Mask Monday #4

I am having the hardest time trying to download a few kits. Takes forever to finally download them then I try to unzip I get the corrupt message. Not too sure what's going on. Oh well, I'll try again tomorrow.

Week two on this horrendous diet I am on and I gotta tell you, I ain't hating it. The food is extremely restricted and repetitive which works for me. I'm kinda of a all or nothing type person, in the middle has never worked well for me. We shall see after this week is over.

This kit I'm working on is not working for me. There's no flow, I feel like I'm forcing it. Not sure what I'll do, probably have to scrap it (toss it) and start over.

I have a little goodie for you. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderfully week.

Freebie Friday

Happy Friday to ya'll.

Just wanted to drop in and leave you a goodie. I am just exhausted still and ready to literally crawl to bed. Hopefully the results of my blood test will answer the question of this bone tired weariness I constantly feel. We shall see.

Tonight's download is part one of my new kit entitled 'Blessings'. Hope you enjoy it, more to come. Also, I'll be leaving my other downloads up until tomorrow night due to my mistake earlier.

Have a great weekend


Sorry, this link has expired.

Ooooopsie!!

Oh my! I am so very sorry. I don't recall putting a password on it, a definite sign of old age. I took the password off, so all is well with the download. Please check back this evening for another brand new goodie. Thanks for being patient.

You Capture ~ Autumn

This week's assignment over at You Capture is Autumn. And I'm very late on my post due to my POS computer (which I love unconditionally). Anyway, here's my Autumn...










Believe it or not, trees with this gorgeous autumn glow are hard to find around here in south Cali where everything is forever green so when I did find one, I photoed the crap out of it.

Mask Monday

Pretty sad when a day shopping, watching a movie and walking the dog leaves me utterly exhausted. It’s horrible. I sat here looking at the laundry basket for hours, hoping my mom had fibbed to me and it WOULD do itself, until I somehow found the oomph to toss it in the washer. I would love nothing more than to crawl back underneath my covers and go back to my dreams. This week I go in for a blood test to check my thyroid. The doctor found something not quite right on my last vein stick, maybe that’s what’s causing my unusual symptoms. We shall see.

Looks like we’re not heading up north for Thanksgiving. I thought we had decided to spend the four days with my in-laws but the husband vetoed that. She lives on a couple acres where the deer and wild turkeys play; I was definitely looking forward to spending a few days shooting some nature photos as well as some of my new great-nephew and nieces. In exchange, the husband offered me a drive through the wilderness of Matilija Hot Springs and a hike up to the waterfalls at Rose Valley. And, dinner out with my oldest son, so no cooking either. How could I not take the trade? My poor MIL is going to be so disappointed though.

I started on a rigidly strict diet this morning, I want to lose 30-ish pounds by January 1st. It might be a bit to drop in nine weeks but I’m so tired of being fat. At my last doctor’s visit a couple weeks back, everything, but my weight, was fantastic. My blood-pressure was good, my cholesterol was amazing and my blood sugar is beautiful. I’m a healthy woman, with the exception of being so over-weight. There’s so many things I want to do but my bulk holds me back. So, I’ve had it with all these extra lbs. Time to dump them.

Thanks for listening to my trials and tribulations.
I have a goodie for you.

Where The Wild Things Are

Happy Nov 1st!

Before I prattle on about my day allow me to first remind you to back up all your files. I’ve made it a habit to do mine the first of every month and then run a full computer virus scan. Never hurts to be vigilant with the items we don’t want to lose.

I hope ya’ll had an enjoyable Halloween and a pleasurable Sunday. The weather here was wonderful, sunny and warm, a comfortable 70-ish, not too hot, just right. Every looks so beautiful to me with a bit of sun shining on it.

We went to breakfast and then hit the supermarket. How often do you go to the grocery store a week? I go once a week. When I load my cart on Sunday, I don’t plan on returning until the next Sunday hence my cart is full. I’m not talking things over-the-top-slipping-off-as-I-walk full, just normal full. I’ve lost count of how many times someone has remarked about how much I’m about to purchase. I don’t know why they would even care in the first place. We don’t eat out very much thus, more often than not, I fix 21 meals a week. Am I the weird one? Duh, like I don’t know the answer to that one, but I meant in this case. Do most people pick up groceries throughout the week? Don’t you think it’s odd, even border line rude, for someone to comment on the amount of food I purchase? I seem to attract the strangest characters.

After I put ALL THAT FOOD AWAY (took me hours), we went to see Where the Wild Things Are. It was cute. Without a child in tow (I went with the husband), it was lacking a bit to me. I liked it enough just missed the magic of a little giggle or a soft sigh. The movie was the husband’s idea, some never grow up. I would have chose something else, I’d much rather watch Gerard Butler for a couple hours.

Since it was still so nice outside, I took the dog to the park. While she romped here and there, (being this was her first real outing since her surgery, she definitely was thrilled to be out), I took the opportunity to snap a few photos. I love my camera so very, very much. Pooder was much of a subject for me seeing as she wouldn’t be still at all so I aimed at a few trees (I love trees), a couple of ducks and an out of place heron.

It was a fabulous day and I am exhausted. After finishing up a few tasks, I’m going to drag my tired butt to bed.

Don’t forget to check tomorrow’s Monday Mask.

Sleep sweet
