Oh man, was it hard getting up for work this morning. Did your team win the Superbowl? I didn't have a favorite team but I do have to admit that I was hoping the Cardinals would win. Gotta pull for the underdog.

Did you like the commercials? There was only one that really had me laughing. Of course, when today's conversation turned to the commercials at school no one else could even remember the one I liked best. LOL! Here it is for you to see...

Now, tell me that's not funny!

The 100th day of school is finally here! Here's a picture of the candy bars and water bottles I made using Shel Belle's 100 Days of School Kit




The candy bars are for the teachers and the water bottles are for the kids.

Now, I am so tired I can think straight so I better get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

Here's hoping for a great game! Enjoy your day!

February is here and love is in the air. There are so many cool kits out now or coming out soon that it's going to be hard not to craft this month!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend. I wish I could tell you about what I did today, but I didn't do much. LOL! It's cold and I seem to have picked up that yucky cough that just won't Maybe I'll be a little more active tomorrow, but I doubt it. LOL!

I'm going to sleep now. Enjoy your day!

Almost February

Is anyone else as shocked as I am that January is already coming to an end? This month flew by so quickly.

We had such beautiful days this week but now that the weekend is here it's getting cold and yucky again. That just isn't fair! Why can't we have the pretty days when we aren't stuck at work so that we can enjoy them more?

Today we received beautiful postcards from the Poconos, Utah and the Grand Canyon. The kids have all agreed that they would love to see real mountains someday.

It's been a really long day so I'm going to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Fast post

I am really sleepy tonight so I'm just making a fast post to give you today's wordart. I know it's kind of mean, but that's the mood I'm in tonight. It's also kind of funny and I'm sort of in that kind of mood too. LOL!

Time for bed. Enjoy your day!

Everyone's fighting!

My friend got a phone call from her daughter today saying that her high school was on lockdown, but other than the rumors that were flying around she didn't know what was going on. During lunch, we turned on the 12 o'clock news to see if they would report anything. Sure enough, the opening story was about the fight that started in their cafeteria between two students and grew in number and size. By the time it was all over, the fight had spilled out of the building and 18 students were arrested. Luckily, Chrissy wasn't anywhere near the cafeteria when the fight started. She was locked safely away in the auditorium where she was playing Peter Pan in the school play.

I got home from work today and went to visit with my neighbors only to learn that they were fighting. Want to know what they're fighting about? Too bad, I'm going to tell you anyway---they are actually fighting about---Hershey Kisses! Apparently, she bought a bag with almonds and he only likes the regular kisses. She jokingly told him that she bought it on purpose so that she could have them all to herself and it went downhill from there. Apparently, he was having a really bad day! I told them that they had to stop the madness because I couldn't stand it when mommy and daddy fight. LOL! Luckily, the Hershey Kisses were on sell - buy one, get one - and she was able to calm him down when he saw that he had his very own bag of plain Hershey Kisses.

We hooked up with some of our other friends and the talk turned to Sunday's Superbowl. I'm not a fan of either team in the Superbowl so I'm more interested in the party we'll be having then the game. LOL! The guys disagreed on the best way to grill ribs. Man, do these guys take their rib grilling seriously! The discussion got so loud that we had people who were sitting near us giving us their grilling tips. Luckily, one of those people sitting near us sent over shots for the guys and that made them forget about the grilling.

I would like to think that I can get through tomorrow without anyone fighting, but that probably won't happen. You see, I took a certain someone's shoes and left a ransom note in their place. If he ever wants to see those orange crocs again, he'll pay up! LOL!

Time for me to get some sleep, Enjoy your day!

Driving, mail & email

Well, I was very proud of myself this morning. I remembered to go south to go north. Of course, that was after I couldn't remember where I parked the car. LOL! They're working on opening up express lanes on the south end of the interstate now. When that opens up I'll have to decide if I want to pay to come back home after work. The northbound lanes have spoiled me so I'll probably pay. LOL! Sadly, because of the higher traffic in the afternoons it will probably cost more than a quarter.

The Marks family sent us some more great postcards from England and
Alexandra sent a card with beautiful pictures of the Sussex area of England. Oh goodness, you guys in the UK are taking such good care of us! You're spoiling us rotten and we love it! Please, let us know if we can ever return the favor and send things from Miami.

Are you ready to work on Valentine things yet? April the Scrapaholic had got a beautiful set called Sweet Valentine at Scrap it Sassy. It's such a cool set. Here's a preview for you to see...



You can buy the whole kit or just the parts you think you'll use the most.

I have really got to start checking my junk mail folder more often. I've had some really cool emails land there instead of the main inbox. One of them contained this super cool tag that Dianna made for me. I just love it! She makes the best tags!



It's past my bedtime, so I must get some sleep. Enjoy your day!
