J'adore la pluie.

It's raining yet again in the heartland, which is excellent for the grass and other plants. I can't wait to see my lilacs bloom. Hopefully we'll have a warming trend that will stay for a while. I'm getting anxious to plant perennials but we'll still have to wait a few more weeks for that.

I'm in my scrapbook room today trying to salvage any semblance of order. I hope to make some sort of a difference and get some scrapping done. Of course, I told the kids we would go see "17 Again" so that will take some time away from my project. That's OK. I think my kids' excitement and Zac Efron are worth it!

Catching the writing bug again...

I have begun working on my romance novel once again. I have been reading my normal Harlequin romances and I think I am going to give writing a shot again. I think if I had a week of totally uninterrupted time with no distractions (including the internet--ha ha), I might be able to actually finish my manuscript. Of course, how likely is that to happen since I have work and family responsibilities, like most people do? Maybe this summer while the kids are at day camp I can get some real writing done.

Wow--two posts in one day! But for a good reason...

I will be taking this Cathy Zielske class at Big Picture Scrapbooking:

I can't wait to use my Facebook expertise and finally attempt to figure out Photoshop Elements.
I took CZ's class in KC back in October and I love her personality! I can't wait to begin. I may even post some of the layouts here. Cool.

Time is marching on...

"You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older.
And now you're even older
and now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older.
And now you're older still."

I am now 40. Hallelujah!

Time is flying like always, almost out of control. Life is good but busy. I picked a fine day to wake up too early--daylight savings time has just begun.

We are getting much needed rain here in the Heartland. The grass will be greening up quite nicely soon and the trees and flowers are beginning to bud. However, it is going to get cold again next week, just in time for spring break. :)

I'm thinking of scrapbooking in a few moments. I know--what a miracle, huh? I am just THINKING about it though. Will I actually do it? LOL!

Happy Sunday to all!

Living life to the fullest and paying the price, literally.

We have had car repairs out the wazoo in the last couple of weeks, our dishwasher needs to be replaced, our cats needed medical attention, etc, etc, etc. When it rains, it certainly does pour. I suppose it could always be worse, huh?
