Speed Scrapping

I did my first ever speed scrap last week. I think this is the way to scrapbook! One hour and seven prompts. I think the prompts were the best part for me. It really helped just narrow things down very quickly and make me get it done. Very, very cool. Will be participating in these for sure again.

Snowy, snowy day!

It snowed all day long. I think it is still snowing. I love the snow. And I love even more that we got to go and play half the day at a friend's house. The boys were wiped out and I enjoyed getting to know a gal that lives in our neighborhood. Very nice day. Just praying the boys have school tomorrow because I have an appointment I don't want to have to reschedule for the 3rd time. Yikes!

So this was the view out our back yard tonight just before dinner.

Testing, one, two, three.

Did it really have to take that long?

It's late and I am tired. I just spent almost an hour and 45 minutes on the phone trying to get my card reader to work on my computer only to find they have to send me a new one. Now I am thankful they are sending me a new one but did it really need to take almost 2 hours to discover this????????

So I haven't been able to download photos since last Wednesday and I am a wee but frustrated with the computer needless to say. Sigh.

On the up side, got to go to dinner with some friends and it was nice. Hey, at least I got home early enough to spend the nearly 2 hours attempting to fix my computer.

Not sure I can wait however long it will be before the new part arrives...may have to go and get a card reader I can plug into my USB port tomorrow. Oh wait, I think I can download them on my laptop! Hmm, must try that tomorrow instead. It's late and I am tired...off to bed for me!

I can't believe it!

OMG!!! With just 3 minutes to spare I finished and ordered my 2009 and 2010 calendar. Yep, you did read that correctly. My 2009 book! I finished that puppy in just 2 days. I am in shock. I am so excited I don't know if I am going to be able to get to sleep. I had a free 8 x 8 book from Shutterfly and of course it had to be finished today. So I got this wacky idea in my head I would make my 2009 book because I had picked out and uploaded my favorite photos for a calendar that I didn't get to finsihed last week so I was going to get this one done no matter what. I actually ordered my 2009 book and haven't had time to upload and order my 2008 book! I am finally getting the hang of things again. Woo-hoo!

I did it!

I am so freaking excited I can hardly stand it. I just finished our 2008 book! Yes, I know, I am a year behind but I finished it. Well, almost. I still have to go back and proof each page but it is all there. Yippee! I am so very excited. Now I have to get started on 2009...maybe I can actually have that finished before 2011. Ha!

I am feeling a lot better but still don't have much of a voice. Yuck. Very hard when you have two little three year olds running around. I'll survive. But man I wish this would just go away for good. Vertigo is really not fun AT ALL! But at least I have something for the nausea so that hasn't been nearly as bad this time around.

Still so much I need to update here but am tired and heading to bed soon. I was just so excited I had to share it with someone!

Happy New Year!

I did it! I finished adding the photos for my Project 365 blog this evening. If I didn't feel so bad I would spend the next hour looking back over them but I feel terrible again and am heading to bed.

Nearly a three weeks now fighting vertigo and ear stuff. He told me this week if it doesn't clear up I will have to go to the ENT and probably have tubes put in my ears. I thought they only did that for children!

Can't believe it is 2010. So much to talk about and so little time. I'll be back though when I am feeling a bit better and can manage to keep my head from spinning.
