5/4-Starting off with a bang

So May is not starting out too good. The weather was great this past weekend. I decided to go for a run (which I am into my 5th week of and enjoy it most of the time if I can stay injury free). 6 minutes into my run I get a bug in my eye. No big deal, I wipe it out and go on. Around 6:30 last night my eye felt a little swollen and sore. Whatever I say. I wake up this morning with goop redness, swolleness and pain!!!! What the heck. So I go to the eye doctor and I scratched my eye really bad (redness) and I am having an allergic reaction the bug that was in my eye (swollen and goop) and there was a trace of the bug still in my eye. $75 later I have eye drops and a sore eye. Staring at the computer is not helping either. Here's a shot of my eye when I got home from work. By the way did I mention it hurts!!!!!!!

4/19-Last layout

So here is the 3rd layout that we will be doing. We are using CTMH Emporium level 2 paper packet with the stickease to match. Just cutting involved. I had so much fun with these!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

4/18-Busy

Griffin has ball practice today. He spend the night at friends house so I need to go get him and get him to practice. Jeff flew out this morning left at like 3 am. His flight left Pittsburgh at 6:15 am so he had to be there early. He's meeting up with friends in Boston but they get there later. Guess he'll get some lunch and wait.

I'll post more later.

4/17-Emporium

This is another layout that we will be doing for club. I love this paper.

4/16-2 days in a row???

I know 2 days in a row I must be sick.. No not really just trying to do more.

Here is one of the layouts my club will be doing for this month. We are doing 3 - 2 page layouts. Just cutting involved no stamping.

I will post the other ones in the next couple of days.

4/17-A double post

Last night I was in the middle of posting a few future blog posts when my husband starts yelling in a whisper voice "there's a bear, there's a bear-Heather hurry up grab your camera". I am like what the heck. I look out the window and there's a bear in our backyard. Holy MOLY!!! I couldn't believe it. We watched this thing for a little while in the backyard and then my husband scared it away from his deer feeder (seen above) and so the bear went in the woods going towards the road so we all loaded up in the car to make sure it didn't cross the road and for it go back into our yard because I couldn't get very good pictures (as you can see they are blurry). But when we came back into the driveway we scared into the backyard but then we couldn't see because it was to dark. We always have deer and turkeys an occasional fox but a bear!!!!! holy-so we're all now waiting for it tonight-like that's ever going to happen.

Anways thought you would all enjoy the pictures.

This one here he is just coming into the yard.

4/15/09-Are your taxes done?

Look what I got in the mail today!! From one of my cyber friends. She also made the card below. The picture really doesn't do it justice. This card is beautiful. I was so wowed by it.

So I hope everyone has there taxes done! We got ours back from the accountant yesterday (I was getting a little nervous since I dropped them off the beginning of March) and Jeff took them to the post office today!!!

For those of you who don't know. Jeff is running the Boston Marathon Monday (it's a holiday in Boston on Monday it's Patriots Day). So he flies out on Sat. and won't be back till Tuesday. You can track him on :

This is the first year for me to track him on this website so I'm not sure how this will work.

Then I leave on Friday for my retreat and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. The following weekend we are going camping. (You can tell the weather is changing-busy busy).

Also I have started running. This is my 3rd week and I am gradually working my way into it. I walk a little, run a little and walk and if I feel good I run longer. I have a training schedule I use and I am slowing working into running. I feel great, my cardio is getting so much better, and I am losing weight. I know I know your saying I don't need to but I would like to lose 10 pounds before summer. I do feel really great though. I still can't fit into those old jeans yet but maybe.

Everyone have a great week. And hopefully I'll post some more soon.!
