no time for anything

I've been so busy, but yet I feel like I have done nothing and don't have time for anything either! I think it's because I spend my days taking care of my mom and in between doing that I have my statistics class (dropped all the others this semester) and after class I go back to my mom's house and take care of her as I try to work on my homework. It's okay though, I would drop my entire life for my mom without hesitation. She's such a special woman and I really would do anything for her!

My house has been abandoned! I'm rarely here anymore and it desperately needs to be cleaned...big time! I miss my friends too! (oh yeah, and adam of course) I've been either to down to really hang out with them or i'm with my mom. Tonight I was looking forward to seeing a bunch of them at a close friends bachelorette party and i got SICK!!! so now i really have nothing to do.... can't get too close to my mom right now, we don't want her getting sick...can't hang out with the girls b/c my nose won't stop running and my head feels like it's going to explode! SO....I scrapbooked

poor adam, i haven't been spending any time with him lately. by the time he got home tonight I had already started scrapbooking and wasn't about to stop. It's okay b/c he's been watching football all night and my layouts for the design team are done...so, despite being sick, it turned out to be a productive night after all.

something interesting...

i saw this on someone's blog and just thought it was so interesting.

Thank You

thank you to all those who left such thoughtful comments on my last post...it really means a lot to me! my mom is at home but not out of the woods yet, she has a 5o-50 chance to recover from what happened last week...please continue to keep her in your prayers and thank you again!

surprisingly, i suddenly felt like scrapping something last night...something quick (yeah staci, i really mean quick this time : ) staci scrapped with me twice on my week off and she witnessed my slowness when it comes to scrapping and i really mean SLOW!) anyway, this took no time at all...here's a confession....

Hopefully all goes well and i'll get in the grove to scrap again and finish the book of my mom. right now my heart can't bare to look at that unfinished project. it's alright though. i'm picking up my design team kit in the next couple days and i'll be working on that. hopefully i'll post a layout soon.

update

i haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but i wish i would. my mom, my heart and my soul, has been very sick. she's in the ICU and needs all the prayers she can get. please keep her in your prayers for a safe and speedy recovery. please.

Been Bored.

I've been beyond lazy today...i even skipped my classes! I just couldn't get up and go to class at 8 am today...especially when my class is followed by a 4 1/2 hour gap (every monday, wednesday, and friday and it sucks!!) I just can't wait to be done with it already...it's been WAY too long...

So, not much happened this weekend (surprise, surprise) ...but Adam and I played tennis on saturday. Let me just say that I am a complete retard when it comes to sports! I swear I was moving like an idiot that I was actually laughing at my idiot self! Poor Adam spent his time on the tennis court running after my tennis balls. Lets just say he got an awesome workout!

I made a couple confessions too...

and I'm not kidding about wanting to be Madonna...I LOVE HER! Her shows are amazing and so is she...so artistic! And guys, don't listen to what Chris says to say about her...he's a hater!

Farah, Marilyn, and I are watching ultimate weddings and we decided that mine should have been on that...I'm not bragging...just talking about entertainment purposes. So much happened that day...

It was a FREEZING October day and we experienced all different kinds of weather: rain ( a lot of it), high winds, hail, and even sun...it was really wierd

On our way to the church, our limo was leaking all over my bridesmaide dresses and all of us took turns cussing out the limo guy...we had to find a different limo company to pick us up from church (the guys too..ended up with a party bus)

My brother and cousin Chris took their own car after church and decided to meet us at where we were taking pictures....I was NOT happy with that. I called my brother, yelled at him and Chris and made the photographers son drive Cliff's car so him and Chris could come in the party bus.

My friend pronounced Adam's last name wrong as she introduced us at the reception.

My maid of honors (marie and farah) made a hoe down...that was my favorite part of the entire night!

It was so much fun..,

creative juices sturring

Of course I'd start getting inspired the day I start school!! I've done 2 layouts the first 2 days of school...hopefully I can keep it up...school is going to take a shit load of my time. I have papers to write in every single class and not just one either! I have to write 3 or 4 papers for each class..and a presentation. for those of you who aren't in school (finished, never went, etc) doesn't it feel great not to have to study and write papers? it takes so much of your time. it's all good though...i can still manage to scrapbook so i'll be fine. Here's on I made today of my dad.

and also a confession:

I think this confessions book is gonna be a fun coffee table book and i love making the pages for the book. Well I gotta go, this lunesta is REALLY kicking in!! goodnight!

Oh yeah, to my cousins who post weird comments on my blog....STOP!! funny is okay. frisky isn't. arabic girls who need a lashing isn't either! You're scaring off my scrapbook buddies!

a confession

This page is going in my "confessions" book and is dedicated to my cousin farah. She gets so annoyed when I eat out (which is all the time because I hate to cook). She lectures me about how I need to stop going out to eat and start grocery shopping so I can cook at home. Oh yeah, and she ALWAYS talks about partially hydrogenated oils (which i learned from farah is another word for trans fats).

Hey foofy...don't hate because I go out to eat all the time and thanks for inspiring me to do a cool page for my confessions book! McDonald's here I come....

T minus 8 1/2 hours...

until I have to wake up for school. It's gonna be so dreadful when my alarm clock goes off at 6:30 am! I am so not looking forward to that...I just love my morning sleep too much!! I have never been a morning person and I don't think I'll ever be one...how do people do it? especially working mothers! I give them so much credit!

So, not much going on here...same old boring stuff. I actually did a few scrapbook things. I decided since I've been in such a creative rut, I'd do something a little more simple. Instead of always making layouts, I thought I'd start a mini book of my own "post secrets". I think I'm gonna call it confessions. So whenever I feel like making something creative...that won't take me a few hours to make, I'd make a "post secret" (like the one below called wishful thinking).

I had seen an awesome layout by tonya doughty on ali edwards' daily something flickr thread and I just had to copy it. It was just like this except the journaling was different (of course). I'm not sure if this is going into my "confessions" book or the album of my mom. Although it's not my design, I absolutely love how it turned out....

And then, I went into my scrapbook room (for the 5th time today) and I actually got a layout done. It's a little chopped off on the sides, but here it is....

where has the time gone?

I can't believe my vacation is almost over...how sad!! The thought of studying all over again, especially statistics, is making me sick to my stomach. Oh well, I'm ALMOST done....I swear I think I hear heaven sing!!!

So, I planned on scrapbooking this entire vacation but that didn't happen. I have been in a major scrapbook funk! Can't think of anything creative for the life of me...so frustrating. I did go to a couple crops with staci (a couple times...she's so much fun) and janiece (crazy girl). I had tons of fun with them and managed to get a few pages done. Here they are...not my favorite, but it's something...

I started making an album about my mom....I love the way it's turning out but it's been a VERY SLOW process. It's been so therapeutic to be working on it. I can't wait until it's done so I can show it to you guys. Here's a peak at what it's looking like (i'll post more when it's finished).

I did another one today...i love this picture of me and my dad.

More news....

Somerset magazine emailed me...they're interested in publishing 2 of my layouts!! Yay!

My 27 year old cousin won a million dollars last night!!!!!! Literally!! He was in a drawing for the MI lotto drawing and actually won....lucky bastard!!! oh what I would do with a million dollars!!! But he's an awesome guy and totally deserves it...congrats, neil!

fact: The chances of winning the Lotto jackpot is roughly 1 in 3.5 million.
