THE EXCUSES BEGIN...

Well where should I start? Ok, I really don't have a good excuse for not blogging. The only thing that I can come up with is that I have been busy (but aren't we all) and I've been very tired this week. I usually do my blogging late but it seems that 10 o'clock rolls around and I'm wiped!
Anyway, enough of my whining....what's been going on lately...hmmm...let's see...
scrapped with my girlfriends last Friday night and Saturday, took Emily to her first day of Vet Club at the Humane Society and did some running around. Sunday, Emily had her first day of indoor soccer and then I helped her with her first Grade 2 project (I hope we, I mean she, passes! LOL!). Actually, other than helping her find books at the library and suggesting how she might organize it, she was set on doing it all herself, knowing exactly what she wanted to say and how. Stubborn little thing...no idea where she gets that! Actually, I love that she's so independent already and has her own ideas.

I definitely have to mention the wonderful time I had Monday night. My closest girlfriend from college was in town this week so we were able to get together for dinner. She's been living in Vancouver since last fall so it was a very pleasant surprise to find out she was in town. The last few years we've only kept in touch with the odd e-mail and usually at birthday time. Actually it was always the joke between us that you knew you'd hear from the other at birthday time but you were never quite sure when...maybe on the day, maybe a couple days late or maybe even a week late. It's one of those friendships where our lives have gone in very different directions and we don't call each other all the time but we both know we'll always be friends. Linda is definitely one of the most independent women I know. She recently went to South America with her brother and his family for three weeks and then stayed on by herself for another 4 weeks to travel through Chile and Peru. I find that amazing especially in this day and age. I could never do that. Anyway, we had a fabulous time catching up and before we knew it, we'd had a 5 hour dinner!

I'm very lucky, I have many fabulous women friends in my life right now and at some point I will have to blog about them as well or I'll be in big trouble!! LOL!!



Well, as usual it's very late but I think I'm getting my second wind...maybe I'll stay up and scrap a couple pages before I call it a night. OK, let the laughter begin....anyone that scraps with me knows that's not going to happen. I think I've earned myself the title of SLACKER SCRAPPER, unfortunately, rightfully so. Oh well, I guess I'll just go to bed instead.

Nice to see something new up from you! If your friend ever goes back to South America, make sure she looks at your blog--and then looks at mine. I see we both need red dots in that continent!
