Once I have the time....

I've had a very busy couple of weeks at work, with overtime even. I have so little energy left at the end of the day. The week even! Good thing I have a list of the tasks I need to accomplish each night. Too bad doing dishes, taking a shower and going to bed aren't on it! Because those are the things I tend to put off but need to be done.

My list includes checking my email; checking the DSP store for new products; checking Facebook to see how many new app requests I have (not always pleasant!); paying new bills (I do that as they come in); then answering my email (first time through, I just get rid of anything I don't have to respond to!).

Unfortunately, this list is followed by work. Yup. We are in a real big crunch with just plain not enough time to get everything done. So I've been working overtime...the first time in about 20 years. I'm old. Overtime sucks. I don't have time to spend the money anyway.

At least not now. The only thing getting me through it, is dreaming about what I AM going to do with the money. My other half is (ahem, usually) good about me needing to work. I'm lucky to have a job. But we are both going to deserve a nice getaway when this is all done in a couple of months or so.

Once I have the time.

MyMemories Suite Album

OK, so Digital Scrapbook Place has teamed up with Polaroid to create the greatest easy scrapbook software ever! MyMemories Suite!! I did these 12 layouts in about an hour using an album I created for the software using DSP products!


You can buy the software from DSP - if you do, you get a $10 coupon to spend at DSP - and one FREE 6x6 photobook (26 page, softbound) with software purchase through April 12!! What more could you ask for?!

Check it out here!

It's been just crazeeeeeee at work lately. I work a full time job, only this month it's been full time and then some. Stressful stuff. Scrapping helps me relax - when I have the time!

DSP's 5th birthday is coming up. Be sure to check in and don't miss the festivities that will be starting during the last week of March!

I had a really rough week - thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I'm having leftovers for dinner tonight (easy!) and I've broken into the bottle of pre-mixed Mojito that I got for Christmas. Cheers!!!

Fleetwood Mac - 3/3/09

Yep...it's the Mickster! From the Minneapolis Fleetwood Mac show this week. It ROCKED!

Not My Day

Have you ever had something happen to you that in hindsight, you wished you would have scrapped? That happened to me today. I didn't slide my coffeemaker's carafe onto the plate right, and the auto-pour-a-cup thingie sprung into action. Unfortunately, this means that the water cannot drip from the basket to the pot. So it fills up. And up. And......over. Back into the reservoir (with the grounds). All over the countertop. And the water in the reservoir...well, it keeps recycling through the basket until it's finally all flowed out. Everywhere.

When I walked into the kitchen and saw the mess - well, not going to print what I said. Out loud. Loudly, out loud. Grounds and coffee are awful to clean up - even worse to pick out of the crevices and reservoir. I should have taken a picture.

New DSP Product: Card-Sized Instant Album

Is this not the cutest idea? ArtsCow fans will love these playing-card sized ploppers by Lauren Bavin. I use ArtsCow - I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to! How fun would a little deck of these be in your pocketbook??

It so rocks to be us...

"It rocks to be us" is something we frequently joked about to each other up until the last day we were in Mazatlan.
