It's so me.

I try to not shop digital goodies too often. Mostly because I fall in love with too much stuff. It’s no secret that I adore Rhonna Farrer’s stuff. When I saw these I was helpless agains their power. I had to buy immediately. (www.twopeasinabucket.com is where all her digi magic is…)

Now I must be off to play with these and make some hybrid layouts. 🙂

There simply must be some mistake.

This can not be possible.

there must be some mistake.

I must check my records.

How, oh how, is it possible that I’ve married a man who has NEVER seen ANY of the Indiana Jones movies? I didn’t know it was possible for a man born in the 70’s in the USA to not have seen them. Seriously. How? Also, how is it that I never knew? He never said anything the 30+ times we’ve ridden the (awesome) Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. How did that experience not make him run home and watch my DVD’s?

One of life’s mysteries I suppose. In addition to this rude awakening I am also going to have to start paying more attention to pop culture I guess. It was only last week, when I was watching my taped Saturday Night Live that I even knew a new movie was coming out. While I go and ponder what else I don’t know about my husband I leave you with this. Maybe the best theme song EVER, and one heck of a fun song to play in band. yes, I was in the school band. and I never got tired of this song. or the Indiana movies. In fact, I think I’m going to watch them tonight and scrapbook. These movies rule.

yum.

You might have guessed, I have a sweet tooth. The main reason I won’t be a size 4 in my life. EVER. Who am I kidding- I’ll never maintain a size 6 either! Sugar. It’s gotta be REAL SUGAR or I’m not interested. Anyhow, I got to have these cookies today at a crop…

They’re soft sugar cookies with fluffy yummy icing on them. You can find them at the grocery stores (big chains) around here and the decor changes with the season. These are decked out for memorial day I think.

In calorie-free yumminess here’s a peek at what I did with that photo of E and Jake…

I can’t show you more because I love it *SO MUCH* that I’m going to use the layout in my layout class that I’m currently developing for Big Picture (hopefully it’ll start in September…)

(almost) Weekend Update:

Notes:

  • WINNERS OF PRIZES I FORGOT TO DRAW UNTIL NOW: Veronica Noechel (book) and Robin TQMnurse (mom’s day surprise). Shoot me an e-mail (may at comcast.net) to claim the prize!
  • Today my little Bex is featured on Fiskars Crafts project of the day
  • Taking a 3 day “unplugged” weekend. I’ll probably sneak on to check e-mail for vital stuff… but other than that I’ll be out enjoying this 100 degree weather. (ugh. so not going to enjoy the heat!!)
  • Had a classic mom moment at the restaurant tonight. Elizabeth ‘refunded’ her meal in the middle of dinner. Ahhh toddlerhood.
  • Heading to a local crop to raise money for the High School Saturday. (did you hear that cropgirl?) 2 crops in the same month- that’s a lot for me. I usually craft away here in my batcave/volcano lair…
  • I got a LOVELY gift (some Cosmo cricket goodies!) from Lisa that I must play with ASAP. Thanks Lisa!!!
  • Did I mention it’s hot? freaky deeky doo. It’s like 100. And last night 82 was the LOW. Tonight I insist on all-night A/C. No way I’m doing the hot air blowing in from outside again. blech!
  • Pics I love from today:

These days her name is scavanger. Seriously the kid eats every and anything left out. We’re careful as we can be… but she’s gotten a taste for real food. And that means baby food days are over. I can barely get her to eat canned stuff now, so I’m starting to give up the ‘neat’ fight and let her do her thing in the highchair.

Baby days are precious and few. Have a great weekend!
