Sick day doodles

I know it's been a long time since I've peeped in my blog. The new year has brought some changes in my life. I have a new job! So it's been all about managing time between work and family and friends and extra-curricular activities. I think I can probably wing it.

So I'm sitting here today with a massive flu bug going around the office where everybody's dropping like flies. Go figure. I'm pretty weak. Almost fainted yesterday and I hate it. I don't like to be motionless! Just ask big Am. That's his new name. I suppose I'm kinda rambling and writing spur of the moment stuff that goes through my head like some stream of consciousness or unconsciousness as it were!

Like some soppy sick kid I'm waxing nostalgia and downloading all kinds of 80's pop songs from iTunes. Do you know that my first record was The Supremes in the 70's? Yep. I was maybe 10 or 11 and a family friend gave me this small portable recorder with all kinds of great 60's records. My fave song then is Love is here and now you're gone. I love it! I can still picture this 10 year old (me) just lovin' that song! Well... I guess you can tell what kinda day I'm having...hehehe.

So back to the doodle. Yeah. I doodled. I'm sick. Beats watching tv.

Just a little something..something...

Just thought I would start this cross-stitch design and I'm having a blast! Who would have thought handling a needle and thread could be so much fun? I picked up this little kit while we were on our trip to Alaska. I'm not sure where I'm going to put it but I plan on framing it that's for sure. Hows that for vanity... :)

January madness

Why is the weather so weird? It snowed oodles and oodles of white stuff in December, the likes we haven't seen in years and now...... it's raining and raining and feels like spring? In January? Is global warming to blame? I read an account from a prominent geologist who says that we shouldn't get our nickers in a twist over weather patterns. That in the 1930's the weather was even warmer than it is today and that it's normal in the long run to see the warming of the planet and then the cooling off of the planet. Was he bought off by big corpo for this rendition? Or is it true? Are we looking ahead to severe frost in the future?

Merry Christmas 2007

Lovely aren't they? I have received six and am waiting on two others. Hopefully they will make it in the new year. In the mean time I'm working on some other stuff. I want to take the time to wish everyone a Happy Holiday. Me and the lil' family are jetting off to Mexico for Christmas. What? Heresy! I have only one thing to say about that... who cares? I think it's exactly what the doctor ordered and I am beside myself with happiness and glee and can't stop myself from grinning ear to ear....hihihi...

Finally done and sent on it's way...

Well that's it. It's done. And this year there was not too much stress or drama involved in the creation of this ornament. Last year was a totally different story. I fretted for days and tried many, many different things until I went into panick mode and whipped out 10 ornements in a matter of days. This year was more zen. Ah yes, the experienced crafter doing her thing.. ;) Not!

Holy moly more snow!

Snow!

A picture a week

Ahum... well maybe I was a little fast on the one picture a day idea. Maybe it should be more like a picture a week cause I'm going to have a hard time just keeping up the flow! So much to do in a day with a wee one especially when he stays at home with you on those perticular days when everyone around him is sick and you're trying to keep him germ free at home. Mr. Boo has discovered the internet and DVDs. None of which he learned from us. So now we are barraged with Barney and Bob the builder and Thomas and friends all day it seems.
My eyes are bugging out from creature exposure and oh do I want to cry cause my brain is mush!!

A picture a day..

I have been thinking for a while to write a journal. You know... the kind where you write what you are grateful for on that day. I've always thought it was a nice idea so you can look back on it and ponder your life. I'm not always good about writing though so I thought I would take a picture everyday. That seems motivating to me. So what better way to start this than a picture of the buddha! I'm not a very religious person but I am spiritual. I believe there is something holding all of us together and for some weird reason I always come back to the buddha. I'm not a budhist. I was raised Catholic but do not believe in the church. Just too many bad deeds connected to that for me to pledge alliance. But the buddha..... somehow makes me peaceful.
So there. My first picture for my own little project of a picture a day. Hope you like!
