A day off & countdown to the weekend

I had the day off today-- it was wonderful.... mostly cause it was a nice extension to the weekend. However, I know that the rest of the week will go by super fast. It might go by fast since I am super excited about this weekend. My dear friend (who lives on the other side of the state) is coming to visit. I am sure that will make for a fabulous weekend of laughs, fun, scrapbooking, rock n bowling (we are planning to do this with Ryan-- he will pass on the scrapbooking stuff).

It's been SUPER cold- perfect for getting my scrapbook stuff I have left scanned and organized for another blitz on the scrap stuff sales blog. Keep your eyes peeled-- I will post here when I reopen the scrap stuff blog. I put a end to it before Thanksgiving cause I knew I couldn't do that and all the other projects I had going. But, I would like to get my basement back (that's where it's all laid out over the floor. But sheesh-- I have a LOT of stuff and while I got rid of a lot of it-- I have a lot left.

Not much else is going on-- I am sure I will have some pics to post after this weekend. Off to make Taco soup for this week.
