New Years Eve Can Wait or Can It?

          Well here we are our plans for the night is to spend it at my brothers house once again playing games, It seems this may be the last time that we get a game night in before the season sets in. As there is plenty of work to do and no time for play. As school will be starting up again and I ll be in my homework head high or more. Then there is the work to be done at the business, For us all to be doing. Oh the fun I fill lol.
          My youngest and I last night started early on the celebrating of the New Year taking photos of our New Years accessories that we will be wearing tonight.So I am going to share our funny pictures with you today, of course we will be taking more photos with more accessories tonight. Couldn't show you everything all in one post HA!
         Any who you all have a GREAT NEW YEARS party tonight and I ll be thinking of all my family and friends tonight wishing them a fun and safe NEW YEAR!
Enjoy the pictures.

Today I feel it to be a Lazy sleep all day feeling. How about you?

     Yes I am heading for a nap, Not sure why I fill so tired today, maybe its all the excitement of my life HA!
In any state of mind , I am just exhausted. I ll take a nap and start laundry before I lay down, this way I ll have clothes to fold when I get up ha! see I think ahead.... lol.
     Can not say that I can not wait for school to begin as I am enjoying this time off WAY to much,. It has helped ease my mind and make me relax. However boredom has set its toll...... Yeah I can play the sims, or even work on past homework to better my skill, but my body as it is..... say ahhh just relax.
      So this is what  I must do listen to my body,,,,,, hehehehehe!

So spent the day cleaning and shoveling snow!

     It was fun, as the kids helped. The shoveling the snow was a great big ole pile in the drive way would of took me all day and possibly into tomorrow just to get it done, had it not been for Mindy's Boyfriend helping me out, He threw her in the snow and they were at it.
    Watched Vampire's Suck as well today, interesting movie I suppose, a movie that makes fun of Twilight and what not. Humorous yes, but yeah you know how it goes. Ordered Pizza Hut and then went to my brothers for another full filled game night, UNO and Imaginif  great fun.  Pictionary Man and Taboo, is next on Friday.
    Not much else is going on excited for the New Year to come as always, I am. However sad to see this year go, not really lol. Just a thought of whoosh came over me. What a day!

Monday, December 27, 2010

    Such a beautiful day out, the sun is out, snow on the earths floor, the air clean and coldish. My family home, life is good. What more can a person ask for, Enjoying the family this week.

Now that Christmas is over, Major Drianage HA !

   Yes the Holiday for Christmas is over and we are left with major drainage in our body's feeling of being tired, and just plain old..... HA! Though it was all good while it lasted, it still takes its toll on you. Can not help but yawn through out the day.
    Next we have New Years, and that to us, well is a day or two to stay at home, and relax. Of course this year we are going to go play games at a friends house, and enjoy in more company of friends and family. How fun it is on game night. This Friday will be fun for sure for sure.
    Other then that the plans for this week are of its usual concord, clean, laundry, and get ready for the weekend to come. Of course school will be starting up once again around the corner so to be completely relaxed that is not in question. We still have plenty to do until then.

My day went good, how about yours?

      So yes my day was good, watched my girls and nephew open up their gifts, Little guys first Christmas that is always fun to watch. He was so excited to see as of course, he loved the paper and the boxes more then the actual gift. Though he enjoyed those just as well. But not till after the mess was cleaned up.
     My girls were happy to, great food, great company, great Holiday what more can you ask for right!







We are just thankful for all those that can share the holidays and enjoy the company around them. It was all awesome.

Merry Christmas !


     Today is the day to share with family and friends, a day of peace, harmony, and above all love. Its not about how many gifts are under the tree, or how much food you have to eat, (though I do hope you have plenty of both). As long as you have food to eat, and a roof over your heads, and your family's love and health.  That is what matters along side the birth of Jesus and all that he has done for us.
    I do hope you enjoy the holidays, I and my family are going to spend our Christmas with my brother, nephew and his girlfriend. This will be fun and very enjoyable. I can not go one day with out seeing my nephew and I am so  happy I am able to spend and enjoy my Nephew. My family loves that little guy so much, He is a miracle.
    Please today, tonight, remember family is important without them, you are not who you are, you are just empty, and lonely, and above all not yourself without family. Sending Love, Peace, and above all prayers to you all for  happy and safe holidays.

