Weekend Mess

Sunday, April 27, 2008

Ever felt like there's so much to do and no time to do it in?? Well that's how I'm feeling today. I call it our "Weekend Mess" i don't clean on Friday's and Saturday's since it's the only time i get to spend with my husband and most of the time we are running around all day trying to get things done. Sunday's i always look at the house and sigh because it's always a ever loving wreck. Mail on the counters, dishes in the sink, glasses laying around, and bags from shopping all over the place. Like i said i don't do anything on Friday's and Saturday's.

My husband works so much that i barely get to see him so anytime i have with him i want to spend with him and not running around the house cleaning all day. Well i also have food to cook today because it's the Pens playoff game. Yeah we're gonna smash the New York Rangers! We better!!! I also plan to go outside and take some photos since i haven't since the 17th =X I have these gorgeous tulips beside my porch that are just waiting for me to shoot them.

Well time to get going the game comes on soon i don't have much time!

Book Shopping

Friday, April 18, 2008


Hubby and I went to half price books yesterday =) I found all of these books for only $14! He had to basically pry me away from those book shelves lol I'm such a book nerd! At least now he won't have to stop by the library every so many days to pick me up a book. I think these should last me awhile... but with the way i read who knows =X.

Reading is so peaceful and relaxing it's one of the things i enjoy the most. I have my own little room in our house where i just sit back with a big glass of tea a candle burning and my dog laying on the floor below me and read for hours at a time. I call it my "Zen" room. It's painted a nice shade of blueish gray with white trim and original hardwood floors. I have candles all over the place that smell so sweet when they burn. My own little escape!

Well the house work isn't getting done with me sitting here on this computer... Enjoy this weather! Isn't it lovely?!!

April is FULL of ....."Things To Do"

Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Have i mentioned how much i love spring? The sweet smell of flowers coming through the windows the bright blue skies and warm air.. Although recently here the air hasn't been all that warm. Not to mention lot's to photograph!

I started a business on my photography website. It's nothing big I'm selling some photoshop actions but so far it's going great! I actually made money off of it so now the test is over i plan to add more to it and get it going. I just haven't had the time to do anything to the site though.

I have a lot of different things happening. My husbands bday is on the 17th, the Pens are in the playoffs, Angela's baby shower is coming up, I have my site to take care of, Gardening work to do, and on top of everything i still have house chores to do everyday and redoing the kitchen cabinets plus bathroom tile removal is still on my list of "Things To Do" =X

Speaking of "House Chores" i better get off of here and get started.. Laundry, floor cleaning, dishes, dinner and more dishes later to do.

Gorgeous Spring Day

Thursday, April 10, 2008


It was such a warm gorgeous day today. I went to the store to grab a few things came home put everything away cleaned up and then went for a walk with my sister. I got a lot of nice shots of all the beautiful flowers coming up around here. Sometimes i wonder what my neighbors must think when they see me outside laying on the ground to get a good shot of a small flower or when I'm bent over with my head almost to the ground trying to get the perfect angle... JEEZ i must look totally crazy out there lol.

I'm sneaky to... I sneak into people's yards to get photos of their flowers. So far so good no one has caught me and i don't think they would be mad but who knows right? Some people are like really finicky about things like that.

Tomorrow is game 2 of the playoffs for the Pittsburgh Penguins. We smashed the Senators last game 4-0. Roberts came out with a mission and scored the first goal. Shouldn't doubt scary Gary you just never know with him. Geno had a 3 point night with 2 assists and a goal. He's just awesome!! There is no other way to say it but awesome. Tomorrow should be fun i bet the Sens are just a little annoyed at us.... Can't wait!!!

Album Cover!

Saturday, April 5, 2008



I got an email on flickr the other day from Tyler asking me if he could use the photo above for his album cover. I told him yes as long as i was credited for the photo and if i could have a copy of the cd. He agreed and also said if he came to my town he would send me free tickets to his show as well and said he will not only send one cd but a few =D

I feel honored to have someone want to use one of my photos for something like that!!! I can't wait to see the cd and what it looks like as the cover. I told my hubby about it and he is super excited for me =).

BLAH i am so tired right now. We went for a very long walk earlier and i wore the wrong shoes i have blisters all over my feet now and i am just so tired from it. The dog would not listen at all... I guess he was in one of those moods. Ah well I'm off to bed!

Family Dispute

Thursday, April 3, 2008

So she isn't mad at me! Turns out she just went to see a friend and had left her cellphone in the car. I hate when people are mad at me it just eats at me until it's resolved but in this case i misread the entire thing which was easy to do because of how she just left and didn't answer my calls.

I just got done playing Yahtzee with my sister. It's one of my all time fav games. We used to play it with our parents when we were kids so it's something we have been doing for a long time now. She rolled 3 yahtzee's the first game!!! Yeah she kicked my butt that game lol The second game i did better and actually won so i redeemed myself =)

Tomorrow I'm going to the library to look for some new books to read. I'm hoping they have Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella. I loved her Undomestic Goddess and hopefully they'll have some books by Catherine Anderson to. She has become one of my fav authors. I love her books. Well time for me to go to bed! Goodnight


I'm guessing my sister is really mad at me right now because she stormed out of here saying she would be right back and has yet to come back... that was like 3 hours ago. She was playing with my dog and like batting at him near the face and i jumped at her and told her not to. I didn't mean to do it and i didn't mean to be rude it's just my dog is around 100 lbs and i don't want him hurting anyone. I tried to text message and explain that to her and say sorry but she has yet to return the messages or call me back. All i said is "Don't do that i don't want him to end up violent" what if he ends up hurting someone because he thinks they want to play with him when in reality they don't?? That's what i worry about i need to keep a dog that size under control and tame as much as possible. "sigh" i hate it when people are mad at me especially when it's my family. Now i feel really uncomfortable because i know i have to face her face to face eventually and i hate confrontations i never say things right so sometimes it just ends up even worse then it started.

There she goes growing up so fast oh how the years just flew past.
Ribbons and curls buttons and bows here she comes world....
