So, my mom calls me about 4pm today. I thought she was calling to dicuss our plans for tomorrows out of town shopping trip, but I was wrong. She was calling to tell me my childhood best friend had passed away this morning at our local hospital. I was floored...kinda. It took awhile for it to set in. I had to listen to James Blunt for awhile afterward, too. She was dignosised with cervical cancer 2 years ago. Everyone that it was gone. It came back about a month ago and took her very quickly. My mom thinks she gave up. Maybe....maybe not. Who really knows, right? I was actually angry at first only because this family is soooo backward(Old Fashion Hispanics).

I am a "YOU GO GIRL" scrapper at SCRAPLOVE. I can't believe I finally have 1,000 post. It seems like it was just yesterday that I found SCRAPLOVE. I am just so glad I am here. It seems like I am renewing my faith a little everyday in my scrapbooking. And I think it is all because of SCRAPLOVE and all the wonderful ladies and Steve.

do you all dream using scrapbook products?? I was dreaming last night, but I am not sure what I was dreaming about. I do that alot, but I clearly remember seeing titles in my dream made out of chipboard letters. I don't remember the words just the letters. It was the weirdest thing ever. I had scenic paper route letters and basic grey. What does this say about me? Does it mean I am obsessed with scrapbooking? Does this mean scrapbooking is consumeing my life? Do I need theraphy? I think I am scared.

So, I have been doing house work since I woke up this morning. I have been up since 6am and this is my first time I have had a break to actually sit down and relax. The only good thing about this morning is that I didn't have to make breakfast. That is dh's weekend job. He  always makes the best breakfast. Its something he loves doing for us on the weekend since he's gone before the kids even wake up for school. I guess I should feel lucky that he does this for us, huh? I'll have to think about that one only b/c he made breakfast, left the dishes for me to clean up which is ok, and then went back to bed.  Yeah, I guess I do feel lucky.

EXCITED about October. I have so many things going on. I can only hope that I can keep up with them. I have the DT contest, Bingo, Scrap Pack, and Extreme Exercise. That is just Scraplove stuff. I haven't even added daily life with my dh and 3 kids. Can I add homeschooling also to that list?? Finally we have a rhythm and it's going smoothly. I can not complain. And I want a part time job at Michael's craft store. Discount, BABY!!  Am I crazy?? That is a good question. Maybe that is question that will never be answered.  ;)

are buggin me right now. I have my flip flops on and they are chewing on the straps. Mind you I have the shoes on!! But that doesn't stop them. We have had these two since last friday and they still don't have names. That is sad, isn't it? So far we call them girl and boy. I don't know why my family and I have not named them, yet. They are cute, but they are the size of my shoes. I have to watch where I am stepping otherwise I will step on one. My daughter, Deegan, loves them so much that they run from her when they see her coming. I think she is going to traumatize them. Does anyone know a good puppy shrink?  We should've really thought about it before we decided to bring these to nut jobs home. They fight like kids. They sleep all day and want to party all night. The other night, I had to take them out to the back patio in the middle of the night because they would stop fighting. I know it's just playing, but DANG!!! They are super loud. The two little monkeys are going to wake up my 2 yr old monkey. Enough about me!

This is my very first blog and I don't know what to say. Yeah I do.....I want to tell Flamy and her family how much SCRAPLOVE means to me. I can't remember how I first found SL, but I am so glad I did. All the wonderful people I have met. I am just so glad I get to be apart of this. Thank you, Flamy, Keeton, and Halle.
