Scrap Room Clean UP

Scrap Crap organization:
From my list yesterday I still have the remaining items.
Finish DMIL's Squish book for mail tomorrow.
Make two altered clipboards,
one to show at Jammie Crop
One for my DM
Get items packed into my travel bag for Scrap book crop.
Plan clothes for five days and get them set aside.
Get my RAK together and mail to one of the local girls.(It's going to be heavy since I'm getting rid of my cardstock and switching to textured bazzill etc.)
If I can get this tied up my room will look neat and tidy and I can have this off my mind so that I can enjoy Mother's Day and the weekend. I'm still finishing up loose ends for SJ's and the Chi trip.

I can't wait to see my friends IRL as I don't have many around me since we moved. I'll be working on that when I get home. I've made contact with some gals in the county that scrap and then there's the LSS as well but I end up spending money when I go there!

Tuesday's To Do List

My writing juices are dried up! I have had some pretty good ideas for LO's running through my brain. I haven't done much around here today as it's a down day for me. Guess I'm turning into a afternoon/night girl which totally does not jive with my DH who is forced to be an ALL DAY MAN.

DS found me an empty, new, quart size paint can that I have to go and get to make an altered project for Scrap Jammies. I worked at least 8 hours yesterday typing forms and brain storming! I sure do hope that we're on the down swing of the prep stuff and that I can finish my list:

Get a shower, get dressed, make the bed!
Clean the kitchen totally and put the spaghetti sauce in the crock pot to simmer.
Go to Lowe's and get the can.
Finish typing documents for SJ's
Finish DMIL's Squish book for mail tomorrow.
Make two altered clipboards, one to show at Jammie Crop
One for my DM
Get items packed into my travel bag for Scrap book crop.
Plan clothes for five days and get them set aside.
Get my RAK together and mail to one of the local girls.
(It's going to be heavy since I'm getting rid of my cardstock and switching to textured bazzill etc.)
Well let's see if I finish it all, NOT, finish some, add more, finish nothing!
This time next week I'll be boarding the plane!

NSD/Nurses Day

National Scrapbook Day and Nurses Day

Wow, all rolled into one! I really could care less about it being nurses day except to wish and give honor to the nurses working so hard. We have to stick together because that "free coffee mug" that General Hospital gives us just doesn't fit my hand right anyway!

There are online crops galore around cyber world. I am hanging out at Scrappers Galore since they're the most fun. Scrap Jammies Crop in two weeks is their celebration or NSD. I stayed up late last night chatting with "A" and we had a blast. Both of our DH's were gone. Her's went fishing and mine was at the bar playing pool.

I've got work to do to get ready for Jammie Crop! I need to entertain DH to keep the fire stoked. I need to straighten up my scrap crap so that I can work on some pages. I'm making a squish book for MIL for Mother's Day which is yikes, a week from tomorrow!

Molly Brown

Man, I can't believe I added Molly's link successfully, maybe there's hope for me yet! I've been on this computer now for over and hour and a half! Haven't even finished checking my favorite MB's! Maybe there's hope for this wannabe!

Beginnings!

Well, I'm happy to see that Molly found me! It's not as if I didn't just shove the addy in her face, Hee Hee!

Today my daughter is going to shadow her instructor at big city hospital where she is in nursing school. DD is so excited and I hope and pray she retains her enthusiasm for a lifetime. She doesn't like the part of being to work at 7A for the day shift but the instructor had her come in at 8A. I suppose that was so that the instructor could get report and get a grip before having a really green student hanging onto her all day. The school is between semesters right now and this instructor is doing this out of the goodness of her heart as this is her second job. I guess all nurses don't eat their young! Hurray for times change even if it's slowly.

I'm going to Chicago in another week or so to meet up with some girlfriends, play and scrap. I can't wait!

Now that I'm on this blog thing I'm going to have to learn the html stuff and a lot of other techno stuff. There just aren't enough hours in the day! If my blog remains novice, so be it, it's readable!

I have to make myself clean the house today. For a SAHW I just hate housework. I do like the satisfaction from the result, it's the getting started that just about kills me. At least when you're in the OR and get your assignment you have no choice but to move it huney! Watch out or Dr. So and So will be rollin' that patient into the OR before you can even check the chart. What happened to the good old days when the circulator was in charge of the room? Now it seems like a free for all!

Oh man, I feel self motivation kickin' in just thinking of the thought of having to go back to work! More later........

Can I Blog?

Seems like I signed up for this quite a while ago but Unsinkable MB my favorite blogger right now has inspired me to get moving with this. I spend so much time on message boards this is probably more appropriate!

I'm sure I can keep up with it but the question is will I?

I hope Molly finds me and I hope that I can encourage her!
