Five Short Weeks

For any of you keeping up with the pregnancy…here I am!!  Short and chunky at just 5 weeks pregnant.

Atleast I still have my sense of humor…

 Feelings at 5 Tender Weeks:

*  I’m not really pregnant.  (denial)

*  I can’t do this.  (fear)

*  This is going to take FOREVER! (impatience)

*  I’m already fat and I don’t want to be fatter.  (leaning toward self-loathing)

*  People say this is ALL worth it.  (faith)

*  At five weeks, a baby is the size of a sesame seed and it will weigh about 6 lbs. at birth.  What a freakin’ miracle!!  (excitement)

So there you have it…all of my feelings at 5 weeks.  I guess I’m in this for the long-haul.

ScrapHappy III

I haven’t blogged scrappin’ lately, so here ya go… 

 2 Chilly Dogs - LOVE this one!  I just love how it turned out.  The cluster title worked and everything just seemed to go together so easily.

 

Monkey Business - This was for a trade-a-picture challenge.  I had to do this layout with this picture that I didn’t take and don’t know jack about.  But it was fun and turned out okay. 

The Original “I Feel Pretty” Tree - Did a layout about 2 years ago of husband using this tree as his hair (you can see it in the ScrapJazz Gallery link to the right).  Now every year when we go to this garden, atleast one of us has to use the tree as our hair.

      

 The Beer Prayer - Hey, I’m a pregnant beer drinker!  No, I don’t mean I’m drinking beer WHILE I’m pregnant…just that I do think about beer from time to time.  This is a really simple one, but I love how it came out and I love the poem.  Oh yeah, this was for a challenge-use a poem on a page.

          

I’ve also had time to make a couple of framed pieces for friends and family…

You & Me - I sure do wish this picture was better…this layout is AWESOME, if I do say so myself!!  I love it and I think I’m going to make myself one like it.  Hope E & L like it…after they add their pic!

From the Heart - Now, this is really a doozy.  The greeting card on this one was given to my mother-in-law by my father-in-law on… ya ready? CHRISTMAS DAY 2006!!!  Yes, it took me THIS LONG to make it!!!  I actually REALLY like it, too!!

 So, that’s ScrapHappy for today.  Enjoy!!

7 years is a long time…

A long 7 years ago, one of husband’s very good friends moved to Colorado.  This was a guy he saw atleast once a week for 3 years.  And he just moved away.  Just like that.  Anyhoover, I found his brother on MySpace and contacted him and etc., etc….and through alot of ins and outs and what-have-yous, we all hooked back up this weekend.  This guy, A, and his wife, H, now have a 17 month-old baby!  This is craziness.  Seriously.  Craziness. 

Now, I was not a big H fan when they lived in Bloomington 7 years ago.  We just didn’t get along very well.  Actually, we never didn’t get along either, I just think that we were in different places in life.  We had different priorities and such.  And now I feel like a big jerk. 

Let me explain.  She is just the sweetest, nicest person!  She is a great mother and wife and just an all-around likeable person!  And everytime husband and I would talk about A and H, I would say things like, “I don’t know…H wasn’t a very nice person…”  And who’s the “not very nice person” now?  But that was me talking about the H and the Me from 7 years ago.  We were both VERY different people.  And closer to the same place in life.  Seriously folks, 7 years can change your perspective immensely!

I guess where I’m going with this is husband and I have re-made some old friends.  And all thanks to MySpace (as much as I hate to admit that).   It is wonderful.  They are great and I hope they stick around.
