New hair-do and Kitty!!

This is the new hair. I got black lo-lights through out and the bottom in the back is all black black with a red booster to warm it up a little bit. My layers are SHORT SHORT!! I am finally figuring out how to do it quickly so it looks good!!
This is my new kitty!! Her name is Kiah. She is so full of personality. (That is her halloween costume behind her- she is not a fan of wearing it) her and the dog don't get along very well but eventually i think they will warm up to each other- hopefully anyways!!

Well im off for the weekend to celebrate Oktoberfest!!! Shall be a great time!!!

scrappin' again

yeah so i started scrapping again this am. was up at six. ish. i hate when I can't sleep.

so here they are.
two challenges, one mini- and one for fun.






I am calling today to make an appointment to meet a new kitten.
hopefully I will be getting one of these two:

Keesa
Nemo

I am hoping for Keesa. She is too cute.
wish me luck!

heartbroken.

my wonderful cat zoie is being put to sleep in less than an hour.
we believe she had a stroke over last weekend and has gone blind in both eyes.
I can't stand to see her like this so its our only option.
I am so heart broken right now. I can't stop crying, i am a mess.
This is one of the hardest things I have even gone through in my life.
Im going to miss you, and you will always be my meow.

the day after...

my 22nd birthday!
Nothing too exciting for the b-day. just a lot of drama (as usual in my life- anyone has a the pass code to erase that from a life...let me know I need it badly)
Went out for supper with the boyfriend, mom, and g-ma. had a good time. rented "Wild Hogs" as the boy hasn't seen it. I fell asleep. yeah.

only to wake up at 3 am to my cat wondering aimlessly around the house not hardly being able to stand. so in 5 mins I am leaving to take her to the vet. they said she may have had a stroke.
thanks world. happy birthday to you too. so I am hoping she is just i don't know what i am hoping. wish me luck.

countdown...

to my birthday. yupp. so tomorrow starts my birthday weekend. I am so lucky that it almost always over the holiday weekend and i get to extend it forever!! haha

and I make a big deal out of my b -day. my family goes camping the entire weekend so its my weekend and everyone has known that since pretty much day one!! I can't wait
I usually know what i want/am getting but this year i have no clue on either. well sorta.
i am hopefully getting a cute new bud light sweatshirt and a clock/dock for my i pod.
this way i can listen to my tunes as i am scrapping since everything is in my new room now and its so much nicer up there!! so it will be nice.

*side note im eating a sandwich and the cheese slice is way too thick...making it sorta nasty like to eat*

my photos to share this week.

my silly puppy.

the puppy and i sleeping (thanks mom)

matching eyes...crazy.

standing in the rain...

so as if MN hasn't had enough going ons-
we got some really bad rain an hour or so from here over the weekend and houses are washed away, roads are washed away and people are dead/missing. This is so sad. One of my best friends (amanda) grandparents house is gone. the pictures are so amazing to see and so sad. I couldn't imagine losing everything to something that keeps you alive. pray for these people.
on a good note- amanda and i are getting out in about 2 months and going to the Rascal Flatts/Jason Aldean concert with amanda and brooke. it shall be a great time!!


yeah finally I have scrapped and am going to show!!











horrible pics but I have no ambition to do anything good right now. ha


and another cute pic of my two fav things right now :)

Nick and Tango. :)
the only thing that gets better is delish supper, drinks and time with my best friend for the next 2 days!!

i am scrapping again and I love it.
Im strictly doing 6x12 pages and they are so much fun.
a lot like 8.5x11 but different and fun.
I bought a nice 12x12 album and putting two 6x12 pages
in each page. looks pretty good.

I just need to say that.
now im off to work till six am! ahh!

everyone needs a vacay!

and I just got back from mine!!

went with the boyfriend and his family to their cabin for five days.
had a total blast.
somehow my camera was MIA most of the weekend and we didn't get too many pics but we will be back there in 3 weeks so I'll be sure to make up for it!!!

I did go fishing for the first time in my life over the weekend though.
actually ended up liking it a lot and caught the most fish! (beginners luck)
but it was fun.

some of our friends came up for a couple days too. took the RV into town and went to the casino...then a super late night beer run...the mixed drinks at the bar were tasting pretty darn good so we ended up staying there and not getting back to the cabin till around 4ish.

I came home last night to a new puppy!!!!!!
Meet Tango. he is so much fun and simply adorable.
Can't wait to start scrapping him!
I gave him the stuffed miss. piggy I won at the bar saturday night.
she didn't have a very long life.

its about that time i guess....

I am Alive!!

I have fallen off of the blog & scrap world for the last four months or so and its driving me crazy!!

My life has been a fast moving train for the past few months and I love it!!
I moved, got myself an amazing new boyfriend, promotion at work, found out who my real friends are, and its summer so im getting a great tan!!

I've just been so busy I don't know where to start so im not even going to!!

4th of july was amazingly fun. its my favorite holiday and even though we had tons of plans and everyone backed out we still ended up having fun!

Nick and I Fireworks!My new friend, Byron. He is a HUGE dog!

Today I am moving all my scrap stuff to my new house and getting that organized and i am so excited!! I have a million pictures to scrap- I don't even know where to start!! Hopefully I can remember how!!

So for now thats all I have!! Have a great day everyone!!

about 9 inches above the bottom of the door.
and about 5 inches from the ground to there.
and we shoveled thursday morn.
insane.

so today im snowed in (not really dad plowed a trail for me...but I didn't want to go to work)
haha.

this is what I did last night.

holy buckets (of snow)

so the world prolly knows that there was a huge snow storm in the minnesota/iowa/chicago/wisconsin area. Well huge is a small word for it!!
If i was at home a. i would have pics to show because we only got like two inches there b. i could show you the pics i took of the 12 inches of snow we got in Winona over the night and then again the 8 in. we are supposed to get on top of that tonight!!

Its crazy. You can't really see out the windows downstairs because the window wells are full of snow. AMazed I am. Can't wait to show the pics. Now I want to play in the snow but its super super cold out and major wind is blowing.

So that is what I leave you with. Have a great weekend!

bitchology

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs,

they call me a bitch.

When I stand up for those I love,

they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do

things my own way, they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in

my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It

means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and

speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for

myself instead of being everyone's maid.

It means I have the courage and strength to

allow myself to be who I truly am ! and won't

become anyone else's idea of what

they think I "should" be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.

I want what I want and there is

nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to defuse my inner flame,

try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold

within me. You won't succeed. And if

that makes me a bitch, so be it.

I embrace the title and am proud to bear it !!!!
