Flashback Monday

Okay, so I'm a few days late on the flashback ...with good reason, though. The kids and I slept at my Grandparents' house all weekend. Mike went up North with a friend Thurs-Sunday. While I think normally I would've been fine staying in the house with the 3 kids (I won't sleep there alone), a friend passed along some info and I was too startled to sleep in the house. She let me know that a subdivision not too far (within about a mile and a half from our house) has been having series of break-ins in the middle of the night. WHAT?!?!? I thought we lived out in the country where these things don't really happen. It sounds like it's the result of people leaving doors unlocked, but their homes have been robbed while they are sleeping!! Okay, I've always double checked that all the doors are locked every night before going to bed (I'm a freak that way). While I know stuff happens everywhere, I was too paranoid to sleep in my own house. SO we were gone for the weekend, too.

Okay, so this is BASIC scrapbooking at it's best. Didn't even use much paper. SO does it count? I don't know. Alot of magazine clippings. In one of those fancy peel back the pages books. This is something my friend, Kerri, and I put together at the end of senior year of high school. To fill you in a bit, I was dating someone named Cass (someone I had been friends with for years), Kerri had a major crush on my friend, Pipp (that was his last name, he didn't like to be called by his first name), and our friend, Alyssa, had a major crush on Phil, a friend of Pipp and I. Those boys were real cuties. I should dig up some of those pictures, too.

The guys in this page are Tony (a friend of mine & Cass'; and Ricky, someone I had small crush on in high school) Kerri created the lift the flap over Cass' name so that it appears to say "ass" but when you lift the flap it says "Cass". Pretty crafty, huh??

Hours after a party or just a late night up all night sort of thing, we would drive down to the lakefront to see the sunrise. A beautiful sunrise : )

I have a few more I can post later. Maddie's turn to play webkinz : )

I admit...

I've been a terrible blogger.

I think I spoke too soon when I was feeling alot better in the past couple weeks, because yesterday morning was not good. Perhaps it has something to do with the busy weekend we had. I stood up in my friend, Nikki's, wedding. I had a pretty good time, too.

But, too much dancing + too many late nights= a not so good me.

But I took this awesome photo...perhaps wedding photography is in my future? Hehe.


I promise to do better at updating this thing. If these darn headaches would go away (pretty much have had a headache for a week now, nothing seems to help it), I'd spend more time on the computer like I used to : ) And there WILL be a flashback Friday this week! Don't get too excited, it's probably only a week's worth of stuff. But, fun nonetheless.

I also promise to start scrappin' more soon. I have to use some of the stuff to make room for all the new stuff I bought (October Afternoon Cherry Hill & Ducks in a Row, Imaginisce school, and Prima Mommy and Me!) Fun stuff.....

lots to say...

but no time to say or post!! I promise next week will be fully stocked. Including the old stuff. I am standing up in a wedding this weekend and I am working hard on making a slideshow for it (never did this before...)

I'll post soon with info and pics!!! Excited to finally move onto more creative things after this weekend is over!!! =back to scrapbooking : )

uh, and oh yeah, I should totally be in bed right now. But I had to eat a hot pretzel first. Ah, obviously pregnant.

look out!

I FINALLY have found the "scrapbook" I was looking for from high school. Lots of magazine clippings. Good stuff. Hehe. I have to take pictures yet in order to post it. Oooo, fun!!!

unbelievable!

Report: Favre to Have Biceps Surgery, May Sign with Vikings
By Dan O'Donnell
MINNEAPOLIS - The St. Paul Pioneer Press is reporting on its website that Brett Favre will undergo surgery on his injured right biceps tendon.
If all goes well, the report indicates that Favre will likely sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

Favre in a Jets uniform was weird, but okay, we cheered for the Jets (and the Packers, of course) all season.

But Favre in purple & gold? I don't think we can name our son, Brett, any longer (we don't know yet what we are having---finding out July 2!!!!!!---)
