Maybe I'll try bloggin before...

my manic mind takes total control and tries to make me think doing 5 different things at the same time is a good idea! lol

Today was a pretty good day. I woke up with a sore throat and coughing, but started to feel better throughout the day. Mercedes has been a little sniffly too, so we're probably on the cusp of a cold.

This afternoon I spent working on Christmas cards and phoning people trying to find addresses and all that fun stuff! I also was at my sister's house quite a bit...5 or 6 times, just picking up kids and dropping them off! lol

Brad went down to the Legion for a couple hours this evening which was a nice break for me since Mercedes was at Sonda's. I took my camera out and was trying to get some neat pics of the Christmas lights around town, but I just have so much to learn about SLR cameras! Then I went over a tried to get some pics of my mom's Christmas ornaments. I'll try to post some here and I would totally love any and all constructive critism...and be specific cause I feel like I'm trying to learn a new language or something! lol

Then I came home and started working on Christmas cards (hopefully without Mercedes help), but she wanted to so she was writing her own name in the cards. I finally told she needed to go to bed...and now I can't work on more cards cause they'll still have to wait for her to print her cute little signature! lol

Just found out that I have less three days to finish my dvd slideshow and then alter a cd case. Could be a late night!

Couple more things today...Mercedes went through her toys to donate to the Christmas drive and also picked out a bunch a food. This is pretty exciting for us cause last year we were given a hamper and it was so greatly appreciated.

Other happy note...got my January CK and I have found so many different things for inspiration! I haven't even made it through half the magazine and I have a whole bunch of pages marked! lol

Ok, time to get serious....Tonight's goal is to finish slideshow. Wish me luck. :)

And sorry about the no pics tonight, but I seriously cannot seem to get my pics to upload properly and I can't afford to waste any time tonight trying to figure it out! lol

Here I am again...

Most of the weekend and the beginning of this week I have just been so tired. I was also fighting a killer head. Today didn't start out as bad as recently so I managed to get a few things done. Now it's just after midnight and I'm running around wide awake, trying to work on different projects at once! These are the moments when it's kinda fun to be bi-polar. I have two choices...take advantage of the intense energy and get as much done as possible, BUT then be useless for the next couple days or do I let this opportunity pass me be just cause my body seems to think it needs sleep, every single night?! lol

Pretty disjointed tonight. making Christmas cards. Writing in said Cards. Inserting pics into aforementioned cards...all with the help of a five year old. Working on an altered puzzle, altered clipboard and dvd slideshow. I have a nice stack of cards sitting by the sewing machine ready to be stitched...but my machine and I are really getting along right now, so I decided I would work on the slideshow instead. Meanwhile trying to get Mercedes to stay in bed, so give up on the slide show cause to many interruptions. Back to the sewing machine, except I started thinking how nice it would be to listen to Christmas carols, so off to the computer to try to find some Christmas music. Then I got hungry so off to find a snack, followed by a smoke, and then got distracted by something on the tv. Remind myself, that I haven't blogged all week, so came in here to do this....where the cards are not sewn yet, the Christmas music hasnt' been found and Mercedes is still not in bed!!!!! I can't seem to follow through on anything lately!!
