Thursday Randomness

July 31, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

This is kind of late, but I was watching TransAmerica on Lifetime and wanted to finish it before I really got into writing a blog and posting my scrappy layout for the day. The movie was good. Kind of weird to see a woman playing a man dressing as a woman, but the movie was good.

Earlier this evening, I had to cut some mats off the back end of Topaz. We’ve totally neglected to pay attention to his hind end. He won’t let me brush that area so it got so matted. I had to cut them down pretty close to the skin so now the poor boy has a really bad cut on his back end! I feel really bad, I hope he doesn’t get a complex…but the mats are gone. And I’ll have to keep up on the brushing to make sure he doesn’t get anymore. Unfortunately, I didn’t get pictures. Maybe tomorrow. He also slept a lot after he was outside “swimming”…I really hope he’s ok. It’s been 94 days since his last seizure and I’d like to keep that streak going!

On to the scrappy things because I have to get to bed.

This page is of my husband. Because of his diseases, he has memory loss. It’s so frustrating at times, but we really try to keep things light and fun, so I’ve been telling him to look on the bright side…when he watches tv, there’s never a rerun on! He doesn’t ever remember if he’s seen that episode or not! haha. I’m not making fun, really. I’m trying to make the best out of a not so great situation…what else can ya do? It’s all in love anyways.

Sunday's Ramblings

July 20, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment


I’m over yesterday’s hubby rant and all is well again in our humble abode. Actually he’s at work and I’m enjoying some quiet time while the zoo is napping. It’s funny, they are literally laying all over the house. Onyx (Missy) is in the dining room…her and I spent some intimate time cutting the mats off her underarea earlier so she’s a bit miffed with me…Topaz (Puppa) is in the hallway sprawled out, Razzle (Yidda) is in the kitchen on the floor, Malcolm (Mooshy) is in the kitchen on the stove…he always lays there, it’s warm and he likes to be up high…Alex (Fana) is in the laundry room on the rug and Beans is under the bed in her hiding spot.

And me? Well I’m sitting here in my purpley office in my jammies searching the net for scrappy freebies. Oh, and I’m printing invites for my sister’s wedding. We kind of had a girls’ day yesterday (just my sisters and me) and went shopping, to Thai for dinner…and I had this new YUMMY peanut sauce dish with broccoli, chicken and cabbage – YUM!…and then we came back here and searched the net a little for favor ideas and then tweaked my sister’s wedding invites and started printing them a bit. It was a good time!

Today’s layout is another of my nephew. I feel like I am always making one with my other nephew and niece and not as many of my older nephew. I have tons of pictures of him growing up but they’re all on floppy disks and this pc doesn’t have a floppy drive. I need to put them onto CD’s so I can use them!

Everytime I pull my camera out Elijah is posing or setting up some kind of scenario for me to take a picture of or video. Here’s a picture of him from a few Thanksgivings ago where he wanted it to look like he was chasing or trying to kill the turkey for dinner.


Well the husband is on his way home and I have to repackage 40lbs of chicken backs to be refrozen. Fun, yucky stuff! lol

I may be back later with another layout later. There’s a picture of my niece that would go perfectly with the Digitreats “skip” set…

Fabu Friday!

July 18, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

Today is my luxurious day off and so far it’s about 3:00 and I have done nothing. Heh, it’s all good though. I actually felt rested when I woke up this morning at like 6:30 to a dog nose on my arm. I ended being up for an hour just about wide awake sitting there thinking how I could go to work right then and probably have been fine all day.

I think i know what’s been wrong with me all week. I was completely out of one of my medications for a week due to the whole check mixup…and I was able to get it filled and get back on it. I know it will take a few days to get into my system, but I think I felt better just having it in the house again and being able to take it.

So, a good night’s sleep and a whole day to do what I need to do. Sounds like a winner to me.

I wanted to write quick and post the page I just finished before I go get started on the dishes…ugh…the most dreaded thing on earth!

I found this great word art today during my freebie search and it fit PERFECTLY with the picture of my nephew and my dad that I used in the layout the other day, so I used it again and I even found another one and was able to use two smaller pictures.
