They never seem to end, between doctors and people and lots more that can't be said, its nice to have some nothing days, enough though they are far and few between because I have so much homework!
Today I saw the cutest movie!
Today I also went window shopping:
My new favorite online store ModCloth , they have the cutest dresses!!!!
Happy Friday everyone!! Only 1 more day left till NSD!!! I haven't had much time to scrap this week, between school, finals, physical therapy, doctors and visiting other important people :-) I got a new brace for my hand and more physical therapy scheduled too, so its been a rough week on my poor little hand. Hopefully the hand will be in less pain tomorrow so I can play for NSD. Two Peas in a Bucket is having some great challenges, which I definitly wanna give a shot at. Don't forget to check out Pink Paislee and Bo Bunny for some blog hopping!
I love love love Grey's Anatomy! I don't know why I don't have this as a dvd set yet. My mother calls the show "Basic Grey" ... LOL ROFL, only a true scrapper can understand that. So the show is on every weekday from 6pm-9pm on Lifetime. The best episode is in two parts "Its the end of the world" and "as we know it". I was all over the place with omg, whoa, no way and tears! If you haven't seen it I would highly suggest it.
Here are some of my fav pieces:
PRESTON: "You need to go. I cannot do this with you in here. I cannot think."
CRISTINA: "You know in movies, how the hero and there's always the other guy, the one who sees danger and runs in the opposite direction?"
PRESTON: "Yes."
CRISTINA: "Be the other guy."
PRESTON: "That's not an option."
MEREDITH: [narrating] "In hospitals, they say you know when you’re going to die. Some doctors say it’s a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there’s a scent, a certain smell. Some say it’s some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is headed for you, you feel it coming. If today were your last day on Earth? How would you spend it?"
MEREDITH: "Hey."
DEREK: "Hey. You almost died today."
MEREDITH: "Yeah, I almost died today."
MEREDITH: "I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was 'I'm going to die today' and I can't remember our last kiss. Which is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy... I want to be able remember that. And I can't, Derek. I can't remember."
DEREK: "I'm glad you didn't die today."
DEREK: "It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little Dartmouth t-shirt you look so good in. The one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed you hair and smelled like some kind of... flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were going to see me later, and you lean to me, put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kind of like a habit. You know, like we'd do it everyday for the rest of our lives. Then you went back reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed."
Best song for sure! Its by Ana Nalick "Breathe". Enjoy the clip :) (You will have to pause the blog tunes on the right side so you can listen to this ;D)
There are some changes to the blog
Today has been a very productive day so far. I got up extra early and finished off the chores. I am working on my favorites links on my computer and blog hopping. I plan on getting to the scrapbook room today too. If the weather is better maybe hitting the pavement to go running and some picture taking. OMG the cleaning that has been taking place is insane and the packing, I'm so not looking forward to that by any means.
To help me clean is the best vacumm ever, yes in the whole wide world, this vacumm rocks. I wish mine was pink though lol :p me drooling over the pink one below.
Its that time of year again! Hopefully all of you have completed and turned in your taxes already, mine were done a while ago. So with tax day comes free goodies and some deals, one of my favorites is: Boston Market Tax Day Coupon. Of course I took part in that coupon today with my mom :). I love there cornbread!!!!!!!
I've been working in the scrapbook room on orgainizing and keep track of my die's. Some scrappers collect paper, ribbon, stamps but for me its die cutting dies, so I definitly need a way to keep track of them. I've been working on this project for a while, just now have the time to finish it up.
Hope everyone is having a good week. Just another thank you for everyone's wonderful email, text and phone calls on whats been going on recently, it is all greatly appreciated. Hugs n Luvs Kat
A layout for a silly girls family scrapbook :) . Lots of stuff going. Today I had physical therapy for my arm/wrist, it went well. Nothing too exciting today, just trying to relax and move forward. Hope everyone has a nice day.
Ok I'm officially addicted to watching Grey's Anatomy again! Its on Lifetime during the week at 6pm so no matter where I am in the house it gets turned on, thank goodness I have a tv in my art room. Today they played the episode called "the ties that bind" and this is my favorite part. Alex couldn't have said it any better than if I said it myself LOL.
Also put some goodies in the scrapbook garage sale photo album that is under my blog header, I emailed everyone back so far. I wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and prayers for what I'm going through and the new incident that me and my family are going through, I really appreciate it all.
Just wanted to wish everyone a hoppy easter. Hope everyone has a nice day :-)
I made this banner last night, the dew drops are clear and I dyed them with alcohol inks!!!
I die cut the circle out of a thick plastic material with the sizzix machine. then i used stazon timber brown to do the backround which is a wood pattern. I didn't want to do too much to the banner so you could still see the butterflies. :-)
I used the martha stewart fringe scissors to make it look like grass, these are so much fun to make and super easy too!!!
I had lots of extra eggs this time around so I had fun placing them in different spots all around the house.
So its been a while since I've seen this show and being sick and stuck at home trying to get better, I had some time today to watch it. Of course I have to watch the saddest episode ever!!!! I was crying like a baby. I tried to put the part in from you tube, the episode is called "crash into me". There was an accident with two ambulance at the hospital and one of the paramedics is dying and they call his wife who happens to work at the hospital and she comes out to say good bye. OMG its heart breaking. I guess I took it to heart working in the public safety world and I also remember crying one night when someone I knew went back on the road and I was so worried about them and just wanted them to come home safely. The episode that follows and finishes that story is called "lay your hands on me". Both sad episodes so make sure you have tissue's handy!
Dear Florida Animal Advocates,
We all know that pet overpopulation causes needless animal pain and suffering. Homeless animals are forced to live in fear and scrounge for food and water, do not receive medical care, and almost always lead short, difficult lives. Florida’s shelters are inundated with too many animals to adopt out, and euthanasia rates are higher than any of us can tolerate. Part of the solution to this problem is to increase spay and neuter efforts statewide.
Now pending in the Florida General Assembly, Senate Bill 2372 and House Bill 1221 would allow counties to raise the surcharge (from $5 to $15) they impose on those who violate local animal control ordinances. This additional money will be used by counties to finance their spay/neuter efforts.
By reducing the number of accidental litters born in Florida, we will prevent animal suffering as well as lessen the financial burden on the state’s public and private animal shelters. The best part is that this is not a tax, so it will not take money out of your pockets or the state’s budget!
What You Can Do
Please urge your elected officials to support SB 2372 and HB 1221 and move them quickly through the legislative process. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center today to email your state senator and representative.
Thank you for supporting the ASPCA and Florida’s animals.

Today is a day to remember all the people that lost there lives and loved that were lost. At work we were allowed to wear red, white and blue to show our support. So I wore my american ribbon on my wrist to help show my support. I also want to add a note to not forget about all the soliders who are out there fighting for our freedom. They are doing an amazing job and I wish there quick and safe return home. Below are some images that I have found around the www. - Kathy
