{friday's random thoughts}

YAY! it's the weekend. . nothing better than that!! :) and it's national scrapbooking day tomorrow. . .another YAY :)

tonight i'm hanging out with Laura. .who i haven't seen in a while. .life really just gets in the way sometimes. . so i'm glad that we'll get to hang out tonight. . eamonn's going to the prom (her fiance who's a teacher for those reading who don't know :) )

tomorrow i get to go to Linda's :) YAY!!! a peek into yesterday is doing all sorts of fun NSD activities and challenges so that'll keep us busy. . plus i get to see her adorable two little girls - they seem to like me :) hehe AND i get to order some stuff. . . i've been trying really hard to be good about the scrapbook spending. . especially where we have so MUCH going on in the next few months (4 more weddings, travel to one wedding, showers for all etc. LOL). . it's a lot of fun but it's mucho $$. . .

work today seems interminable. . . ugh. . . hate those days. .. i only had 10 letters to write today so i'm doing some other stuff. . and. . well, blogging . .hehe

let's see. . publishing wise. ..August ST calls came and went. . .i didn't get one. .i didn't submit a TON but i did send them some. . . . another discouragment :( . ..i'm trying to keep plugging but it's just so HARD sometimes. . . . anyway. ..next friday another ST call is due. . . so i'm working on a few things for that and i'll send them some others that i already have done. i'm working really hard now that i quit my design team to just scrapbook for FUN and not concentrate so hard on getting published. . .we'll see how that goes. . . MM call for pet pages is over at the end of the month. .i've done a couple that i like (one needs a title tweaking) and they both need journaling. . .so i'll probably send those off. .plus the ones i did for the PK call and see what happens. . .i feel like the little engine that could ROFL

mom's doing okay. . she had her follow up with the surgeon today - he's not happy that her problem is still persisting. . .i guess it's just slower progress than he'd like. . but he's starting her on a new med. so hopefully. . .keep her in your thoughts/prayers/whatevers. . please. . .
