Happy Birthday SPF

This week Kristine wants us to celebrate SPF's 2nd b-day. We are to pose in front of our fridge while showing two. I have my fingers in a peace sign, you just can't see them.

I am so very ready for this weekend. I am starting to feel better finally. I don't know exactly what we are going to do this weekend, other than going to to the camera store and getting a frame for Sweetie's newest piece of artwork. I cannot wait to display it. Other than that I need to clean the house and prepare myself for the routine of studying again. I also have to walk this weekend, must practice for Mother's Day weekend.

Oh and I have to share this picture, this is Bug at the ENT on Tuesday. She was so big in the chair.I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am off to get some Peproni Rolls, yummy.

SPF: You

SPF this week : You - Throw a bunch of your STUFF together and show us “YOU”.
OK so while this is not the complete me, I think I did pretty good considering the two minutes I spent gathering items. What do we have here? First the background are my Swell Sheets - love them. The stage is my laptop - that is so me. Left back is the lunchbox that MotoDiva made me for my b-day, my running training book, my Garmin training watch, and my CatBus (My Friend Totoro). The front has a stone with "hope" on it, bath salts, my alpha omega prayer box necklace from Sweetie (love note inside so I have it close to my heart at all times), and a candle. I think that will about do it. That is me.

Didja play?

SPF : BEHIND and Haiku #3

This week's SPF - Behind. And since we do what Kristine tell us to without asking, I give you my behind pictures.

As this week's focus is MotoDiva, I give you her behind.
This is Bug from behind. I see this a lot lately as I chase her around.I was going to post a picture of how much I am behind at work, but cannot figure a way to do that without showing things I shouldn't. Busy is better than bored.

And now for our third installment of the Haiku for MotoDiva Challenge:

she has a talent
men take clothing off for her
oh how can I learn

SPF

"SPF: That was my favorite age with Kara. She was my little buddy and her favorite thing was to go check the mail with me. We were two little buddies who had no one but each other for friendship."

Two huh? Alrightly then.

Two branches with spring blooms. Two Duckies visiting my work.And last but not least, the first two portions of the CPA review that I begin next month.

SPF

SPF: Your letters.

That is what I am focusing on right now - be happy. I still feel sick and that is getting to me. Not to mention Sweetie has the flu. Yep, he went to the dr yesterday with a 103.4 fever and walked out with three prescriptions. I hope he feels better soon. No fun when everyone doesn't feel good. As of this morning his fever is down to 99 but he doesn't have a voice, now I could get used to that. And I know that decongestants make me bitchy but I think they also make me depressed. Blah.

This also means the weekend is very unplanned. We wanted to start on the flooring, but I think that would be too much for Sweetie. All I want is some time with my family, some time with myself, and to accomplish some chores. That would make me very happy.

I have to feel better for next week. I am starting my exercise program to get me in shape for SIL#2's wedding, the LiveStrong Challenge, and ultimately the Turkey Trot. You see I start this CPA process on 4/30/07. This will take 6 months to finish. I want to finish by my b-day - mid November. But not only do I want to finish, I want to finish healthy and stronger than when I started. I can stress easily. Stress leads to sickness. I believe that if I am healthier during the stress I can eliminate (or at least reduce) the sickness.

I also want to start back up on my 365 project. The difference will be that it will not be 365 pictures of me. It will be 365 pictures of my life. The pictures that I take will be things that strike me as interesting or beautiful. I am not sure if I am starting today but it is coming.

I cannot let myself fall into that hole again. So I am trying everything in my power to change things that put me there. I realized I keep ending up in the hole because of walking backwards and I don't see it. I need to turn around and face the future in order to side step another fall.

SPF - Luggage

This is Uhad - he is on our luggage - and you can get him too if you go to Sweetie's cafe press store. Isn't he cute

This her her new big girl bed.

And it may not be a lighter and it may not be an entry way step - but it seems there are some things in the genes. Watch out American Idol.

SPF

Once again Kristine tells us what to post for stuff portrait Friday. This week, SPF: ‘Your TO DO list’.

I have many to do lists. Due to a little person being in love with making lists herself, I am lacking in the post-it note department at home. But know, at work I have excel, word, and post-it notes to mark my to do list.

At home, everything sacred is kept on the computer. Or else you don't know where you might find your list. Here is my computer with three to-do lists. One in excel (of course), one in word, and one in omni-outliner.

SPF - and update

SPF: Random And Odd
Stuff Portrait Friday - Something RED:
OK, I can do red. Here is a red crayon on our bedspread. For bonus points I have Bug mimicking Sweetie last night while watching TV in our bedroom.









Bug is doing better today. Still home as the doctor ordered. Today was the first day since Sunday that she woke up with a smile. Yay. She is getting closer to being herself. Work has been good. I only had to use 1.5 days of PTO - Monday and half of Wednesday. I worked until 8 last night, which wasn't bad. Tonight I got out at 6, so that is good. The best part? My boss has asked how Bug is doing every day. This is huge. Asshole boss didn't and that was one of my biggest complaints.

I am doing good. Kinda of a sad day today. Not sure what is going on with that. I am also so tired. I am chalking that up to Bug being sick and our schedules out of whack. Blah.

While I am not sure that I lost weight this week, I do know that Sweetie said that my stomach looks smaller. I love it. I will know for sure this weekend when I do my measurements.

This weekend also marks a sewing day for SIL#2. We are getting together to add beads and such to her dress. It should be fun.

OK that is all that is fit to update, we are boring, lol. Have a great weekend.

SPF:

Buttons.

Not very creative, but the first thing that comes to mind when you mention buttons is Sweetie.

This is his bag and his collection of buttons.

This is the inside. And this is the outside. On the outside he keeps the buttons he designed. The top is a Specks Button, middle is what he made for Bug's b-day and the last is the one he made for my b-day. Next purchase in our house will be a button maker. Did you play?
