day at the movies...i went and saw Premonition today--- i thought it was a great movie-- i am a sandra bullock fan though, so pretty much all her movies are good to me.
We shouldnt mess with fate, as the movies shows-- wont spoil it for those who havent seen it-- but it was worth the ten bucks to see it.
so what's everyone been up to? nothing exciting here-- working 6 days a week straight for the past 18 months can take its toll...lol... im needin a break!
soon-- it will come soon---
going on a weekend crop in april... should be fun--cozy group of 12...the century old house that we're staying in is cute.. everyone is sleeping in bunk beds...wont that be fun! im thinkin there wont be alot of sleepin happenin... i know i wont be...
then in may, we go to Deerhurst... cant wait for that-- we ahve a 2 bedroom townhouse at this 5 star resort in the Muskokas....(its a timeshare)before we go each year,we talk about selling it and buying land up there... and then when we are there-- we just cant bring ourselves to do it! we overlook the lake... i will post pictures this year when we get back...until we buy land up there, i dont think we will be selling this-- no way-- i just cant do it-- you go to bed to the sounds of the loons on the lake...wake up to the sunrise on the water... its a little slice of heaven... my one week a year of a holiday....lol....no way , i say! you cant take that away ! lol...lol....
so DH bought his new sled--he's like a little kid about it-- it certainly wasnt in the plans tho-- this past fall, he says to me: mind if i take some money and buy a used sled-- give me something to do this winter, and get out (with friends and neighbours that are in to it).... well, up until this past year, he has worked hi butt off--almost 70-80 hours a week straight for as long as i've been with him....(over 7 years....) so of course i told him to get it and enjoy-- not thinkin i unleashed a demon....! LOL...LOL.... now the used sled is "about to breakdown" at any moment--(dontchya know...lol...) and to prevent that we must have a new one..."but dont worry honey-- thos one will last me 5 years".... eegads... what have i done ! LOL...
hey- renee-- i need lessons on blogging --- yours is always a treat to visit--awesome visuals...
ki-i gotta come stalk ya soon--glad to see me 'linked'..lol... :)

Sleepy Saturday....it's raining outside...dark and poopy looking.....gross-- BUT -- on the PLUS side...this means that its SPRING !!! thank freakin goodness... i think i was starting to go 'snow' crazy...lol...
had a blast last night at the crop-- way too funny-- thanks tammy for providing some 'haha'...yes , we went back to the va-jay-jay thing again....LOL...LOL...
then of course my DH shows up, on his way home from work, to drop off a flyer i asked for-- and he stays a bit and chats with those he knows, and chats up those he just met....(he's in his heaven-- all women...LOL...) When he leaves, he said something--cant even remember what now...but michelle thought he said he was going home to "pleasure himself"...Bwaaahaaahaaahaaa !!!!(**we remember now what he said: he said he was going home to 'punish himself'...not sure why he said that, but thats what he said...LOL...LOL...) she went beat red, so did DH and the whole room was in total guffaw! OMG.... waay too funny....
ok-- so i am finally going to go see premonition tomorrow with raquel... we both cant wait----i have wanted to see it since it was out--hope its worth it--
im hoping ot get in some more scrap time... have 4 special layouts to do for someone...i hope she likes them.
i booked the hotel for the summer CHA !!! yay! cant wait for that too-- gonna have company this year*wink*wink**... that alone will be worth the trip-- chicago look out! too bad its so hard to get oprah tickets....that would be awesome! to go see her there too---

Happy St Patrick's Day!!!!!!!!!1how could i forget??? did you wear your "greens" today?? **blush** i think i was thinking spring this morning when i got up... i wasnt thinking "green" i know that...
I hope everyone enjoyed their day! i had an awesome day--
glad you stopped by lyn... we really have to get together,hun... my place is good too--i will come kidnap you one sunday!
great to see everyone today-- karan, lyn, wil, raquel and lots of others that 'popped' in...

