playing catch up

It has been a week, I will start with that. No , first I will tell you all how mad I am that I have had a roast cooking in the crockpot since 11am and now, at 8 pm, its still not finished. I guess we are having it tomorrow, but that is not the point, the point is, that was my dinner tonight! I think it was too big... next time I know better.
Scott and I had a great time last weekend for our anniversary, WOW, it seems like that was a lifetime ago, so much has changed since then... but let me post some pictures for you from our night out, The pictures of the steakhouse, and the Paramount were taken from our hotel room windows. Scott had planned it all perfectly. We walked out of our hotel , and walked across the street, and after dinner we walked one block up to the Paramount to see Phantom of the opera. Which was wonderful by the way. we had a really good time, The picture of the dinner table was what we were seated at. They told us the had to put the finishing touches on our table before they sat us, that must have been what they were talking about. And the food was amazing, I have never, ever tasted a steak like that.

Move on to this week, IT has been wicked. We have had one fight after another, and it ended up very bad... Not wanting to go into detail here, All I can say is that it hasnt been good. We cant seem to function in every day life, Its all great when we have the rare chance of being alone outside of the house, but bring us home, and we cant function. In fact , I dont like him. Which isnt good. I can say I have an appt with a counseler on Tuesday, it should be interesting... I will go alone at first, then, if I want, Scott will join me. Where we are right now is , HE is wanting this to work, and I am done... I will let you know how it goes.


Ok, Done for now, I just felt like I needed to keep you all updated!

Big night this weekend!

Scott has planned a big night for us on SAT. Our 7th anniversary is on Monday, and after all the birthdays and the trip this summer that I planned, I told him I was done planning, and if he wanted to do anything for our anniversary, it was up to him to plan.
We will be staying at the paramount hotel for the night, Then we have dinner reservations at Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and after dinner we will be seeing the Phantom of the opera. Not to mention the morning , which I am having a pedicure, and then shopping at Sephora at the new Westfield Shopping mall at South Center. ( Meagan, All those links were for you! I know how you love doing that!)
I will have to post after with pictures and Details, but I must say, I am just impressed with his planning!

And on other news, the red sox are in the playoffs again this year, and again they are playing the Angels. the won game one last night, and game two is Friday night, and I have to tell you, I am so happy that they are OFF on SAT , cause I cant say that I would have been able to keep my mind on the Phantom, when the red sox were playing a playoff game!!! Thanks GOD I dont have to deal with that!!!

We had our second Annual Scrap pink event at the Scrapbook Nook on Sat. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. IT was a huge success, and tons of fun, And if your a fan of pink, then this was the place for you!
It was a very long day, but tons of fun, We had severval people that were with us last year as well as this year, I never could get them all in one picture, but I got them here and there.
The beautiful cake was made By Jenns Sweet Cakes, it was very yummy and very popular around here.

The last picture of Julie, Myself, and Jill. They are the ladies that I scrap with at the friday night moonlighters, about once a month. Jill was also my roommate at the Keepsake Cottage earlier this month.

the Keepsake Cottage!


A couple of weeks ago I stayed at the Keepsake cottage, its a wonderful scrapbook retreat cottage located in Auburn( very close to home). the cottage will sleep 14, we had ten ladies, IT is wonderful cause the hostess, Katie, cooks all your meals for you, from Friday at 2 till sunday at 2, all you need to worry about is Scrapping! ( or holding your place in line for the cricut expression, cause Katie has 55 cartridges) .
( I dont know why the above paragraph is underlined ,and I sure dont know how to remove it, lol)
workspace for the 14 ladies!

Lynette and I on SAT, we were tired, not much sleep the night before!
katie takes pictures of all her guests the night before the leave, you cant tell in the picture, but she has a beautiful view of MT Rainer.
I got a bunch of layouts done, 30 total, it was a wonderful weekend, nice to get away, and very nice to not have anything to do but scrap for the whole weekend!


again, I dont know what I did to this post, if it links you somewhere, I didnt mean to!! LOL
the first picture was the room Jill and I stayed in, all the rooms are different, all just as fun as the one before, Her youngest daughter Molly, picked out the decor for my room!
