Lazy Day

I took the day off to get some stuff done around the house and in the yard. So far all I have done was eat some cereal and clear a couple of episodes of Lost and United States of Tara off my DVR list. I have a few LO's that I have made in the past week, so I figured I'd delay the working part of my day a little longer and get them posted.
Here's two I made with the new Mega kit from MLAS called Let the Sunshine In.


And this one I made with a picture I stole from my daughter's Facebook page. I used a kit from Dream Big Designs.


So now I WILL GET DRESSED AND GET SOME WORK DONE!

Sometimes I'm Busy Doing Nothing

It seems like when all the girls were living at home and I was working full time I had a million things to do and I got most of it done. Now, I have all the time in the world to do things, and I cannot really say that I am getting much of anything done. I have been saying for weeks that as soon as the pollen stops flying, I will wash the windows....and...any day now, I will clean up the mess in the cellar....and...As soon as I get a chance, I will finish the book that I took out from the library about a month ago...and...before the school year ends, I will correct that pile of projects that I collected from my students in April...and...when the weather warms up, I will plant some flowers and do some weeding.

BUT, what I have been doing lately is... a lot of nothing.

I go for walks, I go out to eat, I do a little bit of scrapping and I watch a LOT of TV...I watch whatever is on...basketball, hockey, baseball, Lost, American Idol, House, Old Christine, In the Middle, Modern Famly, 2 1/2 Men, Big Bang Theory, Pacific, United States of Tara, Grey's Anatomy, Glee....I'm sure there are more...but this list is sad enough. I love the mindless numbness of sitting and watching.

Maybe it's all about getting old and slowing down. I'll be 50 in a couple of months, and its been a busy 50 years. I've really had enough of being busy and I think I will just sit around and do whatever the hell I feel like doing for a little while.

But, I do have some LO's that I did in the past month. Sadly, It's been almost that long since my last blog. Oh well, like I said...I've been busy!

For these first two I used a kit from Bubblescrap Designs called Freshly Squeezed. I stole these pictures from Katie's and Laurie's Facebook pages.



For this LO, I used a another one of Bubblescrap Designs kits called Here Comes the Sun. (another stolen Facebook picture)

And for this one I used Bubblescrap Designs kit called Advent of Summer.

And last but not least, I have this silly LO that I did with a new kit from Rucola Designs called Over the Ocean.

Now that my blog is updated (this took me a couple of days to finish!) I think I need to rest.
Maybe I'll be back in a few days.....
