i have lots of things i’ve been wanting to post on … but i can’t get an organized thought out of my head tonight. so i’m going with the "randomness" type thing. lol!

• alyssa got back home yesterday from hawaii! so glad to have her home and have the house back to normal. she was kind enough to bring me back a suitcase of dirty clothes … but made up for it by bringing my scrapbook supplies from hawaii! she also had tons of gifts for all of us … including the daycare kids. i know how much she was missing everyone while she was gone. she’s still adjusting to being back and getting into our routine … and also the time difference. and the girls are back to fighting their normal fights! lol!
• it’s been super hot here this week. i havn’t even been outside unless totally neccesary. lol! i did have to go out for soccer practice. glad i stayed at alyssa’s practice … she ended up having an asthma attack. she’s not the kind to stop and sit down … she doesn’t want them to think she’s not trying or just being lazy. but i told her she can’t mess with her breathing … if she’s having trouble she needs to sit, take her inhalers, and catch her breath. it’s not about not being able to keep up or not being in shape. she’s seriously in shape … i mean, she’s been playing soccer for the last year straight. i think maybe it threw her a little too since she had literally just back from vacation … it was super hot … and they were really pushing them harder than i think they needed too. we’ll see how tomorrow goes.
• finished up some scrapping assignments … i even turned them in a few days early. so unlike me. lol! i was determined to have them done before alyssa got home … and for once i accomplished something ahead of schedule. just waiting for final approval to see whether i have to make any changes … then i can send them off.
• and now since i’ve finished up some things … i feel like i need to re-group. i seriously havn’t made a layout in about 7 weeks now … i’ve never gone that long before. lol! i’m dying to just sit and create. but before i do … i need to get organized. i have so much stuff out from so many different things.
• need to put together some goodie boxes for a few people. have you checked out the blog-abration yet that i mentioned a few weeks ago? all sorts of good prizes (including 2 from me) so make sure and sign up. and you know me … i can always find some stuff that doesn’t inspire me anymore … but can maybe inspire someone else! you’d think at some point i’d run out of things … but i’ve been doing this for about 12 years now. so you can just imagine what i’ve collected over the years! lol!
• really trying to get my photos in order. i know, i know … i think i just did this a while back. lol! but apparently i’ve taken a ton more photos since the last time i was caught up. i try and be really good about sorting out all my pics, narrowing them down to the best ones, getting them edited, uploading them to the online storage, ordering some prints, and then choosing which ones to print here at home for scrapping. and i try and do all this with each month before moving them to the external harddrive. but that’s a lot of organizing … and a lot of work. so when i get a month or two behind … it gets a little overwhelming. but i’m making some progress.

i guess that’s enough for now. my mind went blank and i can’t think of anything else right now anyways. the girls have been going to bed later lately … even later then normal for when they’re off school. it’s killing my tv time. lol! so i’m off to watch a few shows before bed … plus there’s a big piece of fudge cake with my name on it. lol! i know … so NOT what i need … but it looks so yummy and will make me happy!

also keep your eye out tomorrow (although it’s 10:45 pm here right now so do give me some time till i wake up tomorrow. lol!) … i just remembered that i think i’ll have something to share involving a layout!
