scrappy goodness

this is what ive been doing lately....just trying to play catch up i guess. scrappin at cams this weekend so hopefully ill get a little more done. but who knows she IS having a BBQ and i AM bringing the mojitos :) but maybe i can focus anyway--haha

CKC baby!

its that time of year again! ckc tulsa is RIGHT around the corner. im so excited---well ok its still like 2 months away and stuff but registration is TODAY! im a little peeved that basic grey isnt teaching classes here like everywhere else in the country but i think im gonna be taking too many classes as it is. this year we are gonna be staying with our pal Lori, who just bought this FANTASTIC new house in that area. its LOTS of shopping LOTS of classes LOTS of fun and NO sleep! haha

this one is titled PET PEEVES

you know i consider myself a pretty reasonable person. but everyone has their little quirks and pet peeves that if someone does it just sends them to the moon. one of mine happen to be FLAKY PEOPLE! i hate...absolutely HATE when someone flakes on an obligations---that they had the free will to agree to or turn down. now i admit...i have a hard time saying NO like alot of people but come on! and i realize that some people have issues that cant be avoided---and in those cases i totally get that and understand that life happens. another one of my pet peeves is people driving SLOW in the FAST lane...and refusing to get over and let you pass....of course ive been accused of treating Owen K Garriott like the Autobahn...but is it really too much to ask that people ACTUALLY go the speed limit?!? here are some others (just off the top of my head!)
*people who dont use turn signals
*people who USE turn signals but dont TURN
*people who give you "the look" when your kid throws a fit in public (its called a FAMILY restaurant for a reason....no one's family is perfect!)
*people who crowd behind me in line....dont worry youll get your turn
*people who dont understand the personal space law ( this is your dance space, this is my dance space---can ya tell what movie thats from?!?)
*people who use the EXPRESS 10 items or less lane for their HUGE monthly shopping trip
*people whos kids are totally rude to other kids and their parents dont do/say anything about it
*people who dont know how to give CONSTRUCTIVE criticism
*people who think they can do your job better than you....but really cant (go ahead...try-- I DARE YOU!)
*people who think just because you are less than your normal perky self that youre having "issues" and need some therapy (im fine REALLY, i am)
*people who are extreme hypochondriacs
*people who dont know how to take NO as an answer

sorry just needed to vent a bit :) ( im fine...REALLY!)

signage

....the second mouse gets the cheese.....
saw that on a sign today----what does that MEAN exactly???

guilty pleasures

so what is WRONG with me?!?! it started back when the pussy cat dolls came out with that song...Dontcha Wish Your Girlfriend was Hot like Me?....i knew that i should absolutely HATE that song but i just couldnt help myself. I LOVED IT!!! sang it every freakin day for like 2 months. now its that crazy new avril lavigne song (another one about a girlfriend) i find myself rockin out everytime it comes on the radio! you know i think i have pretty good taste in music in general. but every now and then this crap sneaks under my radar. and you know i really dont like avril...i mean is she punk or is she pop?!?! whatever---i know ive done like alot of music lately but im gonna share anyway CUZ I KNOW YOU LIKE IT TOO!! hahaa

this song.....

yep thats right....we got a little craaazzyy!

forrest and his "shiny girlfriend" ---this might have actually started the conversations about lickin' ass :) which became the theme of the evening....haha

ive just been visiting a few blogs today and found this little thing kinda fun....

Your Quirk Factor: 70%

You're so quirky, it's hard for you to tell the difference between quirky and normal. No doubt about it, there's little about you that's "normal" or "average."

How Quirky Are You?

"anime wendy"

"smiley wendy"

"smiley wendy #2"

"porn star wendy"


i realized today that there really arent alot of pix of me on my blog...im usually BEHIND the camera!! well lets face it there just arent alot of pix of me period---all of the kids. so this was kinda fun for a change---AND my hair is long enough again to start rockin the pigtails!! just when im thinkin of choppin my hair off again! you can thank brad and cammeron for the pic labels :)

scrappy weekend

didnt get alot done this weekend but i did manage to play with some new basic grey--didnt think id like it much but i LOVE IT!! hope you like the pipe cleaner heart--- i cut my finger with my scissors while making it, so i literally put my blood sweat and tears into my art! haha

weekend update

soooo we had the garage sale this weekend instead of last weekend--and boy did it every pay off!!! the weather was the most perfect garage sale weather EVER! a little cool, not windy or rainy, but bright and sunny :) i sold prb 3/4 of my scrappin stuff that i set out...not too bad i think. AND i had some girl buy every single sheet of my scrappin paper!!! (sorry shelly!) even though im COMPLETELY exhausted i think in the end it was worth it.

