Last night I stole away to IHOP with hetterrific Heather for some BLT (though I did have a salad - not french fries) and a cocoa. As it turns out, our waitress thought we were finished, and she never came back to our table to we could add on our cocoas. We decided to finish our gabbing at Heather's house, and we watched Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone while scrapbooking and enjoying some of Heather's cocoas. I scrapped one page, and I'm very pleased with it.

This morning, I journaled on the page from last night, and I scrapped two more pages. I chose to work on Easter 2005 last night, and I used the new Parfait Album Kit for these pages. I wanted to have some pages done with this new Parfait/Confections/Toppings collection so that I'll have some things to show at my Memoranza™ event for Creative Memories® later on this month. I love the pale blue, chocolate and petal pink combination - so pretty! I didn't journal on the pages before stopping this morning, as I didn't have my stickers and accessories with me. I might finish that up tonight.

The Kenny Chesney concert is just two days away - wheee! af_cop Philip is pretty excited as well. It's surreal to think that I will have seen Kenny Chesney perform twice in less than one year. I can't wait.

I received a very cute birth announcement in the mail today from my cousin Jenny. Once again, how in the world had no one even told me she was pregnant again? I didn't learn about her first baby, Katie, until she was born, and I didn't hear word of Nicholas until the announcement arrived today... and he'll be one month old tomorrow! He's cute as a button, though. Also, they used those nifty photo stamps on the envelopes - I think those are so cool. I've looked into doing them myself, but yikes! The prices!

March!

Holy shamrocks, it's March! How did that happen so fast?

Still, I was prepared for the month. I flipped my HP calendar over to March just before heading to bed last night, not able to wait even a second longer. March = Slytherin, you see, and Slytherin = my green babe of eye candy. Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmmmmalfoy!

I forgot for a moment what day today was until picking up Jack at preschool. I was alarmed for a bit to see him sporting a big bruise on his forehead, but when I asked him about it, he informed me that it was a cross instead. "Cross?", I asked myself. "Oh! Cross!" He'd been Ash-ed on Wednesday, you see. "Pastor David ashed me today!"

I placed my Creative Memories order tonight, and as such, I earned my 30-day Success incentive. Between the new stuff coming and the super-cool watch I received last week, I'm all sorts of excited about my new business! I've got to pin down a date for Memoranza for certain, and then get to work on these postcards.

I think I've got the tiniest bit of windburn from earlier today. Still, we had fun outside once more, and I will be sad to see this awesome weather leave for a little bit.

I had another fairly relaxing day today. I woke up with no trace of dizziness, and that was a blessing. I put my contacts in again (I've been wearing my glasses for months). I just really took things easy. I did a few loads of laundry, made easy meals (leftovers for lunch, grilled chicken for dinner) and made a dent in the pile of Reader's Digests in the bathroom. I sat outside in the swing for an hour and a half, and I wore jeans shorts for the first time this year.

I'm going through Olympics-withdrawal, however, and it feels awful. :-(

I'm going to sort through some things and get my Creative Memories order ready for tomorrow. I was already in bed by this time last night, and I'm sure I'll get to bed semi-early tonight as well. It feels nice to be well-rested.

I babysat minivan_mom Jamie's two children today for a little while when she went to her first OB appointment. They were perfectly behaved, and I made some cookies while they were here. When she came to get them, I got to see the first ultrasound picture of their little bun, and it was so cute!

I think my uterus might have twitched for a moment, but don't worry - the moment passed. ;-)

It was a gorgeous day today, and the boys and I were outside for a long while this afternoon. Jan stopped by for a bit, and Cole played with the boys while Rachel hung out. Rachel will be babysitting for me tomorrow for a little while during lunch. I'm heading to Art Chicks for a get-together, and I'm excited for that. Philip will be at Runza during that time, and the boys just love having Rachel here. We're heading to the commissary early in the morning so they can pick out special lunches for tomorrow.

I got my new Scraps magazine from Creative Memories, and some of the new stuff is so pretty. I find myself just itching to scrapbook so much now! I plan on doing some tomorrow night, too (and watching my dear Apolo Anton Ohno in his final two races, of course!). I finished twelve pages last Saturday during my scrap-a-thon with hetterrific Heather and starrchld Annie, and I'm anxious to keep going.

Speaking of scrapbooking, I spent a little while today writing out thank-you notes for the eight orders I've already received. I'm mailing a box of CM goodies to West Virginia tomorrow morning as well - my mother-in-law Nancy has gotten several orders together with her friends, and I know she's ready to get her hands on all this new stuff!

Well, I'm off to watch a bit more Olympics and fold the load of laundry that I just finished (I've done one load at night for each of the past two nights, and I rather like keeping on top of it that way).

Okay, maybe not delivered yet... rather, it will go out in the mail tomorrow. Still, you are now looking at the newest Creative Memories consultant!

*squeeee*

This is the company I've been using for my scrapbooking since the very beginning. I was invited to a CM class on Thanksgiving Eve 1999, and I've never looked back. Now begins a new portion of my life - as a consultant for the company rather than just the customer.

I'm excited! My mother-in-law wants me to do a catalog show for her while I'm there next week, so I'll jump right in. :-)
