So this is what happens...

While Britain in is in class...apparently this is the reason he has so much homework, actually this is where he's supposed to be writing down his homework..love the "this week in history" on the page...I suppose I should be a little bothered, mad even, but they are just so funny...apparently his classmates are "ordering" comics of themselves...and he's a straight A student so I guess you pick your battles right? and he is pretty creative!

here he is with Landon making fun of some crazy people on American Idol, ok now normally I don't condone "making fun" of anyone- but really some of these people on AI you know are just trying to get on TV and they let them on totally for the entertainment value....

I had time today....I love time

so I got mostly caught up on Creative Prompts...these have so inspired me over the past several months...after doing them for so long I can look at almost any ad, photo anything and see a "sketch" in my head...

here's #23

here's #24

sketch #25

yes, I actually did a layout about when we all had the flu....ahhh the memories :-)

and here is my card for the week for the Deck of Me Challenge-this weeks prompt was what would you go back and tell your younger self...

and before you say "oh no you didn't!"

let me say yes I did! I busted out the

prom picture...LOL
This is the back

that's it...

today I'm grateful for:

1. scrappy time

2. hot chili for dinner on a cold day

3. The kids have been hanging out with me drawing while I type this

4. tomorrow is the last day of LOAD and while I've enjoyed it so much I'm kind of comforted that it's almost over

5.love

awwwww thanks!

I don't know how long this is going to work because we seem to be in the middle of a blizzard here and our power keeps flickering....

I've been so crazy busy with my trip and everything that I didn't get to post this until now... from my friend Dianna ...I like this award because for starters it the the first one anyone ever gave me..."YOU LIKE ME YOU REALLY LIKE ME!!" and when I gave it to Dianna she gave it back....I'm all about spreading the love....The award is for spreading love, support, and blogginess to those people and blogs that make you happy and in turn, make others want to spread some of that good stuff around too*!* You are to then go to leave them a comment letting them know that you left them a little tid bit on your blog. When you send it out~you could get it back more than once! (if you're just that awesome)...

and then Maria, threw me some bloggy love as well with this...

The rules:By accepting this Excellent Blog Award, you have to award it to 10 more people whose blogs you find Excellent Award worthy. You can give it to as many people as you want-even those that have received it already, but please award at least 10 people.

so I have some friends I'd like to share both of these with...

Melissa

RobinDiane

Leslie (because she seemed to miss it the first time)

Stephanie (the crockpot Lady...because there is soooo much to love about her)

Michele (wait until you see this woman's cardtastic talents)

Dianna (because love spreading goes both ways)

Christi (of course)

Kylie

Carolyn (I think she's so cool)

and my sister in spirit Stephanie who left me to live on an island in Japan and hardly ever blogs but I really really miss you!!!.

It's so nice to be able to do this, because work was really, well, crappy today...

I did weigh myself expecting that I had probably gained every last of the 6 pounds I lost since 1 Jan after the weekend but...I didn't!! I've kind of maintained but I've lost 1 more...so I am now at 131...which isn't too terrible...only 11 more to go!!

let's play a little game that Lain started the other day called "tag! what are you doing right now?"

right now Cocoa my very small but thinks she's a total badass puppy is standing at the door growling at...the weather... and she really is all fired up about it

right now American Idol is on while I sit here talking to you drinking hot tea with just a little bit of organic skim milk....and real sugar...shhhhh...and if you haven't tried organic milk by the way, the taste is incredible it's worth the extra dollar and I'm not really a milk person...plus it lasts like forever...go figure that when the take out all the additives, perservatives, hormones, etc, etc it actually stays fresh longer....

right now my boys are upstairs playing xbox live waiting for Rob to finish watching the news so we can play Buzz (for PS2) this is a really fun family game by the way...

What R U doing right now???

2 more days of the LOAD! Here's Todays!

and just now I'm realizing I didn't really give it a title...hmmm

Grateful for:

1. I got to take an hour nap after I picked up the kids today, I have a sore throat and I didn't sleep last night....I really love naps...

2. hot tea

3. frosted mini wheats

4. wonderful smelling candles

5. the two really sweet awards I recieved...thanks guys!!

Thanks for stopping by!
