FOB2Y - Birthday Style!

Birthdays are not something that is easy for me to swallow. I remember the year I thought I was turning 25.  I totally freaked out and started crying. Jamie came into the backyard where I sat sobbing and asked what the problem was. I said, "I can't believe I'm going to be 25." He told me I had the math all wrong and that I was turning 24.  It took me several moments to calm down and realize that he was right, I was only turning 24!!! LOL

I've decided to stop counting birthdays.  I am 29 and holding.  The truth is I have to really think about how old I really am because I've been lying about it for so long!!!

I think the perfect age is whatever makes you happy.  Now that I no longer think in terms of age I think that every year is the best!

The blog challenge at SSD is about nerdiness.  The link to the quiz is at the end of my post.   I really didn't realize that I was this much of a nerd.   I can't believe that I remember the periodic table and that other nerdy stuff.  These are my results.....

Oh crap....

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!.

Nerd Test

I can't believe that I let my blog go!!!! I've been SUPER incredibly busy the past month.  I tried out for two teams at the Sweet Shoppe and didn't make either of them.  I didn't really expect to get the SweetShoppe Babe title, but I really did expect to get the Hybrid Babe gig.  It hurt pretty bad when I got my reject letter. 

Other than that, I've been busy with home life and school life.  The kids just finished their baseball season.  Finally we don't have practice every night...kinda.  Alex has already started a one night a week football practice AND he was asked to play on a tournament team for baseball. 

On the school front, we are winding down our year. State testing is finished, thank goodness!!!!  I decided at this busy time of year to take a class too!!!  I'm taking the Geology of Southern California.   I really like the class and only have two more assignments to complete.   I need to write a lesson plan on some aspect of So. Cal Geology and I have to make a visit to a place of geological importance.

On the design front....I'm thrilled to announce that I joined two new Creative Teams.  First, I'm on ScrapKitchen's layout team.  OMG, what a dream come true!!!! I've been a fan of Susan's since back in the day when she had her own store.

Secondly...Dani Mogstad asked me to be one of her altered girls!!!! OMG!!!! I've been a fan of Dani's for a long time too!!  In fact, I've been wearing a "fan" blinkie for a few months now. 

I'll leave you with a few of my most recent projects.... (click on them to view the credits)

Not only did I empty and clean the entire panty, but I managed to scrap three layouts too!!!
