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…

A Man and His Toys… *eyeroll*

July 19, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: husband | Leave a Comment


This is a husband rant. I love my husband but his little anal things irk the hell out of me sometimes and today he just got right under my skin with them.

He got this radio <-- for Christmas last year. He really wanted an iPod radio and this was the one my mom picked out for him. A little background about the hubs before I get into the rant. He takes *very* good care of his things…anally good care. Like he’s a leave-the-little-plastic-sticker-on-things-until-it-falls-off-on-its-own kind of guy. Which is fine, it’s his thing and usually I don’t have to deal with it. He also values his items and “protects” them like they are gold. To me, an item is an item and most things can be fixed or replaced. To him, it’s his and it’s the last one on earth. He gets really bent out of shape if someone breaks something of his. Ok, so to the rant. When I do the dishes I like to listen to music. We have an under the counter radio in the kitchen and I’ve made cd’s from my fave list on my ipod and they don’t seem to work right so I’ll listen to one cd or else I’ll bring this ipod radio in there to listen to. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? Oh…but it is! I put it on the washing machine and he doesn’t want it there because the cats can get up there. He doesn’t want it on the counter because there’s not enough room (um, there’s PLENTY of room) and I may knock it down. He doesn’t want it on the fridge because it’s too high up. The baker’s rack is too wobbly, the bathroom sink is not big enough, the toilet is well…the toilet and there’s no plug in the dining room. So today I put it in the little window we have above the sink. Guess what? Too close to water. He’s afraid I’ll ruin his precious radio. Like we can’t replace the damn thing. it’s an ITEM! Not a living being or something like that….!!! Ugh!!! Obviously he doesn’t want me using the thing, so I’m not going to anymore. It’s so irritating…all this mine/yours bullshit. We’re married fgs!! What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is yours…what happened to that. If we want to be so technical about it, the computer is mine. I bought 1/2 of it with MY money and my mom bought the rest of it for ME…not him, ME. But do I pull that card out on him? never. I’m going to be getting myself my very own little ipod radio and permanently put it in the kitchen on the baker’s rack. that way I can listen to it when I take a shower and when I do dishes and things. Screw him and his radio. I’m so done with this argument. Why would I ruin it? geez. /rant.

Kitty Crackups

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

It cracks me up how silly cats are. They will lay on anything that’s on the floor – roll themselves into a little catball and lay on a piece of paper, or a washcloth or whatever is on the floor or table…anywhere really. And boxes, omg…we buy canned food by the case since that’s all we feed the kitties and they ALWAYS sit, lay whatever in the empty boxes from the cases!

Here’s Malcolm in one of the boxes…(oooh I fixed the eyes, they look creepy now LOL I’ll have to play with that feature a bit more.) Right before I took this picture he was laying in this box. Of course as soon as I grabbed my camera he sat up!!

Another thing…what gets into them when they run through the house at full speed?? We have one long hallway that is the length of our house and they LOVE to zoom up and down the hall and chase each other!

Cats crack me up!

So, here’s a little crazy layout I made tonight…featuring our 4 crazy kitties! Razzle (Yidda), Alex (Fanna), Malcolm (Mooshy), and Jellybean (Beans).
