Full Speed Update
Man where to being.... Have I been a lame blogger or what. I have totally neglected my blog. umm... I have a really good excuse! We've got one more week and dh kids are going to be here and we have been getting everything ready. We redocorated ds room and making a few changes to the girls room. I'm trying to slowly tranform the girls room into a teenagers room - ahh.. saying that is crazy! Our kids are growing up and we haven't even started a family of our own! We have three kids between the two of us, two are dh's and one mine. Total of one boy (the oldest) and two girls. They are all basically a year apart, so for the most part they get along well.
So let's rewind here abit......
My neices - Mum ended up taking them home after one week. I think they were getting abit home sick from their other grandma's. We did have a girls night and ate chick-fil A, thank goodness it wasn't McDonalds! Then we went to a Museum, the girls had fun. It was nice spending some time with them and have my hair done. hee hee I have been email their Mum in Iraq and she misses the girls alot. I've sent her loads of pictures and video clips of the two of them.
My car got hit in a parking lot at Carabbas and I went back into the restaurant and asked the Manager to find the owner of the vehicle. It's a long story but to sum it up. The cops showed up and I couldnt' file a police report because it was on PRIVATE PROPERTY! The womans paint was on my car but she denied it was from her vehicle. We disputed it with the insurance company and there was not enough evidence to prove she did it so it was claimed against my insurance! There was no damage to her car whatsoever! I was totally fustrated with the whole thing and I'm pretty anal about where I part my car and making sure it's not too close to someone elses vehicle. It's was pretty clear someone in her passanger side open her door onto my car. So now I have this ding in my car door with blue paint - I still have yet to make time to get it fixed.
SCRAPBOOK JUNKIES!
That's what my BF and I were called when my BF called up her Mum and asked her to meet me up at Scrap Etc for an AWESOME AWESOME SALE!! 50% off everything in you tote! That was something that neither of us could pass up! Trina's Mum met me up at the store in the morning, she was the first to arrive and I was the second. I arrived with some Chick Fil A minis! We got in the store and there was so much I wanted to make sure I covered and purchased. I helped Trina via phone from Texas on what she wanted and had her Mum all filled up. It was so much fun and I had a good time with Trina's Mum. I got so much good stuff and I have no reason why I should need to go out to the store and buy anymore stuff.

I'm starting to work on my scrap area in my master bedroom. I got an awesome deal on a paper rack from a friend. It has 30 slots for paper and I actually put my paper in it last night. I really didn't organize it, so I will have to go back and do that. It's amazing how much paper you can acquire over time. I have tons. I have so much stuff that when I go through it I feel like I just went shopping, I sometimes totally forget what I have. So with that said, it's time to purge some of my scrapbook supplies - Monique at Scrap Etc is doing a really nice thing for the
Children's Harbor in Birmingham - The Children's Harbor mission statement is simple, To strengthen children and families. They give FREE counseling to children with long term serious illnesses and their families. They offer scrapbooking to the families, so she said if you donate some supplies she will give you 50% off your entire purchase. Well, I certainly don't need anything else just yet but I'm still going to purge my paper. I have paper that is ancient and I'm sure I don't use and stickers that I don't use anymore since there are 3-D stickers now. You can read about it on her blog -
Well, that's a quick brief update and hopefully I can get on the ball and keep this updated. Hope everyone had a nice 4th - we just did abunch a stuff around the house. We were home sick, we missed our family in Texas. We always get together and do fireworks and dinner and we missed it this year.
