geeked out Saturday!

It was so gorgeous today! Sunny and hot, you know I was in heaven!! It was our usual Saturday lunch at Mamaw's. We ate and all immediately hit the yard for the rest of the day. I think the fresh air kept us from all killing each other. It was close a few times, but we just walked away for a little while until the nerves settled. ;o)

My honey and I were geeked out today, he was in Naruto, I was in Death Note :P



I'm just jazzed I have a decent photo of the two of us. Neither one of us ever likes the photos we're in, so to actually get one we're both saying 'not the bad' about is a big deal :P

Ooooh, I have to show you this kit of Monica's. O.M.G. I love it!! here's the kit--Urban Life(this is the collection that has the bonus papers and alpha in it--seriously, it's the only way to go!)



and the layout I did with it(I've had this sitting there for a couple weeks-when the Studio FEMNZ April Grab bag came out(that's where the box is from)-I just couldn't get anything to work right with it. And then Monica dropped this kit on me!

I'm not usually one for extractions anymore(I'm just too lazy these days), but I knew what I wanted to do when I saw that box. I'm pretty pleased with it, especially since it's finally finished :P

Tomorrow is going to be another gorgeous day, and we're planning on spending the day out in the yard--Brandy's grilling out-YUMMERS!!

Think I'll go catch a few Death Note episodes before bed time :D

just a filler.....

I've been doing pretty good about blogging lately, I didn't want to let too many days go between my nonsense. I really don't have anything. At all.

I did go to Hot Topic today. It was a total bust. I knew it was bad when I could see all the Fred crap from outside and nothing Twilight.....um, nothing against Fred. He just annoys me after about 8 nano seconds. The Twilight garb has been shoved up against a wall, and it's slim pickings :'( I'm hoping New Moon merchandising starts soon. Like really soon. And Death Note! The horror! Do you know they only had 3 lousy shirts? Should have just shopped online. I can totally get Brandy the Light clothes, and Missa myself up and we can just go to town ;0)

Oh! Spencer's had the Twilight puzzle and game. I just couldn't bring myself to pick either up. Yet. I'm sure, before it's all said and done, I will own them.

Um, we stopped by Sonic......grilled chicken sandwich and a chocolate milkshake-yumO! Doesn't get much better than that!

Yah, that's all I've got today!!

Eclipse has a director

So many director rumors for this movie. I was frankly getting a little turned off. But, finally, Summit made the announcement. David Slade will be directing Eclipse. I had to imdb this guy...I haven't watched Hard Candy or 30 Days of Night, so I don't really have an opinion on this one yet. I'll be doing my homework, though, and I promise you an opinion eventually :P

I don't have much else in the way of anything to talk about. I've got, um, 3 scrap pages I've got started and need to finish. Maybe 4, I'm not sure :/ I want to play R6V2, but Brandy's all over this stupid COD game and won't play with me. E's running a fever. Last night she was warm, this morning she was HOT. We've battled it all day long, and currently she's at very warm status, so we're making headway, I guess. She's all laid out beside me with "bank"(that's her blankie, for those of you not in the know..I swear she's going to get married with it. Maybe it'll be her veil). I dug out some summer clothes. It's going to be 85 Friday! I can't wait, and neither can the kids. I should live somewhere tropical, where it's hot and humid year round--that's the only time I'm truly happy!

So, yeah. That's about it today. I think maybe I'm going to watch the Death Note movie
*mwah*

rethinking this whole Team Edward thing....

Ok, so not really. I've been Team Edward since day one. But HELLO! hot damn! You gotta admit, these wolf boys are nice to look at!


Um, just a sec....how old are these boys again? Dang, I don't want to be a nasty old woman drooling over kids.....I'm only looking the ones over the age of 18 pleasepleasegodletatleastoneofthembeleagal

And I'm totally digging the whole pack tattoo....hot. I like tattoos. Tattoos on half nekkid guys(the over-18-legal-ones, ya know) are better.

November is going to take forever to get here. I'm not even kidding. Seriously.

(Random moment: OMG, the cat is so humping the dog right now! He's just going to town and getting nowhere fast!)

I love all the set photos popping up....I've devoured the pool ones. I just really don't want a cheesy CGI movie, ya know? But, I'm holding on to my "this movie is so going to rock" frame of mind! I'm just so jazzed at how much it looks like the book! I'm dying for New Moon merchandise to start hitting the stores...Brandy's going to hate me :P Could be worse, I keep telling him...(he asks how, for which I have no answer)

(Random moment: wow, stitch has got some serious staying power! I don't think he gets boy cat+boy dog=no fun...I wonder if I should get him some water.....)



And that about wraps it up! I'm off to Hulu to get my Death Note fix!!

Real quick like!

