More card ideas!

I just love Stampin' Up!

I don't know about any of you, but when I need some down time I either go running in the hills with my pup or get lost in another craft project. For some time now I've been such a NUT about Stampin' Up! Have you heard of it? It's company that sells all kinds of gismos and gadgets for making cards, scrapbooks, decorative boxes, albums, you name it. As I am into making cards and scrapbooking, it's perfect. In fact, today I went to a "stamp camp". This is where a demonstrator makes examples of cards and cuts out all the paper n' accessories then you assemble them and voila...you have a cute card to mail to someone. Anyhoo, here are some card ideas for any of you interested.

Pictures of my truck blunder

Truck blunder

I know that most of you reading this have had a blunder with your vehicle once in your lifetime. Well I had my first major blunder (and probably not the last, unfortunately) and I almost cried. So here's the details of my very silly and retarted accident. I pulled into an alcove, that I thought was the entrance to a gas station but was not, so I was forced to pull a tight u-turn around a pole. This pole happened to be a billboard pole that had an electrical box attached. Unfortunately I didn't see the box and it scratched a huge gash along the bed of my truck. Now I feel VERY stupid! Thankfully our insurance is covering all the damages and our rates won't go up. Phew. So, check out my handy work.

Wondering where I've been???

So I know it's been about a month since I've written anything and for that I apologize. It's been a busy month. I was in my second round of in-patient clinical rotations and it was a doozy! My brain is pooped and ready for a siesta! On top of all of this I got sick. No just once or twice, but THREE times! Yes, I said three. First I got a strange bacteria infection that acted much a like a cold but wasn't. About 3-4 days after I got better, I then got the Rhinovirus. This time it was a cold, but I'm guessing it was a super-version of the virus because I still have it. Some where in the middle of having a cold, I caught a nosocomial infection. (I got it in the hospital) It was either the Norovirus, very nasty, kills most elderly and stays around for a long time OR it was gastroenteritis, also very nasty but lasts up to a week. Luckily, I only got gastroenteritis and had some lovely nausea, vomiting, and, yes, diarrhea. Fun stuff. I gotta be honest, I'm ready to not be sick. All this makes me question how healthy I am, or not! I know I've been under a lot of stress but come on! I guess it's a little reality check that I need to start working out again, dust off the vitamins above the fridge, and take a chill pill! Now this said, I think I should go take Jasper for a run. It's a nice day and who knows if its gonna rain tomorrow! : )
