Seriously...where does the time go? I am finding lately that time is racing past and I'm struggling to get all the things done I want to do....like keeping my blog up to date! I know my family and friends would tell me I need to say No sometimes, but who wants to say no and miss the fun?
Matt & Lauren are home (last Friday) and had a wonderful time. They took some awesome pics and really had a fantastic adventure. I'm really happy for both of them! I am wondering if I might do a Paris album for them...might be too much for me...
The Go Scrapping retreat was FANTASTIC!! I was so pleased with all my layouts (and yes, proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone and learning some new techniques and actually getting my hands dirty....). And the "fan wave" I received around the table was greatly appreciated!
This week I'm staying at my friend Jodi's house while her and her husband are on a cruise. She has three boys. I have no experience parenting...and I'm a little nervous and worried that I don't do something stupid...so far so good. Tonight, we're off to the Ranger game!!
I think I need to figure out how to slow down and enjoy....but not miss those things I really want to do....as a Libra, I should be able to balance this out, shouldn't I??

Leaving....On a Jet Plane...
No...not me...
Tomorrow I'm driving Matt and his beauty daughter to the airport. They are going to Paris for 11 days. I'm so excited for them (and an itsy bit jealous). They are going to have a fabulous time and see some wonderful things. I hope they get a chance to enjoy each other and spend some time chatting and laughing!! And take tons of pictures for me to scrap!!
I will miss Mattie a lot!! Even though I don't see him (or even talk to him) every day, it'll be weird not to be able to just pick up the phone and call him! Just think of all we'll have to chat about when he gets home. I hope he figures out how to get his email while he's there so I can at least keep him tuned in to the Rangers!!
Unfortunately they fly back to Toronto the day I leave for the Go Scrapping Stratford Retreat....I guess they'll have to hire a car to pick them up at Pearson!

I've been tagged?? What the heck??
I've been tagged by Karen at alittlebitofthis-karen.blogspot.com
Now to come up with seven things about me that you might actually want to read....
Here are the Rules about the TAG:
1. Post the name and URL of the person who tagged you
2. Post the rules
3. Write seven things about yourself
4. Put the links in to your 7 favourite blogs
5. Name 7 people you are going to tag
6. Post a comment on their blog to say they've been tagged.
Seven things about me:
- I love to scrapbook and buy scrapbook stuff and hang out with fellow (or should that be lady) scrapbookers...but I'm as slow as molasses on getting anything done and I'm not very good. For the most part I'm ok with that, but there is a little piece of me that thinks I should be making faster progress with my creativity.
- I live a blessed life. I have a lovely apartment, a man who loves me and a full time job I enjoy. I am healthy (although I really need to lose some weight), I have wonderful friends and a family I'm proud of.
- I am a WLU graduate and my degree is one of my most proud accomplishments. OK...it was almost 20 years ago and maybe I should think about stepping it up again...
- I have eight brothers and sisters. My parents are divorced and remarried. I have a sister and brother who are at the core of who I am, and three step-sisters and three step-brothers who I respect and am proud to have as "bonus" siblings.
- I am way more comfortable in a small setting than at a big party. I love small social gatherings where you can have great conversation and really enjoy each other's company. I'm usually very nervous in a large group of people and feel "lost".
- I am a TV addict. I watch Oprah, Dancing with the Stars, CSI Miami, American Idol, The Amazing Race, CSI, ER, Survivor, Lost, Numbers, Oprah's Big Give, Ranger Hockey, Without a Trace, Inside the Actor's Studio, and seriously this list could go on and on and on...it's disgusting.
- I don't cook. I don't like it, I'm not very good at it and it sucks to cook for one person. So I don't. I'm lucky when I'm at Matt's, he cooks. I eat out way more than I should because I hate to cook. I do like a fried egg sandwich and french toast and salad...so I am able to "throw" some stuff together when I get hungry. But I don't enjoy it.
My favourite blogs are listed to the right....check em out. My friends have great blogs.
Seven friends I'm going to tag? Seriously? They'll kill me. Ok...I'm going to tag Karen (who already did this and was the one to tag me - don't care if that's cheating), I'm going to tag Mindy (who has already done this so she doesn't have to do it again), I'm going to tag Tracy (who Mindy already tagged), I'm going to tag Jenn, I'm going to tag Michelle (I know...Mindy already tagged her too...)...holy crap that's only five...oh well...it'll have to do.
