Bad Blogger! Bad Blogger!

Ok, so it's been nearly three months since I've updated my blog. Jerri has been hounding me every chance she got, Vikki's been asking when I'm going to update, and even the Hubby has been wondering if I'm ever going to "put more stuff on my web hickey" so I'm FINALLY updating as I lay here with Charm half hanging on the keyboard begging for attention and Hubby snores. :o) Gotta love a laptop!!! Ok.. here goes...

Life: One word... BUSY! Long version... Parents doing OK at the moment (AKA not telling me that anything's wrong, but we all know how they can be!), DH has been job swapping (and in the dog house, but is getting to see the outside a little now), I've been hitting it hard at work (It's busy baby season yanno) and I just got a new orientee to show the ropes to, I completely missed my neice's birthday (and she made sure to inform me that I Would be making up for that in a big way! LOL!), Money's tight as usual, I need to go back on my diet (AKA Clothes are getting tight again too), and so, life has been a little more crazy than usual. I tend to want to "hibernate" when things get rough and wrap myself into my comfy coccoon until it all blows over. I know it's bad for me, and to those of you who have been affected by it (and most of my friends and family have been lately) I'm terribly sorry. Good news is that THANKFULLY life is settling down nicely at the moment. Either that, or I'm getting used to it which scares me a little. Ahhhh... Mi Vida Loca... What can I say?

There have been a few happy, creative, make me wanna turn the music up loud and dance moments though. Thank you God for those moments! Without them, I'd be toast! :o) I've gotten to spend some quality time with Jerri while getting ready for the 2nd Annual Crop 2 Help Retreat, Mona has bee waaay supportive and has listened to all my whining, so has Jill and Vikki remembers to ask me how things are going frequently as well...to them I'm forever grateful! You girls Rock! I've gotten to play with some friends I've not seen in a while and made some new friends at the retreat. I've met another online friend and got to spend some time getting to know her face to face, I've enjoyed DumpsterVision while celebrating Mona's birthday, got to take Jill out for dinner on her birthday, had lunch a couple of times with my stampyscrappy friends and so I am blessed! Who would have known that just 3-ish years ago when I decided I wanted to start scrapbooking that I would have had this many True friends?!?! I tell ya, Scrapbookers do make the BEST friends! :o)

Ok.. so here are a few pics from the Crop 2 Help Retreat... If you get the chance, you NEED to come to this one next time! We have the Most Fun! And best of all it's for charity! Head on over to the Blog and see what it's all about! Thank You Jerri for allowing me to be a part of this!!! Once again, YOU ROCK!
