New Sofas for us.

Today we bought a new sofa and love seat for the family room. We so needed them. I love the old ones, but they are worn out after almost 13 years. The old sofa was the first purchase we made when we got married. They have been through a lot with us.....6 moves, a crazy cat, sickie's and dirty hands from babies and toddlers......LOL! It was time to say good-bye.

Anyways, the new sofas will be delivered on Tuesday, can't wait. Here are some Internet pictures I found. The colors here look a little bit lighter than in real life, but it does state the color we choose, the Cocoa color. Now I am wondering how it will look....darker or lighter. Ugh, I hate showroom lighting.

Doesn't it look comfy? We wanted something we can rest comfortably while watching television, it is after all for the family room.

This one is the sofa.

This one is the love seat.

A Conversation with Briana......

Scene: Briana playing with some plastic Easter eggs and putting some little plastic baby chick inside.

Briana comes running into the office, where I am working.

Briana: Mommy we need to go find Baltimore (our big fat male cat) right away!!!

Mommy: Why?

Briana: because Balty does not have a baby and I need to give him this egg so he can hatch his little baby and he won't be alone anymore.

Mommy: Laughing her ass off trying to explain to her 3 yr old that our fat male cat or any cat does not hatch eggs.

Briana: But, Mommy he needs to have a baby!

A Day At the Museum

What a great day we had today. Briana has been wanting to go see Dinosaurs for weeks, I have no idea where she got that idea. So, George decided to take her to the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. She was so excited, George has bought her a Dinosaur book on Thursday and she would carry it everywhere and even slept with it......LOL! I couldn't remember going here when I was a little girl, but my brother says we have been there many times, he has such a good memory, sad that we are only 11 months apart and he remembers so many things that I don't.

Anyhow, here is some pictures I took yesterday, I have a lot more but they need to be edited.....badly! Lighting in museums are so terrible and of course there are always people in the way, especially when they see you trying to take a picture of something of someone....no courtesy.


This is the entrance to the museum.

This is at the entrance near the sidewalk.

Briana digging for fossils. She had so much fun, this is all she wanted to do all day.

The dinosaurs you first see when entering the museum. Briana was so scared of them, she just wanted me or her dad to hold her and she kept saying how scary and really really big they are. It was so funny. Finally after 20 mins later she would walk around them, but she would not pose next to them for me.

Hope you enjoyed the bad pictures.....LOL!

Working Working Day and Night

Well, Hello! Everyone. Not much has been going on these past few days. Just got real busy with work, which is a good thing. I have no idea what has happened, but boy it feels good to busy. We have not been this busy in a very long time. I hope this means things will get better with us and the world.

Also, still unpacking and trying to get the house organized, especially the garage, dying to park the cars inside their.

Anyway. Hope all is well with everyone. Will be back real soon.

Thank you for stopping by. {HUGS}

I Finally Scraped!!!

Whew! Finally was able to do some scrapbooking this week, not much but some. It felt good. Its such a stress reliever for me and I love looking at all the pictures I have old and new. When we moved George found a box of his old pictures. Pictures of him and his band performing and some High School pictures, so fun to see these.

Anyways here is one of the creations I've done. This one I entered it for a Manufacture Challenge at Scrapfreak. This month we had to use Bella Blvd Collections. Wish Me Luck.

The picture is George and I dancing at our friends Anniversary Party in February. Love how this picture came out.

Happy Birthday, George!!!

Today, he turned 45, so he decided this morning, that he wanted to have a Hugh Hefner day. He lounged around in his pj's all day and did nothing, but watch the news and played a little computer war games online with his friends. He ignored the pile of work he had to do and did not answer his clients when he called. I took care of them. :D

Briana and I got him a chocolate cake and a balloon for tonight. She gave him a bag of M&M's (I kept asking her what she wanted to buy him for his present and this is what she wanted to give him.....its his favorite....actually any chocolate is his favorite....LOL!) I cooked a nice dinner and had some wine with him. Tried to have a little bit of a romantic dinner, as romantic you can get with a 3 year old...LOL! I think he still had a great time.

Love you Honey.

It's March Already!!

Can't believe it's March already!....this year is just flying.

Not much has been going on with us. Just trying not to live in boxes. The new place is looking more like a home than a house, which is really good. Briana has adjusted well, better than I expected. She has been sleeping in her own bed and loves playing outside everyday. This is something she did not do at the other house, she never wanted to go ride her bike in the backyard or front yard, here she rides all the time.

Don't really have lots to share,I have not really scrapped I think its been 2 months. Really itching to start, hopefully this week. Here are a few things going around this month with the scrappy sites I visit.

I'm PLAYING along this month at the Birthday Crop at SD4U
Come join the MONTH long party!! Great challenges, and prizes and great kits!

and Scrapfreak is turning 2 this month. Awesome place, lots of fun ladies. Come join us at their Birthday Bash, it will be lots of fun. Make sure you tell them Yvette (Yvie) sent you.





And in other news. I tried out for the Citrus Tree Studio design team, first time I try out for the design team. Yesterday, they made the annoucement of the new Design team, I did not make the team. Really did not expect too, but I did get asked to be one of their Guest Designers for the Spring/Summer `09 term, probably for the month of September, will have to see once the month gets closer. Cindy has really great kits and awesome prices for them too. This months kit looks so yummy, can't wait to get my hands on them. I don't have any of the Marks Paper Company or any S.E.I collections and looks so yummy!!!


Heres a sneak peak of the kit. Goes on Thursday, March 5th.
