Random....

I have been going through old pictures and have LOVED it. Here are some I wanted to share.
I did this layout with the wonderful Scripts Kit from Scrap Etc. My mom and dad met at highschool and this is their prom picture!
My love for chocolate started at an early age.
I was in a parade in highschool. That is me towards the front. If I still had THAT body I would wear that outfit everyday! Even with the fruit on my head.
I mentioned a few posts back that I was looking for a picture? Well, I found it! Alisa...
we both had the permed mullet look...... But we thought we looked GOOD! Wow. Don't laugh-- everyone of you has a scary hair picture!!
OK, my break is over! Back to cleaning the carpets. Have a wonderful day!

Coupon Books....

Hannah is selling coupon books to help raise money for a trip to FL for choir. They are for the bham area. One is for a free oil change. They are $15. We don't have any family here, so I told her I would ask some of my friends. If you want one, let me know by Wed at gimmegodiva@bham.rr.com. I will hook you up! Thanks!

Wanna win a spot to the Scrap etc. event?

Who wouldn't?!!? Go to the fabulous Gretchen's blog, and post a comment! She will pick a winner next week!! It will be amazing.... 6 teachers, 6 classes, a weekend away (that is worth the $399 price right there!! :-) )

So... now is your chance to win a free spot!!! Go right now and leave a comment!

New Moon!!

Just read that it is scheduled to come out Nov. 20th! But the weird part-- Dakota Fanning may play Jane. uummmm- what??!! That is definitely not the Jane I have pictured in my head!

LOST is now even better.....

Sun just opened a box of Godiva chocolates!!! Granted there was a gun under the first layer, but the top layer was perfect!!
I wonder what they did with the bottom layer? Hope someone got to eat them! Can't waste yummy chocolate! OK. commercial break is over!

hula hoop champ....

That is my title in my house. I am the wii champ! I am loving wii fit! I have lost about 5 lbs. since we got it- last Friday! I just hope I can keep it up... I really like my carbs...chocolate, bread, Dr. Pepper. And this is the first real diet I have ever done. I watch what I eat.. choose my fat grams. But I have never turned down dessert. Until now. And we took the kids to the Cheesecake factory for their report cards (Honor Roll for Both! Very Proud!) and I didn't get any cheesecake. I did have 1 bite of each of theirs ( I had to taste...) but that is all.
I have been having fun on the wii- I named my trainer Tony (he looks a little like Tony Little.. the guy with the infomercial for the "Gazelle"... remember him?) Anyway, is wrong for me to swear at him? If I am doing an exercise and having trouble balancing he will tell me " This seems tough for you" or "You seem a little shaky. Try tightening up you abs for better balance." That's when I tell him to shut up. I have never had any coordination and my balance isn't that much better!! But I am improving. Just don't ask me to do the yoga "tree" pose. It isn't pretty.

It's OK.

I have realized it is OK that I can't find those pictures. With the 9000 plus pictures I have on my computer, I don't think my kids will be traumatized by the 50+ that aren't on my computer, backed up, and copied onto CDs. I would love to find them, and if I do I will do a happy dance- Remember Balki's "Dance of Joy" from "Perfect Strangers"? That will be me, but by myself! I tried to link it, but had issues, as usual. Check it out here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfPg5LjGYz8

This is random, but has anyone else seen the oatmeal commercial where the parents have a bunch of little kids, and the give them breakfast IN THE CAR? Who would do that? Really- Quaker Oats has lost their minds if they think they are relating to parents with that one. Or maybe I am the odd ball. Any of you ever given your kids oatmeal in paper bowls in the minivan?

And one more- what is up with the bathtubs in ads for prescription meds? Have you seen them? Couples are in tubs side by side on the beach, on a hilltop, watching the sun set.... no place with plumbing... no place where water is easily accessible. Or maybe once again I am just missing out. I have never vacationed anywhere where outside tubs were an option. And who would do that?

One last thing... LOST is back! I meant to watch last season to catch up, but didn't. I am sure they will catch us up. I can hear it now...."previously on LOST....."
And check this out. My friend Deena sent it too me. She called it a little light reading. Good stuff!

And thanks to Joy, I now have a free tube of Lancome cell defense. Go to the Macy's in the mall.... go to the make up section and pick up your goody! There are several things to choose from, and they have to give it away as part of a lawsuit. Check it out here. She got a mascara, but my Macy's didn't offer that. You know I love a freebie!!
