Get your challenge on!!

Today is the last challenge of the month at PGD, and it's all mine! It's a Wild Card Challenge....Opposites Attract......You scrap the opposite way you usually do!
Like, I'm a complete jouranlphobe(I seriously hate journaling) and I'm all about the white space. So I forced myself to move out of the corner and use more of the page and I even journaled!


There's still time to catch up on any challenges you've missed--remember, the points roll over month to month!

I don't have a problem....I swear!

Brandy says I wear my obsessions. I like to think my clothing choices reflect my interests. I have my 'decent' shirts that I wear when we go some where nice, and the really dressy something for the occasional occasion that warrants it. But for every day wear, trips to WalBangers, hanging at MaMaws, I want to be comfortable, and wear things I like. That includes the oodles of Twilight shirts and jewelry I have, Death Note shirts, Kingdom Hearts shirts.....if I like it chances are good I can wear it! Adding to the list today, a Fangtasia Shirt :o)

I love it :D And just lemme say, I am glad I bought a Large. If that's a large I'd hate to see a small.I have more I plan on buying....a Merlotte's shirt, another Fangtasia one that has Life Begins at Night(they didn't have one of those when I ordered mine), a hat for Brandy.....

Amanda let me borrow her Sookie Stackhouse books....which I finished and immediately bought. *LOVE* them. Of course, I plowed through them the first time...now I'm rereading them, taking my time, enjoying them. They really are good. I suggest reading them. And watching True Blood....it's good, even though I'd say it's soft porn. Not so much season 2 as season 1, though.

Oooh ooh, I saw some New Moon merchandise---YES!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and can't wait until I can start buying stuff! I am beyond excited about the movie! Alee and I spent I don't know how long playing around on the NM Site today! http://www.newmoonthemovie.com/ It is soooo cool! We played in the Cullen House, reading about everyone, fangirl squealing about everything, and then we headed over to the La Push Reservation, read everything, fangirl squealed about about everything. Is it November yet??

Did I mention I was doing Battle of the Creative Teams? I'm playing for PGD, of course.
Here's my LO for the first challenge

We had to do white space,
coordinate our colors.
as an added bonus, we
all picked outdoor
photos.

Voting for round one just wrapped up and we're working on round 2. Of course, I'm miserable...I always am when I do these things. I just hate being told what I *have* to do.

Ohmahgawd....Gabe's supply list. 10 boxes of crayons. 10. That just blows my mind. Why? Why does every kid have to bring 10 boxes of 24 crayons? 2 different kinds of markers, 6-12 glue sticks, and then they want a supply fee! If I have to send money for supplies why am I buying 240 crayons, packs of cardstock, baby wipes, germ-x......And when did they stop using the fat kindergarten pencils? Did I miss something? We didn't have to go through this with Alee--we sent her to Abundant Life Chrisitan School for kindergarten, and they supplied everything. If we could afford the $400/month, she'd still be going, and Gabe too. The whole thing just isn't sitting well with me. I have no problem sending what my kids need for school, but I'm not supplying everyone else's kid.

And with that, I'm off I suppose. I have reading to do :P

Things that make me giggle...

I'm a sucker for a laugh. And when you take into account how lame my sense of humor is, that's pretty easy to do. I love really lame jokes. Those get me to laughing for hours. Wanna hear the best joke ever?? What did the snail say while riding on the turtles back?.............wheeeeeeeeee! See, I told ya--best joke you'll ever hear!

And today I thought I'd share some of my recent favorite giggles with you!

I love Death Note. Seriously.
Anything Death Note makes me smile. And this is just effin funny.
(and maybe true!)

Sticking with Vince.....
(I know, but ya just gotta watch it!)
P.S.Thanks AJ!


Love Twilight. But
you already knew that, right?
This makes me snort.

and this just makes me giggle....
kinda like a school girl..

The other thing that makes me giggle:
Playing 'my family
is crazier than yours' with Brandy.
I was winning. Like way winning.
And then he got a phone call. And got the winning
point for this round.
I hate losing.

So, that's it. That's what has me laughing like a loon lately.
There's not a whole lot going on around here. I'm waiting on From Dead to Worse to get here. I ended up ordering it from Wal-Mart since I couldn't find it anywhere(for the same price Wal-Mart offered). Once I finish it I have one more book left and then I can get'em back to Amanda(and buy my own :P) Did I mention they're really good books? Cause they are. Super good. Seriously good. Seriously. Oh....ahem. And I gots a Fangtasia shirt on the way. I'm a dork, I know. Can't help it. It's genetic.

Hello Stranger

I can not believe it's been 3 weeks since I've blogged. Seriously. Where did the time go? I mean, I knew I was a bad blogger, but still....
So, I guess that means time for a little game of catch up ;o)

We made it to Reelfoot. Nobody died-and that's amazing. There was much drama about getting into the cabin, and it was a million and 4 degrees. That made for very cranky people. Fun trip.
I do have just a few photos to share, and I put up a little less than half on my drop shots.

(Click these itty bitty ones for a better bigger look)

What you don't see are the pictures of everyone grumpy and being short with each other. When I say it's amazing that no one died I mean it was freaking AMAZING THAT NO ONE DIED. I had to fight the impulse to shove people off the dock and throw food and silverware. Love my family.

We've just been hanging out and doing lots of nothing. Enjoying the summer.

The 4th of July wasn't a big deal this year. It rained it's butt off most of the afternoon, cleared up just long enough for a few fireworks and some sparklers. Sparklers. Brandy and AJ made a sparkler bomb. When I say bomb I mean boom-bomb. The lady at the fireworks store told Brandy about it, and he was dying to try it. It was LOUD! And awesome. Mamaw spent the rest of the night bitching about the cops showing up and arresting us...it was that great. Jess was there, not Mason--so not going into that because the more I think about it the more it pisses me off. Granny(she left before it even got dark), Aunt Scotty, Uncle Keith & AJ. And us. None of the crazies, thank goodness!

I just love how this
one turned out

A while back I had read something about Light Writing.
Not exactly the way it's supposed to be done,
but close enough. And I love this.

Hm, what else?? Oh! I've been sucked into True Blood. I watched the first show way back when and immediately hated it. I was done with it. Didn't want to see more. But things happen, and I devoured the first season, and I hate waiting on each episode of the second season. And I'm reading the books. I mentioned something about buying them, and Amanda offered to let me borrow hers. Ohmahgawd. They are so good! I'm ready to start the 4th one--I spent all day yesterday reading, and nothing got done, so today I've been good and cleaned and crap first. I am SO buying these.

Hrm, I guess that's pretty much it for now!
