Gather up your tears, keep em in your pocket

I said I was going to re-think how I do my journaling. Well I should say I am going to try to journal more. FYI it's been hard, but I managed to journal on this page. YAY! It was quite difficult. Sadly it is not very much journaling either. Lame on my part. However I do like it.
They have this great park here in Stockton with a HUGE fountain that the kids can run through and get absolutely soaked!

We have such a great time there and it's free! Haha I am all about free. I sometimes am tempted to wear some shorts and a tank and run through it myself. Alas I don't wear shorts. My legs are terrible! Hate hate hate them.

If my legs were nice I would so be in that dang fountain! I may one day just run through it in my pants. *wink*

Do you have a awesome place in your city you like to go?

I passed my RDA! YESSSSSSSS! I am so super excited. I still have a few obstacles to get over to get my license, but the best part is no more tests! Going to get my fingerprints done today. After that just need to renew my cpr license and then I'm golden!

I had a wonderful weekend. Saturday Gina came and picked me up and she drove us (Tricia and Ashley) to AIS. Ginger and Diane were already scrappin away when we got there.


Ashley, Ginger and I had a funtastic time. Laughing, scrappin and eating way to much. I tried chow fun. Scraped 1 page. Yes 1. Lovely time.


Sunday the hubs and I got up and went to the flea market. They had so many vintage suitcases it was insane. I didn't get one tho. *sad face* I didn't even ask the price. I wanted to save my little bit of change for me and hubby to get a burger at 5 guys and we did. YUM! I love Sundays with my man.

Came home swam and watched Scream 4. Not bad. Wasn't expecting to much from it so I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. Ha! It is getting close to one of my fav times of year so you know there will be lots of horror flicks in my future. Yay!

You must be mistaken

Everyone seems to be doing a week in the life but I think I will keep it simple and show you a weekend in the life of me...Not that I am special and you really care but hey, just in case you do. *wink*

I had such a wonderful weekend. I think I have been saying that a lot lately. Went up to Berkley with Ashley, Ginger, and Diane. We met up with Kerry Lynn, Kristi, Nikki, Daniela, and Kari at scrapbook territory. Laughter, bitching, snacking, and of course a little scrapping, was had.

I finished one page and started another. Played with the new Amy Tangerine line. Super cute stuff called for a super cute picture or two.

My silly daughter Raven. I love taking pictures of her when she will allow me. She is sooooo beautiful. My real life model.

Love using punches and I am seriously in love with those medallion punches. This one is from Martha Stewart. I also used stamps on this layout! Again from the Amy Tangerine line.

To stitch or not to stitch.
I say to stitch. So I did.

I started another layout but I didn't finish so that one will be coming soon. We had a mini photo shoot because we have so much fun that we forget to take pictures. I demanded Kristi get her totally wicked camera out and start shooting.

She takes wonderful pics. I love them all.

I took a few but not many.

Sunday planned a picnic with the kids at our favorite park.




Then hubby and I had a date night. Our fav restaurant with our fave couple…us! Bawahaha!


I love their fried mushrooms. Tuesday is movie day and I am hoping to go see the help. I forgot to mention we went and saw Harry Potter (freaking loved it and totally cried like a baby) and Crazy Stupid Love (another great one). I love watching movies with him. Date nights are so lovely.

I worked on a tiny sweet mini today. I think I am in love with it. That does not happen often with my creations. I will share soon!
