Finally spending some time getting things cleaned out around here.  Maybe it's the weather or maybe its the fact that for the first time ever someone else is coming to clean my house for me next week, and I can't help but look forward to that.
Cleaning has been the priority of my weekend along with some reading.  I finished The book thief and wow talk about a tear jerker!  I just started reading...

And...here we go!
1. Angel or not, I will always find humor in the silly things we do each day.
2. I am me and will not be any way you want me to be.
3. As my mother used to say, you're full of baloney.
4. I drink water before, during and after I'm done working out or doing something strenuous.
5. Even in the most crowded of rooms you can always spot a kind face.
6. Everyday life is a day...

Working with this months Work in Progress kit seemed so effortless.  They papers and embellishments just worked so well with all my photo choices.
My obsession with Target is known within my family.  In fact, I think both of my kids are also obsessed with Target!  And when Colleen mentioned taking a picture in the store, it reminded me to record my obsession.

Yesterday I was back to the dentist again to get the stitches out and to find out that the reason I'm still in pain is because it's still infected and I need more meds.  Will this ever get better?
Trying to work on some more crafts again, and hopefully pull out some Easter decorations.  I know at this point, what is the point... but I'll probably get some things out since Easter will be here at...

Recently I saw someone online make these and thought what a great idea!  Using the box from some of your favorite things.
After going to see Phil and Amy in Urbana, one of the things they suggested was to track all your food in a journal to see just where those calories are coming from.  So I thought I'd make a journal for Chel with one of her favorite things... Luna protein bars, and then I thought...

Today was Chelsea's last day of spring break.  Then we have one more week of school and Zach's spring break will begin.
We had such a blast this week!  I love when she's home for a long stretch like that.  We were able to do so many things but it made for such a busy week!
Lots of shopping, movies, live shows, and laughter just to name a few of the things we did this week.  She and I had...

For months we've been trying to get together with Sam and Tasha, and finally, last night we were able to meet for dinner.

Chel and I also did some more shopping on Tuesday, after her doctor appointment. We shopped at two malls looking...

Yesterday was a day I was dreading for a long time.  It actually began over a year ago when I started having problems with a tooth.  I had already gone through a root canal and had a crown put on this tooth and it started bothering me again.  
After going to my dentist he said the tooth was infected and had to be pulled!  Well, then it seemed the tooth quit bothering me, for almost a year the...

Its spring break for Chelsea and looks like we are going to have a busy week.  Last night we headed out to the Ryan Humbert show in Hudson.  It was awesome and I can't wait for his new CD to come out!  It was a "story tellers" show, so there was lots of talking and joking between songs.  Today we are heading out to Pennsylvania to a mall for some much needed shopping! 

And then tomorrow I...

Yesterday was our monthly stamp club meeting and I love how Michelle always comes up with the cutest ideas.  And not only are they cute, but she makes things that don't take a lot of time to put together.
The little box was a 6 X 6 piece of paper scored and cut to make the box.  Perfect for post it notes or fill it with you own treats.  The other container was from one of the new stampin up dies....
