that has got to be the longest i've gone without posting in a long time … 3 days. i don't know what happened. actually, i do know what happened … just a busy couple of days and not enough downtime to even think about writing anything meaningful. so i guess i'll spit out some randomness for you today.
i havn't made a layout in a while now. i miss it. and i have a new stack of paper that is screaming to me to be used. i did make a few cards. and a project … with something to go with it that had me totally and completely out of my comfort zone. and out of my studio. you'll see in a couple of weeks.
had a couple of great opportunities come up these past few days. excited about each one. and a few of them require me to sit down and do some writing. that part always has me blocked.
been super busy with softball kicking into gear. joe's umpiring for the high school baseball teams again … and just this week has 5 games. so he works all night, sleeps for a few hours, and then umpires … then comes home for a quick nap and back to work. which leaves me to get sarah to softball practices … taking whatever kids are with me at the time. opening day is this weekend .. and then we'll be busy with games a few weeknights too.
alyssa and sarah are fighting constantly … all the time. it drives me crazy. someone is always making some little comment under their breath … or getting a little jab in here and there when they think i'm not looking. just always instigating trouble … when there doesn't need to be any to begin with. some nights i don't even know what to say. no matter how many times i say it … i get the "i know, i know" response. yet they still keep doing the same thing over and over.
i had my neighbor over the last two days … she's 5 years old. and boy, can she talk. i'm used to the littler ones now. and i forgot how much the older ones can talk and talk and talk and talk. but she's pretty funny … and we had some great conversations. not to say that haley and nikolas don't talk to me though. haley talks all the time .. just a differnet sort of conversation with a 2 year old. and nikolas is talking so much … it's crazy how much i understand.
i have a great idea for a stamp shelf … and the perfect spot in my studio for it. very basic idea … just like my paint shelf. have to remember to ask my personal carpenter about that … otherwise known as my mom. lol!
have you heard of crop chocolate? some great deals. the catch is that there's only one deal a day … so you have to get them right away. otherwise, they'll be gone the next day … and another deal in it's place. check it out!
i want to paint parts of the house. we have a good neutral color. but it's got this dull, drap kind of look to it. we get very little good light in this house … and just the way it hits, the house always looks so dull. i know my mom is totally rollling her eyes just reading this … because she thinks it's a good color. but i need something with a little more warmth to it. i want to do a really nice shade of yellow … nothing too bold though.
guess that's it for now. i very randomly typed that between the kids running in and out, stopping to take one potty and change the other, watching the lawn dudes mow the lawn, and eat breakfast. and now i'm drawing a blank on anything else. working on finishing up a layout .. so hopefully, i can share that tomorrow.
