untitled...

Not feeling so creative title-wise today. In fact, feelin' kinda' lazy and tired all around. Would like to just start typing in all lowercase to keep from hitting so many keys! LOL

Have some LOs to share today. The last two haven't been uploaded as yet 'cause I've been a tad bit busy so I'll have to type out the credits on those.

For Xmas my SIL got my brother tickets for all 3 of them to come home for 10 days - well 9 days due to Mother Nature being a witch and canceling all flights through Chicago on the day they were set to leave. Anywho, they hadn't been home in almost 3 years, and I finally got to meet my youngest niece! She really is such a ray of sunshine, and has this giggle that is infectuous. In fact, it pretty much sounds like Tickle Me Elmo! LOL Dad flew my other brother, Kolby in for the first weekend as well because he had to be home in Charlotte the 12th, but we managed to get family pics, a meal, and some hanging out shoved into the few days the whole family was home.

Work is... well, work. We're in our slow period right now so I do have an extra day off a week, but that means losing 7 hrs pay as well. On days that I am at work I try to stay busy with projects like creating indexes of my CU products so I can flip through a paper index when creating papers, etc during our busier times instead of opening files to figure out what I have. (I've found some CU stuff I would dump if it wasn't all ready burned to cd anyway in doing so!)

Thursday was my birthday. Dad and the kids decided to take me to Texas Roadhouse after picking up my BFF of 20 yrs and her son. That was mostly to force me onto the saddle despite my asking them not to though. Good food with good friends made it worthwhile. Haven't had cake as yet, but Micaila's birthday is a week form today so I'm sure I'll get plenty of it next week between making cupcakes for class and cake for home.

I used money from Xmas to catch up two of my favorite book series (I have several "favorite" series! :D ). I got the last two books in the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton, and the last two books in the Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur. I'm using the money from my birthday to get a new printer 'cause mine hasn't worked more than it has worked for a few months now. I'd managed to find this printer on sale at TigerDirect for $149.99, and asked Dad to check it out and research inks for me to see if it would be worth upgrading to it. My last printer was bought with birthday money 4 years ago. Dad managed to find the same printer - new in box - on eBay for $129.99 including shipping! And, then found a 15-pack of inks for it on another site for $53! I should be good to go for about 3 months or so before I need more ink. :)

CT change-ups...
Connie has asked me to become a member of her permanent team as her QP creator because the previous QP creator had to step down. That means I get her goodies in exchange for making QPs for her to give away now. :) I'll be a tad bit busy this weekend due to this as she has a HUGE number of new kits and template packs being released within the next week!

And, Lucie aka ad77design, has also asked me to stay on as a member of her permanent team! :)