went scrappin yesterday too....since i was the one who did most of the garage sale work brad told me to go and scrapbook and he would work the sale----and who am i to argue with logic like that?!?! :) such a great guy! got thru thanksgiving done in phoebes book but not crazy about any of the pages i did---just glad to get them DONE! and today im goin over to my gmas house for some quality time over there. my parents dont have alot to do with them anymore (or with us for that matter) so i like to go over and visit at least once a week with the kids.

and im really hoping that i didnt totally break my foot this week. i broke it like 9 yrs ago and its been really hurting again in the same spot. its not swollen or anything so i asked "Dr. Jen" what could be wrong with it...effa-she-itus??? (i have no clue how to spell that so its done the PHONICS way! haha) she said that could be one of the things or it could just be arthritis---???? WTF???? how is that even possible in someone as young and beautiful as me!!?!?!?! :) so im gonna wait it out a few days. i really dont want to go to the dr for this.

wendy needs...

wendy needs...a patient,loving, and committed family who can provide structure (ok so i guess i can check that one off of my list!)

...every measuring cup and teaspoon she can find (hahaha--i think someone snuck in my kitchen and has been watching me cook!)

...a little time Dress her boy up Take him out on parade (these were lyrics to a song with my name...kinda weird cuz i do like to get him all dolled up)

... to get a clue (hmmm i always thought i was pretty clued in??)

...the Money (awww ya---wendy could always use the MONEY!)

...Your Assistance ( and a little help now and then never hurt!)

ok that was fun...been seeing this on alot of blogs and wondered what the big deal was---pretty interesting stuff :)

thank you martha!

ok so i saw these on martha's website and thought they were super cute! so i found some rad felt and made some of my own :) well they arent really mine...ill be sending these to a certain happy mailer that totally made my day ---hmmm wonder who that will be?!?!

oops!

heres my pic of some of that rad stuff!

once upon a time...

so going through my garage to get ready for the garage sale and i found this box. thought it prb had some crap in it but once i started digging i found all of this! i thought i had gotten rid of all my old ravin stuff and i was a little sad about that. i almost shrieked when i found a bag FULL of my old binkies and beads and my really fun glitter shades :) haha i found all kinds of glitter and bubbles too (ya at one time i was a candy kid!) im so glad i didnt get rid of that stuff! also found some great stuff from high school---a happy birthday banner that all of my friends signed--including brad (he did lots of the art work) and i also found a mix tape he made me a LONG time ago! that was such a great find...and then i found the anthology thing that all seniors can submit to and get published. and of course i submitted a VERY bad poem--hahaha. its so easy to get wrapped up in being the responsible adult stuff. i easily forget who i used to be. and maybe who i still am. its great to run across these little reminders though

our Easter best

there werent alot of good pictures this time around--plus it was SOO cold outside this year. but these are just a few of the fun ones i did get. i couldnt get phoebe to put down her toy cell phone long enough to get good pictures of the both of them (shes not even close to being a teenager yet!!!) haha but we had a great day. first we went to my gmas house and had an awesome lunch there then it was off to brads moms house for another late lunch...i dont think ive ate that much in my life!! carla made these killer crescent rolls made with mashed potatoes (talk about doubling up on some carbs!) and she also made this crazy italian love cake from paula dean. and i learned some family history today...i learned that sundays were reserved for certain activities and that bacon has always been popular with the Toomans. (thats as far as im willing to go with that!!) haha anyway here are my cuties in their easter best---love them to death!

the faux-hawk

for some weird reason, for the last year everytime weve gone to get mareks haircut he requests a mohawk. and the hair stylists just look at me like "are you gonna let him do this??" and of course i say "ummm no!!" well the girl who does his hair this time tried to make him happy and styled his hair into a faux-hawk---and i have to admit he looked pretty darn cute! :) these were just some fun pix of us rockin out on the couch with our new do!

we were THOSE people...

we went to an easter egg hunt yesterday at my best friends moms house. there were ALOT of people there...i think the head count ended up at 52. we had 2 different kinds of ham, 3 or 4 different scalloped potatoes, all different salads and deserts. YUMMY!! after we ate the kids all got pretty anxious and i guess phoebe could sense it or something because she had a MAJOR meltdown. pterodactyl scream and all. were used to it so it wasnt so bad---and even jen wasnt phased by the blood curdling screams that came out of my precious little girl....but most everyone elses eyes bugged out and we heard the phrase "whats wrong with her??" whispered several times. ok people there were a CRAPLOAD of kids there and if none of those kids have ever thrown a fit in their lives then you must be slippin them some valium!!! I MEAN COME ON!!! its bad enough that she does it and we are completely embarrassed when she does...but to make us feel like shes got a mental disorder is crossing the line. i admit, before i had kids, i couldnt STAND peoples kids that would freak out like that. but everyone who said anything like that yesterday had at least 2 kids with them!!! ok i guess im done ranting...so we did the egg hunt and marek had a blast---it was phoebes first one so she wasnt really sure about it...shed find and egg and just point to it--but then some other kid would come along and pick them up!! she was like one of my dads german shorthairs that would point when they found the bird my dad shot! so out of like 200 eggs she got 6. better luck next year kiddo :)

i hate playing tag!

