A test and a Few Pictures?

I am trying the Blogger App for my iPhone. It might make for some quick blog posts and maybe not do long between posts.
Not sure how the picture thing works

Promises, Promises .......

Promises, seems that is all I am doing for this blog.  The SAD is becoming depression or has become.  I make it to work and home, feed the hooligans and myself then sit and watch the evil TV.  If it wasn't for Tag Tuesday at the local scrapbook store and the chiropractic appointments that I take my Mom to, I wouldn't go any where.
So here is my thoughts, I am afraid to look at last years goals for the year, I am pretty sure I accomplished few.  I NEED to pull myself out of this rut before it becomes a deep dark hole.  There is no reason, there never is a reason for depression.  I should be happy, there will be a new family member early next year, our first grandbaby.  Then I think they are so far away, and I get feeling down again about missing so many things that will happen in the first few years of the baby's life.  I worry because I am not there for my daughter.  I will be out in Ottawa when the baby is born and a few week to help.  Small house lots of people not sure how that will work out.

There is a new gym opening in the building where I work.  I am trying to decide whether to join or not. It's about $40 per month twice what I was paying at the last place - mind you we got into an awesome deal there, but didn't use it enough to continue the membership.  Now that getting home right after work is not an issue, I could work out for an hour or take a fitness class.  I don't know what to do.

Even my card making has been non existent, I have Christmas cards to get out to the wonderful ladies on the Ragdoll Forum, some of these have to make it across the world.  Goal to have them in the mail Monday at latest.
So here are a few pictures from the summer and fall - at least I will full fill part of the promise to put pictures up here

My husband and I walking Sheena down the "aisle"

Matt and Sheena


Those are the only ones I have in photobucket, I'll add more a little later

Have I even posted MonAimee and Mani Rune pictures?  They are almost 7 months old now and Mani Rune or Rune for short is huge.

Here is Freya, Freyr and Rune waiting at the door while I was outside taking pictures

you can see that Rune on the right is almost as big as Freya on the left

and of course my snuggle bum MonAimee

That is all I have at the moment but I do have more and must practice what I did learn at my photography class.
Don't forget to leave a comment I do read them, even if I don't answer back, I do try.

Weekend coming, will post pictures promise

Okay the weekend is almost here, I have been taking pictures just not uploaded yet. I promise along with the million other things this weekend I will do a blog post with card and cat pictures

Ackk!!! Blogger is messed up for me

I haven't been able to get into blogger for a few days. Endless log in loop. Finally tried IE8 and now I can post. I am hoping that Blogger will get this fix so I can back to using Chrome.
Wedding invitations 50 are done, not in the mail but done.  I am hoping to get them all in the mail Monday, before Canada Post goes on strike.
Been very neglectful of diet and exercise. Monday, I am hitting the exercise big time.
Won't be able to do the treadmill though.  At the moment I have water running down the wall in my basement beside the treadmill.  We have a plugged eaves trough on the condo and the water is coming my dryer vent.  Condo management can't or won't do anything until it stops raining, big help that is. I'll have to check again tonight and make sure nothing can get wet.  One big problem is that the electric outlet for the dryer is right where the water is coming down.  I turned the switch off at the panel, but will need to have an electrician look at it before I can use it.  Might have to buy some clothes, but I did want to lose a few pounds before that.

I'll post invitation pictures once I have them in the mail, at least then you can look at pretty pictures. I'll also post some cat pictures too, many sneak in a kitten photo or 2.  I haven't been able to get out to see the kittens.  I hope to soon. I do hope I can find a sweet thing that is a lap kitty.  Katie keeps trying to be a lap kitty, (she is so silly) but really doesn't like to be on your lap unless you have paper there lol.

Any way just thought I would post so you know I am having blog issues

Please if you pass by my lonely little blog, do drop a comment and say hi
Thanks

Making Progress

On wedding invitations at least lol.  I have about 50 library envelopes done, that is cut glued and distressed. I have about 105 book pages done and cut in half, I will trim the rest today, if not busy at work.  Think I will have N come over to help with the dry embossing, this weekend. Maybe will start assembly, still waiting on a stampmajig to do the stamping.  Might have to youtube a makeshift one. Did take pictures, but will only post them once the invitations are in the mail.

Mac seems to be doing all right at the moment. Hubby is taking a wait and see approach.  Still waiting on call backs for about 4 jobs, it's the old hurry up and wait.  Need something soon.

I am hoping to take a bit of a break on Sunday and pop to Okotoks to see kittens, they are still young, but still be nice to see them.

