Holy Grey's Anatomy!!!

I just finished watching Grey's and I'm shocked!!! I really hope Christine says Yes! Not sure about Cally (sp?) though.... I wish you could all have seen my face as I watched the ending. I swear my mouth was wide open! I again cried tonight. Is it just me or are the endings the best part?? Now don't get me wrong I love the whole show, but the endings really grab me and suck me in!

I did another page:
I used Robin's newest kit "Can't Stop Crying" available at Scrapdish.com Aren't the colors awesome!! I just love how rich they are.. plus they look great with B&W photos!! Plus if you head over to SBB all of her stuff is on sale :) Ok I'm off to watch Men in Trees now :)

Changes

Many changes are coming my way... first of all, yesterday I resigned from my job at the clinic. I have been there 5 years and though I'm sad to leave, I'm excited for the opportunities coming up. I am giving them a 30 day notice, so hopefully they'll find someone to replace me. I took a job with Aspire therapy and I'm so excited. I get to help start up the new office and be apart of the planning process! They told me I could bring some clients with me, which is nice since I have seen some of my kiddos for over 5 years. I would be sad it I had to just leave them hanging.

We also put an offer on a house this week. It will close on February 28th. I'm so excited about this too! The house is pretty plain and has zero upgrades.. we looked at 3 that were the same floor plan and this one has the most potential. We plan on doing a lot to it over the next year, which will be pretty fun too. It's over double the size of the house we have now and I can't wait to have some extra room to spread out in. I'm sick of my countertops be loaded with stuff because we don't have any more cabinet space.

It all happened so fast.. on Thursday I talked to Aspire therapy, met with them Saturday morning, took the job on Monday and then resigned on Thursday. I went to the open house on Saturday, took Jeff to it, then our realtor took us to it again on Sunday. We put an offer in that night and accepted the counter offer yesterday. phew..... whirlwind is the only way to describe it and I'm exhausted. Just wait until February.. new job and new house all in one week.... gasp!

Needless to say I haven't scrapped much. I did manage to get one page done:

See the credits here.. I'm too lazy to post it all tonight!!

What about Grey's last night???? I balled like a baby in the end. I'm part of the dead Dad's club too and it made me cry because I knew exactly how that felt and what Christina said is true.. you never get over it. I think Addison and Alex make a great couple and Izzy at the end was awesome when she said she was both a surgeon and emotionally involved and that she wouldn't change... Go Izzy!! Anyway, I was happy with the show last night and I have to admit I love it!!! Oh and American Idol is back....I love that show too!!!! Ok I"m off to bed! Goodnight!

Big Sale!!!

Head on over to the Digiscrapshak on Saturday and Sunday for a HUGE sale!!!
The site has a whole new look too! Very fun indeed!!!!


So what did you all think of Grey's last night???? I have to admit I was excited when I though Addison and Alex were going to kiss.. but they left us hanging on that one! I think George's father is going to die next week.. makes me sad. But then he'll have to lean on Cally (sp?) I just LOVE that show and thank goodness it was a new one! Ok off to bed!

Cozy on the couch...

... watching my favorite movie of all time "Pride & Pejudice". Ahhhh Mr. Darcy *sigh*
The reason I'm so cozy is that I'm in my robe and I'm sick! UGH! I hate being sick. I'm not like bound to my bed sick, but I have a horrible sinus infection starting! I have a major headache and I can't breathe out of my left nostril! (btw.. is that how you spell nostril?.. doesn't look right)
My mommy day was good and yes I got 2 pages done!! I also finished a mini kit for the avatar prize at rakscraps and then I also printed about 30 pages for Ellie's first year album. I have been putting that off and I'm finally getting it all together. The album looks pretty good.. it's funny to see the first pages I did and then compare them to my pages now. I went through and touched up some of the shadows.
Here are some pages I did over the weekend:

I fell off the wagon with my diet over the holidays.. but now I'm back on track. I was down 20 before Thanksgiving and then when I went to weigh in I was up 5lbs.. I did the "take off" on Sunday and Monday and lost 1.5 lbs. My body just feels crummy with the extra weight on it, so it feels nice to be back in the "healthy mode". Now I just need to keep going! My friend Robin is on the same program that I am and she has lost 50lbs!!! Which is completely awesome! I have about 55 lbs more to lose, so she is keeping me inspired!

And with that I think I will finish my movie and my green tea.

Happy New Year!

Wow we are in 2007! Can you believe it?? I swear I feel like I was just watching the news as people were gathering supplies to get ready for the big Y2K scare... and now it's 7 years later! That is completely insane!

So I got the best little item the other day... and I'm so excited about it! I got a new Nikon D80 digital camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so set on getting the new Canon Digital Rebel xti, but after reading a ton of reviews and then going to look at them, we walked away with the Nikon. It takes the most amazing pictures!! Now I'm no photographer by any means, but I tell you, the pictures are amazing. Poor Ellie is getting super annoyed at me taking 500+ pics of her! Poor thing, maybe one day she'll see my face out from behind the camera!

Tomorrow is going to be a mommy day. I'm off work and Ellie is going to the sitter. I have plans to do nothing!! Maybe a pedicure and lots of scrapping! That's the plan.. we'll see how that goes! Other than that, nothing too exciting to report. I only had to work 3 days this week, so that was nice.. next week it's back to 5 days!! UGH! I know I'm a big complainer! Have a great weekend Ladies!
