check out the watering hole!

the watering hole at www.africam.com -- just click on the Nkorho Stream link -- it has been picky lately, but you can see some awesome stuff -- like an african sunrise, or a hippo in the water...

pray for VA Tech

zzzzzzzzz

i am very sleepy today...

Easter pictures...

ocho random thoughts...

1) CKC volunteering was today for me -- not totally organized with how they work the volunteers, but it was fun to TA and i got some fun goodies for free

2) CKC tomorrow! -- i am helping at For Keeps Sake's booth and shopping and doing make-n-takes and going to a dinner with some scrappy pals! woohoo!

3) rusty pickle -- they now have T-SHIRTS that are UBER COOL, no matter what lance says! 2 high quality t-shirts for $25! that is cheap!

4) skinny cows -- no/low fat ice cream sandwiches -- very very yummy!

5) spring break=no pay -- this SUCKS! i don't like a half-sized paycheck! :( my bills don't like it either!!

6) dave pelzer -- i have requested the 2nd & 3rd books that come after "A Child Called 'It'" from the library -- i am 10th on the list for one and 14th on the list for the other!!

7) usps priority boxes that fit 12x12 scrapbook pages!! -- go to www.scrapyourtrip.com and follow the link at the top of the page to sign the petition to have the boxes readily available....

8) new digi cam -- i am in the planning/looking/hoping for a new digi cam stage -- mine is taking dark pictures and some have lines and are gross...we will see what happens in the coming month or so...


have a fun weekend! toodles!!

good day today!

a day at work that wasn't too stressful, a trip to target to get some needed items and some fun stuff

my fave find was a clearanced Easter basket -- it is a metal bucket with chalkboards on each side!! it is about 8x10 and about 5 inches deep -- a really nice pink color....plus it came with chalk! woohoo!

A Child Called "It"

this is a wonderfully moving and unfortunately TRUE story. i urge each and every one of you to read this book by dave pelzer.

100%!

tonight i had to do a presentation in class -- myself & mark (in my class) created & presented a power point on chapter 7 of our textbook "fantasy, science-fiction, utopias & dystopias" -- and i got 25/25 points! yay!!

just another manic monday...

well, another monday come & gone

i worked today and i need to now make some ATCs and finish reading a book for class tomorrow night....

so i guess that is all, but i am trying to be good & post everyday this month...we shall see!!

toodles!

HE is risen!!

The Lamb of God has risen from the dead and taken all our sins away.

I pray you have a very blessed Easter!

busy as a bee today!

man today was busy!!

my day started with a class making really cool Easter cones with my pal, barb (who if she had a blog i could link her here)....i bought a couple other cones to alter and a few piddly things at that store...we went a few other places (hobby lobby, michaels, joanns, target, and i don't remember if there was more or not, lol) and i bought a set of ki papers & embellishments for 40% off (thanks barb!)

once i got home i started working on laundry, it has been slow going, but i have one load left to go into the dryer, so that is good...i cleaned some, moved some stuff to the basement from the kitchen, made 2 kinds of jell-o for breakfast at church and boiled a dozen eggs to make deviled eggs tomorrow...

i also finished tweaking a powerpoint for class and finished reading catcher in the ryefor tuesday as well...

i am wiped, but i still need to finish switching laundry loads and start reading another book for tuesday night!! PLUS, i need to finish some ATCs so i can take them over to For Keeps Sake before tuesday night (when they are due, but i have class)...not sure how relaxed my Easter will end up being!!

tomorrow is a potluck breakfast at church -- people are bringing egg casseroles, hashbrowns, coffee cake, juice, etc etc etc -- and then church service at 9...meghan is going and the kids choir will sing, as will the senior choir...it will be a nice service and hopefully sunny out so the windows look beautiful!!

have a blessed Easter morning!!

Good Friday

a day to remember Jesus hanging on the cross for each and every one of us...

Maundy Thursday

Tonight at church we celebrated communion and heard the beautiful story of Jesus' Last Supper. What a glorious gift He gave us!!

Relay for Life

I have signed up to do the Rockwood Relay for Life in early June! You can support this relay for CANCER by clicking here and seeing more about the cause, event and making a donation (no matter the size) to support the cause! Right now I have a goal of $100, but I am hoping to far surpass that!!!

Hope!

this is the garden that was planted at the school i work at this past fall -- it was an awareness raiser and a fundraiser for cancer -- 2 staff members were battling cancer at the time, one unfortunatley passed since then --a few weeks back (over spring break) the daffodils were in full bloom and you can see the message of HOPE that the kids helped bring!!

weekend review!

i went to a wedding shower for my pal, stacy, on saturday! i haven't seen her in years, but she was so happy & it was wonderful to see her!! i gave her & her hubby (both military, got married while he was home in january) a margarita set the wanted, a bottle of tequila, some margarita mix, some margarita salt & a small trash can ;)
one of my cuties from power hour -- sitting under the table!!

I hope you are all having a very blessed Palm Sunday!
