LOTS going on here....lol We've got a posting contest, a sketch contest, I was tagged, I made someone's day....so on and so on....so here we go!

You HAVE got to get your busy little butts over to Busy Bee to check out the latest contests...one is for posting and the other is for this awesome sketch:

SO if you're into winning gift certificates for an AWESOME store, head on over to the forums to check out the details!!!

NEXT...lol

So I was tagged by my friend Pat so here's what I'm supposed to do:
Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1) My food CANNOT CANNOT touch...unless it's meant to, like Chinese food or Mexican food....but jell-o touching turkey on Thanksgiving??!?!?! BARF FEST!

2) I am terribly anal about my penmanship, I was the dork in college who would go home and rewrite her notes because they were messy...hey, good study method, right?

3) I was a college cheerleader and would pay an insane amount of money to have that body back! Sigh....

4) I hate socks...I wear them only when necessary and will take them off as soon as it's possible!

5) I'm weird about "grooming" my kids, I have no qualms about picking noses, digging in ears, cleaning under nails...I find it oddly satisfying...yep, gross I know! LOL

6) I LOVE everything about my life but sometimes I take a look at it and my first thought is SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?! Am I playing friggin HOUSE or what???

7) I am disturbingly paranoid and sometimes am riddled with anxiety over things that are not very likely to happen but I manage to conjure up the most god-awful scenarios in my head and then obsess over them....do they have meds for that?!?! LMAO

So, still wanna be friends with me?!?! LOL I'll tag a few more of ya when my novel-length post is over...

NEXT!!!!!

My super talented scrappy friend (and fellow military wife/BusyBee DT buddy) Shawna gave me the "You Make My Day" award on HER blog so now I get to present it to more bloggy/scrappy friends! Thanks Shawna! Your pages of Maddie and Adam made MY day! :)



AM I DONE YET????????? LOL
Oh yeah, finally managed to get a new belly shot! :) Here "we" are at 28 weeks 3 days...........I'm gonna be ginormous by June! LOL I almost forgot that about pregnant me! LOL



OK....so NOW I'm done! :)

I'm doing a combo "tag" and " You Make My Day" award :)

Janice
Melissa
Lucy
Jaime
Shawna (you can keep the award but don't have to "re" award it to anyone...lol)
Nancy VdB (I miss you girlie!)

Ok, I'm off! :)

What a difference a few weeks makes! (ok, so more like 6 weeks...but who's counting?) Here we are at 25 weeks 6 days...yikes! Over halfway there!!!

The kids and I had a long weekend thanks to President's Day so we took advantage of it and headed north to see Vince...the drive TOTALLY SUCKED (both ways) but it was well worth it, we had a blast! Gotta love being in CA where you can go from snow one day to playing in the desert the next....

I need to do an updated picture BUT am happily laid up in bed right now getting ready to hopefully pass out for at least 8 hours (minus several trips to the bathroom..lol) Had a garage sale today, made close to $500! WOOHOO! Of course it sucked that Vince didn't come home so I was on my own...but when DOESN'T it suck with him gone????

Anyway, off to bed if baby lets me....getting my ass kicked from the inside out right now! LOVE this part! (remind me of that in a few months when he/she is stuck in my ribs...lol)

And to my scrappy friends....help me get out of my rut, I haven't done ANYTHING in about a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH...back into the "one post a month" rut....I plead the holidays as my excuse! And look who ate too many sugar cookies.......hee hee



We are now 19 weeks and 2 days pregnant with #3 and feeling pretty good! Had my "big" ultrasound last week but didn't find out what we've got cookin' in there, I was a good girl and didn't cave! So we won't know until June!! Any guesses???

Had a great Christmas, just as hectic as we expected, hopefully I can get pictures loaded soon as Sam had a very big winter in MN...first time skiing AND ice skating! She had a blast, Alex was not as big of a fan of the snow however!

So now it's back to the same ol' routine, Vince gone during the week, back to school, neglecting laundry and dishes...sigh...someday I'll get caught up!

Happy Birthday to my old stomping grounds...Scrap4Life! I was fortunate enough to be on the design team for this fabulous site and they are having a BIRTHDAY CROP! So many awesome challenges, can't wait to get to work! Go check it out, there will be some killer prizes too!

Ok, thanks for the help with the pics for the card...now to help me with the actual card! It's nothing fancy, but I like the "simple" look for my xmas cards...

Which one do you like best?
