Rainy Days

Download wordart here

Well, my neighbor and I were planning on going to the movies today, but it was raining so we stayed. I was making fun of her and told her to pull out her wii walking game since she bought it for rainy days. She did. I have to admit it was a little addicting. I would have preferred the walk to the movie theater and back, but this wasn't such a bad backup plan.

The only complaint I can make is that you have to earn points to unlock new songs and since she hasn't had it long there aren't a lot of songs that have been unlocked. We had to turn the game off before it played Vacation by The Go Gos one more time. LOL!

So far, I'm keeping my lost bet promise and haven't had any chocolate since just before midnight Monday night/Tuesday morning. Last night I couldn't sleep because I could hear the mini Snickers bars in the kitchen laughing at me. They can laugh all they want now...In 12 days they're mine! LOL!

Oh man, I'm in trouble!

Earlier today I lost a bet and because someone (and by someone I mean me) was just a little over confident I'll be paying for it for the next two weeks.

I won't tell you what the bet was because you'll just laugh at me and say that I deserved to lose. LOL! Anyway, if I had won I would be sitting pretty for the next two weeks, but since I didn't I can't eat anything chocolate for the next two weeks.

Now, everyone knows that chocolate is very important to me. I honestly believe that chocolate makes everything better!

Had your heart broken---eat some chocolate
Have a headache---eat some chocolate
Feeling bored---eat some chocolate
Having a bad day---eat some chocolate
Having a good day---eat some chocolate
Etc, etc, etc...

After I lost, I tried to clarify exactly what no chocolate meant---Are we talking chocolate candy? Chocolate cake? Chocolate milk? Chocolate ice cream? Well, I got an answer---ABSOLUTELY NO CHOCOLATE AT ALL!

Since, I had already eaten a mini pack of M&Ms during the execution of the bet (LOL) my punishment won't be over until July 27th. It's going to be hard, but I will survive! Mainly because I'm not going to give my friends the pleasure of saying that I couldn't make it.

Now, I just need to clarify if this bet is still counts when I'm not in Miami because I'll be leaving town two different times before the two weeks are up. LOL!

If I make blog posts that are completely non-understandable during this time, don't worry---it's just the withdrawals. LOL!

Scraps of Ellay has revamped one of my favorite kits---Butterflies Are Free. It's such a fun kit and it is huge! There are 17 papers, 69 elements and 2 full alphas! I know that some of the other CT members have had some fun scrapping family pictures from the 70s so make sure you check out Ellay's blog for some awesome layout inspiration.

You can click on the kit preview to go to the Scraps of Ellay store at Stuff to Scrap.



Here are two layouts I made with the kit. These were both make for challenges at Stuff to Scrap.





This layout is of my little friend Vincent who has no problem taking your drink if you set it down. Here he is after he got hold of his Grandfather's coffee. LOL!



I used a template from the Karly's Dollies Template set for Vincent's layout. The templates are also available in the Scraps of Ellay store.



On Friday, I'll be posting a Butterflies Are Free QP freebie on the Stars of Ellay CT Blog so make sure you pick that up too!

There should be a law....

Download wordart here

Was there a comedian whose tag line was "There should be a law?"

Today my neighbor came over to show me her latest wii workout game. It's one where you pretend you're walking on an island while it tracks how many steps you've taken and how many calories you've burned. While you're walking you earn points that you can use to "unlock" things like park benches, street lights and palm trees to "decorate" your island.

Well, here's how part of that conversation went...

Me: You realize we live on Miami Beach, right?
Her: Yes.
Me: (taking her hand and walking her to the window) What do you see out there?
Her: What are you talking about?
Me: That's water and that flat gray stuff by it is called a sidewalk and people WALK on it. Now, if you don't want to walk by the bay, you can go eleven blocks in that direction (pointing behind us) or ten blocks in that direction (pointing beside us) and you're at the Atlantic Ocean. You can use the sidewalk or the boardwalk or even walk in the sand. And...you'll see lots of hot young guys with their shirts off!
Her: (laughing) Quit making fun of me! I can use this when it rains or when it's just too hot to go outside.

I had to admit that she had a point about the rain and the heat in the summer and she had to admit that I had a point about the hot guys with their shirts off. I still say there should be a law...lol!

Sick Days?

Earlier today one of my friends caught up with me and asked if I wanted to go to lunch. Well, of course I did! LOL! We walked down to the 8oz Burger Bar and of course ordered burgers. YUMMY!

After we got there my friend asked if I have ever called into work sick just because I didn't feel like going. Well, I pointed out that of course I had because everyone knows I hate wasting sick days being sick. He said that he had done it three times this week. I had to laugh when I pointed out that today was Thursday and that Monday had been a holiday. He asked me what my point was. LOL!
