Sunday morning we woke up at 5 and drove to Green Bay
Went to the bar and watched the game.
Packers won 31-14

Was tons of fun...had a $80 bar tab :O!!!! I know- but it was fun.
Went back to the hotel at supper with Bretts Cousin that lives in
Green Bay
Went to bed
Woke up in the AM got ready

hopefully I can find one!
Time go get ready and get to work!!!
Have an awesome Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!

scraps ahoy vol. 2.0

yupp... got a 2 pager out....only like the first page...which was really the second page until I got done...lol




















way brighter IRL too though...so that is sad...
and how do I say
"Crystal & I's"
that sounds horrible
I had
"Crystal & Mines"
but that was even more wrong
so it is
"Crystal & I"
its wrong...but better than the other wrongs!

okay I think its time for bed!!

scraps ahoy

My latest scrap page..... used HS ribbon and Chipboard letters from Penny!!!
WoOt!!
Love it!
Heidi.....this one could be for the balls to the wall..but im sure its too late....i'll look for something now....

going to scrap more now....
oh and..... do you have any HS chipboard letters that are not sticky?
I do...
so I pealed off the white backing that is supposed to protect from the sticky part or whatever...and now I can use those ALSO as letters. they look just like white letter stickers...but i have to add the adhesive myself...no big deal!!!
super super awesome!!

Who Do I LOVE?

PENNY!!
Thats right! This girl is amazing
I got my third and final SSS gift today..
OMG....
Just look for yourself...
amazing girl! thank you so much again!

so tonight Im going to stay home and play!!!

oh and I just saw a preview for Desperate Housewives this week..
can't wait!!!!!!!!! looks great!!!
need to eat something......
maybe i'll run to town quick...
naw its cold out...pizza will work :) hehe

Does good and bad always come together?

Within 45 mins I received two headlines in my life.
One very exciting and has a chance to change my life forever.
The other extremely saddening and heartbreaking and will change the life of many others.

The sad:
A young man that I went to private school with for many years and was best friends with my brother for a few years committed suicide last night. He had a severe case of ADHD and stopped taking his medication in the past few weeks and was also very deep into drugs.
I have not spoken to this boy in over five years, but it still breaks my heart as I knew him as a happy go lucky fifth grader. He was a senior in High school this year and ended his life way too quickly. I feel so sad that he felt he had no one to talk to. He did leave a note but all it basically said was that he "had has been messing up a lot lately and making mistakes and he didn't want to do that anymore" From my brothers understanding he did not have a very good relationship with his parents. This also makes me very sad. My parents are two of my best friends and I have no clue what I would do without them to talk to whenever I need it. I pray for his family and his friends. Hopefully this will knock some sense into some of his other friends that chose to also do drugs. I hope.

The good:
Brett got a phone call from FARGO today!!
They wanted to get some information to him to get his background check done! It was 20 guys and now down to 5 and they are going to employ 3 of them! This is so exciting but we are both trying to not get our hopes up. Very exciting news is all that I can say.

All in all though I am in a sad mood now. I feel so sad that this boy felt there were no other choices for him and no one to talk to.

Tonight I am going to look at the house my mom and her boyfriend are building together. Then supper with Brett and his parents and my mom and her boyfriend. That will be fun.

*this is my last post of the day I promise*

"Goin out tonight...

in my red high heels"

Im in love with this song... (the message does not "fit" my lifestyle ...leaving the b/f....but I love the song)

So as Im sitting here looking at my red fingernails...
i really really want a pair of sexy red high heels...
They have a pair at Target but they are
the peep toe ones and well that just does not work
in MN in the winter...
I might just have to buy them though... will check out some other
stores first..

Today is work till 6...

id prefer to call it my
"Enemy"
feel like keeling over with
pain from cramps.

looking forward to this weekend though
looked at tickets online for the game on
Sunday...but its going to be cold so I
would much rather just sit in the bar and
drink and watch the game...it will be warm
in there!

I want to go out saturday night for Halloween
but I don't think anyone is in town...so we will
just sit at moms and carve pumpkins and drink
there.

I upload my pics to walmart.com photo and they
re-did their site so thats cool... but they don't have
the 1 hour option (that I can see anyways) so I have to
wait for it to get shipped to the store so that sucks...they
are there now so I will stop and get them tonight after work
*can you tell im bored out of my gord...fall style there)
just sitting at work...alone... for four more hours...

gag me-
so super excited about the new job still.

