The Alphabetica swap continues…this is the first journal I’ve had since January. It’s Laura’s..her theme is Ladies A-Z…this is my page, "Margaret." It’s in honor of my grandmother, but the pic is not her b/c I do not have a picture of her!

10 keepers, 3 tossers. Here are a few sneakie peekies….

Reed isn’t a gift-type person, so I made him one of his favs, homemade cinnamon rolls. Hope your Father’s Day is equally scrumptious.

Been doing my Hambly scrapping…need 15 to 20 pages by next Friday. Tally so far: 5 keepers, 1 tosser.

Pray for me. Ha.

Yes, I passed level 15 in Sticky Tetris and won the whole game. And all I got was that lousy "You Won" screen. I thought the Gameboy would at least shoot out a few sparks.

I’ve been Hambly-scrapping and having a blaaaaast. Can’t wait to show you what I’ve been up to….

Check out Hambly’s blog…. (you all know how I worship Hambly)…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I am so thrilled and excited!

And no, this is not the secret news that I posted about before….heh heh.

I am shock. I’m so stunned that I haven’t even reached for the chocolate.

Yay!!!!!!!

You know my blog isn’t all roses and puppies. I blog about feeling tired, icky. You know, the good with the bad. Gotta keep it real, right? Well, let’s keep it real. Yesterday was a lousy, no-good day. Felt down for no valid reason. Felt icky with some health issues. Felt sick of the kids fighting over Mario & Luigi and something about stars and oompas.

Then something exciting happened.

But I can’t tell you what it is.

Yet.

Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes! I did have a nice, relaxing day. A day full of lots and lots of calories.

So, today’s my bday…came into today released from any self-imposed expectations about birthdays and people remembering or not remembering. And it’s been good. Look at this fab album my mom made me! It’s full of fun pictures and clever quips made up by my dad (birthday wishes for me from various celebrities, political figures, etc). Too fun. I just love it. Can I say how cool it is to have a mom who scrapbooks?

Went to lunch w/ great friends…Lu & La & Ra. We ate entirely too much chips & salsa and had a fun time laughing & talking. Now I’m home w/ the fellas, just hanging out, just relaxing. Just being. Thankful for loving friends, loving family.

Carter and I sat down to paint today…more visual journaling…
