I have a new header!

I can't believe it's Friday already!

I haven't posted all week, but I did manage to get my blog header up! Here's a little something I made a couple weeks ago for the altered challenge over at ScrapArtist. Credit for the papers I used goes to Lisa Cohen.

OK I really miss the sun! I did go for about a 20 minute walk this morning, then cleaned up in the garden a bit. It did start to snow a little, but at least it's not TOO cold. I could actually plant peas and spinach now, so maybe I"ll head back out this afternoon.

Desperate for flowers! I did this LO from a photo I took last June at Tower Hill Botanical Gardens...beautiful place!!

Credits go to Jen Wilson.

AHHHhhh...Saturday! We had our weekly field trip to Walmart this morning. Just the usual...socks for DH, dog food, bird seed. Silly birds think it's spring and are eating about 25 lbs of sunflower seeds a week!

So I gave up on the 21 day journal. Yeh, I got one page done. I'll probably finish it up at some point though. I have been better at eating healthier and I walked for 30 minutes 3 days at lunchime last week. (OK so Friday was really only 20 minutes because it started to rain) I really like getting out of the lab for a bit and walking. It's so cool to listen to my favorite tunes...I love my i-Pod! I got the 1G Nano, the prices have dropped $50 since I bought them for my boys at Christmas, how could I resist? And I also got the car charger/wireless transmitter, it plays through your car radio and charges at the same time...works great!

Here's a LO about my youngest son. He definitely has his own ideas and opinions. Don't they all at age 15?

I made these a couple weeks ago from an old garden book, and some buttons. I hope you enjoy them...leave me a comment, and maybe even a link to anything you make with them!

Cheers!!

Can you guess what new toy I just got? Love it...I'll be rockin later for sure!!

Yup...my life is boring. Or perhaps I am just busy and have so much excitement in my life that I can't find time to write about it. YA RIGHT LOL!
I have been struggling with the fact that my Dad has cancer. I found out in mid-January, and it has been very upsetting for me. At first I had an almost panic-like feeling. a heavy pressure on my chest like I could not breathe. I cried so much. I don't know how I got thru a day at work. as soon as I left for the day I would cry all the way home.
I am dealing with it a little better now. still very upset though. I talked to him last night and I felt better. I hope and pray for him. that he has a lot of good quality time left, and that the pain in his leg will go away so he can walk and do all the things he likes to do. re-build his antique tractors. poke around the yard. dig in the dirt and plant things. putter. I love him dearly, and wish we lived closer. Going to visit in June will be bittersweet.
So that's what's on my mind. I have started Rhonna's 21 day challenge journal. It's been 7 days. My journal is on page 1 still. BUT I have been doing pretty well with dieting and my morning workout. so. tommorow I will reweigh myself....and maybe catch up on the journal!
