Today I got the school store opened for business! It was a pretty successful day too. We did $75 in one hour. Not too shabby. I think we'll have a better turn out on Tuesday as more of the kids realized we were open today. I didn't put out a memo as I didn't want the volunteers to be overwhelmed like last year. It was steady but manageable. I love doing it!! Then I had my yearly girl appointment. ...

This morning was the first chilly morning we've had and I'm loving every minute of it! I love being bundled up and feeling all warm and cozy.=] This is my favorite time of year.=]

Who me? Sarcastic? I’ve always been a bit sarcastic, though I personally think I just have a hilarious sense of humor that not everyone gets. If you know me and still like me, then you can tolerate – maybe even appreciate my particular brand of humor. However I find that strangers don’t always get me and I can come across as well, rude. It hasn’t always been this way...

Today we saw the doctor for the first time since Mom's first chemo treatment. She had her blood work up yesterday and the numbers were not good. Mom has almost no white blood cells left...this is not good! He has started her on another dose of a white blood cell builder. She got a shot today and will get another one tomorrow and he has placed her on an antibiotic to protect her from any infe...

I woke up this morning to a most wonderful day. I went for a walk with my hubby and took in all the beauty of the changing colours of Fall. We watched the reflection of the trees dancing on the water in the gentle breeze. The air was fresh and clean, the sun was shining and it felt good to be moving in the open spaces again. I love to walk and am planning to walk a little each day to keep ...

Hello, I'm having a rough time deciding on my take for the contest. I'll probably do one on decluttering, my lack of fashion, obsession or.....................(?)

I've been scrappin, but oh is it hard for me to move fast. I feel like I don't get enough done every time I sit down and scrap. I take so long to decide what to do, when to do it, how to do it....I just don't know why I take so long, when I basically have all the materials and pictures I need.... Anyways, I've been keeping my blog at blogger.com updated (if you want to visit my site it's http://sm...

Long before I got into scrapbook, one of my hobbies was building a search engine for kids. The web site is called Spike2000.com. During the past three years, updating the web site had taken a back seat to my current hobby. Scrapbooking. Recently, I decided to give my web site a makeover and turn it into a web blog. Now my web site is a web blog about scrapbooking. I share photos of some of my...

Ideally I would love to lose 100 pounds. Now most people look at me and don't think so and I can even fool the people at the carnivals who try to guess my weight, but the scale does not lie. And it is time for me to stop lying to myself. I have been working out and I really enjoy it. I made up my own little routine. Once I get twenty pounds off I am either going to buy a stationary bike or a tr...

Eric went to his first day of clinicals to a nursing home. He spent most of the first day having lecture, being shown around, and meeting the staff. He met his patient for about 1/2 hour that day. She is an 86 year old woman from Alabama who's in a wheelchair and has dementia. Her hands are gnarled up so she has trouble with simple tasks like eating and getting dressed. Their first meeting we...

The room is ready, his ...

If you are interested, please pm me your email address and I'll send you the questionnaire. (I need them back by October 24th). Thanks for your help! Catherine (por...
