So, last night I TIVOed Desperate Housewives and watched it when I got home today. The Susan character is a woman after my own heart---she can't cook either. There was a scene where she was mopping her ceiling and explained that it needed to be done because she had cooked. LOL! She then proceeded to say...



I thought that was classic! Although I can't blame my omelet mishap on the stove, I can save this excuse for another day. LOL! You can too...just download the wordart here.

Is anyone having trouble uploading to Mediafire? For several days now I haven't been able to add anything new. What a pain!

I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Lots of things to tell you about!

I can't believe I have to go back to work again tomorrow. Why do the weekends fly by so quickly? Is June ever going to get here?

I know that I've told you about my lack of cooking skills before, but today I decided to turn the stove on and cook something. I wanted an omelet and decided to cook it myself. Now, in the past when I've tried to make one, it ends up looking more like scrambled eggs with stuff in it. It's not very pretty but it's usually edible. LOL! I got it cooked and on the plate without too much trouble. I decided to put some salt on it and realized that my normal salt shaker needed to be refilled. So, I grabbed one of the store bought prefilled shakers I had left over from a cookout. It wasn't until my plate was covered in PEPPER that I realized I had grabbed the wrong shaker AND opened the pour side of the lid instead of the shaker side.

Now here's the best and most embarrassing part of the story.....I had to make a special trip to the store just to buy the stuff to make the omelet. LOL!

...And that's why I get food delivered!

I wanted to show you another layout I made using Shell's Rock Star Birthday Kit. This picture was also taken at Madam Tussauds Wax Museum. It wasn't a very good picture, but Shell's papers and elements make it look better. It's Bob Marley...



Flowerscraps is adding a new kit to her store today called Memories of the Orient. Here's a preview of the kit...



Isn't it pretty? I was lucky enough to get to play with it ahead of time. Here are the layouts I made...





You should also checkout Flowerscraps blog for the chance to pick up some awesome quickpages that have been made with her Sweet Love Kit!

Here's another layout using a picture from Madam Tussauds. That's my friend Susan holding onto John Wayne...



I used April's Leather Kit to scrap the picture. Somehow, it just seemed right to use leather for The Duke. LOL! Here's a preview of the kit...



There's a new report out that says Miami is the third most violent city in the US. I guess sometimes it is good not to be in first place. LOL! But you know what? I think this place is heaven and can't think of any place else that I would want to live! I love Miami!

Now, on a brighter note---Do you like to use templates when you scrap? Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. When I do use a template I love, love, love using one made by Nibbles Skribbles She's got a new set of templates in her store and they are perfect! Cheeck this set out...



Psst: I wanted to let you in on a little secret - there is a coupon included with the download for this set and rumor has it that Manda is going to be having a sale in her store for National Scrapbook Day. Combine the coupon with the sale and you will be able to get anything and everything in her store for half price, but only for a limited time - you won't want to miss this. So hurry over and pick up Template Set

What are you doing Saturday? Here's where I'll be...



Actually, the fun starts tomorrow and will last all week. You don't want to miss this! ALL TIMES ARE IN MTN STD TIME! So, all I have to do is figure out what time it will be in Miami when this is all going on and I'll see you at the Stuff To Scrap Forum

It's my bedtime. Enjoy your day!

Rock Star Birthday

Download Wordart here

I can't believe that I forgot to tell you about the new kit that Shel Belle Scraps is going to start releasing today! It's a super kit that I'm using to make things for a friends birthday, so I'll show those goodies to you when I can. Right now I can't risk ruining the surprise. LOL! Anyway, here's a preview of the kit for you to see...



Trust me, this preview doesn't do the kit justice. There are so many wonderful elements. Is there a Guitar Hero in your house? Do you know an aspiring rock star? Anyone into karaoke? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you really need to pick this kit up.

Here's a layout I made using one of my London pictures from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. I'm not sure who the girl is that's in the picture with Freddie Mercury. There were so many people trying to get there to get a picture with/of him that I gave up and just took one. LOL!



I decided to give you another wordart freebie today. This one should work with some of your layouts using this kit. Of course, I had to use 4 shared again because mediafire doesn't seem to like me very much these days. LOL!

What's up with Mediafire?

I'm not sure what's been wrong with Mediafire for the last couple of days, but it seems to be working OK now. Let's hope it stays that way!

Today was beautiful. A little windy, but still beautiful! There's a brush fire burning in the south west part of Dade County that is threatening some houses. There's been a fire burning in Collier County for several days now that has caused them to close Alligator Alley because of the smoke. I'm lucky not to live anywhere near these fires, but I sure do feel sorry for anyone who does. The winds we've been having haven't helped the situations.

We've got lots of rip currents and people are being told to stay out of the water. Guess that's what swimming pools are for. LOL! I hope the wind dies down soon, but they're saying that tomorrow will be just as windy.

I got to spend more time with What IF Guy before he flew out this afternoon and that was fun. We went to several tourist spots. I like going to these places so I'm always happy when people visit me and I have an excuse to go. LOL!


Dianna at Digicats released her Cinco de Mayo kit and it's awesome! It is just loaded with elements and papers. Make sure you stop by her blog to pick it up. Here's the preview for you to see...



You should also stop by April's blog and pick up the great QP she has for you!

OK, I've had a long day and need to get up early in the morning. I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Quick post

Here's a quick post to give you a request I received from my buddy Toby in Canada. The link will take you to 4shared because mediafire is in a bad mood this morning!

I'm off to enjoy my day now. Hope you enjoy yours!

The good, the bad and the ugly!

What a day I've had!

Here's the Good - It's Friday, It's payday, I spent time with my "what if" guy

Here's the Bad - My "what if" guy met my friends and they showed no mercy. LOL! They told every I have - or should I say had. LOL! It was very interesting and a little scary to watch Orange Croc Guy and What If Guy make small talk over drinks.

Here's the Ugly - I work with someone that is just out of control. She is letting her personal issues get in the way of doing her job and so many other people are suffering because of it. How do you tell someone that they need to seek help?

I get to spend some more time with What IF Guy tomorrow before he flies out in the late afternoon so I guess he wasn't too frighted by my friends and their stories.

As far as the lady at work goes, it's the weekend so we'll all be spared her drama until Monday. Hopefully, she'll get her family issues under control and stop taking it out on other people.

I need to get some sleep now. Enjoy your day!

Can't wait! Just wish we could get the margaritas, too. LOL!
