sadly, it's been over a month since my last random tidbits post. i'm certainly not going to bore you to death, with an entire month's worth of facebook status updates. lol! but i do think they're a fast and easy way to give you a taste of my everyday doing's and going-on's. so here's a taste of my last month. with a simple share of a layout that i never got around to blogging about.

as seen in the July/August 2010 issue of PaperCrafts magazine. copyright creative crafts group. posted with prior permission from the publisher.

how many things do i need to take out to create these 10 projects? apparently, i need 492 things out on my scrap island at once. you'd think i was performing major surgery, with this set-up.

i've come to the conclusion that we're a "dark family". meaning, i do at least 3 loads of dark laundry a week. but only about 1/4 of a load of whites.

zachary says that he wants to go for a car ride, to go get me some starbucks. he says that i'm way too tired today, and need to wake up. yep. i'm pretty sure that's what all his baby talk means 😉

luckily, i have super hearing powers when it comes to the fedex truck and the UPS truck. caught him before he rang the doorbell. i don't care what he was bringing me … if had woken up these 2 little ones, i would have been very upset with him. lol!

i bought a new pair of jeans, that have nicely placed rips and tears for a casual distressed look. unfortunately, these rips and tears are located right at the same spot that the boy yanks onto when he's trying to pull himself up so i will hold him. so the perfect rips and tears are now getting bigger and less perfect.

got home late from the football game tonight. and then got late dinners scrounged up, late bedtime, and a midnight shower/hair straightening for me. then a super late blog post written up. now it's 2:10AM, and i have to be up in 5 hours for the girls soccer games. peace out, people 🙂

now i remember why i havn't been wearing browns lately. because my brown flip flops broke. how can i wear jeans, a brown shirt, a mustard yellow cardigan, and black flip flops? definately a fashion don't.

finally bought a new purse tonight. actually, i used my kohl's cash, so i didn't pay anything for it. i'm NOT a purse person at all. i carry the exact same purse, every single day. and only switch twice a year. spring/summer and fall/winter.

every single time i go to the dentist, i'm told i have a "tiny little mouth", by numerous assistants. i'm not quite sure how i'm supposed to take that. is that good or bad? all i know is that xrays on a tiny little mouth are never fun. lol!

girls are all home. half day at school. it went from peaceful and quiet, to loud and crazy, just like that 🙂

picked up a few of those white storage cubes from michaels, for my scraproom. each one has seriously taken me a full hour to put together. i have two left. which means i can watch 3 shows on the DVR while i make them.

attended the high school band's concert tonight. they played all of the songs that they've been playing at the football games. i love listening to such a talented group of kids!

i'm purging and organizing pattern paper. if you don't hear from me in the next 2 hours, send help 😉

apparently, the box of spaghetti was open. i went to put it in the pot, and it all dumped on the floor. it was kind of like playing pick-up-sticks, that old childhood game. and yes, it all went in the pot. don't judge me. lol!

alyssa asked me the other night "is facebook your venting spot?". since i spend my day with kids and no adults, i guess i do turn to facebook when i have something i need to say. the boy and the girl just don't understand. lol!

you can tell i had a very hectic night, by the toys that are still scattered around the house. i NEVER leave toys out after the daycare kids leave. but they're all over my family room right now. and here's a real shocker …. i'm thinking about just leaving them there, for the littles that will be back at 7:30am 🙂

i'm watching jimmy kimmel, and am just now hearing about the new holiday that he's started. "national unfriend day", started november 17th. where we clean out "friends" from our social networks, that we actually don't know. kind of funny. i missed the holiday by 37 minutes, so i will not be unfriending anyone 😉

be warned. if you call me EVERY SINGLE DAY, trying to sell me stuff in spanish, and i tell you to STOP CALLING ME because i speak english, which is the american language … i cannot be held responsible for any screaming i do in your ear. don't tell me you don't "comprende" the word STOP, because i'm thinking it's a pretty univeral word. 

and now we're caught up on my random little life, as of tonight. i did leave out all the soccer stuff, since i have some posts planned about that. i don't often post on the weekend, but i have something going up on saturday. a layout and a sketch. so come back by and check it out 🙂
