sunday was power hour and not much else!!
i am sick, kind of, i have a bunch of drainage, so i am coughing & such, but i am feeling alright...no fever, no soreness, etc...just some weird illness!!
i am happy because tomorrow is CARDINALS spirit day at work! i get to wear JEANS! woohoo!!

which are you?
| You Are 75% Feminine, 25% Masculine |
 You are in touch with your feminine side. Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you. And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women. |

it has been awhile since i posted (ok, not as long as some people!!)
friday night i did nothing!
saturday i went with my pal barb & her mom, nancy, to an all day scrap retreat -- lots of fun classes & worth the money -- i would consider going again!! made a few pages and projects there -- plus i bought some fun things i have been unable to find and got some awesome ideas for projects!!
sunday was power hour and then relaxing!! i created a TON of projects for an upcoming special event weekend at For Keeps Sake in november -- it was all fun Christmas stuff!! one was my DT project for this month, then i also made a 1 page layout, a gift bag, 3 cards, 1 quote mini book, an altered composition book & a cool set of altered blocks!
monday was RAINY all day long!!!!!!!!!! it was exhausting to watch the rain!!!
today was work and then i took my DT work into the LSS...now i am just relaxing!
i hope all is well out there (and post if you are reading this, lol, sometimes i don't feel like posting because i wonder if anyone even cares....)
toodles!!

Ridin' with Private Malone
i love this song by David Ball
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was just out of the service thumbing through the classifieds
When an ad that said old Chevy some how caught my eye
The lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
But I had that thousand dollars in my hand
It was way back in the corner of this old ramshackle barn
With thirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
When I pulled the cover off it took away my breath
What she'd called a Chevy was a '66 Corvette
I felt a little guilty as I counted out the bills
But what a thrill I got when I sat behind the wheel
I opened up the glove box and that's when I found the note
The date was nineteen sixty six and this is what he wrote
He said my name is Private Andrew Malone
If you're reading this then I didn't make it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of mine now it belongs to you
And though you may take her and make her your own
You'll always be riding with Private Malone
Well it didn't take me long at all I had her running good
I love to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the rag top down
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her through town
The buttons on the radio didn't seem to work quite right
But it picked up that oldie show especially late at night
I'd get the feeling sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
A soldier riding shotgun in the seat right next to me
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
He told me to take her and make her my own
And I was proud to be riding with Private Malone
One night it was raining hard I took the curve too fast
I still don't remember much about that fiery crash
Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
They didn't get his name but I know without a doubt
It was a young man named Private Andrew Malone
Who fought for his country and never made it home
But for every dream that's shattered another one comes true
This car was once a dream of his back when it was new
I know I wouldn't be here if he hadn't tagged along
Oh thank God I was riding with Private Malone

weekend in review!
saturday was a busy day with shopping & errands & prepping for power hour & laundry & cleaning & stopping at FKS to see some STINKIN' CUTE designers!! sam & abby design for IMAGINESCE paper line -- the paper is DARLING -- and the girls are even cuter!! sam is 4 1/2 and abby is 2 1/2!! they were on their way out of town, but they stopped at FKS to do some drawings & autographs & do some give aways! so much fun stuff!!
abby's cutie toes in her pink princess shoes!!
abby working hard on her drawing for me :)
sunday was the usual start with Power Hour! way fun!!! after that meghan & i headed to chevy's for lunch and then to the Missouri Botanical Gardens! we walked all over looking at the flowers and the Chihuly glass (the free aspects of the display); we also played in the new children's garden -- lots of cool things there! BUT, it is easy to lose track of your kids there! so many places to climb!! meghan took about 40 pictures with my digital camera and i took about 3 rolls of film!
