Did you know???

As most of you know my blog is hit and miss on the weekends - but today is a yucky rainy day!! Dang it!!! I was hoping I was going to get to go to the range and practice shooting with my bow!!!! Hubby says we can still go - I think not!!!! LOL

The good thing about a rainy day is I can stay home and spend time with my "Kindle"!!! Yep FINALLY my Birthday present came in!!! If you are an avid reader - and I do mean avid - you might want to check out the Amazon Kindle. Now let me tell you is is EXPENSIVE!!! I am sooo not going to lie to you - and had I've know Hubby was going to buy it - I would have NEVER agreed to it - as it is crazy expensive! But I didn't know (and I am kind of glad I didn't!!!) cause this thing is AWESOME!!!!!

On average - if hubby is home I read about two books a week - if hubby isn't home I read about four books a week - so this thing TOTALLY rocks!! You can download sample chapters, you can buy books, you can even surf the basic web!!! All from your home!!! It is like spending an afternoon at Barnes and Nobles without EVER leaving your house!!!!

So on that note - I think I will go read!!! Bahahaha..... but before I do - if you haven't already seen - One of my Co Designers, Jennette (with Butterfly Designs) is hosting a Scrapping Challenge on her Blog.... make sure you check it out! Oh and did I mention that the first place prize is a Purple Crop A Dile!!!! Yum Yum!!!


Until Next Time!

I have a secret...

Yep - I love love love having a secret - Don't you??? You can give out hints and try and let the other person guess what it is.... oh what fun!!!!

So here is my first hint...



Tomorrow I will give you another hint!!!! But let me tell you this... if you are a customer of Paperthreads - you are NOT going to want to miss this!!!!


Now - I have to tell you about something that we did really fun this weekend!!! On Sunday hubby and I went out on a double date - with my parents!!!! LOL It was soooo much fun!!!

We went out to see a movie - this was a miracle with in itself as I don't think either of my parents have gone OUT to see a movie in over 15 years!!!!! (I KID YOU NOT!!!) And then we went to one of our favorite Chinese restaurants!!!! Oh Yummmy!!! It was an awesome evening!

I have to tell you - if you have not seen "The Bucket List" I HIGHLY recommend it - it was wonderful!!!!


Now you need to be prepared that it is REALLY sad in some spots! Hubby even got a little teary eyed!!!! But then there are some things that will make you laugh sooo hard you will cry again but this time from the laughing!!

In case you don't know the plot - I will give you a basic run down.... there are these two men that are both diagnosed with Cancer... they end up being in the same hospital room being roommates. One is a poor auto mechanic with a family, one is a an EXTREMELY wealthy business man with no family.... They become the most unlikely friends.... When they are both told that they will have six to 12 months left to live - they make a list of all the things that they want to do "before they kick the bucket". Hence the bucket list!!! I love Morgan Freeman anyway and Jack is funny as well!!!

I am giving this one a two thumbs up, large diet coke, large popcorn and a box of tissues movie!!!


Until Next Time!
