Pure Exhaustion

What a blast! Had a great time and I finished my album at CKU-A. Danelle Johnson is an amazing teacher but more importantly she has a heart of gold. The class I took was called Personal Treasury A- Z.Danielle, Debra and Molli - wow! You ladies are the best! I had a great time - Thanks for the experience!
I will post pictures later of some of the pages from my album.

CKU, Insurance and Allergy Shots

Had to change my insurance so that I can register my new car. Always a pain - checked also online www.dmvnv.com registration will be approximately $365. Good news my insurance may go lower.

Allergy shots - ugh! One in each arm and now I have to go back every week. The worst part is that they make me sleepy and I do not have time to sleep - I need to pack my supplies for this week.

Going to CKU - San Jose!!! Do you know the way...

Now that song will be stuck in my head for the next two days.

I am getting ready, this morning I finished my pictures and A-Z words

A-Apple Hill, a place we visited in November
B-Brother, Nolan
C-Castle Convicts, have this great picture of Nolan and Matt at legoland
D-Dog named Kiara
E-Education - graduation, scholarships
F-Fishing, blue ribbon at the young age of three
G-Good Friends, Matt, Jordan and Shannon on the way to prom
H-Hands, playing on his psp
I-Innocent, so we think
J-Journey, he is just beginning
K-kindergarten, they are so sweet at this age
L-Little League, from his first baseball team to the last
M-Music, ipod, cds, verizon v-cast
N-No fear, hat, shirt - a direct reflection
O-Original-he is definitely like no other
P-PSP, boys never out-grow video games
Q-Quad, ATV, oops
R-Rangers, Texas Rangers, baseball Team
S-San Antonio Spurs, Life is a game, basketball is serious
T-Tennis, captain play hard
U-USA, 4th of July Celebration
V-Vans, shoes

Y-You
Z-Zodiac - Taurus - and yes he is bull-headed.

So my homework is done. I have a few supplies to pick up. What to wear? What's the weather like? Warm or Hot?

I am packing my supplies very light this time. Two years ago, I was a first timer and brought way too much stuff and had no time to use any of it. I need to buy a brayer, I will never use it again, a waste of money, 1/4 hole punch- Oh No! I just read I need to find more pics for the "Days of my Life" class - Agh, I thought I was better prepared.

Ok - off to the scrapbook store.

Party Crashers

A time to celebrate Matthew's graduation fron Canyon Springs High School. His ceramony was held at the Orleans. History in the making - as his class was the very first to graduate from this school that opened only two years ago. I am so proud of him. We had family and friends over to celebrate - food, drinks, swimming, talking, laughing and a few thousand Africanized Killer Bees decided to join us. When you have kids swimming in the pool and a very loud group in the backyard and thousands of bees hanging out in our front tree can be very stressful. After many, many phone calls my husband finally got a hold of someone to come out last night. This what is left over after the bee-man came to our rescue. A great big thanks goes to the bee-man for coming out when no one else would. All of those bee emergency numbers are so misleading. So if you need a bee-man call Pro-Tech 898-7677. A big thanks also to family and friends that celebrated and shared in Matt's very special day.

It has ought to be a good when...

Your horoscope reads:

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 20)
You're likely to be looking and feeling beautiful and sexy today, and you're also likely to be "feeling your oats," as today you are particularly aware of your own inner power. If you've been thinking about asking for a raise, do it today. If you've been hoping for a romantic getaway, this is the day to plan it. Whatever you start today is likely to be successful, dear Sagittarius - more because of your own determination than anything else.

I did not ask for a raise, but my hubby did bring me home a present. Anyone who know me knows one of my favorite things are flip-flops. He bought me a flip-flop organizer and flip-flop earings & necklace. Presents are always a wonderful thing to come home to.

While at a crop this weekend the follow pages were accomplished:

This one I used Danielle's new cutting system by CM - I loved so much I had to buy one myself.






This last one, I entered into a contest and placed 3rd.

Paranoid in my new car

Paranoid - para·noid Pronunciation: 'par-&-"noidVariant(s): also para·noi·dal /"par-&-'noi-d&l/Function: adjective1 : characterized by or resembling paranoia2 : characterized by suspiciousness, persecutory trends, or megalomania3 : extremely fearful- paranoid noun

I fear they are all out to get me - Today I almost got rear-ended. The guy with the beard was mad at me. Why?! He was not paying attention. On Saturday, driving to Fiesta Henderson with my best bud Molli, and a car with two seniors, just about side-swiped us. On Molli's side - sorry about that. New Car Paranoia! Just because I have a new car does not give you crazy drivers the right to mess with me.

Gotta love the new car smell. Leather seats and lots of chrome. A very sporty, silver, Ford Fusion - yes I got the upgrade with a sports package. Very fun to drive. I have not owned a car in over 9 years. Dodge Ram 1500, Ford Explorer Sport Track. We traded in the Dodge my husband took my Red Explorer, and I got the new car.
