All That I Have Seen

Gosh I'm sorry I've been away so long. Over a month, wow! 2010 has been such a stress for me so far and I have just not been feeling up to sitting down at my computer for extended periods. I am especially sorry I missed my Blogoversary yesterday, but MUCH thanks to Teena for the happy thoughts :)

BUT I'm back now. I do solemnly swear to make approximately one post a week as I begin the second year of this blog. I love blogging, making the wordart, the interactions with people, the whole deal.. and I need to get motivated to keep up with it.

I would love to join a forum. That seems to be the way to be social in the digi-scrap community and I feel like it is an aspect I have neglected too long.. My problem is I just don't have the time or energy to devote myself to a bunch of them, the way I know some people do.. I want a place to socialize that is low-pressure, fun, and has a great group of people to interact with. Just one for now, and then hopefully I will branch out. Any suggestions? Please! :)

Dear God, We Gratefully Bow Our Heads

Hope everyone had a great holiday yesterday. Mine was nice, my whole family showed up and it was peaceful and pleasant. Lots of yummy turkey and watching all my nieces and nephews be generally cute :)

One thing that really struck me yesterday, that I wasn't expecting, was how I missed my Grandpa saying grace. It was always very simple, said with head bowed and hands folded. Something to the effect of: "Dear Lord, please bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies, direct and guide us, in Jesus name, Amen." How I miss his voice blessing our meals. I wish with I had a recording of his grace. It is a precious piece of my life, lost.

One more note about grace.. Growing up my immediate family did not pray, but grace was said faithfully at my grandparents' house. And all the adults thought it was so sweet to hear my sisters and I chorus, "God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for this food. Amen." And this went on for years.. Then one year I decided us children should coordinate a new prayer -for Thanksgiving!- and recite it instead, to surprise the grown ups. We were around the ages of 10(me), 6, and 4 years old, three sisters. I coached them for weeks in secret - although I know my parents knew what was going on. The end result wasn't the greatest, but that silly prayer remains firmly stuck in my head. I got it out of a prayer book for children, I wish I had that book... Anyway, today's freebie IS that prayer, how cute is that?

A Blessed Family, A Thankful Heart

Ah well it's been awhile, huh? But I always manage to show back up eventually :)

Things are doing well here. I'm in the middle of a cold; headaches, stuffy noses, coughs. It's unpleasant. I'm surviving, though.

We're having my family's Thanksgiving at my house this year. This is the first year we will ever have it away from my grandparents' house, but it is also the first Thanksgiving without my Grandpa, so we thought this might be easier on us all. I hope it all goes well. My hubbie is deep-frying a turkey, yumm. I really need to get busy cleaning house, though! This holiday has snuck right up on me!

On Thanksgiving Day I will have another freebie up and am planning another full post on Friday as well, so check back for those and everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

No God, no peace

First of all, let me post the winner of my Halloween costume comment contest.
I went to Random.org to determine the winner:

Pamela! Congrats! :)
Linda & Michelle: Since I am so grateful to you guys for your support, I'd love to send you one of them for free, just for playing along.

Just leave a comment here or shoot me an email (chrishel00@gmail.com) letting me know the email address you'd like your winnings sent to (and which Halloween bunch one you'd like to have, if you won a single one).

Oh, and just so you know, Kelley wasn't included in the draw because she is my little sister. Not a digi-scrapper, just a fan of me :) :)

In other news.. I hope everyone had a fun, happy Halloween! I enjoyed giving out candy and seeing my favorite trick-or-treaters. And then on Sunday the Cowboys won! Whoop!

Also: is the time change throwing anyone else a little off? This morning I woke up in a slight panic, thinking Joe was late for work. The sunlight was streaming through the window and I was so sure I'd slapped the alarm clock off and overslept! But no, just DST messing with me :)

Another Halloween post! I'm excited about tomorrow night. My nephews are Spider-Man and Wubbzy and my nieces are a princess and a flower. I'm also looking forward to a visit from a troupe of little vampires! :) I don't dress up myself, just put on a jack-o-lantern top and answer the doorbell, but I have a good time!

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday, be safe - and brave! :)

Creepy and Kooky

Ahh I'm back! Did I scare you?

Again, I have no excuses for my extended absence beyond plain old laziness. I DID name this site Lazy Daisy, right? Because I sure am living up to it!

Things are fine out in the real world. My job keeps me busy as do household chores and all my TV shows :) I am loving the fact that the cool weather is staring to blow in, I love winter. Curling up next to our woodstove is the best.