AE had some cute ones on their web site so time to fork
out $40 a pair for those...ick.
and need to buy a pair of black shoes...thinking pumas cuz they
are cute... theres $80

DVR so that I can record TV shows that are on during the day when I am not home.
I was home from school early today and got to watch
Dr. Phil and now im watching Oprah.
I love watching Oprah- but can only watch it on Monday and some wednesdays.
This is why I need DVR.

Anyone have it?!
Brett has it at his house- and I love it there!!

I got NO mail all weekend...
im waiting for my rolodex cards from the swap
im waiting for some CD's from BMG....(which for some reason they billed me TWICE for....so hopefully I will get both so that I can return the one that they over charged me for- or else I will have to give them a call!!)

Heidi....be on the look out- im sending your goodies tomorrow!!
*if i dont use them myself tonight- hehe just kidding*

looks like it is going to rain here...

so im watching oprah-
Norway sounds like a good place to live
one year off for maternity leave
mom and dad each get 10 days off a year for sick children
children get free health care until age 7
sounds good to me!!
They eat healthy there....

So as I don't understand anything in football other than you have to get the ball through the things..

i am online surfing the web for anything that pops into my head!!
I found these AWESOME paintings....
this one is my favorite- so colorful and lots of stuff going...
major inspo. in these paintings!!
THIS is also some awesomeness!!

Too bad its in a different language!!

These flicker MOO cards? how adorable!!

Monopoly is like my favorite game ever and now the
latest and greatest is mine....before christmas!!
(It was on my wish list....)

So last night...
after reading three months worth of Glamour I decided to cut my naturally long and beautiful perfect nails off and have the short nails that are "all the rage" right now.....wanted to paint them red but I don't have red, so they are pink.
Its so strange typing with out my long nails.

Going to pee in a couple hours.....
Heidi...I am keeping your tip in mind...thank you :)
I also NEED to go shopping for you!!!
*and you NEED to get me a lil wish list chica!!*

and thats all I have to say about that...

Super excited!!!
Now to just tell Lynn I am done. It will be sad/hard but I have been there for 3 years and I am pretty sure she knows that my life goal was not to work there.

In other news.......I got my package from 2peas today!! Bought with my RAK from my wonderful Heidi!!!!!!! Love this girl! ahem....balls to the wall....ahem...

I also got a "coupon" if you will for $8.46 to the LSS in Winona.

more time on the road that we did
with family, and that sucks.

The School of Scrap wk 2

Here is my page for "The School of Scrap" contest week #2.

We were supposed to use THIS ALBUM COVER for Insop.

Also include the words GRATITUDE or THANKFUL
along with the defination and a quote with the word you pick.
So it was hard....but I really like it!!
Whatcha' think?

This was my submition for week one- which was
to use 2x as many fonts as you did photos
(ie. 1 photo = two fonts)

Now...

WTH is up with my messenger?!
It wouldn't sign me in-
just keeps saying
"Signing in"
grrr!!!!
I uninstalled it
and re-installed it-
so that sucks

On other note:
The School Of Scrap contest im in-
not sure If I want to be in it anymore..
The layout I did last week I thought was really good-
but others that I thought it was better than...
got a better grade than me....so that sucks-
and this week is really hard....gotta use a album cover
(that they chose) for inspo. and have either the word
Grateful or Thankful
along with their defination and a quote with the word....
thats way more of a busy page than I am used to.....
totally out of my box....
Im going to see what I can do here in a bit with it-
I know I am going to be using two sheets from the
BG Lily Kate line.

Got those at the LSS today along with some KI halloween pp
Some Insipirables (not sure off the top of my head who makes this)
thanksgiving paper
and some HS Lemonade stand chipboard letters-

right now im sitting on my foot and its fallen asleep.....
the tingles suck!

WTH is...

up with 2peas?! I have been trying to get on for the past 47 mins and its not working.
Im sitting here at work with NOTHING to do (except read the last two issues of Glamour) and I want to get my fix of 2peas... and I can't even do that!! grrrr!!

So instead I will speak of last night....
FUN FUN FUN
thats all there is to it!
Tons of fun!!
Narko was at the bar most of the night-
but Styna, Mandy and I had a effin' blast!
We went for a 2 AM 4-wheel ride- that was cold
the boys had fun playing with all of dads tools in the shop
it was super warm in there thank goodness!!

Jake- (my dog) had a great time too!!
He loved all the attention and there are now beer bottles
scattered all around my back yard...he loves playing with
them empty things!! He didn't even get up from his sleeping
spot this AM when I brought him food!!
Silly pup.

I still don't have pics downloaded from the camera yet...
