MIGRAINES, MIGRAINES AND MIGRAINES

PLEASE, PLEASE GO AWAY...I have been getting them lately more on a regular basis. I went to the dr. the other day, I explained to him that I have been having them more now in the past three months than I have ever had before. Don't know where they have been coming from, but talked to Mom and she told me to try to figure out what my triggers are such as salt intake, chocolate, stress etc. She has them almost everyday (I feel so bad when she does) I wouldn't wish these upon anybody. Hopefully I will find the source to them and they will eventually GO AWAY.....

My Trip to Kissimmee Florida

Thoroughly enjoyed my weekend with my parents. We went to a Convention for three days in Kissimmee, Fl. And stayed at a very nice complex also. My sister and bro-in-law were there as well as my nieces. Spent one night with my niece Tavia watching this funny movie called She’s the Man that I had never seen before. They have a Twistee Treat Ice Cream place there that I only thought existed in Tampa which was very good. Time went by so quickly while we were there but still it was a great weekend.

I Heart These Shoes!!!

Okay so I have this thing for shoes. I LOVE THEM!!!! LOL..Anyway, I was at Traffic Shoes the other day and I came across these babies and I had to bring them home with me!!



You will be worn well :)

Working it OUT!!!!

Did my first workout today, haven't been working out in a while. Wanted to see if my knee could take the treadmill again. Last time I tried I was in pain for weeks, but today I did pretty well. YAY!! I was working it with my iPod on jamming to my music. I was the only one in the gym at the time so I was kinda singing out loud while I was working out LOL..Gonna try it again tommorow :)

Okay I know my hands are not supposed to be on the bar, but I had to balance myself while taking a picture of myself on the treadmill, didn't want to go flying across the room..now that would have been a sight! LOL

I did 45 min for my first time, almost walked 2.5 miles..WHOO HOO! gonna do this for about a week and then work up to 60 min the following week..Pray for me!!!! LOL

Will Smith Summertime The Video

Heard this song on the way home today and it brought back some memories of the summertime, hanging out with family or friends at the park with the BBQ and everybody running around playing and stuff LOL..Love this song Will

My trip to Jacksonville with Mom...

Enjoyed today with Mom..took her to her Dr.'s appointment in Jacksonville today. Normally while I wait for her to be seen by the dr., I would go to Hobby Lobby or to my other two favorite scrapbook places. However within the past three months, two out of the three have closed for good!! I'm losing SO MANY of my scrapbook stores man!!! Anyway, so I google on my blackberry for any stores left in the Jacksonville area and low and behold I find one! Whoo Hoo! I called right away and she said they would be open until 8 pm. She gave me the directions and I was on my way! Needless to say I enjoyed shopping there. I did good though. I walked out spending only $10 in the store! (That is VERY GOOD for me LOL) All in all it was a good day. Thanks Mom! =)

P.S. I asked Mom to take a picture of me in front of the store and both times she caught me while I was pointing at her asking if she was ready to take the picture LOL

Using some of my New Supplies..

Okay so I had today off and decided to get some scrapbooking done. I completed half a mini-book that I have been working on FOREVER (still a work in progress) and I did this page of my niece when she was younger and lost her first tooth. I have to get used to the glimmer mist sprays though, I think I was spraying to close but I kinda like the way the page turned out.

Wake Up Sunshine :)

Awww, Look at you in Momma's bed so peaceful and content....Time to get up Sunshine for your Walk and Sniff :)

Oh How Time Flies...

Was going through some of my photos to scrapbook and I came across these two pictures of my nieces. Auntie babies are growing up!! Stop it!! Okay, okay I know it has to happen but still...They are growing up so fast!

Finally Went Shopping Again!!

Went shopping this past weekend at one of my Favorite Scrapbook Stores Whim So Doodle (actually it's one of the few left here where I live) it seems like all of them are closing. Anyway this store is the best ever! Everytime I go in there they always have SO MUCH stuff that I want to buy!! But I was a good girl and only purchased a few things..Can't wait to start some pages with these!

What I have been up to lately...