Merry Christmas to you and all!

   Merry Christmas to you and all your family and friends, From my family to yours, Peace be known to you at least on these holidays. My husband made it home Wednesday night and is able to stay through the Christmas holiday. I know he will be home as well on News years, I just know it. Though it is still possible that he may not be able to but I can always hope.
   My daughter took this picture of us last night while we were playing with his knew toy I got him for Christmas, a record player,CD,Tape player it records all his vinyl records on to USB or SD format so that he can put them on his computer, this made him happy he wanted it for the last year..... I am glad he got what he wanted lol. I won't tell you what he got me HA! hehehe just kidding.
   We opened presents early this year just in case dad got the call to go back out. We girls wanted him to have plenty of time to play with his knew item. Which you can see in the picture behind him he was playing ABBA, ELO, and of course some Fleetwood Mac last night until about 2 am. We haven't done that in a long time stay up that late. But it made for a great morning of sleeping in.
    It even snowed last night and it continues this morning. We have gotten at least 2 to 3 inches thus far.
 Nothing like a white Christmas to make it special and to really feel the Holiday! I hope your Holidays go just as well for you as it has and is for me. Sending love and thoughts to all my readers.

Think or not to Think?





                                                
Image created by: Portrait Illustration Maker


     Sometimes I think a lot, and other times I do not think enough. But all in all at the days ends I think, I think enough HA! In any event I have noticed a lot visitors coming to my site, which I am thankful for in so many ways. I just wish more of my visitors would get involved in the blog. Give some conversation an all, Join in the conversation more I suppose I am thinking. I would love new ideas to talk about. I try to talk about my interests an all, and what is going on in my life. However sometimes I feel that is not enough I would love to share on this blog with others about there interest so Please join in the conversation, I know your here, I know your reading my stuff. You must like it because your visiting a lot.
     I do have  few people talking at me through private messages however I really really perfer to have the conversation on the comments for all to join in. I won't put the comments or emails to show everyone if you do decide to contact me that way, I know it can be intimidating to converse on a blog, but really there in nothing to it.  So out of shear respect I will wait for you to comment on your own time when you are ready readers. But really I am getting bored thinking I am talking to myself with no one to join the talk or comment.
   All I ask is that the post and comments you do share are respectful and polite not only to myself but to others on the site. Thanks so much for following me from VOX to here, After VOX closed down I noticed some of if not most all of my readers followed me. I am more thankful for that then you know.

Got my nephew and my girls we be watching Disney Movies...... Nehew soon to be one.

   The doctors told us he wouldn't make it past 3 weeks after birth if that, maybe even as long as a year.
He is strong, smart and above all amazing, 19 days to go before his B day and he is just surpising everyone that said he couldn't , shouldn't and most defiantly wouldn't.
   They said he would not see, (he sees) He would not hear, ( he hears) He would not talk,(he talks your ear off), They said he would be a vegetable( that he is not). A miracle he is I tell you My Angel Cake Butter Milk Biscuit,(Braven).  He is more then they expected and nothing they did expect. He will be one on the 20th and shows no signs of ill will. Strong growing, bouncing baby boy that he is.
   God willing and Jesus besides and all the angels of past and future watch after this little man. He is bright and loving, and oh my I am not just saying these things because he is my nephew oh no, I would say this about any child that has gone through what this little guy has gone through in his first year, He doesn't fuss at all, can not even tell when he is sick other then he just gets quiet and sleepy lol. He is a funny loving laughing and giggling child with happiness all around him with no reason he thinks to be sad. He already knows lifes hardships, yet to him that is something that is normal to him. Yet he finds in all of his troubles true love and happiness with those who surround him. He is  amazing.

