Hello friends, and yes, I am still among the living. Work is kicking my butt, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in my day…yeah, I think I’ve complained about this situation for quite some time now. See…somethings just don’t change!

Seriously. Work is going great. The 80 minute drive one way sucks, [mostly because there is so much I could be getting accomplished on my never ending to-do list ;P ], but I am not complaining. Alright. I did complain one day but that was because we were having a snow storm and my new car wasn’t liking the snow very much. And it wasn’t really a ‘complaint’, it was one of those “I am not going to live thru this and if something happens to me don’t forget about my life insurance policy that I may have forgotten to tell you about.”

The signs of Spring are beginning to arrive here on the East Coast, and like many, I am looking forward to another winter to come to an end.

I have begun my Spring cleaning, and the inside of my house looking like a tornado has touched down in the center of it, would just be added proof. I don’t have ‘time’ for this, but in an attempt to welcome Spring, and continue to organize, and downsize for the move, is a good thing.

Oliver had a morning of pampering on Friday with a groom and pedicure, and goodness he is just too dang cute! Wait until you see the picture I will be sharing with you on Wednesday. So, even if I absolutely bore you to death, be sure to stop in Wednesday morning.

Cleaning out my email inbox [it is not a pretty site friends!] and thought I’d Link/Idea SHare:

• I received an email from Christine offering her gorgeous aprons at cost. I am loving this pink and black one!! 
• I don’t want to be an enabler, but ohhhh, man! Loving Cricuts Straight from the Nest and I will definetly be adding this cartridge to my collection, soon.
• Nic Howard has done it yet again. Be forewarned ladies, when you see what she has done you may find yourself drooling on your keyboard!! [..did you say it? i love you. i don't ever want to live without you. you changed my life. did you say it? make a plan. set a goal. work toward it..but every now and then, look around. drink it in. 'cause this is it. it may all be gone tomorrow..]
• Need a smidget of mojo? These ‘Bad Girls’ got it going on!!
• Just found this sweet site, Creative Cookbooking.
• Ohhh!! Do I have time for my own- 42 squares?! Love, love, love! and I have an idea… 39 Squares

 [can ya tell I desperately want to play in my ARt STudio?]…

Well friends, I need to shower, iron my scrubs and find my way to work. Talk to you tomorrow sometime, and hey, if you’ve missed me, it’s okay to let me know in a comment ;P

Hello and Happy Saturday!

Here’s my card for todays Unscripted Sketches

This day has been flying by much too quickly, and I only have a couple more hours to work on a few things on that to-do list before I need to find myself in bed to take a nap before I head out to work the overnight shift tonight.

Gave Oliver a bath this morning. What a task that is. He was not very happy with me and kept snorting at me. That’s not counting the brushing him out part. PHew, I am exhausted!! And I think Oliver is grateful that his bath is completed for another week. Speaking of Oliver, here he is celebrating his 1st Birthday! [and yes, my guy needs an appointment with the groomer badly!]

Need to find myself taking a nap so I will be able to stay awake at work. Until tomorrow-

Oh, you know me. Just when I think I discovered ‘my favorite song in the entire world’, a new one comes along. I have to tell you that this song speaks to me. Seriously, how many times have you just wanted to say to someone “What do you want from me?” Well, Adam Lambert says it perfectly in Whataya Want From Me. I’m thinking this needs to be my ring tone on my cellphone.

 I came across Love and Logic Rock’s version, and I love it!!

Todays to-do list is a mile long. Ugh. I joined one too many swaps and am now feeling a bit over whelmed, with no time to waste. Here’s a few pics of my Twilight themed ATC’s in the making. Charm bracelets are in the making, but are not coming together as smoothly as the directions outlined. [insert huge sigh here]

Working on a layout for my Design Team responsibilities at Log Your Memories. I think I am ‘thinking’ about it too much, and just need to relax so it will all flow together.

Tomorrow and Thursday I will be attending an IV Certification course for RN’s. Fluid and Electrolyte balance…Isotonic, Hypotonic, Hypertonic, Osmosis…ugh. Just the thought is awakening my anxiety.

Well friends, that’s it for this beautiful sunshiney Tuesday.

Not sure how February got here so quickly, but hello, and fingers crossed that Mr. Groundhog doesn’t see his shadow tomorrow–or I am going to go search for him and offer up a nice pot of groundhog stew.

I’ve been busy, organizing, and creating a sweet little mini album…oh and watching one movie after another on netflix. Here’s a quick peek at the mini album…

• -Log Your Memory is hosting a Sweet Talk Journaling Challenge for the month of February. I know what you’re thinking…I do not have the time to think let alone scrapbook. Is that what you were thinking? Grab a notebook and journal your responses to each challenge, maybe sketch out an idea for a layout design, have particular photos in mind? jot them down and where they are located [ie: on your computer, in a box, etc].
• -Ohhhhh….I wish I had the extra money to join Brook Noel’s online class: Overcoming Procrastination. I’m thinking if I could find out the reason why I procrastinate, and the type of procrastinator that I am, could totally benefit my life, which in return would lower my stress level.
• -The Rubber Punkin has an adorable Valentine Freebie to download.
• -One World-One Heart 2010 Magic Carpet Ride, and I’m ticket holder #14, with 437 comments at this moment. Please help me meet my personal goal of 500 comments.

Another movie is waiting for my attention, so until tomorrow…here’s to a beautiful month filled with love and accomplishments, and everything good for each of us!