So I just have to shout it.......one of my LO's made Gallery Standouts! Do you know how freaking awesome that is? I'm just floored!

Just look! My LO! ---> http://www.gallerystandouts.com (it's the doodly looking one I did with the brushes)

Yay!

Ok, seriously? I mean....seriously?

I wish people would just pull their heads out of the asses sometimes. Sure, idiots are amusing most of the time, but sometimes I just want to kick them.

All day long it's been 'Stephenie Meyer's being sued' and 'New Moon over' and blahblahBLAH.

7 seconds into the "article" and I'm already calling bullshit. "production was halted on a Studio City California production lot where New Moon is finishing post production." Wow...you mean Studio City California is in Vancouver Canada? Hmph. It's a wonder I didn't fail geography if that's the case. Dr. Peter Benton? Seriously? We spent Fridays in my Nursing class my Jr. and Sr. years of high school watching ER...try again, moron. So I finish the article, just for shits and giggles, and I find myself imaging running over this person. You'd think someone might try a bit harder....at least get some of the facts down. And the Lex more or less confirms it. God love the Lex!

Anywho....time for Fangirl squeeeeeeeeing! Lookielooklook! I am SO happy :D




Ooh, and apparently 'seriously' is the word of the month....I seem to be using it every sentence :P

A few of my favorite things.....

I really am a random person. Truly. My likes go from one set of things to another, usually the complete opposite. I do love things other than Twilight(gasp! I said it!)....don't get me wrong. I *love* all things Twilight, it's just not the only thing on my list. Have you recovered from that shocking revelation yet? You might want to stay sitting down. Because I'm completely bored out of my mind at 2:15 in the morning, I'm going to introduce you to two more things that make me the random goof that I am.

1st up we have Naruto. We're all little Naruto fans around here. Gabe and E especially. And, since I'm a facebook flair whore, I have some of my recent Naruto flair faves for you :o)

I love Choji! And Akamaru. Chowder's name was almost Akamaru...too bad he wasn't a white puppy, lol! And the current hit around here is this little beauty:




And now for my 'secret' favorite thing--I don't think Brandy even realizes that I like this the way I do. I 'suffer' through the shows with him..... ;o)

I am a Death Note fan. I think I might have even Tweeted some Death Note things tonight while I was trolling around. Yes, I love Death Note. I have to say, I honestly don't get the obsession with L. I'm more of a Light Yagami(Kira) fan myself. I mean yeah, L is cool and all, and I don't not like him, I just like Kira better. Maybe it's because I'm slightly twisted. I have decided that I do need my own Shinigami. I'd say it's even worth giving up half my life span over ;o)

And, for the record, I do prefer Manga to Anime. But, I'll take what I can get ;o)


And yep, I've got some Death Note flair :P



and while browsing around deviantART(oh how do I love deviantART) I found these:



Pretty sweet, huh? Or not, I guess, if it's not your thing. So, yah. That's a little bit more of me you now know :P

Anywho, onto other things! I think I've done like 8 layouts in the last 3 days or so. Which is a ton for me. And I've still got 2 more that I've started and haven't finished yet. Out of those, I've got a few that I really love!


This is with Amanda's new kit, A mother's love. The subject matter is obvious ;o)

This one is with some Rachel goodness

These next 2 are with Monica's part of the FEMNZ April Grab Bag

Don't forget to head over to PGD and make your donation to Helping Hand for the charity kit!

And now, since it's 2:30 and I've probably bored you to tears, I'm off to watch some tv before bedtime!!

Lots of nothingness today!

I have tons to catch you up on, so let's get to it!!

First, April is Autism Awareness Month. Pixel Gypsy Designs has teamed up with the National Autism Association to raise money for the Helping Hand program during Autism Awareness month. The Helping Hand program is a donation driven, financial aid program that provides grant money to families in need who have dependents with Autism to help pay for therapy, biomedical treatments and supplements.

Now, I know so many people have been burned by charity kits and such(I know I'm very picky about who I deal with when it comes to this), but have no fear! PGD has set it up so that your donations are made directly to Helping Hand.

When you donate $10 to Helping Hand, you will get an amazing kit put together by the PGD Designers....just look!




Is it not the most gorgeous kit? But wait! There's more! Donate over $10 and receive the Uniquely You Mega Collab Kit PLUS a PGD Gift Certificate equal to the amount that you donated over $10 (example: donate $50 to helping hand and receive the mega collab plus a $40 gift certificate)! How sweet is that? And here's a LO I did using it


So what are you waiting for?? Head here-->http://www.pixelgypsydesigns.com/naa to read all the details, and for the link to make donations(http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/proddetail.php?prod=PixelGypsyDonations)


In other news....LOL!
Easter is over. Of course my kids were sick. Naturally. And so was Mason. It kills me that all four of them always get sick at the same time. They were all dripping snot and running fever. But everyone was in a pretty good mood....maybe it was all the sugar! What's that? What's my favorite photo from Easter? I'm so glad you asked! Just take a looksie at this and tell me it's not great!



