GIVE UP TWO PEAS! ARE YOU CRAZY???!!!

I also received this last week..... from one of the Peas who gave up TwoPeas for Lent. :0) THANK YOU!

Neener neener neeeeeeeeeener.

I got cookies.

they were a bit squished, as if the post man had done a little dance on the boxes. the peanut butter ones were completely crumbled up, so i know the postman had to have pretended the box was a drum. but they are still YUMMY.
Thank you SQ!!

peg graham

Peg, I am sorry. I *DID* get the recipeas book you sent to me. It was sitting underneath a mountain of catalogs that i have sitting on my desk right now. i didn't have a lot of time to go through it yet, but it looks very yummy!! thank you very much for sending one my way. :) and I am sorry that i didn't get to it sooner.

We Make Me Laugh

this week has been a super fun week. because we have been funny as all get out. i think we have laughed twice as much this week as we did last week. even jeff said he wanted to come work downstairs with us (kathy, jamie, and I are on the warehouse floor, and the boys are upstairs) because we are all in the best moods and are having so much fun this week. I just love it when we are having so much fun. We Make Me laugh. and I love it. and i am so incredibly happy to be with these people all day.

On top of that. I just love Jamie. She is my bestest friend. I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to spend everday with her. even when we didn't work together (which was only maybe 3 years out of the last 11), we talked on the phone everyday. We are linked. our auras are linked.
I told her this week that *everyone* in the world needs a Jamie in their life. everyone. If I could bottle a bit of Jamie and sell it, I would give it to everyone I know. :)

working

working on National Scrapbooking Day stuff this week. its going to be a fun day. :0)

27

in the last month, i have done 27 layouts. it makes me so happy. i am so glad to be creating. i have been working on a box of photos from Jack's 1st year, that i have never taken the time to go back and scrap. it has been so nice. working in my office, with a movie on in the background. this weekend, i did 5 layouts a day. and some during the week last week while i was home with the kids (spring break). what a good feeling that is. to see this pile of pages done. some of them were pages of things that i just had on my mind, things with arianna that i needed to get out before i forgot about them. a conversation that i had with jack a couple of weeks ago.
nice.
i like that feeling.

i spent some time today uploading layouts to albums here. and i have to say that it was a frustrating experience.

a few weeks ago, i finished my christmas journal. i was going to do the art journal and just never got around to signing up. but i decided to do a journal so that i could get everything down on paper. it is not a work of art by any means. but it is so wonderful to have it all written out---the things that we did. the traditions that we have. the way we spent our days. i did it in a spiral bound 8.5x11 book that i picked up at archivers on clearance. i wish now that i had picked up several more. because now i want to do a few more albums like this. where i worried less about the composition and more about what i wanted to write. inside the front cover is a calendar that i created and wrote on all through the season to keep track of what we did over the month. I took photos of it a few weeks ago and attempted to make a contact sheet of the images. i am sorry that there are img numbers underneath each image. i am still learning i guess.

this whole time thing

this whole time switch-a-roo-y is messing with me. its darker out when i get up. its still nice and light outside at 7:15pm. i know it won't last. but it is frustrating trying to stay on track when it "feels" weird. you know?

apologies

i am working on creating some albums and some other things on here. please excuse me while i try to figure this out. i am making a mess right now. at some point, i imagine it will look nice and neat and tidy again. hang on. ok?

my today

my today consisted of.... driving Jack to daycare. listening to the Killers on the way there. he really likes that album. he is fun. He grabbed the dinosaurs as soon as we got to school---he told me all about them yesterday and how playing with them was his favorite part of the day yesterday. he makes me smile.
going to work out.... listening to Right Here by Staind on the way there, and then Long December by Counting Crows. as soon as I got to the gym, I played the whole Gavin Degraw Cd while I worked out.
from the gym to work, i started my Running Playlist. since i can't run still, it made me sad to listen to it. but i love the list.....this is the core of it. i add to it all the time. i always have the Calling song first and then stick other songs in right after that first one. i have to always start with the same song. and end with the same last few. so i have to stick the other ones in between to make it longer. :)

Wherever You Will Go -The Calling
If You Could Only See - Tonic
You Wanted More - Tonic
Falls On Me - Fuel
Hemorrhage (In My Hands) - Fuel
Bad Day - Fuel
Tomorrow Never Comes - Big Head Todd & the Monsters
Groove Thing - Big Head Todd & the Monsters

Worked on a lot of paperwork today, for stuff coming up. and doing a lot of planning. packed up boxes of products and shipped them out to the ggs. it was a good day.