cheers!!
well, what can i tell ya-- the sun is radiant today and its such a relief to feel its warmth...Thanks Wiarton Willy !!! :)
ok- last night we cropped til one a.m.-- made easter pails and layouts, ate, laughed and had a great time-- always is when we get together on friday nights...
i digress for a moment tho... and reflect on what strange 'creatures' women are.... I truly wish could be kind, caring , thughtful, MINDFUL, and sincere.... i know i try to go out of my way to "do" for others as much as i can, and sometimes to my detrement...and i too, can say or do something that is taken wrong, and i regret every moment or word that is taken wrong--because it is never intentional.. but man-- can women go for the throat! what is it with us ? women can be spiteful, backstabbing, jealous, vengeful---do i need to go on? wowser-- somedays, i wish i was a man!! ok-- enough of that-- i just shake my head at some of the things that "ladies" will do ! eegads....
ok-- back to feeling the sunshine...lol.... isnt it grand? this is a great day being spent with some friends, "playing" again...lol...and then going out tonight with DH to a movie-- i really want to see Premonition... a friend saw it and said it was great-- i cant wait til tonight to go see it.
i am working on a project of doing some altered canvases... looking forward to seeing how that is going to turn out--(i hope it turns out...LOL...)
ok-- i have to go for now-- shout outs to all my friends and hope you guys are having a fabulous saturday!!
i want to get out to check in with my fellow bloggers.... i have a new one to add here --- a friend of lyn's... thanks for stopping by here!! i will most definitely reciprocate...
cheerio everyone!!

sorry -- been MIA.....hey everyone~! sorry ive been MIA.... lots on the agenda these days and not enough hours in the day---
so how's everyone?? Spring is around the corner, i can FEEL it... yippee!! Actually, our winters arent really all that bad either-- we might have a few bad days here and there, but for the most part, our roads stay pretty clear of snow--which is all i really worry about.
hubby's all bummed out about the snow coming to an end...LOL..course, that would be because he just started snowmobiling this year and is hooked! im sure he will start pacing next november, looking for the first sign of snow again...eeegads...
thinking about a friend that had surgery the other day--- big hugs and prayers...glad you finally got rid of the 'rock'....no more pain will be a good thing! cant wait to start things up with you-- :)
i am itchin to do some re-decorating in the house... just cant decide "how"...or "what"... i want to change the banister to wrought iron spindles or whatever that part is called... then of course i would like to change the front room to hardwood instead of carpet--- that one might actually be a go--being as the potted tree we had in there dripped its sap all over the carpet--and made a 'ring' of discoloured markings around where the tree used to be...so might just claim under insurance...i also want to repaint the entire house (not bedrooms tho) Thats such a huge job...lol...dont know where im gonna find the time to do it! lol... dream on...lol...
how's everyone been out in blog land? i havent even had the chance to visit everyone-i will have to do that when im finished here.
i have some small projects i want to do today--and we have a dinner party to go to tonight--looking forward to it. Friends from the 'hood gathering. Always nice to see everyone--eat, drink, be merry !
i have to go check out jenns blog--must go see how her reno's are coming along--
Ki did an amazing layout on hers...its in the gallery too on the stores site-- she did a great job--and i really like the photo too.
i had a lady ask me to do a job for her--she's from way up north ! i cant wait--im looking forward to it!!
our girls weekend away is coming soon--looking forward to that too--cant wait-it will be a ton of fun im sure.
tomorrow we are celebrating mom's 70th birhtday!!(which is on monday) wow! i cant believe it-- time flies doesnt it? im so grateful for my parents --and all that they have done and continue to do. they are really amazing parents..Thank you mom and dad!! :)
well, off to blog land to see whats new out there... dont forget to set the clocks ahead tonight!! (damn--lose an hours sleep on a night that there will be some 'celebrating' being done...LOL...)
hey renne-- any more hotties on your blog before you left for california?? (im off to go check !)
cheers all !!
well,
