Mid Week, Whine & Shine

All I have to say is the officiating at the NHL level needs some looking into because it is so terribly uneven. Call ticky-tac calls and miss the BAD ones! I'm very upset. The refs missed blanant penalties of the Sharks. Here's just one, the goal tender, Nabokov, reached out with his stick and tripped Tootoo, actually more like a slash. Luckily Toots wasn't hurt as he dove into the boards. NO CALL! it is hard enough to play another team without having to "play" the refs too.
I BLIND I'M DEAF I WANT TO BE A REF! it really fits!

I'm stuck at 174. Actually I'm lucky to be still at 174 after the way I've been eating. So I should be counting my blessings... I don't think wings, beer, peanut butter chocolate pie, Ben & Jerry's oatmeal cookie ice cream, chocolate pudding cake or fish tacos are weightloss foods... I think the taco might not have been too bad if I'd left the mayo off that is... Oh was it good though! the Sports Grill make one yummy fish taco! I guess I'll try very hard to be good the rest of the week. Time for a big pot of vegetable soup! a few more Zumba classes!

I did take that walk yesterday. It was kind of a short one but I did walk. I walked over to Susan's new house to take her house warming gift. Poor Susan is getting over the crud that has been going around. She very graciously showed me around her beautiful home. I have serious kitchen envy! Gorgeous! I'm so glad they are all moved in! We're so lucky they moved to our neighborhood!

Tomorrow is my pampering day! Jim bought me a spa day for my birthday in January. I'm finally using it! The just say "Ahh" package, One hour stone massage, one hour facial, manicure, pedicure, shampoo blow dry, and make up application. I'll be all relaxed and gorgeous to go to the hockey game! LOL!

I never did find the perfect lettering for my page yesterday something else captured my attention, more like demanded so maybe today...

Day light savings time is still kicking my butt!

Well, I got up at 7:25. My internal clock is still set for day light savings fall back... I guess so is Cookie's is too, because she didn't start barking till then to go out. Luckily no zumba this morning. I think I'm skipping the gym today. I went twice yesterday. We have a hockey game tonight so I can't go to the zumba class. I think I'll just do abs at home on the ball, and maybe take a walk.

Courtney has a shortened day today for teacher planning. Jesse is coming over and she is helping him type his report for some class.

It is amazing to me how fast the house gets dirty! I swept most of the down stairs yesterday and mopped. Swept the bonus room because my dear little dogs disemboweled a stuffed squirrel. found a spot where Dyson has been peeing against my nice leather sofa sectional. GROAN! Gross dog! I forgot the towels in the washer yesterday and I'm re-washing because they had that musty smell. I need to do a major mail sort and toss. I HATE junk mail! All it makes is clutter!

I'm going to working on some of my pages today. I'm working on one of Jim as Captain Morgan. So cute he has his rum bottle in his hand in the picture. I found a really cool cut out paper over lay in black I put over dark red card stock with this cool laser cut line of skulls from Stamping Station. I'm trying to find the right lettering to title it.

WEll, this isn't getting my letter quest finished... I'm off to it!

SPRING AHEAD! How do make the finger sign???

I'm having a devil of a time getting going this morning. All I want to do is crawl back in bed! I'm glad zumba isn't till 9:30 on Mondays I just wouldn't make today... not sure what my deal is, but I hope I get over it soon!

The dogs are racing around the house like lunatics. Glad I'm sitting down or they would have knocked me over racing between my legs. They must have stolen my energy!

I REMEMBER WHAT'S WRONG! this spring ahead always kills me! I HATE IT! The person that thought it up should be shot!

Whine, whine, whine.... I need more coffee!

:>O ( yawning)

"Famous" Handcuff layout

Well, I finally got that idea down on paper. What a relief! I was driving myself crazy. BUT I'm pretty happy with the result so I guess it was worth it??? MAYBE??? ROFL!

I have two new ideas stuck in my head! So I guess those are NEXT! I found some great blue trim for my fan of the game layout. felt stars! WOO HOO! I also found some very cool cut out paper I'm going to use for one of the pirate pages.
All the non- scrapbookers just won't get it...but it is an obsession like HOCKEY!

My Preds stunk up the ice for two periods today then decided to come alive in the third didn't quite make it but very close. It would have been awesome to have tied the game in the third. They needed the point. But at least they weren't totally embarrassed... Would have really liked the points...

Off to scrapbook these ideas now...

Stupid FSN south and NBC

This is really making me angry that the Predators, who are fighting for their play off lives, are NOT being shown on TV on a road trip! They are playing darn good hockey! This is VERY exciting! Someone is really missing the BOAT! The only way to see the Predators games is to buy a Center Ice package, which is $119 and ends on the 3/7 or find a bar that carries the package. Four games away and NO ONE picked them up??? I understand if a home game isn't on, you can buy a ticket and go. BUT away games should all be on TV. For goodness sake Erat had a hat trick this last game and most Preds fans only heard it on the radio... FSN South really blew it as far as I'm concerned and so has NBC.


Sincerely,

Kate Childers

Tis Hump Day! Get to it!

Wow! half the week is over!


Jim and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the Preds game because it was only on Center Ice last night. First time I'd had wings in a year. I mean really eat wings not just one nibble at a party. I didn't over do it, but Jim did. He was feeling a tad bit ill so we left after the second period. Preds were winning 5 to 1, and that is how the game ended too. First time in a long, long time we went out to see any game at the bar. Two beers and I was feeling no pain, at least last night today my head is a little bit under the weather, BUT that maybe sinuses. I think it is. One thing for sure I need green leafy vegetables after that grease fest!

The cold weather came about half way through the day yesterday. YUCK! Just in time for Katie's trip to Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky. It is the 6th grade class trip. I hope they don't freeze! Courtney had a great time when she went. I hope Katie does too. She is really excited. This year they are going during the week not the weekend. I bet the teachers are digging that! I pick her up Friday. down to one kid for a couple of days. WOO HOO!

I actually scrapbooked yesterday! I did another Halloween page. Melissa and Wesley Hayes dressed up as a cop and con for the Halloween party. I had to find some toy handcuffs to trace. I got the design idea stuck in my head nothing else would do. Thankfully Wal-mart came through for me. I was joking I was going to have to go to the adult book store. Now that is an original excuse to go to one of those...ROFL! Any way, I made my paper pieced handcuffs. They turned out so cool! I'm so pleased with myself... at least some one is! LOL! I use black and white striped Bo Bunny paper, and the "jump suit" orange for the layout. I have to finish my journaling and a bit of the embellishment. The picture is a good one. I was very pleased with how my photos truned out this year! I will be submitting Halloween pages everywhere. So they won't go up till after calls are done.... At least I'll keep that part of my new Years resolution!

Hope you are having a great day!

Ouch!

I over did the abs and legs work out yesterday. I'm a bit on the sore side this morning. I haven't been brave enough to get on the scale after my binging this weekend... It's right before that time of the month too so water weight is a factor too. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I have a page design idea stuck in my brain. I need some handcuffs to copy! I'll be looking in the toy section of the Dollar stores... The page is one of my Halloween ones. it goes with the theme of the costume... I have it all planned out in my minds eye... wish me luck finding them in the toy section! If not I'll be going to the adult book store.... ROFL! Now there is an original reason to go!
