Well, the last 11 days sure flew by ...

My, how time flies. April already. The snow I mentioned in my previous post is all gone, and there are almost no dirty snow bumps left on the ground (and none at all in my yard).

Random info coming your way ...

1. The boy brought an excellent report card home. Nothing lower than a B, and several A's and A+, and lovely comments from his teacher.

2. Sens are now officially out of the playoffs. There are 5 games left to the season, including a couple at home. Wondering about attending one last game ... or waiting until the new season starts.

3. The boy's hockey team is currently in round robin for playoffs ... tied the first game 3-3 (they were losing 3-0 when the boy finally scored after making multiple shots on net, and that changed the momentum of the game). Lost the second game 7-1 (the boy scored his team's only goal). So while the team is kind of doing so-so, I'm really proud of how the boy has been playing - will all his heart into it. Sens could learn from this kid.

4. I was out of town for a couple of days this week on an executive planning retreat. It was the best planning meeting we've ever had (and I've been with that Branch 6 years). We used a facilitator with team building/coaching experience and tht made a huge difference (also, a huge dent in the budget, but worth it).

5. I had the biggest migraine ever yesterday and went to the clinic after work. Turns out I have excess fluid in both ears, and inflammation, but not an infection. Doctor prescribed nose spray and Advil cold & sinus plus. Funny thing is, I don't hav a cold and my allergies really haven't been bugging me. ?? The meds have helped though, the migraine has dulled to a bad headache. Why am I on the computer then? Good question. Should go back to bed seeing as though I decided to stay home sick from work today.

6. I still haven't found the camera cord to hook up the camera to the computer. I keep forgetting to ask the kids about it. Although I did ask the dog.

7. Haven't done much scrapping, but someone is coming by tonight to scope out the work involved in building an extra closet in our bedroom so that I can take over the entire closet in the spare room. We've decided not to include a desk in the closet. Instead, I'm going to make it all scrap storage, and set up a banquet table in the room which I can just take down when we have overnight guests. The desk I have in there right now just doesn't have enough surface room for scrapping comfortably ... my tools end up on my lap, on the floor, etc. It would be just as bad if I tried to have a desk IN the closet.

Here's the last layout I completed ... I've already posted it on the gallery at Scrapbook Centrale, as it was for a challenge (to scrap childhood pics of yourself).


These are pictures of me at 9 years old, on a trip to Florida with my parents. Gotta love the groovy 1970's hotel room!!! I started out using My Mind's Eye patterened paper as my inspiration, and happened to go to Michaels before the layout was completely finished ... ended up buying about $40 worth of Making Memories Chloe's Closet pp and embellies because it was in the same colour palette and so I used a few MM embellies on this LO too.

That's it for now. Just wanted to assure you all that I was still alive. Have a great weekend!
