Finally!!!

I thought Friday would NEVER get here. Coming back from vacation was not so bad. The week started well. Things were caught up at work...I slaved before leaving to have things covered and was rewarded with a light work week. No Mr. Bossman here on Monday...always a good thing. Tuesday, he returned, in a very crabby mood I might add. But I still managed to weather the day nicely. I kept thinking vacation had been just what I needed to tap back into my love for my job. Then came Wednesday. And the hours crept by. Thursday, I felt the minute hand was glued down and time stood still. Long, insufferable 8 hour work day! But it is now Friday and I am counting down the minutes until the glorious weekend begins! How about you guys? Looking forward to a couple days of down time?

My weekend plans include alot of home projects. I started a complete re-do of my scraproom on Sunday. To say a tornado hit that room is an understatement. But I'm a fast worker and I've done my prep work. I had mapped out a plan for where I wanted everything to go so I'm almost finished. In fact, all that is left is the random things I forgot about when creating my master plan. But everything should be in its new home soon. All I will lack is my new paint job that Keith has promised. Next time he's here I'm sure he will take care of that for me. Isn't he just the sweetest? Also hoping to get in some scrapping time. I have missed it so badly!

I was blessed with a few awards over the last few days. First of all, Stacy passed along this lovely award.

Take some time to stop by and tell her hi. She is a super talented scrapper who I feel sure would love to hear from you.

Next, Jocelyn passed on 2 awards. Of course, most of you know my dear friend, Jocelyn. I think we run in the same "blog" circle! LOL! If you don't know Ms. J., be sure to drop in on her. She has a cool, happenin' blog with some fun scrapping eye candy thrown in for your viewing pleasure. The first award happens to be the same one Stacy shared and here is the second one.



You guys know the drill as well as I do. I'm suppose to pass these on to a few other lucky ladies. I cannot ever seem to narrow it down. Will you think I'm a total flake if I say one more time that I want to offer it up to all of my awesome readers? You are the reason I do this blog "thing". I started by wanting to create a personal diary but it has exploded into this wonderful new group of friends. You are all THE most amazing, supportive people I have ever "met"! I just love you all!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend full of sunshine and smiles!

P.S. Thanks for all the compliments on my new blog design! I'm so in {heart} with it!

P.P.S. The concert was a blast! Not my first Keith Urban concert, but it was the first one for my Keith. I knew we were in for a good time and he seemed to have a blast.

Got to share one little funny: Being that most of us have probably made this mistake I feel I have to share. Ever left your clothes in the washer too long and realized, a little too late, that they've soured? I walked into our hotel room and was immediately hit with that totally recognizable odor. I thought it was something in the room. It was so overpowering, I feared we would have to change rooms. But it was something to worry about after the concert because we didn't have time to deal with it before. Once at the arena, I realized the "smell" had followed us. Thinking it was Keith's shirt, he went against his...ahem..."tight wad" ways and bought a T-shirt because he was embarrassed that it might be him. Uh, didn't do the trick. Long story short, we sat through the entire concert wondering what in the world it could be. I even went so far as to wonder if he had "picked it up" in the room. Yeah, I was reaching. As the concert came to an end, I bent over to pick up my water bottle and I was assaulted by the obnoxious fumes. It was his jeans! Needless to say, he learned a thing or two about laundry that night! LOL!
