Day Off

Poor D has been traveling like crazy: Sunday he left for CA (I dropped him off at the airport at 4:00 in the morning), Monday night he flew home (I picked him up at 11:45) Tuesday he had a 12:15pm flight to Chicago. He was scheduled to come back Wednesday morning but they had snow and flights were delayed. So he drove from Chicago to St. Louis, did some work there and drove back to Chicago (only 300 miles each way). He left Chicago this morning but because he is D he couldn't just fly into Newark which is where his car is, he had to fly into Philly and take the train to Newark.... WTF?

The point in my telling you all of this is that I am exhausted, with him traveling my sleep is all messed up. Not sure why but lately I have been having a hard time falling asleep without him (this coming from a narcoleptic, I am programmed to fall asleep without even trying).

There is a plus side to me not being able to fall asleep, I have had tons of time to scrap. Last night (or should I say this morning since it was 3:10) I was up making paper bows that I saw On Splitcoast Stampers Once I mastered the bow, I started working on the cover to my Journal Your Christmas album and couldn't stop.

The point of the Journal Your Christmas class is to take time very day to journal and create. Of course me being me, I am already behind (we are only on day 6) Today I started my day 2 (need to find the perfect picture and Thickers to finish it) Completed day 3 and thought about what I want to do for day 4. Hopefully by the end of the week I will be caught up.


Hoping the writers strike ends soon, I am getting tired of watching reruns. Then again less time to watch TV means more time to scrap!!

Journal Your Christmas

First time ever I signed up for a scrapping class. I am taking the Journal Your Christmas class and very excited about it. I am hoping the class will "force" me to scrap on a more regular basis. Also looking for a little bit of normalcy, working retail during holiday is pure insanity, I need something to help keep me sane (is that possible?)

Since I had to compress the file you can't read the journaling very well it says.....

I hope by taking a little time each day to reflect, to write, to create I will keep my Christmas alive and well despite the commercial pressure that exists outside my door. Friends, Family and hot beverages will help.

This was one of the three manifestos we could pick from and this was all too fitting for my crazy life. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