I love it! Masey was screaming so I stuck it on his head(no worries folks, it was way bigger than his tiny little head, plenty of room)
The kids ended up with way more candy than they ever need, and had fun egg hunting-well, the girls did...Gabe didn't want to hunt eggs, he felt so bad. Jess drove everyone batty with her "I gotta be at work at 6:30. AM. In the morning"..... it was real drama *giggle* The bummer of the day was it rained so hard, and I totally didn't have my Twilight umbrella. I left it home cause I was just so sure it was going to hold off until night. I was really bummed :o(


Ready for some Twilight news?? I really don't have much. I'm not exactly thrilled with a lot of the casting. Dakota Fanning is Jane--BARF! Jamie Campbell Bower is Caius--Double BARF! Michael Sheen is Aro--WTF?? My only bright spot in the casting hooplah has been that Tinsle Korey is Emily--that one I'm extremely pleased about! Oooh, and I read that a party scene with the Cullen's and Bella is scheduled to be shot tomorrow. Party? Bella? Cullen's? Sounds like some pretty sweet paper cut action to me! You all know how jazzed I was about Twilight...it's worse with New Moon. Seriously, I had my doubts at first. I'm not a fan of switching directors for every movie in a saga. The whole Taylor thing bugged me(seriously, how could they NOT want to keep him?!)...but the more I read, the more I see, my expectations are very high for this movie!! 219 days to go!!

Oh, Little Edward! He says hi! ;o)

Have I told yall how in love I am with Paranormal State? OMG, it's not even funny! I so wish I live in Pennsylvania so I could apply to be a part of the PRS :o( The show scares me shitless, of course. I can't watch it alone(well, I can, I'd just prefer not to!) , but I never miss it...I count down the minutes until it's on. The whole thing fascinates me, on so many levels. I am such a believer, and such a wuss! There are things I could tell you that would make you look at me like I'm completely looney(ok, more than you already do!).............

Anywho, that's it for now. There's more, but I am seriously starving and need to feed the heathens. We're having chicken stuff--I think it's really called Italian Chicken with green beans and rice or some nonsense, but chicken stuff works here. It's chicken, italian style green beans, rice, and tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano all mixed up in a pot. Super duper yummy. I just wish I didn't have to cut the chicken--gag me with a spoon!

*mwah*

too fun!

Catching up on my blog reading, I found this at Christine's blog....it is so cool! I put the blog addy in and poof! The words most used in my blog(the bigger the word, the more I've used it)




It kills me how big 'Got Twilight' is! LOL!!

You can do your own here! http://www.wordle.net


I know, I know.....it's been weeks since I've blogged. Things have been....hectic to day the least. I haven't been myself, but things are better...and I'm getting back to blogging....tomorrow :o) Paranormal State is on and I must watch it--commercial is over :P

aaaannnnddd....I'm back

I think I've got everything done. I moved most everything over, except the stuff about project 365. I'm not doing it anymore,and it just seemed like a waste. I've still got a few things to get the kinks out of....I'm moving to slider instead of rockyou, so you'll just have to deal with the layouts only showing a bit until I get all my stuff uploaded over there--right now it's just a place holder :P

I haven't been doing much scrapping, just a page here and there. But, I had a great idea the other day, and kind of ran with it. I think it's one of my new favorites(and I don't have many, LOL!)

This LO is kind of my evil side coming out. It's not real obvious, but it's in direct answer to a thread at a *certain* scrapping board.....the more I read "I'm so sick of hearing about Twilight" "I don't want to see anymore Twilight layouts".....well, you get the idea ;o) I can't let an opportunity like that pass me by, now can I? Anywho, things just kinda happened with that LO, the more I worked on it the more I liked it.

Hmm....Oh! Did I tell you I got myself a little Edward?(I guess it's kind of obvious from the layout, huh?) Well, you get to hear about it anyway. We were in Spencers, and I just couldn't pass it up again. Brandy's been a real good sport about it, though sometimes I do catch him looking at me with that maybe she's finally gone off the deep end look. So, yeah, I've got a Little Edward(Pocket Edward is so everywhere!) I'll end up with everyone NECA makes, I'm dying for Alice to come out! So now, say hello to Little Edward(if you get my tweets or hang at BOM you've probably already met him and head all about him!)



Aint he just a doll? LOL!!

I really don't have much to blog about today. I really should be cleaning the house, but I keep putting it off until after lunch :P
