She's Alive!!

That goes for both Meredith and I! LOL I feel like I have been so busy, but I'm starting to see the lights at the end of the tunnel! What did you all think of Grey's this week?? Again I cried. Talk about emotional!!! I just loved it when Izzy was next to Denny at the end.. *sigh*. As much as I like the show this past week, I'll be happy to get back to the good ole Grey's. Drama & fun mixed with romance and craziness!!!

I did survive my first week at work! It was wonderful and I don't have one ounce of regret about leaving my old job! I work with some great therapists too, so I think overall this was a great move.

Secrets..... got some more :) I'll announce them soon. Just when I didn't have enough going on with moving, I decided to make another one.. but that will have to wait until later!!!

Packing update..... none. We close on the house tomorrow!!! We have a painter coming this week to give us an estimate and then we will have the house painted before we move in. Jeff has to go out of town this month too, so it looks like we will be in the new house at the end of March. I can't wait. We did the walk through yesterday and now I'm even more excited. Here is a pic of the house.. it's not a very good pic, but it will do!

Tonight is the Oscars... I will probably watch even though I haven't seen a movie in forever! I miss going to the movies every week! But that's ok.. that's what Netflix is for! Ok everyone I'm off to play with Ellie!

Izzy is a rockstar and Meredith is blue?!

So Grey's was crazy last night! First of all did anyone else find it a bit cheesy that McDreamy pulled Meredith out of the water all blue?? And how is it that a lifeless blue body can gently rest on your face?? LOL Obviously that part threw me off a bit. What's crazy, is that everyone know's Meredith will be ok.. I mean the name of the show is GREY'S anatomy.. hello that's her. But overall I did love the show. I think Izzy shined and she is definitely back! I loved the part when she rambled off on everything she believed and how she flat out told George he made a mistake. That is the Grey's I'm used to.. quirky and funny :) Ok enough of my ramblings.

I'm officially finished at my job at PTS!! My last day was bittersweet. Happy to get the heck out of there and then sad to let go. Next week I start at the new job and the fresh start will be great! Now with that over with, I can concentrate on my other move.. to our new house. We close on the 26th and will probably have it painted before we move in, so we are looking at the 2nd week in March! Yeah!!

I'm still in a huge funk with scrapping/designing. I started 2 kits, and am really not in love with them. Melinda suggested I change the colors to see if I like it better.. I may just end up doing that. I did manage to squeeze out one page for the scrapdish team:

Ok I need to get back to work! Bye for now!!!

Nothing beats...

a great glass of wine! I'm drinking a glass of wine and just browsing the internet.. nothing exciting, but it's down time and that is golden! I'm in a slump.. not in the mood to scrap or design. I am working on 2 kits, but so far it's been a struggle. Hopefully some mojo will come may way soon! I really need to get going on things. Please pass the mojo!

My week is over and I finally told all of my parents I was leaving. It went much better than I thought it would so I was very happy about that! I have 1 more week to go at the current job and then it's off to the next one. I'm so excited for the change!! Speaking of other changes, Jeff and I haven't packed 1 box for our move. We really need to get moving on that. Maybe tomorrow??? LOL

Grey's Anatomy: What was that about???? I was on the edge of my seat.. wowzers! A bit bloody for my taste though. What's up with the little girl??? I read another forum and someone asked if we thought it was Izzy's adopted kid... NO. Isn't her child older?? You know Derek is going to jump in the water and save Meredith... and why isn't she swimming and just sinking??? I don't get it. Poor Izzy looked like a mess and is it just me or is McAlex getting hotter every week?? Don't know why, but I've got a thing for Alex lately. And to think that this is the first of 3 episodes... *sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait to see how it turns out!

Today I took a good mommy day. Jeff and I, along with my mother ran around town and went crazy. I went to Target, Kohls, PF changs (yummy!), TJ Maxx, the mall and then Costco.. phew, my feet are killing me! We bought Ellie the cutest Crocs today. Now I know people love these things and I do too, but for kids only! I think they are so stinkin cute on kids, but on Adults they look like nursing shoes. I guess I worked in too many hospitals :) Anyway I took a pic of them:

cute huh?! What's up with Anna Nicole Smith dieing?? I didn't see that coming. She was weird. I have to admit I used to watch her reality show.. it was a train wreck that I couldn't turn away from. She always seemed so doped up. Ok I digress..... night ladies!

Callie O'Mally and other ramblings....

Grey's was wonderful as always this week! I was shocked to learn that Callie and George got married! "Callie O'Mally" I love it!!! We'll see what happens with that! Meredith's mother was so mean!!! And what the heck, why is Addison with Mark?????? Didn't Alex look so cute when he was recovering and laying in the bed talking to her??? Is she blind? McSteamy is cute, but he's not McAlex!! And as always, there was a preview of next week's show and now I can't wait to see it!

Oh, I get to stay on Kimberly Geswein's CT. She invited the Jan. guests to stay on and of course I was thrilled. I Love her stuff and she is just an awesome person to work with!!

I have been crazy busy and haven't had time to scrap, design or even really check email. Unfortunately I have a feeling it will be like this for the next few weeks. This week I am telling my parent's that I am leaving. I'm very sad about it and have been a nervous wreck. My jaw is killing me from grinding my teeth at night. Pathetic!

So I have my new camera and I"m in love with it. I secretly wish I was a professional photographer! LOL How fun of a job would that be. Anyway, I've been volunteering to take pics of everyone and everything. I've gone to 2 birthday parties the past few weeks and look at some of the fun pics I have taken! These are all of Ellie's little buddies and one is of Ellie too! Click on pics to see them larger! (I added my name because it's part of my little photography fantasy! lol Plus I see alot of other people do it so why not???!!)


Ellie has been a riot lately. Her new words are "play" "slide" and "outside". Whenever we pass the little playground I hear from the backseat "play!" She loves the outdoors! Today she ran her little heart out at my mom's house. It helps that it was 74 degrees today :) Robin I need your help..I'm off the wagon... eating like no tomorrow!!! I'm sure it's stressed related!
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be a little MIA lately.. I'll try to keep posting!