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

*i am closer with my grandma than my mom--i havent spoken to her since january and i call my gma at least once a week

*i dont like my food to touch---at all

*clowns give me anxiety attacks

*i am competitive at an unhealthy degree

*i have a giant beautifully framed poster sized picture of Eddie Vedder hanging in my bedroom--and brad bought it for me

*i love layouts that have "white space" but i can never seem to achieve that look---it always looks like it needs more

* i make a MEAN black-bottom banana cream pie :)

ok there i did it---i dont read blogs much so im gonna tag BECKY, SHELLY, and MALLORY
have fun girls!! :)

something different to look at

haha! so ive been prodded to update (im obviously not that great at this blogging thing!) and ive taken a ton of cute pix of the kids and ive scrapped alot of cute new pages but still NO CARD READER! haha --with easter right around the corner every cent goes to the baskets, dinners, pictures, new outfits, more pictures, and CANDY :) haha so maybe after the garage sale... these lovelies are my kiddose (obviously) in case youre wondering what they are doing they are looking at kitties on the computer... phoebes obsessed with kitties and her brother loves the computer so this is how they share. marek likes picking out the different kitties for her to look at. (i know say it with me "AWWWWW!" haha) and i tried something new last nite. NOOO its not what youre thinking :) haha i tried cammerons musubi. i cant even begin to describe it--but here goes...its like spam sushi. its rice and spam wrapped up in seaweed---definately not the worst thing thats ever been in my mouth! but not something im gonna have a major craving for either! and id like to give a big bloggy THANK YOU to my snail mail pal SHELLY for sending me those neato stickers...me and cammeron have fun going thru each others happy mail stash to see what the other is getting--and we definately had fun scrappin last nite :) but next time i hope she leave the musubi out! :)

oldies but goodies...

i absolutely LOVE these pics!! haha the first 2 are from when i did this hair/fashion show. i totally rocked the 80s look and got my ass kissed while doing it! (thanks cammeron!) i just knew you'd appreciate this flashback! haha























this one is my favorite pic of brad. we were at the zoo and had such a good time--isnt he just a stud?!?!
and last but not least a great family pic taken by who else---cammeron! it was really cold that day but i just love how this captured us as a family

this is what happens when i dont have any new pix to upload...i just go diggin thru old ones!!

GARAGE SALE

yep, thats right! im having a garage sale. i always said that i would only ever have one big giant sale after we were done having kids and get rid of everything all at once. well i guess i lied! haha its more of a fundraiser i guess...trying to get the funds to have a good time in tulsa at CKC. since i dont have a job that pays anymore (except in smiles!) i feel i need to come up with other ways to make a buck. im purging my scrap stash--getting rid of a HUGE stack of paper and stickers and embellishments. im even selling off scrapbooks and kits, page protectors and tools...if i havent used it in at least 6 months its got a big fat yellow sticker on it for .50!! went thru all of mareks old clothes and some of phoebes. theres some nice stuff in there--lots with price tags still on it!! so basically im hoping that someone like me comes to my garage sale and buys all my crap! haha went thru the kids toys last nite and i dont have a ton of those to sell yet--still need to go thru mareks room. but im almost there--its not until mid-april but to get everthing the way i want it ill need that long---plus this is an EXCELLENT excuse for brad to clean out the garage and start putting stuff up in the attic! woohoo! haha

wish i still had my card reader---

cuz i need to show yall the AWESOME paper i got from my HAPPY MAIL girl!!!! shelly you rock my flippin face off!! haha :) that stuff is GREAT i cant wait to use it---thanks for the pick-me-up! maybe i can talk brad into letting get another card reader this weekend---phoebe ran off with the other one and we cant find it ANYWHERE!

im meredith

found this fun quiz about greys anatomy to find out what character youre most like
IM MEREDITH!!

you dont always make the right choices, but you get points for trying, bouncing right back, and starting over. for being so "dark and twisty" you have a surprisingly sunny outlook on life.
youre quick to jump into new relationships, but just as quick to jump out. After the example your parents set, learning to trust someone else takes
just about everything you got.
