Well Thanksgiving is over.  We had dinner here and then yesterday we went to my sister's.  We had a good time.  I played Halo 2  with the kids and had a blast!  We are all fat and happy today.  Slept in late , well not real late.  Had to let the dogs out.  Anyway, I'm still so depressed that I haven't seen Goblet of Fire yet!  I'm hoping this weekend...but it doesn't look like it.  So we will shoot for the sometime this week.
I've been very busy making stationery and tags lately...LOL  I love it.  I've got such great muse lately.  I don't know why I've been blessed with her but I bottled it right up...LOL  But anyway, I uploaded some more tags in my album.  The stationery is for Incredimail so if you have the program and want some just give me a holler.  I've got to make Karen, my sister, another tag.  She is one of my worst customers....LOL  She is changing the tag again!  This makes the third time.  But that's ok, I want her happy...hee hee

 

I've been working like crazy and family is really getting under my skin.  We won't go into that...LOL  I didn't go to the Harry Potter movie yet.  And I have to go food shopping tonight.....GRRRRR
Anyway, Cassie's play went very very good!  It was great the kids did a terrific job acting.  I'm trying to get ready for Thanksgiving.  I have everything already, it's just getting in the mood.  Right after though I'm starting to decorate for the Christmas season.  I need some cheering up.  I need to get some addresses for my cards still.  I just haven't been able to get a hold of anyone. 
I've been very creative lately.  I put up alot of new tags in my album recently.  And I've been making stationery for Incredimail too.  I just got in the mood and haven't stopped yet....LOL 

I can't believe this whole Terrel Owens saga!  I mean come on you big headed asshole!!  Yes you are good but you are an asshole.  Not everything has to be about T.O  Hey big block...it's about the Eagels.  They are a team and you aren't.  ARGGGHHH!  Now he is having a press conference today at 3.  He aggervates me. 
Ok, on to good things.  Charlie and The Chocolate Factory comes out on the DVD today.  I'm going to get it.  And Harry Potter Goblet of Fire movie is coming out in 9 days 11 hours 42 minutes!!!  Can not wait!  I'm very very excited!  The clips I've seen, look sooo awesome.  It is going to be a great movie.
Well I need to go, Cassie is on the phone with her wishy washy boyfriend.  I mean he is soo the opposite of what Cassie likes.  He has never had fun in his life until he met Cass.  I'm not too sure if he'll last in this family.  Whatever. 


Oompa-Loompas are crazy for Coco-Beans

Well I'm sick, I've got the runny nose and the cough...yuck!  But on a good side, I have been creative lately.  I've put 3 new tags in my album.  You have got to look at them!  They are so cool.  Anyway...nothing much to talk about.  OH OH, the Harry Potter movie, Goblet of Fire is coming out in 11 days.  I can't wait!  I'm re reading the book now.  I think this week I'm going to take the kids to see Chicken Little because they are off of school all week.  Cassie wants to see Saw 2 with her friends but they aren't 17 and it's a R rated movie.  WTF.  So now I've got to buy their tickets and get them in.  Do I need anymore aggervation in my life?  I say not.  Today was the only day the kids had school this week.  And Cassie hasn't come home yet...it's 6pm, she had drama crew right afterschool but then she had drama practice too after crew.  So she will be at the school til about 9:30.  WOW  what a long day.  Good thing they don't have school tomorrow.  And I have to go food shopping if these stupid construction workers would let me back in my driveway.  I'm still parking on the next block over because they have the whole street in front of my driveway dug up and pouring concrete.  It's a pain in the ass.  Ok, I've got to get something to eat so I will get going now.  Later!

...you're the onnnneeee.  You make bath time lots of fuuuuunnnnnn.

