AHHH....Sheryl Crow Rocks!!!

Yep, I was there last night. Me, my best friend, and Sheryl Crow at the Ryman. It was a last minute offer that the tickets were given to me. I can't believe I actually hesitated about going. She rocked the house last night. Out of the many artists I've seen perform live, she's the only one who sounds better live than on the radio. After the concert was over, my friend and I decided to go up to the stage, in hopes that she would come back out for a "meet and greet" with the fans. Well, that didn't happen, but I did end up with one of her guitar pics and a playlist from the show. I can't wait to get some of her music uploaded to my nano!

Monday, Monday

I'm prepping myself for a long, hard day of housework. It needs to be done, and I'm sure I'll be glad when it is. Since I'd rather be scrappin', here's a little fun from the 2peas website before the real work begins!

List top 5-10 strength of yours as a scrapbooker.
1) I like to think I'm pretty good at mixing and matching different paper lines on a page.
2) I'm never afraid to try new techniques.
3) I save those scraps! You never know when you might need them!
4) Dragging out the old stuff and making it new again :)
5) completing layouts! I usually seem to get atleast one layout finished a week.

List top 5-10 weakness of yours as a scrapbooker.
1) I'm a paper hoarder! I buy all the cute stuff, and never have any pictures to go with it.
2) ORGANIZATION!!! Big-time lacking in this area!
3) I don't get out enough to crop with other scrappers
4) Journaling--I'm always reluctant to journal on a page for some odd reason?
5) Quickutz- This is a recent weakness....I've been buying dies to no end....

Bryce's 2 year portraits

I took Bryce to Portrait Innovations on Friday to have his two year portraits made. They did such a wonderful job! I had the hardest time deciding on which poses to choose. I narrowed it from 85 poses down to 8, so I feel like I did pretty good!

He was such a trooper throughout this hour and a half ordeal. He started out a little camera shy, but ended up being the biggest camera ham you've ever seen!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

I'm officially the big "2-7" today. YipEe!! I don't really have anything big planned today, since I feel like I ran all over the country yesterday. Bryce had his post-op follow-up appointment yesterday at Vanderbilt. We had to be there at 8:30, which I should've known would be impossible. Traffic going into Nashville on a rainy morning is horrible! Plus the construction around the hospital that rerouted me from my usual streets and turned me around. But on the upside of things, Bryce's ear is healing better than expected! No more surgeries in his near future. Thank God! OH!! I seriously contemplated walking through the ER while I was at Vandy to see if I could spot Dr. Stork (aka "The Bachelor"). I wonder if they have any patients that fake symptoms just to get in there to see him??

Hubby and I have lined up a sitter for tonight, and we're going out for dinner! It's been so long since we've been out alone together, I can't even remember the last time!

Rain, rain go away!

It has rained in middle Tennessee ALL weekend! And to beat all, it's such a COLD rain. YUCK! I wish that I didn't have to get out in it, but like the money-hungry mom I am, I signed up for 24 hours of call today at the hospital. Lovely....I got awakened by the sound of my beeper. It's almost like scraping fingernails down a chalkboard! Eight hours down, sixteen to go!

I'm so excited!! I'm planning a girl's trip to Scottsdale, Arizona the first week of April! I really hope everything works out. I have approval from hubby ;) and the PTO request is in! Next step, plane tickets baby!

Meme challenge #18

This week [Jan 16th] we are taking an exercise from Julia Cameron's The Sound of Paper.

The artist soul thrives on adventure. Many adventures require that we muster the courage to be a beginner.

List five things you would love to do, if you didn't have to do them perfectly.

1. If I didn't have to do it perfectly, I'd try opening up my own coffee shop.
2. If I didn't have to do it perfectly, I'd try competeing in a triathalon.
3. If I didn't have to do it perfectly, I'd try modeling.
4. If I didn't have to do it perfectly, I'd try singing.
5. If I didn't have to do it perfectly, I'd try professional photography.

Finally Bloggin' Baby!!

I'm finally jumping on the blog bandwagon! I guess I'll try this out and see how I like it. I'm sure my husband will be less than enthused since he thinks I spend WAY to much time on the computer as it is.
