ok, fine … i’ll blog. lol! totally random tonight … mainly scrapbook stuff … creative stuff. will do the kids next time.

• first off … just wanted to say "thank you" to all of you that have been leaving me such nice comments on the projects i’ve been sharing! i seriously love reading each one … and hopefully i have replied to each of them.
• last night i noticed that i had passed the 2000th comment mark on my blog … that’s a ton of comments over the past 2 1/2 years! i knew it was coming up … and i had thought about having a RAK for the person that left the 2000th comment. last night it was at comment 2004 … so i counted backwards to 2000 … and carla is my lucky winner of a RAK that i never actually announced! kind of cool and unexpected, right … makes it more fun! i have no idea what i’m sending her yet … so maybe i’ll wait to fill the box before declaring how much fun she’ll actually get from me! lol!
• played around with my blog a little bit today. i want to freshen things up some … change the look a little. i have to thank kelly for sharing with me how to change the text colors in typepad. see, typepad has about 13 colors to choose from … and not the colors i really wanted. i knew there was a way to have more options … i just didn’t know what that way was. i was noticing the cool colors on kelly’s blog today … so i figured i would just ask her. she was kind enough to tell me … saving me precious time trying to figure it out on my own. lol!
• but then i got busy after changing a few text colors … and didn’t really finish. so the red, turquoise (which i’m convinced i’m spelling wrong), and the brown are not necessarily permanent … i’ll work on it more tomorrow. and i’m thinking of a new banner … have a few ideas in mind.
• i got a phone call today from scrapbooks etc today … but the layout they were requesting is already being published. how sad is that? lol! that’s the first time i’ve ever had to say that a layout isn’t available. and to have to say "no" to scrapbooks etc? so painful!
• i took out my camera today. i also took some crappy pictures today. i won’t lie … they were bad. so bad that i deleted them all.
• i placed a photo order through winkflash on monday … remember, all their 5×7’s are only 14 cents right now. i actually have 2 accounts … one for family photos and one for daycare photos. you can use the coupon code once … so i placed the order for the daycare photos and will do the family photos next. wasn’t until i had placed the order … i realized i forgot to choose the matte finish and the white borders. ARGH!!! i detest glossy photos … and i have to have the white border. luckily, it was only 18 photos … guess i’ll give them to the parents.
• i had this crazy thought a few weeks ago … i was actually thinking about coming up with some sort of class idea. sometimes i miss teaching. i taught at the lss for 2 years … until about a year and a half ago when the store closed. i had gone in a different lss a few weeks ago … and apparently i was "noticed". lol! i actually thought the lady was just being funny … in a "oh yeah, we remember you" kind of way. turns out, they knew my name … she said that she was always telling the previous owner that they had to figure out how to steal me away from the store where i was teaching. she said to let her know if i got back into teaching. so i was thinking about it … but now i’m not sure.
• yeah, that last one was just rambling.  i’m thinking about something … wait, i’m not thinking about something. i know, make up my mind and then share with you … that would make more sense. lol!

ok … that’s it for now. i have a movie waiting for me. i’m caught up on my shows again … except for the 2 that were on tonight. so i picked up a few movies. so funny how i go in and exchange joe’s action and suspense movies … for my chick flick movies.  then he brings in my chick flick movies and gets his action and suspense movies back!
