updates updates

i have been BUSY! designing for 2 digital scrapbooking stores! (yeah!) Finished the sketches for the super hero mural (start that when we return from Kauai!) Getting ready for the trip, getting the house ready for the g'rents to stay here, getting airbrush tanned (with an actual "technition" and an airbrush gun, not the booth kind), and bunches of other little stuff. wish i could write more, but gotta go! :)

this is soooo stupid, BUT

so a girl that i may have gone to high school with sent me a message on myspace. she said that she knew a christine in hight school, was it me? i thought this was a pretty vague question, but i decided to take the time to find out. i checked out her page on myspace, and she did go to my HS, same years. so i climed to the top of our closet, and grabed my yearbook. i looked through all of the senior year pics to find her name (btw, i only have her first name, and that nor her pic rang any bells) i found 1 girl with her name our senior year, but it doesn't really look like her. so i pull out the junior year. 2 girls with her name, the second one is her(about 90% sure). i feel bad, but i don't remember her. so, being nice, but not wanting to give out all my info, i tell her what sport i played in HS and who i hung out with. ( swear this is going somewhere!) so we'll see what she responds.
so. while looking for her, i stumbled upon a page in our yearbook, it was a page with an article regarding Prom. now a dear friend was a yearbook editor and photographer, so i am not knocking her, but hey, why'dya put THAT in there! in the article there is a photo of my then boyfriend with a quote reading "I could have a lot more fun spending a lot less money." well thanks richard, that's nice! good thing that was out AFTER prom! i guess i either never saw it to get peeved about it, or i just thought, yeah, that is something he would say. whatever. :)

if my mom had a bumpersticker it would read:

"Proud parent of a Digital Scrapbook DESIGNER!!!!!!!"

Woo Hoo! Yeah for me! Doing the Happy Dance!

I submitted 5 samples to 2 sites calling for designers, and lo and behold, they brought me on board!

they are:
liddy's loft Now Open!!!
2BScrapped Opening June 2006!

I am/was totally dumbfounded, still in awe!

oops! i did it again! new kit!

here is the preview, i will put links to download it soon! let me know what you guys think.

my little canibal

so when quinn says "cheeken" he is reffering to chicken. but not A chicken, but a chicken nugget or chicken tender that he eats. (what goes through their little minds when they learn that a chicken is an animal? do they make the connection, that hey, that thing is called a chicken, and i eat chicken, and, wait! hold on here! you mean i eat that thing?????) just something to think about. i mean we don't say, hey let's have some cow for dinner tonight.

anyway, the chicken reference is for the following story. we (meaning me and quinn is playing) were watching tv the other night. he was reading his books (okay, just looking at the pictures, but WAS saying the correct names for the objects) and playing. every once in a while he would look at the TV. i was watching a program on TLC, "Conception to Birth" (for NO reason other thant i find it soooo interesting and amazing). they were showing a human fetus at an early stage, i can't remember exactly how old, but no more than 8 weeks. he looked at it for a moment and said "chicken!". i giggled. no, i laughed. hard. i said "do you think that looks like chicken?" he replies "YEAH! some?" (meaning that he wants some to eat). he says the funniest things.

bikinis and side notes

so i got a swimsuit for hawaii yesterday (insert horrible music during the scene from Psycho here!) man i hate doing that. i really thing they need to instal some better lighting in the dressing rooms, 'cause honey, whatever light is blaring down on me DOES NOT make things purty. anyway, enough pissing and moaning. here's what i got. i am a little nervous!

i also got a comfy "workout" outfit, but it was on clearance, so you get no picture, but alyson, it's pink! sorry! but the top was 12 and crop pants were 4 so how could you say no?!?!?

on a side note: you know what SUCKS? prejudice. prejudice sucks. be it color or religion or lifestyle. i think all prejudices fall under the same category - BAD.

the things you do

qiunn is so damn cute.

yesterday was a little trying, he was either not feeling up to par (tired or teething) or he was testing me but he was SO cry-y and whine-y! every little thing started the water works wich was quite frustrating. enough of me being a whine-y butt.

today we started fresh. we played outside ALL morning (okay he played outside and i was doing sketches). beautiful warm day, i decided to let him play with a little water. which he put in the top of his sandbox. some of the water also ended up on the patio.

let's pause here. quinn does this thing. we call it the "oh mama!" he will cuddle up to something (usually me, his blanket or his puppy) and tuck his arem under him and say "oh mama!" or "oh puppy!" in this somewhat deep and loud voice.

let's resume. so, quinn sees the water on the patio, proceeds to lay down on it, tuck his arms under him, turn his head sideways and lay it on the cement and say "oh, wa-wa! oh, wa-wa!"

i about died laughing. he just stared at me, not knowing what was so funny.

dinner - oh yum! i am making the gilles' special! ya gotta try it!

oops! sorry! i tried to get a pic of the sandbox LID with the first link and i tried to link to aly's blog for the second link, i know it did link there, but not to the spot i wanted!

up up and away

so i REALLY want to get started designing another kit (okay, i have already started) but i HAVE to stop and work on the sketches for the superhero mural project. dont' get me wrong, it wil be so fun to paint that, but come on, would i rather create artsy stuff or superheros???? hmmm ...

funny quinn story (but you may have had to "have been there" to appreciate!)

we were in the glider (rocker) the other night and quinn was drinking his soy milk before bed time and i got the hiccups (side note: it can also be written hiccough. who knew?). bad. he started belly laughing so hard he couldn't drink his milk, so then he started coughing and trying to immitate me hiccupping and then i started laughing. oh man. i didn't think he would be able to get to sleep!

okay, i am going to go superheroville, i swear.
