Well, after a night of chatting and a glass of wine, I am feeling not so BLAH. Still not 100% myself, but better. I have a busy weekend and I am hoping that decorating for the Christmas season will get me up in spirit! I love Christmas. I love decorating and it does take a full 12 hours of hard work to get my house ready. I have 3 trees (2 artificial and 1 real), several mini trees and a crap load of decos....but I love it!
Now I enroll my kids as my bitches. They get to carry everything upstairs and help unpack. They also know they get to decorate their one tree but no one touches Mommy's tree!!!!
I will post some pics when I am done. Thanks girls for chatting, watching Grey's and eating Turtle Brownies with me.
Another fantastic story I need to share which has inspired me to go to the gym over the weekend and next week is my girlfriend Kelly. Take a read, totally worth while! I am very proud of her, and very proud to see what she has worked so hard for!!!

A LA BLAH
I am well, feeling blah. I am not sure of anyone out there feels like this every once in awhile. I am not inspired, I am tired, overwhelmed, under appreciated, annoyed and flat out pissy. To be honest I am totally not sure why. I am just blah.
I am trying to boost my energy and get rid of the negative shit but I have not succeeded yet. I am trying to organize my next crop which is Dec. 14. I am excited because I have my make and take idea ready and I think its cute. I have already 9 confirmed guests. You would think woohoo right? Nope. Just a wo.....still waiting for the rest of the woohoo.
I have done some Christmas shopping. I have done lots of on-line shopping but still have made it out to the stores. I am even excited with what I bought but again, I am feeling the wo......still waiting for the rest.
I have completed almost all of my calendar gifts and even made my husband a book for Christmas and I am probably a bit more woo....but again still waiting for my woohoo.
Not sure why, maybe its PMS???? Maybe I am getting old and shit and my hormones are all "WTF"??? Or is it something bigger? Is it, a change, something unsettling going to happen, need a holiday for a brain refresh????
I feel guilty alot lately too. Guilty for ever decision I make, and it is making me crazy too. Again, no idea why?
Anyways, I thought I would share my blah day(s). I know someone who is reading this will say "yeah I get like that", perhaps some will say "grow up bitch and move on" or even "cheer up girl". Whatever you think, let me know. Sometimes, it is helpful to think you are not the only one, and even get a good kick in the ass.

A Fun Night
It's been awhile since I blogged, and to be honest it is because I have not had a crop or done much scrapbooking. I figured I had nothing to write about, but then, the other night a group of my girlfriends, all of whom are my scrappy girls planned a well deserved night out. We began the night at my place, where we ordered chinese and drink wine. We drank, 4 x 1litre bottles of wine and there was only 5 of us drinking at my place. Our dinner was good, however, I was disappointed with the soup. I love hot and sour soup but I only love the soup I get at this place on Bronson. I have no idea what the name is but I will get back to you with it, cause the soup ROCKS there! Anyways, back to my story. We left at 10:30pm, not to go to a bar although that would be fun, instead we headed to our reserved seats for TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART 2!!!! Yes, I am a Twi-hard. I however, play both teams. I love Edward for his romantic side and pretty eyes, but I love me my Jacob for his damn fine abs! To say I was excited about seeing the movie and a little tipsy from the wine was an understatement. As soon and the movie started I was in heaven. Then, OMG, WTF, Holy Shit....yes I cursed and loudly. My girlfriend beside me was almost in tears, we look at each other dazed and confused........then "le sigh". My heart beat went back to normal, I resumed my cheering for Bella and Edward and of course wiped the drool of my chin for Jacob. We walked out of the theatre happy and to be honest spent. I felt exhausted from the emotional ride of Edward and Bella. Knowing this maybe the last Twilight movie makes me sad. It's like Harry Potter, I believe there will be another---will it ever be the same, no. But, hey, I am the woman that believes in fairies and talking stuffies so what the hell do I know. I do recommend seeing this movie in a theatre, in fact I would pay again to see it. I also recommend having some drinks with the ladies before hand cause it was kinda fun being a bit tipsy walking into a theatre. This is not a date night movie girls. This is time for you to dream, drool, and be with friends. You need to go with your girlfriends or sisters. It's not a guys movie althought I did not hear the guys at this movie complain to much that is for sure.
On a side note. I am planning my next crop. I even have a make and take planned. I am just getting over this cold that has seriously kicked my ass. I will be in touch, but in the mean time, have a glass of wine, or a few, and go see Twilight with your girlie girls just cause its fun!

Mom and Me scrap
I had a great day today with all my little people and their Mommies. I had 11 children and 7 Mom's here today. It was great to walk around and watch the pages these little people created. It is even more fun when we get to hear the stories about their pictures from them. I made each one a little make and take character and a mini album made out of a 12x12 piece of card stock.
I was pleased to have some veterans return and very excited to welcome some new little ones to my home. What was funny is the new ones (and the youngest of the bunch) worked the longest! They made their pages for almost the entire 3 hours.
My son Connor made a Christmas gift for his older cousin for Christmas, and my youngest daughter Cayla made one for her Zio (Uncle). It was really nice to look back over the pictures they were working on. My nephew has MD and has been confined to a wheelchair for about 5 years now. My son was looking at his pictures and was sad when he seen pictures of my cousin walking and swimming. I would lie if I said that the comments did not pull at my heart strings. They have grown so use to seeing him in his wheelchair that he forgot he did have a chance to walk before. I did however, point out to Connor that if he did not have his wheelchair he would not get to have the occasional ride on it either, which made him smile.
I am looking forward to Christmas and seeing their faces when they open their homemade gifts, and can look back at all the fun times they share together.
I will be scheduling my next Crop and hopefully getting in a digital learning session within the next couple of weeks, so be sure to message me if you want to learn more about the amazing time you can have scrapbooking. Pictures will follow everyone!

Tea Reading
Tomorrow night I have having a couple of ladies over for a tea reading. My sweet, crazy and loving Auntie Laura is coming over with her magic tea leaves, all the way from Ireland to read everyone's leaves. Now for those who have not done anything like this, you have too. Its fun, interesting, and an excuse to sit and chat with some friends.
My Aunt Laura came to Canada with 4 children and my Uncle many moons ago, but sounds like she just got off the boat. My Mom often says that people choose to lose their accents or keep them. Now my Aunt is proud to be Canadian but is just as proud of her Irish heritage. I have probably learned more about Ireland, and my family from her, than my own Mom. She started reading tea leaves a long time ago and does it just for fun. BUT, she does ROCK. Every time she has read my leaves, everything has been bang on! I am so excited to hear about what she has to say. She will always say "Now ladies this is just for fun, don't take anything seriously". I agree, but still its cool. So, if you haven't done anything like this, I suggest going to a palm reader, or have your cards read, or see a medium because its better than going to a movie or out for dinner with the girls hands down. I will let you know how it goes and what is said.
On a different note, I worked a bit on my Mom and Me scrap that is on Sunday. I made mini paper albums using a 12x12 cardstock. They are so cute. I am going to try and "upload" some pics this weekend. I may need some help from my Techy but I am sure she won't mind.
'Til tomorrow........fingers crossed its all good leaves!
