Headaches and Tag!

So I've been missing again! I have had a headache for the past 10 days... goes in stages, it will be gone and then in the evening it returns! Now at first I thought it was hormonal.. but then work has been so crazy so I thought maybe tension.... and the weather has been insane, tons of humidity.. so maybe that is it. Then it came to me that I've had these headaches since working out! So my OT and PT friends tweaked my neck a bit and it looks like my neck is all weird and that is causing the headaches. It does go away when I work out and then comes back shortly after. Hmmmmmm... a mystery. All I know is that it hurts and really I"m not a huge complainer. Ibuprofin is now my friend LOL and yes I plan on going to the doctor this week!

Work has been insane! Like I said the weather has been crazy and I'm sure the barametric (sp?) pressure may have something to do with this. Wednesday had to be the worst day I've ever had.. I got pooped on, puked on and almost every kid tantrumed that day. (And I wonder where the headaches come from!) But Thursday everything was back to normal.

Last Saturday I headed to Tucson for the night with my mom and aunt. They were raised there, so they like to go down and visit the "old hangout" spots! It was fun and can I just say I REALLY enjoyed sleeping in! We went and saw the movie "The Devil Wears Prada"... so stinkin cute! I really enjoyed it. I still need to go see Pirates.

Burning up!

I'm about to die of heat! I know Arizona is hot, but yesterday it was 114 degrees and I'm not even sure what today was.... all I know is that it's HOT! Now usually I can handle the heat ( I mean I'm a native of Arizona!) but for some reason we are also having some humidity, which is just insane! I walk out of the house and my hair is immediately wet and straight! The best part of all of this is getting in and out of a steaming car, especially when my seats are leather. I'm sure I leave a small sample of my skin on the seat each time I get in. It's supposed to rain tonight too, which will hopefully get rid of the humidity and will cool things off just a tad.. :)

Ok enough of me complaining. I did go shopping today and I really didn't find anything. Don't you hate it when you go shopping with money to spend and you can't find a thing. Of course if I went with out my gift certificates in tow I would have found something for sure!

On a bright note, I did go work out 5 times this week!!!! Now don't faint, but I did. I can hardly believe it myself. I'm waiting for the miracle of more energy to happen and so far it hasn't. I am enjoying the tanning booth there though. Jeff keeps telling me I shouldn't be tanning, but as I tell him, "Tan fat looks better than white fat" and with that, I'm off to get Ellie to bed! Have a great night!

Digi Pick of the Day!!!

So can I just say that my horrible day (long story) has totally turned around when I just found out that my LO "Walk" (see last post) was chose today as Digi Pick of the Day!!! I almost fell out of my chair! I guess I did get some mojo back after all! LOL!!

1/2 Mojo

So I may have some mojo back.. not 100% but at least some. I've been cruising the galleries trying to get some ideas, even looked at some of my old pages and here's what I've come up with.. now don't faint, but I actually got 3 pages done!!!!

(Credits: Heather Rosellit's new Growth Spurt Kit found at the Digichick)

How fun are those colors! This kit is awesome and I can't wait to use it on more stuff. And here's the 3rd one and the one I'm having the hardest time with.. I really need some CC on this to finish it off..

Congrats to Robin on her toot of selling her designs at Scrapbook-bytes! How awesome that would be. Nothing too exciting planned today.. just some laundry :( then it's back to work tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to working 5 days a week in the fall, this 3 days is so much nicer LOL.

Crash

So tonight I'm having a quiet night at home. Jeff flew to California to go see a concert with some friends, so it's just Ellie and myself. I had grand plans of getting about 3-4 scrapbook pages done since I am behind and everyone has new kits. I was playing around on the computer having MAJOR scrapping block, I swear I worked on one page and redid it about 5 times before I chucked the whole thing. Then I saw that the movie Crash was going to be on, and taking Tania's advice I decided to watch it. Can I just say I don't think I moved. That is one amazing movie!! I cried. Amazing is the only word I can think of. I think I'm still numb from watching it LOL.