So Far So Good Vacation is great,

   Just wish there wasn't so much to do at home Lol. Well ok there is not that much to do .... Laundry's done and now I just have to clean the house, its alright won't take me but an hour to do it anyway. Then maybe I can get some Sims in the day.
    Woke up at 7 am yesterday, then went back to bed at 10:30 am woke back up at 1:55 pm. I never do that lol, can not say that I didn't enjoy it though. Loved every bit of it, Got laundry done, played in Illustrator some. Today I will go look and practice HTML Containers "you know make a website of some kind just to keep it in my head lol". Then tomorrow maybe play in InDesign a bit.
     Got to take girls to school today, Its snowing, you should all know that I hate driving in the snow. Wish me luck, Its cold out side to. I am sure I ll have lots of fun once I get home, only to turn around and go get my kids from school as they get out early today and tomorrow. Still will have fun we will play board games tonight and maybe some UNO. We all love UNO don't we?
     Other then that, this is my life.

First Day Of my three week Vacation, Sounds great but is it really going to be great?

     Well cleaning house, and getting everything ready, Out of school feels good, but now the real work begins, I have to clean my house, its not bad just need to DEEP clean, I have nothing else to do. In the mean time on my vacation I am going to keep up with my studies so not to forget what I have learn thus far.
      It is very important to stay on top of these things, in order for me not to forget so many tutorials I will do, in order to keep what I have already learned up, and to learn new and improved ways to better my ability to run the software needed.  I am so happy I can just do it on my own time for now.
      We will wait it out and see how my vacation really ends HA!  Until then hope all have Great Holidays.

Three more days and counting down, this is third day to.

   Well today we have design funds, and a test in there, only on chapter 3 so that is ok, and then we have Mac Sem, for me though Mac Sem is only like a study hall, as I already took my midterm in there and passed it. Then off to collage math, which we have a midterm test in that one.... grrrr hsssst!
   After that its off to home to chillax or ok at least clean the house, it is not that bad (the cleaning) just needs a few touch ups here and there lol. Finish laundry mostly, and then dishes and straighten the living room back up .
Today will be a better day then yesterday I know it will be it just has to be you can not have two bad days in a row.....can you?

Monday, December 13, 2010

Well just a few things, and then maybe,,,,, tomorrow will come.

    Ok so today was a rough day I will admit to that. One of the roughest days that I have had since starting back at school, though I was level headed about it, I broke down after class. However if I am going to tell this story I should begin at the beginning.
   We got  up and headed to take my eldest to her school bus stop, when I went to leave, I saw a sight I have never saw before and never most likely ever will again. I was at the stop sign waiting to turn into traffic when I saw the sun rising, however this was a sunrise I had never seen before, it was as if a UFO or other object from the sky was beaming a bright orange.yellowish light down from the clouds, onto the earth, it was so breathtaking.I am photographer at heart and love taking pictures, yet I did not have my camerae at the time all I had was my mobile phone cam, so I tried to capture what I could with that. However sad to say the pictures, did not do the scene any justice what so ever. I will share with you what I have, there is one that you can actually get an idea of the beam  of light but, still it looks nothing like what it did.










As you can see in these pictures the beauty it was holding, but this beauty is nothing like seeing it with your own eyes. Your own soul, it was like a sign from God telling me all will be fine. I after today knew that this sign was from god, though the rest of my day was horrible here after, this reminds me of Gods love and his miracles. It will all work out in the end.
   Got to school, and had a surprise quiz,  failed it miserably I suppose as I didn't finish it in time, I felt horrible because it is something so simple, and I couldn't believe I messed it up. Then continue over to my digital pub class and the printers weren't working properly, on my laptop. As well as not being able to print out a document correctly thinking it was all my fault. Stressed to the max and about in tears I held it up and sucked it up and took it slow, and breathe... I reminded myself. I finally was able to get stuff fixed from the documents owner and was able to finally print it out. We had to print someone Else's project rather then our own. Thus making it difficult as if they messed up it messed you up , But all that ends well is what is said. I ended and finished what I needed and then ran around town all day  paying bills and what not, in the snow and bad traffic that almost clipped my truck. Not my fault would of been the other drivers fault, had I not stopped suddenly and allowed them to continue to push their way in.
   Then now after all that mess I am home finally able to tell the story of a horrible day, that has not ended yet, but has chilled out for the most part lol. Still able to smile and love and laugh..... just not able to sigh with relief..... wait there it went sigh*.

