Another New CD

I can't wait for American Idol to kick off in January! I have enjoyed almost all of the music from American Idol contestants. My latest CD addition is the new self-titled release by David Archuleta. Sample some of his tracks here.

Back in the Scrappin' Mood

I kind of hit a lull in my scrapbooking interest over the last couple of months... between school, work, kids, holidays, etc, I've just sort of let my cropping materials sit. With the new office furniture, I've been re-vitalized into it. Crop invites from friends help, too! Here's a rare one-page layout (I typically do double-page spreads) I did using photos of WD, Erin, & Dylan all as infants (well Dylan was a little older) laying in the same dumptruck! The layout idea is scraplifted from one of my old magazines... it worked for me!

Merry Christmas

We hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Day!

Strange, Strange Sight

I know I should be blogging about the holidays and how wonderful Christmas is... it is, but I just couldn't help but snap a picture while driving home from work yesterday of a strange, strange sight I saw on I-10...

I guess that's a car with "bling"?!? Maybe it's "scales", like a fish?!? I don't know, but I couldn't stop myself from staring and actually laughing out loud. I guess we all have our own "style" (if that's what you want to call it)! To make matters even more hysterical... check out the license plate!

Another Favorite Christmas Movie

Yesterday afternoon, I really needed to fold clothes... like 7 loads! WD was sleeping (working nights again), while the kids and puppies were stir-crazy & wild around the house. I had a list of things I needed to get done in addition to the clothes, so I piled all the clean clothes in baskets in front of the TV and put the kids to work folding, while I was across the room in the kitchen making lunch. To make it more enjoyable, we popped in the movie Elf. It's a hilarious story. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy, a regular-sized man who was raised as an elf by Santa Claus. When the news is finally broken to Buddy that he's not a real elf, he decides to head back to his place of birth, New York City, in search of his biological family. We laughed and laughed, and before we realized it, the clothes were folded, lunch was served & eaten, and we were enjoying our new fireplace. If you haven't seen Elf, you just have to rent it during the holidays! It will surely make you laugh.
