This won't be very long, but I've managed to avoid blogging for enough days in a row... I've just been busy, tired, and not very happy, but I really don't want to go into that here.
I'm at work now, but I stopped on my way in, registered at the Miracle Crop (benefits our local Children's Miracle Network) and dropped off my stuff. I couldn't get the day off 'cause Sharon didn't want to work. I told Dad I probably have WAY more stuff than I need, but only having 2 days to pack in I didn't get any page kits put together or anything - well,... other than the ones from last May I still haven't completed! LOL It's paper city for me today 'cause I don't have a laptop. It would be nice to have one by the end of the year, but I'm not holding my breath... Mike's wanted one for about 3 yrs, and the one I managed to get him ended up being more something a kid could use for school...
I do have some GREAT news! Kol managed to get back the job he left last May! He's an architectural draftsman, and he left Greg because he wanted to work more with residential than commercial. However, the company he left Greg for let him go in Jan, and he's been out of work since. Every time he manage to get a nibble they'd not call back... Anywho - Greg called him on Wed and offered him his job back because his replacement walked into the office on Tues, and announced his last day would be the 3rd! I will be the first to tell you that Kol worked some LONG hrs at this place - it's only him, the boss, and the receptionist. BUT, the boss would also give him the company cc and a limit towards buy his camera, his EHD, things like that as bonuses for Xmas/birthday/BIG jobs, etc. and we're not talking $50 bonuses here. So overall not a bad gig. It does mean his plans to possibly move back here this summer are nixed, and that makes me a little sad 'cause he eases the loneliness a bit. But, this is awesome for him so a little bittersweet for me.
And, speaking of Kol... I can post this now!

I tried to post most of this on Thursday morning, but my IE bugged out on me, and I haven't had time before leaving home the last two days...
I will also have at least 1 Desktop Calendar QP to offer up in the next few days so keep watching for that as well!
Dad has the kids at the zoo today so I'm sure I'll have some more photos to work with tomorrow while finishing up the last of my March CT LOs. It's super bright and sunny here today if a bit chilly. They're saying a high of 27 for the day... Yesterday looked like we were stuck in a snowglobe until about 5pm. Just those drifting, swirly, maybe-I'll-come-down snowflakes ALL day! LOL Have I mentioned I hate snow?!?!
I've got a little bit of a headache starting, and should go take something before it gets horrible. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Lovely layouts - thanks for sharing them! I hope your headache gets better, and you have a nice day for scrappin'!
Hey girlie! I have been wanting to leave comments on your blog for the last few days but I haven't had a chance. I can't seem to stay focused and things accomplished they way I want to. LOL I remember you mentioning the Miracle Crop in one of your other posts and I meant to as you about that. Where is it being held? I hadn't seen anything about it, so I won't be there today :( Tim is at a Race today (I'm rolling my eyes as I type that LOL) Here we are going into April and those crazy fools are out on a pond racing snowmobiles. Can't this snow just go away already? I know you feel the same way cause you just LOVE all this snow. LMAO I hope the sun is coming out for you like it is here because it looks beautiful out. I hope your headache goes away and that you enjoy your afternoon/night of scrapping. That sounds like so much fun.
I love all your new LO's by the way. The baby one is sooo sweet. I LOOOVE the crumbled papers in your brothers bday LO. And the paper piece down the side of your family LO is the PERFECT touch! I love it!
Beautiful LOs!!!
Congrats on the job!! Thats so awesome and I can understnad the bittersweet feeling honey! Hope you are feeling better soon! Love your layouts!
Great pages - and I'm glad Kol got his job, even though it means he is far away.
I know what it's like to feel "bleurgh" and just "cheering up" isn't always the answer: so ride out the downer, find one thing you can really enjoy each day (mine's a cup of tea!) then find two etc.. You'll be up again soon :o)
Glad to see you are back!! Great layouts, and glad to hear he got his job back! Whew, that would have to be a relief!! Have a great day sweetie!
Hi Cate, making my dork dancing rounds. Hope you feel better, hate those "almost" headaches.
BTW great layouts.
Just checkin in on ya! Good to hear about Kol's job, sorry that he's not gonna move though. Love the layouts. Have a great day!
