you like me!!!

you really really like me!!!! (said in my best sally fields impersonation voice), which oddly enough sounds like sally fields as forrest gump's mama.

anyways

that was SOOOO great to see all of you leaving comments in the inbox. I am VERY impressed with the four or five of you who really banded together to boost that comment count! it made me laugh out loud this morning to get all those comments. I am actually wondering if it is even going to put my post today through or how this whole funky thing works. but either way - be prepared to be wowed with even further drivel from my sarcastic mind now that i am paying for this bad boy! I am going to be here at least once a day posting whatever random events are occurring in my life. and you have all hereby vowed to not me get the dreaded echo of emptiness. I will also hereby vow to those of you who took the time to comment on mine, I will be there every day commenting for you. now if i can just figure out that gol dang blog roller thingy. anyone? anyone?

hmmm - friday, the sun is shining, there are garage sales GALORE.... and i think, no i KNOW i will be hitting a few of them with my best friend. ok i'll confess. i have already hit one today - scored a pretty new double stroller for $15. not that we really USE our double, but ever since the wheels popped off, it has been a little hard. i will have to post that fun story some other day when i am really hard up for crap to blog about. but anyways , since that time, we have made do on our single stroller, and i mean honestly, kealey is FOUR now, and perfectly capable of walking. but sometimes, you know, her little legs can't quite push that bike all the way down to the park, so i end up carrying a bike and pushing a large stroller and how much easier would it be to just PUSH them both? there have been more than a few instances like this where my double would have come in handy. so i figured i would get at least $15 worth of use out of it this summer alone. and since i will probably start contemplating baby #3 in the fall sometime ( i have to be able to fly cross country in January for work - so definitely not till July can we even begin to think about this!!!), I am sure a double will be a must have at some point in the mid - to- near future. wow that is wierd to put that out there like that. i have always known we would have more than two kids, but to actually say - ok i am almost ready to think about #3 - makes it a little more real.

NO I AM NOT CURRENTLY PREGNANT.

let me just clear that up here and now.

ok moving on.

so anyways - hoping to score a few good things at garage sales today. when i come home I am going to burn my mojito lime tart. i am VERY excited for that one, although i think it will probably only force me to want to go DRINK a real mojito. and those are HARD to find here in podunk southwest chicago suburbs let me tell you.

uuuuhhhhhhh - what else. I finished up one of my photo swap pages for the GMD team. How did i get the honor of doing traci's photos? that girl scares me to death she is so amazingly talented. There is an incredible amount of talent on that team. i still to this day have no idea what stroke of luck enabled me to be able to make gina's team. I think she was probably scared i would fly out to NY for real and stalk her if i wasnt put on the team. that is the only scenario that makes sense to me. but anyways - i finished up my LO of traci's darling son colin asleep. I am only posting this here on my blog cause it needs some color. no way in heck is this puppy going into a gallery! *edited to remove snarky comment regarding myself* (but i am betting that more than a few of you will be able to figure out what i was going to type there! WINK WINK!!!)

I used something from i think just about every folder on my hard drive. so i m going to try to remember the credits as best as i can.

All papers incl. background are from Kimberly Giarrusso's Summerfield kit, and the notecard is from Summerfield elements, and the be unforgettable label is from Studio b elements - available at her kickin' store here.

the dream brush is by rhonna farrer from "peachy keen" at two peas. the c stamp is NRJ shmootzy alpha at SA, the staples are by IOD at SA, the tags are from gina cabrera's book bag essentials kit at DDE, swirly stamp at bottom, inked edge overlay(black) and stitching on picture from Shabby Princess, brown edge overlay from Hers cd by Kim Christensen and Meredith Fenwick, and stitching on notecard by gina miller, Stitch Essentials at SBB. Font is Hannibal Lecter, and quote is by Napolean (emporer not dynamite.)

and breathe...

Ok with that it is time to go garage salin!!!

Glad to see you're staying! Yay! Oh and we HAVE to hear the story of how the stroller wheels popped off!
OMG! Another baby? How exciting!!!! I assume you're talking next July and not this year, yes? Still, you'd think I'd ever get to see your baby the way I'm all excited at the idea! LOL

I'd love to say I'll be lifting that layout someday, but I know I could never come close! That page is so awesome! Put it in a gallery-online and framed in a prestigious art gallery downtown!
