The end of the week is here!

The week is ending and the weather is warming back up! Thank goodness!

I've been busy making wrappers for the husband of a friend of mine to give to his patients. Here's a simple one I made using April's Winter Wonderland Kit Remember, she's still got that awesome sell going on!



You can download this wrapper here. Minus Kenny's name, of course. By the way, if you happen to be one of his patients, would you please act like you've never seen this? LOL!

Today's wordart was made after my friend, Denise, took her daughter shopping last weekend and did her very best to save the economy. LOL! You can download it here

I'm going to bed now. Yes, I'm still fighting that cold and I think the cold is winning. Enjoy your Friday!

Still Cold

I'm telling you, we've already had more cold days this year then we had all last winter and it's just the beginning of December. We broke out the hot chocolate at school again today. I'm just making a quick post now so that I can give you Thursday's wordart andgo to bed. It's an early night for me, but I am tired!

I did want to show you another page I made using a mixture of papers from April the Scrapaholic's Thanksgining & Christmas kits. If you want the wordart you can still pick it up here



Now, here's today's wordart. I thought it might be cute for any Christmas messes you have to scrap. Last year, my friend's tree fell over twice. LOL!

Long Day

So I got home after a LONG day at work. The express lanes were closed this morning so I lost one of the four remaining free days I was supposed to have. The weather was yucky and I'm fighting a cold. I checked my email and found something to make me smile. You have got to look at this layout Audrey made! How can you not smile when you see that picture? Everyone sitting around with their own computer! I think they really are a normal family!


Audrey said she used paper by twinchies. If someone can point me in that direction, I would appreciate it! If you missed this wordart and would still like to get it you can pick it up here

I tried playing with April's new kits tonight. Just remember that I'm taking cold medicine. LOL! Here's what I came up with...





Her kits are awesome and you can click on the previews below to go check them out. Remember she's having a sell!





OK, I've got to go to bed or I'll never get up in the morning! I've got two goodies for you! They're both in the same zip file so you can use both or go with which ever one you're in the mood for. LOL!

To pay or not to pay?

Well, I found my car this morning and survived another Monday. The weather is taking another cold turn and it's supposed to drop into the 50's tonight. YUCK!

Here's my dilemma---Do I pay to drive in the express lanes on the interstate or not? Milage wise it's better for me to drive up Collins Avenue to get to work every morning, but time wise it's much faster to take the interstate. On Collins, I have a slower speed limit and lots of stoplights. On the interstate, I have lots of traffic and if there's an accident forget about getting anywhere.

Last summer, Dade County opened up express lanes on the interstate. Those lanes have come in handy in the mornings! Starting Friday, you will have to pay to drive in those lanes and the amount you will pay depends on the amount of traffic at the time. It may cost as little as a quarter or as much as $6.00.

Now, I do have the advantage of going in the opposite direction of most traffic. In the mornigs I head north while most people are heading south and in the afternoons I'm coming south while the heavier traffic is heading south. But, if you've ever driven on Interstate 95 in Dade County, you know that even if you're going in the opposite direction of the heavier traffic---you're still in heavy traffic. LOL!

Now, I've spent the last five months using the express lanes for free and it's been really nice! I've gotten used to it, but I just don't know if I really want to pay money to go to work. What do you think?

OK, enough about that! Here's today's wordart. Again, there is no special reason for this. I just like it! Click here to download.

I'm off to take a shower now. Have a great day!

I should be sleeping!

It's always so hard to get back on schedule after having time off from work. By the time I get back on schedule the weekend will be here and I'll be staying up late again. LOL!

The rain finally came and boy did it rain hard! Now, Let's hope it helped to clean my car a little. It's supposed to rain more today. I really hope we'll be able to take the kids outside. Mondays are bad enough as it is, not being able to let them outside for awhile makes it a very long day!

Today was the last day of hurricane season. I'm glad we didn't have a storm here, but I could have used more than two days off from school because of the weather. We don't get snow here. LOL!

Talk about snow! Toby sent me this photo of her standing on her back porch in Canada. Anyone want to volunteer to go help her shovel snow? LOL! I wonder how many days of school we would get off if it snowed like that in Miami!



I scrapped the picture using April's Winter Wonderland Kit. It's an awesome kit and it's on sell! Just check out this preview...



By the way, April is the featured designer at Scrap It Sassy! Go check out her store there. She's got an awesome sell going on and you don't want to miss it!



There's no special reason for today's wordart. I just liked it. LOL! You can pick it up here

Now, I'm off to force myself to get some sleep. Have a great day!

The end of November

Man, this long weekend sure went by fast. It's ending now that means that November is ending too. (sigh) Now, my birthday month is ending and I have to go back to work tomorrow. (double sigh). That's OK though, cause now I get to start MY CHRISTMAS MONTH! LOL!

I've already pulled out my favorite book How Murray Saved Christmas by Mike Reiss to take to school tomorrow. Do you know this book? Santa gets hurt and Murray, the Jewish diner owner, has to deliver the Christmas presents. LOL!

We also have to start planning for our annual trip on The Polar Express. That means we put the chairs in aisles like a train and read the book to the kids while they drink hot chocolate and eat cookies. LOL!

A couple of years ago I had a student that insisted to his mother that we REALLY were going on the REAL Polar Express. He told her all about how I had gone online and bought the tickets. LOL! (I designed and printed them ) This year I have his little brother. Somehow, I don't think he will be as easily fooled.

I finally got the new tags put on my car this morning. The old ones expired on the 15th. LOL! I had been riding around with the new one on the seat beside me in case I got pulled over. LOL! Trust me, with the way I drive, it's a miracle I didn't get pulled over! Anyway, I went out this morning determined to get the new tags on. I took two different screwdrivers and a butter knife with me cause I couldn't remember what I used the last time I had to change the tags. LOL! (It's so much easier when they just give you the little stickers!) It turns out the the screwdriver I threw into my purse at the last minute "just in case" was the one I needed.

It's supposed to rain so I pulled the car up to the top of the parking garage so that it would be outside and the rain could help wash some of the dirt off of it. LOL! Yeah, lets see how much luck I have remembering that when I go out in the morning and can't find my car! So far no rain, just lots of clouds and wind. The sky is getting darker though I sure hope it's not raining when I have to go to work in the morning!

Today's wordart is for everyone (like me) that needs to explain to Santa why they just couldn't be good this year. You can get it here

Now, I need to go concentrate on the football game. Miami is currently beating St. Louis 13 -9!

Football

Well, I just watched Miami lose to NC State. BOO! Sorry, NC people, but even when I lived there I didn't pull for NC State.

Have you been hitting the sells this weekend? I haven't. haha! Miami is crowded enough on a normal day, I have no desire to fight even bigger crowds at the mall. I usually do most of my shopping online anyway. It may not be as exciting as the Black Friday sells, but it's much easier!

When Miami hosted the Superbowl in 2007, the traffic was horrible. Everyone came for the game and wanted to stay on the beach. They all arrived by the Friday before the game and the traffic was horrible! It took me forever just to get home from work that day and I made sure I walked anywhere else I needed to go! I was happy that it rained on everyone during the game. LOL!

I said then that when the Superbowl came back to Miami I would be taking a vacation somewhere else that week. LOL! Looks like I've got until 2010 to plan that trip. LOL!

Anyway, today's word art is for all the shoppers out there. You can pick it up here

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
