Boy, Am I really that bad at blogging??

I haven't been here in over a month.  What's changed since then??
 
  • Well, amyjosmith.com is up and running now...
  • Um...Kurt got a little Honda Accord (1985, gift)
  • The sun came out in Coos County, for several days in a row, on day even 90°
  • I got earplugs for mother's day, and a cute flower pot and flower plant waiting to sprout from Cam.
  • Kurt's canoe is almost finished
  • I got a terrible week long sinus headache that turned to migraine
  • I cut the end of my pinky off (not completely, just the end and it's a flapper now)
  • I talked to Tracy AT LEAST twice in 30 days...that's pretty good for us, we're both bad at calling these days.
  • I have misplaced my wallet.  Again.  You're surprised, aren't you.
  • I am going to Alaska in about 2 weeks.

I think that's about everything.  You feel *in the know* now, don't you...

Oh, and as usual, I did some scrapping and submitting to magazine calls

Photos and Scrapping

I think they are the story of my life...going to Gates to take some pics of my sis and some of her friends before prom - and to retrieve Abby.
 
Got some cool new grunge overlays on my blog - hope they make it up for sale at The Digi Chick this week too :)  We's po'
 
In case they don't - check out my BLOG here to take a peek or to buy them :)

Oh my - where to begin

How about I just tell you about the cool new scrapbook products I whipped up today for The Digi Chick - very cool stuff too if I might say so myself!
 
I made some overlays (can be used as clipping masks too), and 4 sets of brushes :)  I have a TON more stuff I need to do - like a new set of textures...but I am SO SLOW...no, I work quickly - but staying on task is a terrible issue for me!!
 
Anyhow, let's see about adding those new images...

I am still alive

I just don't have anything all that exciting to share with you. 
 
IE7 Beta sucks.
My Publisher is having a 50% off any order of $100 or more sale (good time to order your hard bound scrapbooks - they won't crop your stuff to fit the page (unless you want them to).
 
Kurt got the outside of the canoe fiberglassed and is now sanding the inside to do it next - looks pretty sharp - will put up an album for the canoe pics.  Wish he'd make a blog for that - would be a good exercise for him and feed his ego because I am sure many would find it super cool.
 
Abby and Ruby fight and it's funny - Ruby is a brute and clobbers Ab - who just stands there and says, "'eeee eeee - she's hitting me"   well, no duh.  MOVE??
 
off to find canoe pics :)

MySpace is cooler

Well...maybe.  I just am doing better at keeping up with that blog because people I KNOW actually READ it.  Well, and I go and check our Richard's and his is FUNNY and laughing is good.
 
Misery of miseries, I lost the stylus to my wacom tablet.  Yeah, yeah, I know - most of you don't care.  But I care, I am mouse handicapped.  I have used a stylus on the tablet for about 4 years now and navigating a mouse is for me...well, crippling!!  I can barely navigate.  It's not strain, it's just not having pinpoint accurate control over where I want to be and it's a heck of a lot slower getting around.  Drag all over...man, with the pen you point to what you want and you are THERE - tablet is proportionate to screen - it's all good.  MOUSE STINKS - yes it is conveniently cordless and all - but it's wretched and awful.
 
Now, I have done a fair amount of searching for the stylus (although I will go through the car more thoroughly) - it is NOT: in the dishwasher, microwave, frige, kitchen drawers, kitchen cabinets, bathroom drawers, cabinets, trash, couch, recliner, tea shelf, piles on the kitchen shelves, piles on my desk, desk drawers, printer, shoes under my desk, pile or rubbish removed from beneath my desk, my camera bag, my miso pretty bag, NOR the basket on the dining room table.  YES in fact, I am blond.  This alone isn't the sole cause of my problem, however I believe it to be a major contributing factor.
 
SO, if any of you find my stylus (wacom graphire 3 - sapphire blue) PLEASE SEND IT RIGHT ON OVER because a new one is $29.95 plus $10 shipping no matter how you ship the stupid thing!!
 
Thanks, I feel better now.

new niece - chocolates - just stuff

My new niece is here!!  Miss Cherry didn't have it all so easy  however she and Shaye Morgan Reeves are both doing fine!  My new niece was born at 5:28 pm at Alaska Regional Hospital (and soon her cute lil' picture should be in their new nursery photos).  She is 19 inches long and was 7# - and she's super cute and plans to take up opera as soon as she can stand.  Casey is thrilled and Charity probably is too even though she's heavily drugged after her c-section.  Pictures are at the end, only a couple - I am trying to edit out some of the digital noise in the others and will get them uploaded for Case later...not tonight - he promised more pictures tomorrow.  Grandma Martha was there for the big event and they are trying to find a usb cord that will fit the socket on her camera to get her photos too.
 
In other news, Godiva is having their annual after Valentine's Day sale...- HALF OFF CHOCOLATES - now don't y'all rush out and buy them all for me, get a box for yourselves too...  I would like...one box of each.  Thanks in advance.
 
Ruby has terrible tantrums...so I took pictures today - she like her new cousin - will be pursuing opera...
 
No other excitement I suppose...I am not freezing - but then again, Mr. Heater is 3 feet from me full blast.
 
The sprayer on the kitchen sink no longer sticks and sprays everyone near the sink when the faucet is turned on and the operator is expecting the water to come from the tap...not the sprayer.  In fact, it wasn't many days after I got Bill with it that he happened upon a working nozzle unit and brought it over to us...THANKS MAN!  I mean, I only sprayed myself...every time Kurt touched it   Rarely did I actually hit anyone else, I was nearly always the victim...oh, woe is me, poor victim of domestic spraying...well, not anymore.
 
If something is shipped UPS second day air on a thursday...do you get it on saturday or do they make you wait until monday?  man, if i have to wait until monday i am going to be miffed...
