I love my life

This past weekend I had so much fun hanging with some friends and learning to play LRC. LRC stands for Left, Right, Center. It's a dice game that is very easy to play but definitely gets you laughing especially when you've had too much to drink and you can't remember which is your right or left. LOL! We didn't make it home until after 4am Friday night because we were having so much fun.

Saturday I chilled at the house with my boys. It was nice to just be home. I was able to stay in my scrapbook room all day long and just play until my heart was content. I started making a special top secret project for our new website. I almost have it finished. I can't wait to launch our debut. Shhhhh, this is all very secretive...but you know me. I can't keep a secret for too long. (hint...hint)

Sunday I woke up at 6am. Yeah, you heard me right. Me....up at 6am. Oh, I am sooooo not a morning person. It took all my strength to get my lazy butt out of the bed and into the shower. You know, I think that the hot water heater has got to be one of the greatest inventions of all time. God bless the person that came up with that idea....kudos to whomever you are! So, after my shower we get all geared up and jump on our bikes. It was only 36F degrees when we left the house. I made the mistake of not putting on my winter gloves and by the time we went 20 minutes down the road to meet up with a friend I was ever so eager to rummage through my saddle bag to find them and put them on. We then met up with about 50+ other SCRC friends and spent the entire day riding over this beautiful state of TN. It warmed up rather quickly. Before noon we were all pulling off our layers of clothing and stuffing them in our saddlebags. It ended up being a very beautiful 73F degree day. We had so much fun and didn't end up getting home until after 6pm.

Here is a layout I made of me on my bike using the current Scrapbook Obsessions kit.

Monday after work I came home, hopped on my bike, and headed out for a few hours on my own. Today the plans I had were canceled so instead I plan on spending it outside playing in the beautiful foothills of TN on my motorcycle. God I love my life!

Suck It Up!

Ok, it's been a while since my last post. Obviously, as I am sure you have all discovered I'm not too good at this blog thing. It's not that I don't want to be, it's just that my procrastination gets in the way. How on earth can a girl get everything done when she waits until the last minute? Ha! Ha!

I have become addicted to a little online game on Facebook called Mousehunt. It is a game that can be played without taking up too much of your time...or so it seems in the beginning. See, the concept of the game is that all you have to do is bait your trap and press the button to go on a hunt. Sometimes a mouse will succumb to your trap, other times it won't. You can only press the button once every 15 minutes so it's not like you have to sit there and play the game constantly. Well, that's what they WANT you to believe. In reality, you discover that you can play this game all day long while still working, cleaning your house, cooking dinner, etc. but soon you find yourself living your life in 15 minute intervals. "Do I have enough time to go take a shower before I can press that button again?" "I've really got to go to the bathroom but I know that if I just wait one more minute my horn will appear again and I can press it." Pretty soon I feel as though I may start sleeping in 15 minute intervals too. LOL!

Hmmm, what else is going on in my life? Oh, I cried. Yeah, I'm not a big emotional person. I don't pour on the tears very often. I usually hold it all in and put on my big girl panties and pretend that all is good in the world...but last week I cried. It wasn't a big "boo-hoo" sobby cry but it was tears none the less. You wanna know what brought it on? I took my son to his Freshman Orientation at the high school. We went inside the gym and were instructed to find seats and wait for the presentation. We get seats at the top against the wall and all is good with the world. Then the lights go out except for a spotlight. Smoke is starting to drift across the gym floor. The cheerleaders run out with their pom poms high in the air. Then the music starts to play, it's the marching band...they begin playing the Riverdale Warriors school anthem. Everyone in the crowd starts to do the "Indian Chop" with their arm. Na...Na...Nanana....Nanana....Nanannaaaaa.... OMG! All the memories of me attending this school and now the realization that my youngest child will now be enrolled here is just too much emotion hitting me at once. I feel a tear well up in my eye. I blink. I blink again. It doesn't help. Soon both eyes are watery. I feel the wetness run down my cheek. I use my scarf and wipe my eyes. Surely no one noticed. It was dark. OMG! My baby is going to high school!!!
