absolutely nothing....

***warning***
this post will be about absolutely nothing in particular... random, if you will.
I'm bored. It's raining. The never-ending sound of my washer and dryer are threatening to put me to sleep. If I eat one more co-co puff I might throw up. so here i am...posting links to help you waste time :-)

THIS is going on today, so if you want some awesome inspiration, start clicking :-)

Megan Joy on American Idol makes me smile. I cannot explain why I love her voice! It is so different and unique...I would by an album by her today.

I *heart* these. They were featured HERE. They make me happy. Unfortunately I did not win one of the sets that were being given away.

Can't stop listening to THIS. Seriously love this new song by Rascal Flatts.

And THIS. Oh this song makes me happy! Love, love it! Check it out...


Oh. My. Goodness. This picture is one of my new favorites. Something about little boys and blue jean butts. Too stinking cute!!! And by the way, this is my nephew... so it's okay.



This IS my favorite picture right now. I took this last weekend when "we" went riding. Remember I use the term "we" loosely. :-) although, I did actually get on the dirt bike last weekend and got taken for a ride. It was seriously fun...I think I might do it again. LOL But this picture was boys playing in the mud... and I think I love it.

Tomorrow is RACE day. Look at my boy Kasey qualifying sixth. Look at Doug's boy Tony qualifying seventh. :-) Should make for an interesting time watching the race, no?

For all my Photoshop buddies... how about some ACTIONS. I found this site. Haven't played here too much but did find a couple really cool ones.

THIS
post on 2Peas nearly made me choke I laughed so hard!!!

Love THIS. and THIS. and THIS. and THIS. oh yeah, and THIS.

I don't even make cards, and I can't stop looking at THIS site. Lovely, lovely stuff here.

THIS is what Nick is watching right now. If you have never seen this movie, go right now and get it. Now. Run.


If you have never seen HER blog, go there now. Oh my goodness, the yummy-ness is everywhere. And links...oh my does she have the blog links...and don't start clicking them unless you have hours to spend drooling. Seriously. You have been warned.

and now that I have helped you waste a fair portion of your day, I will leave you with THIS. I dare you not to laugh.

more later...

Good Grief!

okay, I know what you are thinking.... she doesn't post for months and bam! three times in two days. What the heck is up with that? Yeah, yeah, yeah... deal with it.
Anyway I was feeling kinda scrappy this afternoon and since there was no nASCAR race on today (gasp!) I whipped up a couple of pages...






Some fun pics I took of the boys last spring and am just now scrapping...or maybe scrapping again, I don't really remember. But I basically grabbed a couple sheets of paper and started cutting. I have some pieces left that I am going to try to make a few cards out of and use up the remains. I am trying not to add anything to my scraps drawer and desperately trying to use through my stash of stuff... so my plan is to use up whatever I get out, that way I get pages, cards or mini-books donw and I'm left with piles of half-used stuff. Sounds like a good plan, right? We'll see how it pans out :-)
Well, off to fix supper then back to my scrappy table...
more later...

Busted! Too Funny.
Okay, so I have been a very bad blogger...but in my defense I did move so I have had to deal with packing and unpacking...and kids, and school, and work, and scrapbook stuff, and and and... okay so I'm basically just lazy and haven't posted anything :)
Anyway, about a month ago we had Nick's birthday party at the bowling alley... serious fun. Especially if you are 8.
Check it out...

This little twerp is eight now! When did that happen?


Cosmic bowling does some seriously trippy things to cameras.


Picking just the right ball is a big job that requires much thought.


I have no idea. Seriously, no idea.


Wicked trippy things...



Cheese sticks are required when you go to the bowling alley.



This kid is not right. Just not right. I take no responsibility for this...I have no idea where it comes from...his dad maybe? Television? The bus?



Trippy stuff... very, very.

All in all, a very fun time. Kids loved it. Adults tolerated it. beats a clown and McDonalds any day. :)
Hopefully I can post some scrappy stuff soon...really been itching to do some scrappin' since we have had our class things going again...want to play. But now I must clean and do laundry and all that other non-fun stuff...

More later...
