I don’t have time for much else right now, but I do have a moment to put up some pages I’ve done. These were a few weeks back, since in the last few weeks, I have done nothing but school, school, school!

I knew I’d Slip…
Ha ha! I did not have faith in my ability to keep writing, because I always have so many things going at once…one usually slips. So it was this blog for a week or so. I have been frantically trying to pull together everything I need for the start of the school year and mourning the end of my summer vacation…sigh…so soon??
Plus, we’re crazy and we just adopted a dog. Yay! She’s a pug and older (2 1/2) so even though she’s only been here a few days, it seems like we’ve always had her. She is roly poly and lazy and cuddly…my kind of dog! We’re keeping her on a strict feeding schedule and got her a harness for walks, though, because we know pugs tend to get overweight. So we love her already and her name is Maddie and here she is:
Maddie
I know, a face only a mother could love, right? Well, we think she’s adorable! She’s a rescue pug and was found as a stray and pregnant. They removed the puppies because they didn’t know what she was bred with, and if it was a big dog the birth would kill her. So she’s spayed now, which is good.
I have also been getting more into digital scrapbooking and trying out lots of layouts. I finally got ink for the printer so I could print my layouts and see them in hard copy. I tend to be someone who does lots of things on the computer, but I have to print them out in order for me to really know what it was I did! I’m like that…I have to hold it in my hands!
I have also been taking stock of Sophie’s and my summer vacation, and realizing that the summer could have gone a little differently. I tended to be really focused on so many things that I only got a little of each thing done. That left little time for just relaxing and being. I have a hard time with that anyway. I always have to be doing something. Now, the summer’s over, and I wish I could take a mulligan! Do-over, please. But hey, we did the best we could!
Another day…another page. Officially addicted!
Sophiekins
These pictures were taken on July 23, 2008. Sophie is 3…but she’s looking at the camera like she’s 13! I love this page…and it was fun to do.
My first ever…
…digital scrapbook page! I found all the pretty materials at GingerScraps. Thanks!
Here it is…Sophie at Lake Ouichita in August 2006. This was my very first time using Photoshop Elements. Wow, my head is spinning. It’s a lot to take on all at once, but worth it, don’t you think?
Sunday Night Blues
I hate Sunday nights. Even on summer vacation. My hero is Garfield the Cat, whose motto has always been “I hate Mondays.” You couldn’t be more right, cat. And Sunday nights are just as bad, because it means Monday is coming. So, on this Sunday night, I am going to go to bed early (if you consider 10:00 p.m. early. I do!) I feel feverish and have a sore throat. That is never a good thing. Plus, I survived a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, the most expensive children’s entertainment place ever. For some reason (maybe the screaming kids? the bells and flashing lights?) Then I tried to get Twitter on this blog, which I failed miserably at. See the sidebar where it says Twitter isn’t working? Yeah. And I attempted my first digital scrapbook page, too. It is was harder than I imagined. So, in short, I give up on today. I am more tired than I’ve been in a long time. I’m usually a girl that hits the sack at 1 a.m.! So sayonara for now and I promise I will write something more interesting tomorrow, like part two of my Epic Eallbladder Story. (Epic, like Homer! Only not.)
Caio!
