total random stuff:

• saw today that making memories is doing another "mm idol" contest. of course you know i’ll enter again. love their products … and am in awe of their designers. hopefully i can come up with a few new designs … otherwise i’m sure i can use a few of my recent things.
• have you heard about the scrap-a-faire going on at the end of the month? check it out … lots of fun classes by such talented designers. i signed up for erin’s journaling class … got a sneak peek and it’s going to be great. and also signed up for both of tracy’s classes … stamping and tons of fun flowers. i know deneen is signed up for a few. dina, get signed up so we can get together and work on them! lol!
• went through all my fun stuff i got from lil davis. so much chipboard and ribbons … i love chipboard and ribbon! unpackaged it all and got things in my jars and baskets … all ready to be created with.
• got around to cleaning my stove-top, microwave, and sink today. ugh … they were filthy. and when i say clean … i meant scrub like crazy.  i hate trying to clean the burner grate things. jenn told me to stick them in the oven and run the self-cleaning oven cycle (is that the right way to explain it?) … and that it will take off all that black stuff that is stuck on. figure i’ll try it later this week. and how bad is it that i’ve never cleaned my oven!?!?! lol!
• alyssa turned in her state report today and did her presentation. that was a lot of work … a written report, tons of picture pages, a oral presentation, and a visual. and i now know that i can never go back to school … i have zilch concentration for that kind of thing!
• didn’t have any daycare kids today. but i couldn’t get myself moving this morning. decided to make a run to target … was totally out of diet pepsi and chocolate. jenn passed me on the way … so i called her on her cell phone and we met up for lunch … along with ady. some good oriental chicken salad at applebees. thanks jenn!
• have officially taken over joes flannel pj’s. i realized that i was down to one pair of jammie pants … and they really weren’t that cute any more. i always get the old navy flannel pants … they must not have had any good ones this year. but i found a couple pairs in joe’s drawers. love big, baggy, comfy flannels! i can’t stay in jammies in the morning (get dressed right away) … but come 6:00 and i’m ready to put them on.
• really should have stopped at the grocery store today … need some avocadoes. i made a fun "taco bowl" yesterday for the super bowl party at my brothers … a rachael ray recipe. would’ve been a little better if we had eaten it right when it was ready … hate making something and then by the time you get to it, it’s cold. i have plenty of extras of everything to make some more … but need some avocadoes to put on top. will have to ask joe to bring some home in the morning (advantages to working in grocery!).
• btw … i’ve turned into such the cook lately. rachael ray has totally inspired me. will have to make a seperate post about all the neat tricks i’ve picked up.

and like most of my random posts … my mind just totally went blank! lol! so that’s it for now!
