I guess I should update my poor lonely neglected blog.  Where to even begin.  I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since August 20th!  It’s been what, three weeks?

I guess the biggest thing that has happened is I had a birthday.  I’m now 33 years old.  Still trying to decide how I feel about that.  Thinking it’s okay.  Never really had that big of an issue with how old I was except maybe a little bit when I turned 30, and I’ve way gotten past that.

I got so spoiled though for my birthday, actually even spoiled rotten I’m convinced.  Eric bought me an awesome Canon printer/copier/scanner/fax machine to print pictures on.  And if that were not enough, he bought me a Cricut cartridge and not one, not two, but three of the Cricut jukeboxes.  He said the girls at Michael’s were all wanting to be in my shoes.  AND what I really, really, really wanted the most was to upgrade my cell phone from my Blackberry Pearl to the Blackberry Curve (in red) and guess what?!  Eric bought that for me too. 

My friends just absolutely spoiled me.  I have a stack of gift cards and some very thoughtful gifts, peanut butter balls, flowers (Primas that is), a beautiful glass piece, an amazing decorated chipboard “Sweetie” book, the truest and funniest mug, another friend decorated my initial for me, the funniest and sweetest cards, and on and on.  In spite of feeling so crummy and sick on birthday it was certainly one of the best ones yet. 

I’ve been doing a lot of scrapbooking again.  I’m actually caught back up.  I guess not totally.  I still need to go back and journal a few layouts and cut slits in albums for hidden journaling.  Now I’m working on a mini album from our summer vacation.  I did layouts for each of the girls’ and our family album, but I wanted to still do the mini album so I can use even more of the pictures that I took.

Other than that, nothing real earth shattering.  We’ve worked out that horrible cold that has been going around, through our entire family and I’ve turned into a serious slacker at church.  We didn’t go this past week, because I fell asleep watching TV before having a chance to set my alarm.  So the next thing I knew, it was 11:30 am the next morning.  How lame is that?!  I’ve become the worst at returning phone calls and answering emails.  I feel like I’m just running in 20 different directions with my head cut off.

Although I spent all day yesterday and the day before synching my computer calendar, Blackberry calendar and my Franklin planner together.  I have to have them all.  Eric will only put his schedule on Google calendar, but I’m not always in a place where my phone gets internet so I’m not able to pull it up, plus if I’m wanting to go look at a date a month away, I have to spend 5 minutes scrolling through pages to get there.  So then I convinced Eric I needed the Franklin calendar to be able to carry that around, but it’s so big that I really only stick it in my bag for church or in my purse if I know I’m going to need it.  And I really like to make lists so really the Franklin I really like.  But I’ll probably phase it out when my planning pages are up and just use Google calendar on the computer and I finally figured out how to use the calendar on my Blackberry. 

Okay, now I’m just rambling on and on.  Like anyone cares.  I guess the short of all that is I’ve now reorganized myself.  Now just need to get myself on a decent schedule and I will hopefully (knock on wood) be back on track and feel like somewhat of a sane person again.  And I won’t be letting as many people down.