One more week from today and I ll be doing a whole lot of ahhhh's

      Yes its almost over this semester, and I have yet to take at least two more test that I know of. I have not heard if we are taking tests in my other two classes but I am prepared for it if it does happen. I am excited to finidh the semester, and I am excited for it to begin, however the break is going to do me REAL GOOD!
      So far had been a busy week, with everything coming together in a fast and furious way, I am able to keep my head in the game, I have to do a little tweaking here and there on a few things and start a portfolio for semester 4 though it is far away yet, I still believe as the instructor says the earlier you can start on it the better.
      OH my am I tired but the weekend is here after tomorrow I am taking one day at a time no matter how slow it will go. At times is feels fast and then again very slow. I will get through this I am a tough gal it is not any easy course to do what I am doing. However I have made my mind up, it will happen...... I just need a little stress release is all.. A nice soak in the tub, with  a book and my imagination to take me away... WISH ME LUCK!

Midterms OH MY!






     Mid Terms are just around the corner, I am a little nervous yes, However despite the nervous Nelly stage that I am in, I am pushing forward and taking one day at a time. This is no time to bolt and run now, I have worked to hard to let it slip through my fingers.
    Finishing up last minute assignments, so that I can get my head into the books to study. I am alright to smile, laugh, and even cry if need be. Staying strong and living day to day is easier then looking in the future and worrying about what will come.This is no good for this time, You have to have your head into your goal at this moment to be able to make sure you stay on your track of destination.
    Therefore, never give up, never quit, do your best and that is all anyone will ever ask of you. Knowing you did your best will give you the since to continue on your track of success. I am not ready no, will I be ready? When that time comes I believe I will. Striving forward never back, that is what I will do.
     Forget yesterday, no keep it in the back of your head for reference, looking back to dwell that is something not acceptable. Looking back to remember yes that is ok. We will make it through this together it will be done. With hope, prayer, and study I will get through these MID TERMS!

Hoping your thanksgiving went well, as well as mine went,

   I do hope all of you had a great thanksgiving, mine went very well. Husband was able to make it home despite the weather. It was pretty bad where he was coming from being a trucker an all. However my brother fixed the dinner, it was the first time in many of years that I did not have to fix it myself. It was absolutely wonderful.
   Besides all of that I had a big project do for web Design, and I feared it.  Two days tryingto figure it out, and thinking I wouldn't be able to. Well its what I did I sat down and researched the internet, notes in my books and notebook, and finally I have it put together. It looks great I  feel wonderful about it. Sometime believing in yourself is enough to get you through the challenges that are ahead of you.
   I have  a project that I have been doing in Design Publishing as well as Design Finds and well that is going well to. I think all in all I am doing pretty good, in school. I just have to keep moving and just do it. I can achieve this and get things done when I put my mind to it. That I have found out through the years. Right now however I want to go relax and take a bath, I think I have well deserved it tonight that is. Ahhhh the feeling of success.

Thursday, November 18, 2010

Got a good nights rest, and still Projects to do.

   I have a quiz today in Graphics math, I have a quiz tomorrow on Typography, I have a quiz on Tuesday for collage math. Any advice and or suggestions on how to remember the steps to Math would be good right now.
With all these quiz's and projects lol.. I am telling you I am turning every which way but loose... wait a moment isn't that a song?
   In any event, all in all everything is good. I work hard everyday and night on my homework to keep up, and to keep my grades at a reasonable yet good standing (knock on wood). I love all my classes this year, even though math is my worse-st subject I feel that I can really really improve if I just work hard enough for it.
  My home life is hectic, with everyone doing there own thing, however is feels like I am on a tilt a whirl that won't stop more then half the time. How wonderful is that feeling.....got to tell you sometimes I have to hold tight because, once I think its about to stop... it start all over again....Semesters almost over, and I have made it thus far... That has to account for something right?

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

About that time, End of the Semester and Tests and Projects due!

