Best week ever!!!

I just want to give Big Daddy a shout out!

What a great, great week!
I love you so very much.
You know you rock.

This one's for you....

Sabotage.....

Have you ever committed sabotage against yourself?

You knew you were doing it, but you just couldn't help yourself?

You tried to stop, but it seems the more you try the more you do it?


For me, self-sabotage is a long running problem.

I begin to believe I will fail.

I lose faith in myself.

I get scared.



It's so sad really.


My latest self-sabatoge: Weight Watchers


(I know. I know. I know what you're thinking. You've been doing great.
And I have. And I've been thinking it to.)


But, from the moment I realized I am 1.4 lbs. away from meeting my 1st major goal....
....I have been bad. Not horribly bad. It could be worse.......
....but so far the bad has included ice cream (albeit sugar-free,) brownies and I followed that up with a healthy dose of chinese food, with the leftovers even eaten as breakfast this morning......


ACK!


It's just with the impending "meeting" of this goal......

.....there is the pressure of the next goal.


~what should the next goal be?
~what's a realistic next goal?
~what if it stops working and I start failing?
~will I dissapoint those cheering me on?
~will I dissapoint myself?


All I know is......I'm mad at myself and it's driving my crazy.

Latest scrapbooking......

Ok....I am in love with this one........I have always wanted to do a "All About Me" type layout, but I just never had quite the perfect picture. Until now!

This was me at the tattoo parlor in Savannah when Sherry and I
got our tattoos. Isn't it a cool picture?! So, based on that, I fell in love with these pink/black Rusty Pickle Pirate Princess papers! They are fun! But, I thought they fit the "bad girl" feel quite well!


And this, is yet another example of working with things that have been in your stash to scrapbook. I've had this base page w/ the flap for probably about 6 years. At first I was saving it for "just the perfect" layout. And 6 years later it was in the bottom of a paper holder....just gathering dust. So, I took it out and laid it where I could see it....looking for pics that would match and work with it. I decided to use it with the "outside" pics, because it reminds me of the color of the sky on a perfect day....even if it is actually a striped pattern. Anyway, I was at the crop and I couldn't decide what to use with it. So, I found the rub-ons that matched other scraps I had previously used and some solid scraps....and viola' .... I made it work...... It's not perfect, but I still really like it. My white doodling pen was being a pain in the booty and that was making me nuts!

As it looks in the book.....

And open......

So....tell me what you think!!!!

Interview Me.....

Ok....I'm having so much fun coming up with "interviews" for everyone....I want to do some more.


So, SEND ME YOUR QUESTIONS!

Ask me whatever you really want to know.....

Here's your chance....

Post your questions in the comments section of this post....
and I will answer them!!!!!!!



Bring it on!!!!

Self-Portrait Thursday?

Well, I took it on Tuesday, like the "rules" state. I just didn't have access to post it until today!


I guess I'll really have to try to take the pic and post it on TUESDAY.....next week!!!!

Self-Portrait Tuesday

Just me...

So, I went to see the therapist today. And it was great. She's very motherly. She's gentle and kind. I can't wait to continue down this road of discovery and continue to release some of these feelings that I've been experiencing. For today, I'm happy.






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Self-portrait Tuesday is something I've been seeing on blogs for quite some time. I've been wanting to do it, but I was a little afraid to try it. Well, Jamie pointed out that there are never any pics of me, so I decided to give it a whirl, so my kids will have some photos of me. So, I tried it and guess what?! It's super fun!!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. My challange to you is: if you have a blog...join into Self-Portrait Tuesday.
Let others really SEE you!
