"Friday Eve" Post

• Loved, loved, loved The Office season premiere!!! Well worth the wait.
• Been looking forward to a presidential debate. Hope that happens tomorrow.
  
• Starting a scrapbooking club at school.
  
• Getting together with her tomorrow for some Chinese food.
• Swapping ATCs with her.
• Bought this tonight. Can't wait to try it out.
• Tomorrow is Friday!
  
• Hubs has a sinus infection and is snoring. I'm probably gonna sleep on the couch tonight. But that's okay, because I like the couch.
• Can't stop listening to this song.
• Reconnected with a good friend tonight. I wish we didn't live so far away from each other.
  

Have a great Friday!
And just so you know, I totally appreciate each and every one of your comments! Don't be shy! :)

Can I share a secret?

One of my favorite bands is Hanson.

Yeah. I said it.

Gotta share my all-time favorite. This is my go-to song when I need a jolt of energy.


And yes, I even like this one. Especially stripped-down like this.


Now that I've got that stuck in your head, have a great weekend! :)

Lola knows a trick

Okay, maybe not, but she's still super cute. Since I haven't really said anything about her lately, I thought a video of her would be fun. Enjoy the cuteness that is Lola. :)

This sums up...

...my Tuesday at work:

The stream-of-consciousness post

Tonight we had dinner at Justix.
So excited about going.
I've been looking forward to it since last weekend.
They had Izze!
The food was a bit bland -- just the way I like it.
Food on a stick is the best. :)

I bought a new dress tonight.
The kind I can wear with jeans.
Love that look.


Tomorrow we're getting up early because Mike is running a 5K.
Then I'm having my Arbonne party.
Love Arbonne.
Last Sunday I bought these to serve my guests.
The bag has been sitting on the counter for a week.
I resisted the urge to open them.
Yay me! :D

Then I'm gonna do some scrapping.
Because I'm on a new design team.
The Pretty Committee.
Cute name. :)
Check it out. Lots of girly fun!

School has been great!
This is the best year ever so far.
Love the new schedule.
There have been a few "squirrley" days.
But the kids have been awesome!

Lola seems to be feeling better.
I think I forgot to mention she was sick.
Tummy issues.
It's been a week since her last episode.
And she's staring at me right now.
Does she know I'm writing about her?!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

A few layouts

I realized today that I haven't posted any layouts in a long time!

First, the August Scrapstars challenge is up. This month's theme was "Hot for Teacher". Of course, I chose hubs! :D


This is last month's "Summer" challenge. Oh, how this song made me want to dance through the halls at school on the last day!


One of my favorite lyrics right now:



I made this one using the Sassafrass Lass insert in this month's Scrapbooks etc. Yay for freebies!



Some painted drywall tape. My cat is an odd creature.

My friend and her daughter (this one made the Catwalk on SIS!):


I made this one today. The magazine clipping came from my NEA magazine. So far the school year is going well! I'm back in my classroom for good (and it looks fabulous!), and I love the new schedule. Oh, and the kids are great, too!


This is what I do when I want to relax. Oolong tea at Paradise Cafe.
Yellow has become my signature color this summer, so I had to put it all over a layout!

For all you bad bloggers out there...

I just found out about the lazy blogger. Hehe - my blogging lapses shall be no more! Here's my generated post:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Holy Cow! I just noticed I have not updated this since long before Shakespeare wast a boy...you would not believe how much more of a drama I could make that. I hope you still love me!

I am so busy with responding to fanmail, choosing my retirement village, and just generally being a delightful mistress to my husband. My day seems to be a litany of stuff and giggles from 4am to 11pm, at which point I fall asleep on the couch. I am not complaining though. Life is good.

I totally promise I will write something that makes sense soon. No, really! What do you mean you don't believe me?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds just like me, right? ;)
