This and that

Well its been a couple of crazy weeks around my house. Some good things, some not so good things, we will try not to focus on the not so good things.


Jake got his braces off! Yes I have pictures, but not posting them yet, I havent gotten it with the before pic for you and you need to see that one to get the full effect. He looks great though!!


I had a birthday, Scott and I went away for my birthday weekend, Here are a few pics from where we went, and some reading material I brought along. We had a very good time the first night, the second night I wanted to kill him way too much togetherness, By Sunday AM he was nice to me again and made me a birthday breakfast.



the rest of my birthday sucked, Anyone who knows what happened, will agree with me, But I will just leave it at that for now.



Moving on, I had surgery on WED, the DR removed my lump from my collarbone area. Still dont know what it is, He told Scott he didnt know what it was just by looking at it, it was the size of a large grape. We are waiting biopsy results, keeping fingers crossed that it is nothing serious. I am still very sore, and the boys have all been very helpful this week, Jake told me to call him or text him If I needed anything ( we are in the same house, mind you) Alec has been a huge help getting sam to school for me, And Brett getting Sam home . Scott has been a trouper as well, he even fasted with me the day of the surgery to be a " united front" with me. That was sweet, But I told him to go eat when I went into surgery, lol.



The red sox opened their season in Japan, the game was on at 3 am, I DVR'd it and watched it later, lol. I would have gotten up the day of the surgery to watch it but knowing I couldnt drink anything even water, I stayed in bed and slept.



The other morning I was getting ready for work, and Sam was watching tv, I hear him say " Would they stop talking about Barrack Obama already?" I LOL'd at him. The kid is 5 and he is sick of hearing them talk about Obama. Granted he watched the news with Scott, and the today show with me every morning, but still.

ok, off for now.

Well it must be time for a post!

This will be quick, I am just taking a break from Scrapping. It is my yearly weekend in Portland for a scrapping convention, maegan and I come down here yearly for a scrapping weekend, This year, Marie( Maegans friend ) joined us, and our weekend was extended to three nights! I also for the first time stayed in the hotel by myself, and can I tell you how wonderful this time has been for me? OMG it has been heaven. The time to do what I want, when I want, I can scrap, I can drink wine and scrap, I can drink wine and take a bath, I can even drink wine and blog! I am loving the bed too! I am in a little studio at the residence inn , I love it!
it was also the day that the tickets for the Mariners went on sale, which means the RED SOX tickets for when they are here, went on sale. I was online at 9:55 ready to buy my tickets! they will be here for Alecs 19th birthday, so of course, I got us tickets for that day , in fact, I got Alec, Frankie ( Alecs BFF) and Myself 5th row field level tickets!! I cant wait for that game! I also got two tickets for Scott and I on Memorial day, and when they are here again in July I got six tickets for all of us one day, and two tickets for another, after that I was broke. Of course on Thursday before I left for Portland, I got Scott and I Alan Jackson Tickets for May 9th. Scott loves Alan Jackson, I like him, but if I want to go to concerts with my husband, I need to start finding people he loves, and I like!
Ok, I am off to do some more scrapping before I call it a night, I have gotten 10 - 2 page layouts done this weekend! I want to crank out two more before I go to sleep!
