proud mama moment

Trevor, my oldest son and a group of his friends get together and jam whenever they get the chance..they developed a band and actually got a playing gig at a local hangout tonight!..the name of the joint doesnt give a good impression, but it was actually rather OK in there!..(the name is Hell's Kitchen)..the band played original music and was really good and easy to listen to!!.it was fun to see alot of the kid's friends, we havent seen much of them since they graduated. Good Job, Trev..Dad and I are proud of you!

twilight and chopstix!

What a fun day I had on Saturday...I went to go see the new twilight movie and all I can say is Wow!..it was very well done and true to the book..I cant wait to go see it again!..and also for more movies to be made from the other books!

Later that day I went to chopstix with a group of friends and had such a fun time!..good friends and good times!!..altho getting home at midnight is WAY past my bedtime..makes me feel kinda old.

been creating!

I have been busy making my christmas cards and also a little mini album that I intend to do for Christmas...

The cards were pretty much a scraplift from a Stampin Up catalog, and the album was inspired from a mini album I saw at Treasury Of Memories. I will be using it for the 25 days of Christmas class/album theme that Ali Edwards does on her blog. It is a good way to keep Christmas memories and all the fun things, chores and traditions that come during the whole month of December.

Feels good to be ready, a little bit ahead of time for a change!

fun, fun!-(NOT!)

Well, in the ongoing saga of my stomach issue, today I underwent a colonoscopy. I am 46 now and my Dr. has cheefully been doing the 5 year count down till I am 50 and need to have my 1st screening. Well, since the pain has been ongoing and all the other tests have been ok, she said to have the colonoscopy done 4 yrs early...ICK

The actual procedure was not a big deal, the prep wasnt even a big deal- it was going 36 hours with nothing to eat but jello and clear fluids. They now have pills you can take to cleanse the colon, instead of drinking all the icky go litely fluid. The only downside to the pills is you have to take 28 of them!!..20 within one hour and then 8 the next morning..hard, but do-able!!..now do you get the symbolism of the twisty slide in the picture?..lol!!
The good news is that my colon is beautiful and I dont have to have another test like this for 10 more years.

weekend retreat!!

I just got home from a fun weekend scrapbook retreat. I went with an online group I am a part of. We went to Ft Worden State Park, in Port Townsend, WA- where the movie "An Officer and a Gentlemen" was filmed. This is the 3rd or 4th year for us to go there..

I spent alot of time purging my scrap stuff, and went thru everything and if I havent used it in the past year, it went into the garage sale box to take to the retreat. One of the nice things about such a venue, was that there were scrappers of all levels, lots of beginners- so my old stuff was new to them and they loved it all. I sold over $300 worth!!..woohoo!!

I am wiped out, from staying up late and getting up early- but it was so fun to just hoot and holler with friends, we played dominoes and got so silly- my muscles in my throat are actually sore from laughing so much!!

I took the day off tomorrow to recoup and am looking forward to my own bed tonight!

halloween fun!

Trick or Treat was Girl's Game Night...we had so much fun and even though we didnt trick or treat, we had a good time being silly!..lol..Roger told me I looked good with big hair!!..I think I look like thing 1 or thing 2 from Dr Seuss!!
