Wow, it's been a few months shy of a year since my last post. Oh well, stuff happens. Just wanting to post some of my newest creations I've done lately with Paint Shop Pro. I'm currently taking lessons on creating stationery for IncrediMail and I'm doing rather well. The name of the group is Creative Minds IM Stats 101 & it's at yahoo if any of y'all are interested. I was going to post some headers to show what I've been up to, but that's called "ripping" and I don't want to do that to myself! haha I'll just post a few PSP creations I've done lately.

I'm trying to think of another blog cuz this name is too common. I just googled it and a ton of blogs and sites with the same name popped up. Rats! I'll figure something out.

Toodles!

Oink! Oink! Squeaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllll!

Oh no! I have the Swine Flu! Just kidding...but I'm really sick of hearing about it. I guess I wouldn't be saying that if I or someone close to me had it, but people COME ON! There are deaths every year from regular flu...this is no different. How many people get the flu vaccine? I don't have any numbers to quote, but it's A LOT. How many people STILL GET THE FLU? Tons. The media sucks.

Ok, enough ranting. I'm on Day 2 of getting back to the basics of EATING RIGHT. I've actually followed my ADA diet for 2 whole days (ok well tonight I splurged a little on the protein, but that BBQ chicken is so good!) I feel so much better when I eat like I'm supposed to. I've also decided to give up on all the artifical sweeteners, except those that are natural (Stevia, Xylitol, Agave nectar, etc.) Did you know the fake stuff affects you just as bad as the real thing does? So what's the point? It's all bad for you, too...

Ok that's it for now...I'm too sleepy to blog. lol

Peace!

P.S. Our trip back to Canada was great! Sandusky (Cedar Point) is the best amusement park I've ever been to, even tho it rained. I have to go back. HAVE TO, because we didn't get to ride enough stuff. That damn rain...I'm over it, but eager to return!

Monday 8/10/09

I'm about to head 2 bed for work tonight. I've been awake since last night and before that since the a.m. It's hard switching back and forth between night shift and day shift when I'm off. I can't WAIT to be back on days. I haven't worked any days in almost 2 months. I truly like working w/ the night shifters, but my body is taking a toll.

We're leaving to head back up to Canada on Sunday, the 19th...in just 6 days and some hours. We're making a detour to Sandusky, Ohio to surprise the kids with a trip to Cedar Point, a huge amusement park. We'll be there 2 nights. It's going to take almost a whole day to get there...again. Joy. Then on Wednesday morning, we'll hit the road again and travel another 8 hours to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and spend 2 more days there, hopefully stay somewhere FREE OF CHARGE. I'll get to see a CLEAR LAKE. Yip yip! They're just muddy down here. I think we may visit w/ more of Scott's family and then we'll make our way back down...again. I sure hope his ex-wife moves closer to Toronto so we can fly his kids back and forth. It'll be SO MUCH EASIER and not really too pricey to do so. We wouldn't have to take much time off work anymore either.

Thoughts lately:
*I wonder if we have the winning Powerball ticket this week.
*I'm sleepy.
*I'm hungry.
*Mmmmmm chocolate.
*I think I'll read that last Harry Potter book again.
(As you can see, there's not much going through my peabrain at the moment.)

Take care all!

At work again...

Less than 3 hours to go in my shift, and then I'm off 3 days for the weekend. I think Thursday was the beginning of PMS week, so I'm a bit crabby. I really HATE when I feel that way. I don't like being mad for no reason. I know hormones are good for a lot of things, but at times like these, they suck. I did get 2 for 1 Dove dark chocolate at the grocery store yesterday morning. :oD And let's not forget the chocolate ice cream...speaking of which, ice cream is NOT cheap, not even the cheap brand. Jeez!

Thoughts for today:
*I'm so glad I'm off this weekend.
*Do I really want to go to that hot air balloon festival tonight? It's going to be SO hot. Yuck.
*I really need to get back to going to the gym.
*Trueblood rocks!
*Will my hip EVER stop hurting...I sure hope so, but I sincerely doubt it. :o(

I really can't think of anything else to say, so I guess that's it for now. Have a great weekend everyone! ::K::

Another 1st entry

Talking is something I'm good at...to put it in my parents' words (when I was a kid),"Do you ever shut up?" No not really. If I'm not talking out loud, I'm talking inside my head, but when it comes to putting all of those thoughts down on paper or, in this case, in a blog, I just forget. I guess to have room for all of those words in my head, I have to push out the remember cells. lol Anyway, there will be times when I might post everyday, more than once a day, and then not for a week or more. It just means I'VE FORGOTTEN.

Thoughts for today, right now:
*I hope I remember to go to that balloon festival on Friday evening. Damn it's going to be hot.
*I don't really feel like going to Blue Bayou AGAIN on Saturday, but I want to get the most out of those season passes.
*I can't forget to stop at the grocery store on the way home for bread & ice cream. CHOCOLATE ice cream :oD
*Ugh...3 more hours of work.
*I'm hungry and all I have to eat are an apple, an orange and some string cheese. :o
*I have to get stuff ready for card club next week...I really don't want to do this anymore.
*I'm still hungry.

I think that's all I'm thinking of for now. It's weird how we can think all of those things at the same time, and NONE of them have anything to do with the other. Brains are cool.