    Yes it is about that time, where every thing is happing fast and furious. Have three test this week at least. I have a huge project due, and school gets out on Dec 16th. Then 3 weeks of long vacation time to relax and gather my exhausted brain cells lol.
     I am trying real hard to get this stuff done and feel that I am fairly good on timing, with everything thus far. I look tired I know that is truly because I am. What else is new, Things have been going real good for my family and myself. Husband has been on the road for almost two weeks this Friday, Says he'll stop by for an over night in the middle of the week sometime. This I look forward to as I have said its been darn near two weeks since I have seen him.
     Well off to do more homework, and clean a little bit I hope before I go to bed tonight. Oh btw  has anyone been watching the walking dead, I missed it last Sunday however I have it recorded on DVR so I I'll try to get that in as well tonight before bed. Let me know what you all think of that series if you do watch it.

Collage Math and it was going alright until...... Arrrg!






   Well waiting for the class to start, in the mean time I spend my time doing either homework, or face-book. Neither very healthy for my brain right now. I need a break from school to give the mind a refresh I suppose.
    It doesn't take much for me to take a break and get back on my feet. Its just when I need a break I can tell, I start forgetting stupid simple stuff that should of been automatic by now lol. I forgot to name a file in Design class today mylastname_typography and if that wasn't enough I colored words in a qoute that was suppose to be just Black an white.... ummm does that tell you I need a break.
    It tells me that I do because that is something I just do not forget ever. I love the class, not to pay attention. Thankfully Thursday next week we have it off, however sad because its a Thursday and not a Friday then I would have three days break that would get it done oh yeah! However its not luckily Friday I only have two classes each an hour long. This should be ok it will get me through until Thanksgiving which is the real break anyway.
    So with all this being said....... I NEED A BREAK PEOPLES, I am so tired taking a nap.... no wait class will start in 20 mins I guess naptime will wait another hour thirty-five minutes arrrrggg!

Thriving Ivory - Angels on the Moon

Song: Angels On The Moon lyrics



Do you dream, that the world will know your name?

So tell me your name

And do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?

I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel

I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive

To know I'm alive



Don't tell me if I'm dying, 'cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon



Do you believe, in the day that you were born?

Tell me, do you believe?

And do you know, that everyday's the first of the rest of your life?



Don't tell me if I'm dying, 'cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon



This is to one last day in the shadows

And to know a brother's love

This is to New York City angels

And the rivers of our blood

This is to all of us, to all of us



So don't tell me if I'm dying, 'cause I don't wanna know

If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go

Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon

Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon



Yeah, you can tell me all your thoughts

About the stars that fill polluted skies

And show me where you run to

When no one's left to take your side

But don't tell me where the road ends

'Cause I just don't wanna know,

No I don't wanna know



Don't tell me if I'm dying

Don't tell me if I'm dying

Don't tell me if I'm dying

Bon Jovi - Make a Memory - Love the song here is the lyrics and the video.... awesome man , song!

Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine
Killin' time
Trying to solve lifes mysteries
Hows your life?
It's been a while.
Gawd its good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Lookin for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say whats on your mind
Baby just breath. . .
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
I dug up this old photograph
Look at all the hair we had
It's bitter sweet to here you laugh
Your phone is ringing
I don't wanna ask
If you go now. . .
I'll understand
If you stay,
hey,
I got a plan
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
(guitar solo)
If you don't know if you should stay
And you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breath
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
(we should be)
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna make a memory?

So here I am again, In class..... Quiz after Quiz, Homework after homework!

Yes this week must be Quiz week, because we have had enough of them lol, I am trying my hardest and it seems to be going ok, Grades are good, and well I am happy for that at the very least. Though they may go down, at least they are high enough to manage. However I do not let that effect me, as I act as though I need each grade that is giving and act as though I need to do better to get a better grade.
Am I stressin to much over this... I think not. For Collage is different the high school, where one grade can make or break you. I want to make it, and I am working really hard to do just that.... to make it.
Got to go study, so this is a short but sweet blog today, I ll be trying off and on through the rest of the week to blog more. I can not be sure of that even as my brain just can not remember any more info, At least info of the small task that I set for my self to do. I am so concentrating on all this school work I have to do.