Life Update

Really nothing much going on.  Just life as I know it.
Still working on the wedding invitations lots still to do, mostly cutting the library pockets and the library card RSVP.  They are going to look awesome if I say so myself. (reminder to self take pictures of the process).
Spent Mother's Day at the emergency vet with the Eskie MacLeod, he fell from our bed and injured his left from leg.  Soft tissue injury with out taking x-rays was the diagnoses.  His liver or kidney enzymes were elevated so no anti inflammatories, just pain killers, so the poor boy is doped up on opiates.  Mother's Day supper was at Swiss Chalet with my Mom, hubby, our son and gf, my sister, her son and DIL along with her Mom and Grandma. It was a wonder evening out.  Sure beat the heck out of cooking.
DH got my a Kobo, I might have mention that before, not that I seem to have time to read lol.

Hubby still is not working, everyone keeps saying soon. ACK!!!! Wish he know have to cut on the Silhouette lol.
Had a card class last night, I'll post pictures later. Made my Mom a wonderful, no time to take a picture (good thing she keeps them).
Tag Tuesday today at Scrapbookers Paradise, then home to do some cutting of library pockets.

Update coming soon

Neglecting the blog this month and last. Sheep breeding in Farmville on Facebook can be blamed. The newest of that has worn off, so hopefully back to getting things done lol.  Took a bunch of pictures of the cats and dog yesterday, will find time to watermark and up load soon. Back to sorting the tax papers, then house work.  Hubby is back home this week.  On the 20th is his 50th birthday and I have to get a card made.

Save the Dates are done!

The Save the Dates are all done. I mailed about 30 of them yesterday.  I need more US stamps (postage) the rest are being addressed and mail today.  I will take some nice pictures this weekend with natural light and the good camera.  I did notice a different in the distress of the second batch, it seems lighter.  I guess I have to refill the ink pad more than I did. I was also having trouble with the Rangers Ink Blending tool, replacement pads it were leaving pieces of foam on the cards.  I did try to take some pictures to send to Ranger Ink, to see if that is suppose to happen.  It happened with more than one.  I am wondering if I got a bad batch of replacement pads.

No exercise last night, so had better get at it tonight. Might need to exercise just to stay warm. -35C with wind chill this morning BRRRRRR. 

Save the Dates are ready for printing and distressing

Finally got the layout done, I can fit 3 to a page. Printed out 33 and then tried the shiny cardstock and liked it a lot more. So I guess I am off to Scrapbooker's Paradise at lunch to get more of the shiny cardstock.  I'll see what the kids say about what to do with the non-shiny save the dates.
I will finish printing before leaving work today and then work on the cutting and distressing on the weekend.
The kids also got their Wedding website marked with place holders mattandsheena
They have the venue booked. So after this month we can breath for a little bit. I can play with some ideas for the actual invitations. RSVP etc.
I'll try to post a finished Save the Date later this weekend.

25 minutes on the Treadmill Last Night

I got started ....
Was shooting for 30 minutes, while I caught up on V, but at the 25 min mark for some reason I had to hit pause, but missed and hit the power button. At that point I said enough.  Tonight will be 30 for sure.
Made a awesome dinner of baked sole and sweet potato and parsnip fries.  Now if I only could get rid of this salty taste in my mouth, food would taste better.  Dentist said it could be gum disease.  I think it got bad after I lost the charger on my good sonic toothbrush while renovating. I gave up and bought a new Oral B last night.  I also will make a Dr appointment, just to make sure it is not a nasal thing.

Thursday of a very unproductive week

Yikes, it's Thursday already and nothing done at all.
No cards
no cleaning
no de-junking
no exercise either.
Really there is no excuse, except I am tired, tired tired!
Dentist appointment for Saturday, I think I have an infected wisdom tooth. Yeah I still have a couple of wisdom teeth. The dentist wanted to get them out last year and one had a cavity.  I hate the dentist at any given time, but to pull teeth and then there is the fear of complications one hears with wisdom teeth.  I am no spring chicken any more.  Sadly my dentist doesn't do sedation.  He is a great dentist. Right now with hubby not working, I am a little concerned about the price as well.
A little slow at work this week, which doesn't help.  Hubby is lazy too, he needs to get back to work as well.
Lots of new releases from Stamp companies and sneak peeks at the CHA stuff
Have you seen the new  Tim Holtz  dies, oh my....  and the new Webster Pages
Oh and ScrappinGreat Deals has an awesome sale on Spellbinders 25% off until January 16.
I wish I could do some ordering, but I am suppose to be on a spending freeze especially if I haven't made a card since before Christmas.
Today is a new day. I will get something accomplished. Even if is to write in the journal I bought for the new year.
I haven't posted any cat pictures in a bit so here is some Kitty cuteness.