And Halloween! While not my favorite holiday, it is a fun one. I am looking forward to handing out candy to all the goblins, ghouls, princesses and superheroes. I'm sad I never got around to trying my hand at a Halloween scrap kit this year, but I swear time just rushes right by me. I am definitely going to shoot for a Christmas kit, I absolutely adore Christmas :)

Best Friends Forever

So hello again all!
I am (slowly) working on a loose schedule to get myself on track. Hard to believe I was once a daily poster! I want to try my hand at another digi-scrap kit if I can find the time, I really want to do a Halloween one, but not till I'm more caught up on my wordart making.. I need to get busy!

Am planning on spending tomorrow evening banging out wordart so I can have a few posts worth ready. Joe is going out with the boys after the football game and so I will have a few hours of uninterrupted quiet night time. Prime for zoning out in Photoshop :)

Well, I'm still not on any sort of a schedule at all. Obviously, haha. I apologize for my sporadic posting and guarantee I will be getting my act together someday.

For today, though, here I am with a night post. My husband has a friend over and they are taking electronics apart on my dining table, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to make a quick post!

Is anyone else as psyched about this movie as I am? This book is one of my very favorites.

Always Kiss Your Children Goodnight

Oh my goodness, yesterday was awful. My hubbie called a little before noon, he had forgotten a couple things he'd wanted to take to work and was asking if I could run them up to him. I said, ok! and thank God I did! When I went to my garage, there was water everywhere, and I mean everywhere. The cement was dark with it and a small river was running on the far side, the length of my garage and out the door. When I raised the garage door, I found a soaking wet driveway (neighbors' driveways = dry)! Turns out the water was leaking (POURING) out of the water heater. BAH!

So I called Joe and he hurried home. Turned off the water supply at the curb and did a little investigating. Turns out it's shot, no more water heater. And worst of all, the "shut-off valve" for the heater is busted as well, so we couldn't't turn our main water supply back on without starting another wave of water. Thank the good Lord I was caught up on things like laundry and dishes. What a mess.

Today, though, we seem to have it worked out, thankfully. I am sooo glad it's the weekend, I am looking forward to a couple days of sleeping late and catching up on my reading and wordart making :)

I Can Do All Things

Wow, it's been too long. I have no excuse for my absence, really. First it was adjusting to my new job (I'm an after school mother's helper for a few hours each school day), then it was the flu that laid us low for a whole week, and then this weekend was busy, busy. So this week so far has been a time of pointless relaxation and getting absolutely nothing done. Bah! I need a schedule, but I keep putting off making one..

But I'm back again, I know I tend to wander off and I sooo appreciate you guys who hang in there with me. And much thanks to those who commented or emailed to check on me. I'm fine, I am just a scatterbrained person and maybe a little easily distracted by shiny things, haha.

A Love Sent From Heaven

Yay Friday! We're going tonight to see District 9 again. Has anyone else caught that movie? It was so intense and so good! I have been dragged reluctantly to many action movies this summer (Wolverine, Transformers, GI Joe), but District 9 was the only one I really enjoyed. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie! This time we'll stay for the drive-in's double feature and catch The Taking of Pelham 123 afterwards.

Tomorrow morning I am going to take a family portrait for a sweet family I may wind up baby-sitting for. Am more than a little nervous, I've taken solo shots before and a few group ones of my own family, but never anything like this. I'm trying to keep my head up and be confident :)

Proud to Be an American

Well hi all! Did you think I'd fallen off the planet?

Not much is actually new around here. Am going to see Julie & Julia today with an old friend who's moving back out of town. She will be missed, my movie buddie.

I may have a job watching children in the afternoons. Nothing too strenuous, just two sweet boys for a few hours after school each day. It's not definite yet, I will have more on that when I know more. I have been slacking in the blogging/scrapping department - ok I have been slacking in many departments - so I am hoping next week to begin working, sign up for some online classes, and get myself on a kind of rough schedule to be sure I get things done every day and not just loaf. Loaf, what a funny word :)

Ah hello all! Back to the grind, though the vacation was lovely. We got our garage cleaned out! Yay! I'm excited to be able to park my car in there again.

Today is the day I put my job search on the top of my to-do list, I have no excuses left. The house is clean (clean enough!) and we really need the income. Also I'm enrolling in Web Design classes online, it's high time I got back to school and I think online learning will work out well for me.

What about you guys? What kind of job keeps you busy all day (if any!)?

Sisterhood is Powerful

It's August! I cannot believe how quick 2009 is slipping away, it just amazes me. And now I am having to buckle down and get a job, we can't afford any longer for me to be unemployed. I lost my work-at-home phone position back in January and haven't done a thing about it since, unfortunately. I need to get my rear in gear!