Yup it's official!  I've lost it.  There's a big bulldozer in my driveway digging it up....hee hee.  Luckily they told me to move my car.  So now I'm going to shower..*sniff sniff* would be nice...and walk to the car and do some food shopping.  Aaaaaand pay the water...not that they are going to be able to get to the water main with all the big big trucks and the huge trench in front of the house...tee hee.  Oh and gas, got to get gas.  I've been bad and ran it to the last itty red line....opps!  So I guess I've got to get some if I don't want to walk.  Oh and I'm off today....yippeee!  Not by choice, I just have alot of things to do.  Cleaned this morning...just a thing that has to be done once in awhile here!  LOL  But anyways, I've bubbly today so I better get going before the energy flies away.  Got to learn how to bottle energy.....think think....stumped!  LMAO

RUBBER DUCKIE I'M AWFULLY FOND OF YOOOOOOU!

Well I updated both my photo albums...link on the left of the blog....   Anyway, I made two tags...I love them both!  I've been getting such great creative muse lately!  It just hits me when I sit down, POW!  in the side of the head.  I've been doing some great stuff.  I'm on a roll people... *doing the happy dance* 
Anyway, take a peek and let me know what you think.  Oh and there are halloween pics also in my photo album.  Had a great time that night!  We were awesome!  Well I've got to watch That 70s Show, then picking Cassie up from drama.  Later~

I have a program that I got when I bought the tablet for my computer so we can draw more.  Anyway, it is the Corel Draw essential 2.  I never really used it until yesterday!  I made this.  What do you think?  It is actually a picture I took at the beach this summer and I oil painted it on the program.  It really looks different from the picture but I really like the result.  Let me know what you all think please.  Hugs~

 

Listening to:  Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree - Of All the Gin Joints In All of the World

You only hold me up like this
Cause you don't know who I really am
I used to waste my time on
Waste my time on
Waste my time dreaming of being alive (now I only waste it dreaming of you)

 

I'm being published....LOL  Yes I'm still on the high of yesterday.  And it's a good thing too.
Well folks like I said yesterday, everything has to be balanced.  Too many good things happened yesterday.  I was awoken last night by BANG, BANG, CLANK, CLATTER, BANG, GURGLE.  My heater decided to die around 4am.  I called our heater guy we have on contract and he called back this morning at 7.  Told me he was really booked and couldn't get here until Friday.  Hmmm, cosmos.  Good thing it isn't really cold now.  And who can blame this guy for rushing out here.  I paid a contract for him to do and he is getting paid for the other jobs double the amount I paid him.  Ok I'll let it go this time. 
Meanwhile I'm here working again.  Not bad, I'm getting alot of hours, 42 a week.  Nice work!  Hopefully it brings good money. 

Well this morning I was starting to think that a black cloud was stationed over my head.  But then things just started getting better and better.
I've been having problems with my phone lines.  Verizon said it was water in the lines.  We I find out it was because one of the techs tore the wires off of the one line and the bare wires were touching my second line.  So this morning I did get my main phone back on....WOOOO HOOOO  and the static is out of the second line and I'm not being kicked offline because of it.  ALRIGHT!  So things were looking alittle better.  I was able to work 2 of my 4 hour shift this morning with no problems. 
Ok so I'm feeling a little better, things are looking a little brighter.  Well then I got the mail.  Now this is a chore in my house.  Daily mail means daily bills and bad news.  There's a stack of mail today so I sigh and just stroll back inside.  I go back to work while I'm scanning through the mail.  Advertisment, advertisment, bill, bill, dumb shit, letter from the New Jersey member of congress, and then there it was.....something from Poetry.com.  Now awhile ago I wrote a poem...An Ode To My Couch.  I posted it here way back when.  Anyway, I submitted it in a poetry contest, no big deal and really forgot about it.  I received a letter today telling me I was selected to be in the semi finalists and that they wanted to publish my poem in a book, Eternal Potraits!!!!  OH MY GOD!  I couldn't believe it.  Ok, besides that fact that I could have a chance of winning some money for the poem but that my little poem is going to be in a book???  It will be published by the winter of 2006.  I'm just so excited! 
So now there has to be something bad lurking around the corner because there has been too many good things that happened today.  Everything has to be balanced.  That's the story of my life, roller coasters!  Ups and Downs.  Oh well might as well love it while I'm up.