But really I'm at a complete scrappers block. I even checked out all the galleries to get ideas, I even thought about scraplifting and I just can't come up with anything. So please send me some mojo.

I joined Shape Express yesterday, which is kind of like Curves. It' s a circuit workout program. I went today for the first time, and I have to admit it was nice to actually do something good for my body. In all honesty, I haven't worked out since before I was pregnant (2 years???) Hence the extra 70 lbs. UGH! I look at a donut or my beloved mexican food and it goes straight to the thighs. The good thing about this place is that it's seriously around the corner and it only takes 30 mins.. I figure Jeff can give Ellie a bath and get her ready for bed and I can get my workout in. I'm hoping it will increase my energy level, because lately I've had none.

Ok off to watch more TV since scrapping isn't happening

35

Today I'm 35!! UGH! And for some reason I'm really bothered by it... 35 just seems so old. I don't feel 35 though. I'm not sure how old I feel.. I mean I don't feel like I'm in my 20s, but I certainly don't feel 35 LOL!! I really have no reason to complain though, I have an awesome job, a great husband, a beautiful little girl, a great family and awesome friends. What more could a girl possibly need!

OK that was my pep talk to myself. Thanks for being apart of it!!!!

I can't wait to see Pirates.. especially Johnny Depp.. Love him. Such great eye candy!!! I also want to see the Breakup.. again great eye candy with Vince Vaughn. I'll stop drooling now.
Adios!

Happy Belated 4th of July!

So yesterday was the 4th and it was pretty uneventful for us. We went to the mall and hit a sale at Old Navy and Macy's and then we went to some friend's house for a BBQ. Then we came home (by 5pm) and that's about it! No fireworks for us. Having a small child puts a damper on that. She is in bed by 7 and fireworks around here aren't until 9 or so. Plus I had a feeling she would have screamed anyway. She's kind of at that age where she wants nothing to do with loud sounds. But all in all it was a nice day. I've been pretty creative lately! Here are 2 kits that I made recently to give out as prizes:

Denim & Daisies.. a fun little kit with denim textures :)

And here is my Happy Flowers Kit which I gave out for the June avatar challenge! I thought it turned out pretty well and I love the colors!

So what do you all think of the new shows being advertised for this fall?? Is it just me or does that Friday NIght Lights look good on NBC??? Could it be the cute coach??? Remember he was the cop who got blown up on Greys!!! Right now I"m watching The 4400 and National Treasure. Other than that, it's all about the reruns! And with that I'm off to bed! NIght all....oooh and Tin congrats on your Toot!! I'm so happy for you!

Third Times a Charm

So I just got back from my 3rd Trip to Vegas (in the past 4 months) which really sounds crazy since before these I hadn't been there in years!!! Anyway, this time I went with Jeff and our friends Chris & Tiffany. We had a great time. Much calmer than my last go around. We played Craps most of the weekend and then ate our hearts out! I did win big on Friday night, but over the corse of the weekend I gave it all back except for the $100 Jeff gave me in the beginning to start with. We stayed at the New York, New York and as much as I like the hotel in general, we were not impressed with the rooms at all. Which really in the scheme of things doesn't matter since you are barely in the room anyway :)

Last night we had dinner at the Foundation Room on top of Mandalay Bay.. again it's all who you know. Through a friend, we got to go to this place. I guess you have to be a paid member there and from what I can tell it's pretty costly. So thanks to the connection for hooking us up! We had awesome appetizers and then a wonderful 3 course meal.. not to mention the awesome dessert we had too! Here is a picture of Jeff and I from the top and here is the view we had. It was really a cool experience!

I'm so excited that I have tomorrow and Tuesday off!!! YEAH! Not sure what we have planned for the 4th, probably something low key since Ellie goes to bed early and the chances of a babysitter that night are pretty slim. Ok off to finish up some things!!