Was in sort of a funk the past couple of weeks, not really blogging, just coming home from work extremely tired...Anyway, yesterday made myself sit down and do a couple of pages to take my mind off of ALOT of things going on in my head..Here's a layout of my nephew when he was 8 yrs old (He is 21 now)


This layout is for my LOVE OF COFFEE!!!

Felt like Doing..

a little scrapping tonight..Just did something real quick...

Aaaahhh!! I'm Not Ready! I'm Not Ready Yet!

...that is to see my Niece drive!! Okay so the "only" reason why you are seeing these pictures are because I had to sit in the back seat with Mom because she got sick and my niece started the car so that the air conditioner would cool us down! She is only 13 and I cannot even imagine her behind the wheel yet after taking these photos! 3 more years baby, give me 3 more years...Whew, okay carry on...

Took My Niece to get her Ears Pierced...

She was Soooooo scared!! She is 16 and has never had them pierced before. So I could understand why she was scared. I took her to the store and I held her hands as the girl pierced both ears. She squeezed my hands so tight!!! LOL Also she kept squinching (is that a word?) everytime the girl would come close to her with the gun and I kept telling her to look at me and focus on my face but she was so scared. In the end she was a BIG GIRL and got them done and she looks SO pretty! Way to go DeDe!! Love ya!

Saks and Fashion

As you know I call my Yorkie my little stalker because everywhere I go he is step-for-step behind me, beside me and in front of me LOL..Anyway, today as I am cleaning up and washing and folding clothes I am having to perform all these new moves so as not to step on my little man cuz he is SO CLOSE!! As you can see in the pictures that follow he is on the bed while I am folding clothes and gets under the hat on the bed by mistake..



And here he jumped off the bed but a scarf fell on top of him as he was trying to get away



I think Saks is trying to get into fashion on the side...

OOoooh La La

I found me some pretty shoes today. And they only had one pair left and they were in my size!! WooHoo! Although I don't have anything to match them yet (Gives me a reason to shop for an outfit huh? Well I justified it in my mind dangit! LOL)



Anyway, as I was taking pictures to put up on my blog can you guess who got in the way of the pictures?? Hmmm? I guess they wanted to be included in all of my excitement LOL...

My Handsome Nephew

Public Announcement: Sister, you better watch out because your phone is going to be ringing off the hook in a few years. Now back to our regularly scheduled program:

This is my nephew who has the prettiest (okay he is a boy so I will say..)most handsome brown eyes that you could just swim in and makes my heart melt everytime I see him. And those chubby cheeks??? That's a WHOLE NOTHER (yes nother) STORY..LOL I just eat him up everytime I see him..And he is such a good baby too.. I ran and got my camera because I wanted to take some recent pictures of him since I hadn't seen him in a while and boy did he surprise me! When I went to snap the first picture he turned to me and instantly said "CHEESE" without me even asking! LOL

Umm as you can see in the pictures my bed has no covers on it because of a little "accident" he had while he was sleeping (Although he sleeps entirely through the night which is VERY good for a one year old) but he was having a ball while I was taking pictures...

Umm Mom What's Up With the Treats?

LOL..Okay I will admit, I was a "BAD" Momma...I started mixing in regular food with Sak's dog food which is a BIG no no in my book. WELL of course he started "counting" on that food being in with his regular food and now he won't eat it. I KNOW I KNOW, I caused it and now I have to fix it..So he is BACK on his regular food and he only gets "DOG" treats and bones..He is SO not liking Momma right now! LOL..He keeps coming up to me every 5 minutes like "Where is my Food Woman?" LOL..I had to take a picture of his face..my poor little man..

Well She Did it..

She graduated. And I'm so proud of her =)

Went to my niece's graduation on Friday and I was soooooo happy that I got there two hours early because we got great seats! Although they didn't let us in until one hour before and we were out in the blazin sun cookin like chickens at Popeyes..Here is her Mom waiting patiently with me while we are sweating waiting to get in..

And here is her mom and Grandma taking a picture before going inside the stadium

Although I was glad I got to see her up close to take pictures, I realized that I need to invest in some more camera equipment because they turned off the majority of the lights and I was so disappointed that I did not have a better flash with me to take pictures.






After the graduation we drove to Clearwater to a restaurant called Bahama Breeze which is out on the water. It was my first time going and it was a pretty nice restaurant.
