No gifts

So... today is my husbands 35th birthday. His birthday always just reminds me that I'm older than him... 2.5 years older. That's OK, I'm still skinnier (for now).

I don't have a gift for him. I will make him a card, which he won't appreciate, but I'm unemployed so he gets NO gift.

He didn't get ME anything for MY last birthday either... or Valentines Day or our anniversary.

When did we start doing this? This thing where our daughter is the only one who seems to get presents... like we're not important anymore. We swore we'd never do it... but here we are... gift-less!

I'm gonna go make him a cake... I'll always be older so I'm gonna make sure that he stays fatter!

Not Today

Late night.....too tired......no blog.

Well, maybe later.

Wardrobe Challenged

What do I wear!!!! I have to go to a Jack and Jill tonight and I don't have any clothes.
I am not joking...I don't have ANYTHING to wear!
At what point in my life did I start looking at clothing as a luxury and not a necessity? When did I begin to hate shopping for anything but scrapbooking supplies? "Look these jeans are on sale for $24.99"!..are you kidding me, I could buy like 20 sheets of pattern paper for that.
So, normally it's not such a big deal but then someone tosses me a wedding or some event to go to (usually at the last minute) and I get all freaked out because I can't dress myself.
Mike wonders why I can't just throw something on...MEN!...they just don't get it. Don't they know, it's not about covering up your nakedness it's about making people you haven't seen in a while hate you cause you look so damn good!
I suppose I'll just wear the dress I wore at the last Jack and Jill I went to... seven years ago =)
That solves that.
Next problem...SHOES!...don't get me started.

Computer Literate

I can use a computer! I really can! Maybe I don't know everything, but I can "upload" a photo to Scrapbook.com and I can do some neat things with my pictures, I even put that fancy header up for my blog title all by myself. I am proud!

You have to understand...when I went to high school, there were about fifteen computers for the whole school and that included the office. The computer class I took in grade ten taught the Binary Code. ( 10100010100010 ) To say I didn't learn much would be an understatement. In-fact, our teacher handed us some papers a couple of days before the exam at the end of the year and said "if you can answer these, you'll do fine". I got a 54%. I passed, but after that computers have always been a scary thing for me, until.......SCRAPBOOKING!!!

I now spend more time on this machine than doing laundry, cooking, watching T.V. or exercising. ( Well, let's be honest, I spend more time thinking about exercise than actually doing it. lol ) The point is ...it's not so scary anymore and I'm smarter than I thought.

Maybe I should apply at Google...I could use a job like that...and I did pass an exam on the Binary Code once!

Let's Get Started

So, here I am...blogging. Gotta keep up with the times. Go with the flow. Whatever...it looks like fun so I'll do it. But probably not every day and probably not as well as everyone else. I guess it's another place to show off some photos and scrapbook pages. For those of you who don't know me... I love my family, I love to scrapbook and I love to take pictures (lately I've been in self portrait mode). Now keep in mind, my knowledge of cameras and photograpy is limited but I like my stuff so I will share it with whoever wants to look.
Also, this blog stuff is all new to me...actually computers in general are not really my "thing" so please be patient with me while I learn how to do this.
Just what I needed... another thing to keep me away from laundry!
