed to bed 4am sure does come early.

The images outside my front windsheild, waiting to go into work this morning.

Noah is going to kill me, using the free internet (to pay that bill)  at McDonalds while he puts away some fries after football practice. 

UGH......

So I am a failure.  Worked but left early my stomach was killing me.  I wonder if it is sabotage of my own making.  No walking, came home and went to dinner with hubby and oldest son.  On a good note I guess, my steak at dinner was most delicious.  Headed to bed with my head hanging low.  I don't feel like I got anything accomplished and I have so so so much to do. Oh well hopefully it is a better day tomorrow.  Work at 5 and I am still up.  Better head to bed hopefully I can sleep.

This is a work in progress

Im off to work, slinging those lattes.  Hoping for a good day today.  I am supposed to walk run after work tonight.  I am not going to come up with excuses to not go that is my promise to myself and now it is in writing on the internet.  Not sure if that makes much of a difference but I am hoping that it will.  Ok, I am taking Faith to school then I am going to stop by walgreens for some chapstick  (my lips are super dry and swollen feeling) I also have some film that has been sitting around the house for years, looking forward to see what is on those.  Hopefully something I can use for a Christmas present.

                                         Work and workout clothes..........
