Last Day of February 2010

Can you believe that 2 months of the New Year are already over and gone! When Looking at my accomplishments for the past two months, I have lost zero pounds! UGH I have been so tired that I have been sleeping anywhere from 10 to 13 hours a day - I honestly don't know why, just know that I have been exhausted! The hospital I work for is opening a clinic here in my hometown and I am so praying to get a job there - 8 to 5 would be so perfect for myself and my family; we need this desperately! I am starting classes again, Medical Terminology (which I have had before and with being in the health field for the past 5 years I am very comfortable taking), and Anatomy (which I am not so comfortable with - I do know that this class will be a struggle for me, but I am wanting to take this class anyway.) Next year, I am hoping to take the Medical Billing class - I very much enjoy the medical field, so know that these will be bonus classes for me.

Cody has been taking Driver Education classes for the past month and a half, and has another month to go. John and I are confident with his driving skills as we have been working with him the past couple of years - knowing how well he has been doing, and his desire for a vehicle and knowing that he is wanting to hold down a full-time job this summer we purchased him a pick up truck yesterday - a 1995 American Red Ford XLT - 151,000 miles and in very good condition and shape . . . he is incredibly excited! He can't drive it for awhile, has to finish his class first, and then do his driving time with mom and dad before he can legally drive. He also has to sign a contract with us to pay for his vehicle and to keep his grades at B's and above. Nothing like a little incentive to keep a child interested in what he should be doing. . . LOL!

I still haven't been crafting, can't remember the last time I made a card . . . however, I have to make one tomorrow as I signed up for a February mingle and have to get my card in the mail to my partner . . . I am, as usual, late.

Beyond that, all is going well. Keep in touch if anyone is actually reading this.

Hi there

Hopefully this will not be my only blog post for February, I could have sworn that I posted on the first of this month, but I guess not.

Things are about the same - I spend far too much time on the computer and not enough time doing anything else.



I am loving my Scott Kelby Digital Photography books though! Not any better at the photography, but certainly hope to be soon. John and I drove to Lewiston today and looked at wood flooring and Travertine tile. I keep thinking that I want the hard wood floors and then I think I want tile - any of you willing to give me any advice? I was supposed to go to Boise today for a day trip, but my weekends off with my family are so rare that I convinced John to spend the day with me (Cody went snowboarding with his friends, is now at the basketball tournament (which we are listening to on the radio) and we won (WOO HOO) and then he is off to the school dance. This boy is so different than John and I that it is totally funny and hard to adjust to sometimes. How can 2 loners and homebodies turn out such social butterflies!



Tuesday I will drive to Boise with my friend Phyllis and hit Hobby Lobby, I need picture frames (desperately) some lamps and some surprise party goodies, I still don't have the menu down but will by the time Friday gets here.



I still haven't been crafting as much as I would like, mainly because I spend so much time on the computer . . . I have got to learn to draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggggggg myself away from it - it is a horribly addictive machine for me!



Just had 100 some prints developed through ArtsCow and then wasted another 2 1/2 hours tonight downloading 237 more, however, it kept popping duplicates in there which really peeved me, so I just got frustrated and cleared my cart - damn it what a waste of 2 1/2 hours! Thinking I should put the computer up and go watch a movie with the hubby, we're never home alone and me thinks we should be taking advantage of it! Then perhaps I'll head back in here (my craft room) and get a page or two done - Plus I have 3 cards I MUST get finished! Actually more than that I still haven't reciprocated for the Christmas cards I received, and I know I must! What is wrong with my mojo, have I completely lost it! PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT!



Lovin you all!
