ahhhhhh!!! its FRIDAY!!!!

Its friday and its a 3 day weekend! thank you martin luthur king! I have been soo lazy, and now its time to kick myself into high gear. Ive got all my christmas bins back in the house,in the kitchen, in the livingroom and on the front porch! they are everywhere! I just need to get it together and fill them up. Part of my dragging my feet is that then I have to redecorate.. and as much fun as it is.. its also stressful, because it takes time and there are so many other things i want to do too! And, I'm not even sure where everything is! The exciting part is I can get out all my Valentine stuff! so when I get off the computer shortly, I'll be digging in!

I wonder if you can eat too much popcorn? remember pigpen from charlie brown? I am popcornpen! everywhere I've been there is popcorn around me! at work.. the kitchen, my craft room.. the living room! I am a popcorn pig! My house is a mess.. I cant wait to get it back in order this weekend.

I wont be doing any shopping.. as Im on a spending freeze! (dear god.. please help me not to spend anymoney this weekend! LOL!) I really do need some new pants though.. almost all mine are really big for me , except for some really old ones! So though I shouldnt be out shopping I do have some other plans for tomorrow

first.. to the gym and on the treadmill for an hour then I'm going to breakfast with a dear friend, then to another dear friends annual "howmanyornamentsdoesshehaveonhertree party"! and then to another dear friends house tomorrow night for girls night! The rest of the weekend I'm crafting and finishing up some swap things.

Frannie is still pregnant! ... I'm sure they will come this weekend. .. uh huh.. right frannie?? OMG! I'm just soo darn excited! last night I took her in my room to show her the new box where I want her to have her babies.. Figgy was trying to get in so I closed him out of the room and told him Frannie and I were having a little "girl time" my son and hubby think I'm nuts. (probably am).

One more thing before I go.. Look what came in todays mail! Sweet Sandy from sandyscreations, sent me for valentines day! Thank you so much Sandy.. Look at the ornie below with figgy and frannies pics in it! how stinking cute!

Alrighty then.. off I go to take christmas apart.. and to make tacos too!

still waiting!

NO kittens yet!! but shes not due til sunday! soon soon soon! The poor thing is so big! I think she might burst! these pics are from the other day.. shes bigger now! I'll try to get a good pic tonight!

Remember when frannie and figgy looked like this?? this is what their babies will look like! I cant wait!

gotta go to work now... oh joy! see yas later!

oh LAZY bones!

no pictures tonight! Im just making a quick stop in. I wanted to let you know that according to weight watchers I have now lost 33.6 pounds total. and according to work (were playing the biggest loser again) I ve lost 35 pounds. I think I'm going to go with weight watchers, i think they are the "professionals". And so what did little miss piggy have for dinner tonight? 2 large heavy pieces of pizza and 3 chicken wings dipped in blu cheese. I figure that was about 35 points! seriously! But thats ok.. I still had about 14 left for today and I hadnt touched any of the extra 35 I get for the week. Now tomorrow starts a new week. Tuesdays are my day to have a little extra. I didnt get to stay for the weight watchers meeting after weighing in, nor did I get to go to the gym. I had to work and had to go find a place in the dark.. I ended up having to call our local sheriffs dispatch and they told me where i was going, because I couldnt see any house numbers and it was out in the country! anyways, generally I dont talk about work at all here, as I just dont think its a good idea.. believe me if I did, I could tell some stories. but due to confidentiality, I dont. But I do have to tell you about tonight! I get to this house and the lady lets me in, then I see one of her daughters holding something.. and I squealed.. OH MY GOD! and I scared the poor lady.. she thought something was wrong. Nothing was wrong though.. her daughter was holding a 9 week old pug puppy! OMG.. I could barely contain myself or do my job! the little girl put him in my lap.. and I melted! I guess seeing that sweet little puppy made up for having to work tonight.. someday, I just have to have one! I was dying to go get my camera to take his picture.. but that just wouldnt have been right now would it!?
Frannie is still pregnant.. I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting!
I have a confession to make! I have gotten very lazy this week.. Im hoping that its just because I havent felt good, but I've let things pile up here! I still have not put laundry away, the bathroom needs to be cleaned, vacuuming needs to be done. And, Christmas really needs to be put away. I just dont feel like doing any of it though. I really am ready for Christmas to be put away, but its such a big job.. Oh well, I have a three day weekend this weekend and I wont be on call anymore come friday.. and of course I'm on a spending freeze, so shopping shouldnt get in the way. I should be able to stay home and do what I need to do! And ofcourse I have projects to work on !
OK.. probably boring you here! going to bed now.. nightie night!

a friends fun birthday party post and giveaway!

go HERE! Sweet B's folk art for a SWEET TREAT.. take your toothbrush.. you'll probably get a cavity just from hanging around there! Be sure to wish her a happy birthday and enter her giveaway, or really dont enter her giveaway, as it will give me a better chance to win myself!

Not feeling well at all, but I have so much work to do. I think I might actually have a slight fever. so anyways, off to work, then to weight watchers, then to the treadmill, then home to watch TV! Yes.. its TV time for vivian.. American idol starts tonight. I must admit I'm an idol junkie. My poor husband hates it. But its really about the only time I watch tv. keep your fingers crossed for the numbers on the scale to be down some more! they should be! In fact.. It might be a good night to splurge on some pizza! Oh.. and I'm not sure how I feel about ellen being on the show.. but I do like her. When Simon goes next season, I probably will quit watching .. I love simon!
toodles ! see yas later!

Been playin!

Remember all this fun wool? Well, when I wasnt working on call this weekend, I was playing in this box! And, making this mess! I did clean my craft room up this afternoon.. and i made some chicken salad.. but thats all I did. I never even put the laundry away!

I finished up these little mice. I named them something.. but I cant remember what the heck I named them! I think it was tilly and who knows what the heck the boys name was!! eiy yie yie! this memory is horrible!

I made these little friends using those little candle mobob things.. And by the way I did go and buy the rest of them. there were 20 more ! Terri.. if you email me your address, I'll send you some. I thought they would be gone, but must be no one else had any ideas of what to do with them!! good for me!

I also had to make a gnome after being inspired by elizabeth and Paula.. This one will be on his way to live with my sweet E .

I have a few packages going out tomorrow! Surprises for a few friends and some swappy things!

Thats all for tonight I think. Im pooped out and I have a bit of a back ache. I think I'm going to go have a little snacky and some hot choc.. still have points to use up today!

OH !!! Frannie is huge! I took some pics of her, they're on flickr if you want to see them. She's due a week from today, if I figured correctly. I'm really getting nervous about it now. I keep thinking what if shes too little and too young? what if something goes wrong? What if I'm not home? what if I am home.. I'll be a wreck! What if figgy causes problems and tries to hurt them? What if frannie doesnt know what to do with them? What if any of them die! ok.. so say a little prayer for an easy uneventful birth! I know, .. you'd think one of my kids was expecting! sorry.. I have to admit that I'm surprised that I'm this worried! Im guessing that she'll have 4 kittens. but really I have no clue!

ok.. snack time!! see yas tomorrow!
