here's some kenny pics :)

but keep in mind we were sitting in the balcony! hehe.

when the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright!

amazingg.
last night i went to the kenny chesney concert. i got some seriously great pics and some short video clips.. even though we were far from the stage. fell in love with my camera all over again. PS, i could just spread kenny on a cracker. will update with pics later...

also... remember that "rulebook for future children" i was working on? (see teaser/disclaimer here.) i finished! it's posted and you can view it in entirity here! :)

and thanks to the peas, i visited a LSS today in jacksonville, fl: scrapbooks. cool girls and huge store!! yay! chris was so sweet. surprised me by taking me there... i thought we were going home first thing this morning b/c he wasn't feeling well. we also ended up driving around and visiting an a.c. moore!! love him :).

damn. that's a lot of linkage. and because i am *such* the effer dare whore... here's one more. could NOT pre-order that fast enough.

waiting on the world to change...

the most deadly school shooting in U.S. history happened today...
over 30 dead, and still counting.
why?
please keep VA Tech students and families in your thoughts and prayers...
this is so sad.
and scary.

is this possible?

and what i mean by that is, will i actually do this?
i think not.
but maybe re-reading this post at a later time will inspire me.

the idea: a new morning ritual. (and by morning, i mean, when i wake up. which lately, due to work, has been around 11 or 12. but usually, this means sometime between 2 and 4.) a new morning ritual in addition to a) calling mom for a "hi" as i'm rolling out of bed, b) peeing and then peaing *5 min tops*, c) brushing teeth, d) leaving house. the whole system usually takes about 10 minutes or so.
the ritual: doing something really quick and creative. just to get the ball (and by ball i mean day) rolling. maybe keeping a notebook. writing a quote, painting a circle, or snipping the edge of a piece of paper randomly and violently like when i got bored in elementary school and all the good stuff was in a plastic box in my desk. woohoo!
the inspiration: here.
the problem: i'm half-dead in the A.M. like, literally, classified as at least comotose.

a girl can try.

looove that day off!!

wonderful news!! i am enjoying my only day off for about... 12 days. yipee! i had lunch with andi at crispers (YUM!), went to the mall to make a couple of returns, oh, and got a mani/pedi!! yessss. of course, i am dying to book some scrapping time. but first, i had to make these invites! my birthday is june 8th :). i'll be in europe, but i'm celebrating with my family beforehand with a special dinner. i am so excited :) more later... xo

you are...

gettin' scrappy.

and it feels ohhhhhhh-so-good.

had off today, tomorrow, and tuesday.

three days of art goodness.

it's been really hard to jump back into it, i guess because i've been out of the game for a while and it's hard to become inspired or something. anyyyway. here's a peekie and i shall post them at 2peas, tomorrow!! =)

hoppy easter!

isn't my mom the coolest, sweetest, most thoughtful and creative? i love my easter basket :). so very sad that this is the first holiday *ever* that i won't be with my family. SO sad. but this here cheered me up a little :). enjoy your holiday everyone!!
