Happy Weekend !

Have a good weekend everyone ! Here are some Halloween friends that are in my living front living room. I love the house and my little ghost friend that goes right next to it that I found this year !

ENJOY ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !

Here is some Creativity for you !!

Here are some of the cards from my card exchange at work. I promised I would show you all some of them and so here they are !


It was a really fun time and we all did such a good job and got some really cute and cool cards in exchange.

I had to give you a close up of these cute spider webs and spiders on this halloween card. Cute, huh ! :)

My friends Tanya and Lori did these. Love the bath tub as well the Live, Laugh and Love. Just love that stamp and the bright red colors.

Isn't this peach one also so pretty ! Cindy did this card.

So cute and so fun !

Well I wanted to post all of these for all you stampers out there in hope to show you come great cards, great ideas and great inspiration. Hope I have done that for you today.

Sounds like a nice SUNNNNNNY.. ( finally ) day. So I better get to work and get all my chores done so I can enjoy the nice bright day !!

Prescription Drugs are Robbery !

So I didn't have that good of a doctors appointment this week. But I was pleased to get something for my terrible migraines and pain. I had tried over the counter meds and nothing seems to really even make a dent in pain.

However I was extremely shocked when I went to fill my perscraiption. My co-pay was 48.00 for 9 pills of imitrex with a retail value of 235.99. Can you believe that ?????
235.99 for 9 pills. There is seriously something wrong with this world that a pill cost that much. That means these pills cost 26.11 each. With some of my other perscriptions I also had to fill and including my discount my bills was 100.00. The drug companys are really taking us to the bank and we let them. No other country in the world pays the drug cost that Americans do. It really makes me mad and it is very frustrating. I would easier take the 200.00 a month and spend it on something else. That's all for tonight...

I had to share my madness with you all.

Not so good Thursday !

Well it is dark and glummy yet again. Some sun would be nice.

I am tired and feeling a bit dark and glummy myself. I am looking forward to getting home and put on my sweat suit and relax a bit.

This morning I had my Doctor appointment. I knew I was going to get the 'lecture' but not like that one I got.

I guess I need to get back to eating better and lose some weight and get much better control over my health.
All of my numbers where very high. I need to make some choices and better ones for myself and my health.
I didn't like the things I was told today. But it is no ones fault other then my own. No one can fix it other then myself. So I am asking God to bless me with self control, with what I need and the will power I need to not eat the things that are bad for me. To NOT eat when I get stressed. Or eat better things for myself. Jes and I have decided last weekend we will be getting back to watching what we eat again. Making better choices for ourselves. I do sooo good for a while and then I give into temptation and eat naughty things. It is sooo easy to eat them and they are sooooooooooo good. Good to the taste, but NOT GOOD for my Bod !!!

Stress is another thing that is really bad and having a very negative impact on my body right now. I need to be around people who don't cause stress. I need to do things that don't cause stress. Try not to put myself in stressful situations as well. No one can ever get away with not having any stress. But hopefully I will find little things I can do to de-stress myself a bit. It just seems in my life there is always something to do and someone to tend to and something to take care of and a project to get done. That doesn't leave much "Me" time to de-stress. So I guess with putting our home as high on the list to get things done. I will also have to be putting myself up there as well.

One good thing... Doc did give me some meds for my nasty bi-weekly migraines I have been getting. Hope it does the trick !!!

Yippy. I finished them in Time

So tomorrow is the card exchange at work.

We have been so busy and last night we where gone. So tonight I just finished with my cards for my card exchange tomorrow at work. It should be alot of fun.

There are about 19-20 ladies at work that all stamps.

Twice a year we have a card exchange over lunch. It really is alot of fun. Above are the pic's of the ones I made. There is alot of glitter on them as well. But that didn't show up on the pic. I will post some of the ones I get tomorrow on the blog.

Hope you all are keeping warm with these chilly temps. Bed time for me !

Fall is Finally Here !

Fall is here I think this week, color temps and the humdity is gone. Glad for that. Here are some flowers and a small scarecrow I have mixed in with them that sit on my front step for all to see and admire. Love the colors and the fun they bring to this time to year. I also have corn stocks and pumkin and much more to show in post's to come!

Hope you are enjoying the fall colors this year as well.

Stop and enjoy the small things if you can !

More Halloween Cheer

Here is My Vampire that graces our front yard right along the side walk. This is only the top of him. But he has a whole body to him. Sooo fun.

Well today it is a warm one here in Mn. 83 or so on this sunny Sat. Can you believe it. 83 in Oct ? They where wondering if we are going to break records today with the temp. Guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out.

Hope you are all having a good weekend and finding a nice way to enjoy yourselves. Today with help from a Friend Mike, Jes and him are installing our brand new patio door. What a big project that is. I didn't think it was going to be such a big job. But we will be ever so pleased when it is done. As will our heating bill this winter with a door that doesn't leak 1/2 our heat out of it.

Well soo many things I need to do and I am getting there step by step.. to becoming the Mrs., offically.

I got my license changed, social card changed and already got that in the mail. I got my new checks in the mail today. I have my name changed on email at work, but not on everything else yet. There is a perk also now we are married, Jes will get his own discount card and he is excitied about that. We added my name to Jes's checking account this morning. The men have it soo easy I tell ya. Show up at the church, say I do and it's that easy. No changing your name on everything in the world, getting all the million things done to look your best and by all means no spitting out any kids either. WOW... sounds good to me.

Jes and I sure enjoy being married. But I have to admit it is not all that different then before. But I get to call him my husband and I seem to find just joy in a small simple jesture. I know all you married people are laughing your ass off right now to that statement. But its true, at least for now. Today is 3 weeks that we've been married and its soo cute that every Sat. morning Jes reminds me how long we've been married. He has been doing small things like that, and its so fun to see.

Well I have many things to get done, and my cards to finish up for my card exchange this week at work.

Have a good weekend all !!!

Just a few weeks away !!! Yahhhhhh....

Wellll Here it is !
