New releases out the wazoo this week!!

Posted on 21st April 2012 in GS Creations, Kim. B

Where the hell has this week gone? It has just FLOWN by!!

I had a mostly good week at work (for a change). :P The new trainee from last week has already quit (what a shocker). I have no idea who will be replacing her. Not many folks are interested in nights or could handle the work load for that matter. We’ll see what happens in the weeks ahead…

As for me, I only have to work Sunday and Monday night this week as I am off for a few days by myself to visit my folks and friends in the Ottawa Valley. I leave Tuesday when I wake up and will be back Saturday night. Not really a long getaway seeing as how two of those days are traveling but I’ll take what I can get right now. ;-) I’m looking forward to unwinding a little and enjoying some of my mom’s home cooking. She already has planned a feast of homemade tourtiere for my arrival. Yum!!

Kim B’s Designs and GS Creations have been keeping me busy downloading if nothing else. LOL. I haven’t had two minutes to myself this week to play. I just got all these goodies unzipped about 5 minutes ago. ROFL!!

Gaye has some delicious patterns and templates new these last two weeks!! (all images linked)

Or you can buy them by the bundle!!

Also Gaye has a new set of patterns out!

Not to be outdone, Gaye’s sister Kim B. has a new kit out as well as some some new CU goodies!!

Contains:
20 JPG papers 12×12
56 Elements:
7 word art

Closeup:

Well I think that’s it for me. I have a ton of baking to do and I still have to pack. Wheeeeeeeee!! At least my phone is full of tunes for the trip. Loud, thumpy and totally dance . My daughter will be so proud. :P

A.W.O.L.

Posted on 10th April 2012 in Chattin'

Lately I have been AWOL on my blog. I have good intentions but no energy to actually sit and type out thoughts.

Lately night shift has been kicking my ass only because I am surrounded by newbies. One of them has already quit. I find the whole nonsense stressful which affects my home life. I’m exhausted and not interested in much of anything lately. I have been dabbling a little bit in Photoshop but they are sporadic bursts at best.

I need a vacation to get away from work, get away from the rejects I get stuck with and to get away from the two members of this household who are on my last nerve. Supermom / Wonder Woman is about to go on strike…

Happy Easter!!!

Posted on 8th April 2012 in Kim. B

(ticks me off that I wrote this post out hit publish and it went “poof”…)

We’re having a pretty mellow Easter today. Hubby is working today, kid is fevered,congested and full of snot and I’m in the kitchen cooking. Tonight we’ll feast on maple/brown sugar glazed ham, scalloped potatoes and we’ll top it off with both an apple pie and a cherry pie. Yum!!

KimB’s Designs has been a busy bee before she went on holidays by releasing 2 kits and a doodled alpha! Check them out!!

You Are My Sunshine Mini:

Doodled Paper Alpha:

Live Laugh Play:

and here’s my layout I did with it. I chose to scrap the hag herself! LOL!

:D

Well that’s it for me. Just a quickie but there are two pies to be made and nothing gets in the way of pie. Just sayin’…. ;-)

My brain has gone AWOL

Posted on 24th March 2012 in GS Creations, Kim. B

It’s been two weeks since I have last posted and I can’t honestly say where these two weeks have gone because everything is a blur. What I DO know is that I am working with two newbies who in my opinion are completely useless. One I know. She’s the mom of Julie’s friend but MAN she is NOT cut out for the job. Neither is the other woman. Both of them are in poor health, both are mostly deaf (sucks in drive thru let me tell ya) and one of them is half blind. It’s very frustrating. I don’t think either of them will last. If they do survive the probation period I will be very surprised…

In the meantime I slog on and try very hard NOT to snap.

In scrapping I am ridiculously behind. I am currently 3 kits & a grab bag (which has since been opened) behind for Kim. Hoping to get to play with her new one tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed that I get an hour to myself tomorrow. LOL

Salty Kisses & Offshore Bundle: (purchase Salty Kisses and you get Offshore free!!)

Contains: 17 papers, 55 elements, 2 alphas & wordy bits.

 

Now isn’t that pretty? I am dying to crack into it. Swing by Kim’s blog to see a ton of new products, layouts and a slew of freebies too. I don’t know how she does it….

*Edited*: I did it!!! Here’s mine! :D

Gaye of GS Creations has been busy as well..

CU Layered Tree Templates:

CU Layered Tree Templates 2:

and if you scoot over to visit Gaye’s blog there is a matching freebie too. ;-)

Well that’s it for me for today. I have a house to clean and a Chocolate Silk Pie to make. The girls are coming over tonight for some dessert and some laughs. Have a great weekend!!

If it was summer there would be crickets chirping…

Posted on 10th March 2012 in Chattin'

It’s just THAT quiet. It’s awesome.

Schools are closed for March Break. Julz is off for a  week. She has booked some days for babysitting and Mom has made her a list of chores to keep her busy too. :P She isn’t allowed to have kids here for sleepovers when I’m working/sleeping after completely blowing an opportunity over the Christmas holidays. She has been warned within an inch of her life by both me and her dad that if they woke me up, there would be hell to pay. The friend she had over that time was LOUD and when the girls started squealing and shrieking, they woke me up and I came flying out of my bedroom at 11am hollering “Shut the F*#k up!!!”. Julie knew they had blown it. Nadine didn’t care and wouldn’t shut up. She got an earful & won’t be back. Julie still tries to sweet talk me into sleepovers when I’m working but I stick to my guns. Days off only kid. Deal with it. By the way, do your damn chores. ;-)

I’m done training people (for now anyway).  My co-worker Trevor had to train his replacement and the replacement for the other woman leaving nights. I know one of the girls that I will be working with. She’s nice but talks too much. She starts yakking and stops what she’s doing, laughs  and then talks some more. Drives me nuts. LOL. Get out of my kitchen. ROFL. I have a very tight timeline to follow and I NEED you to be out of the kitchen by 2am at the latest. I will be surprised if she is physically able to handle the job. She has rheumatoid arthritis which is really giving her grief and is having a hard time keeping up. The other woman is a worker and has worked in a coffee shop for 12 years but has health issues of her own. (brittle diabetic and blind in one eye). Trevor is getting nervous that either one of these women won’t last and he’ll be stuck on nights again until they find someone else. He’s moving to morning drive-thru. He’s good at drive-thru and the girls there like him too. I’ve had more fun working with him these last 6 months. I’m really going to miss him on nights.

What else is new. Let me see…..oh yeah nothing. LOL. It’s dead silent here. Hubs and the kid are on their way to the Ottawa Valley for the weekend. House is peaceful. Well okay that’s a crock of shit. The cats are sleeping, the dog is outside and I’m rocking out to the Spin Doctors. Not exactly quiet (the windows and floors are just a thumpin’) but it’s just perfect for me. :D


Today is a “me day” . Phones turned off, junk food, my favorite movies (Blues Brothers, Rocky Horror & a slew of Jason Statham movies), a nap or two…I’m going to the neighbors tonight for a farewell for our friend and neighbor Ryan who is being transferred up north next week. Pizza, wings and beer. Good thing I’m sleeping alone tonight. Bwahahahaha!!!

Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Random Brain Drain

Posted on 28th February 2012 in Random Tuesday Thought

Ro? I have to tell you that this cracked me up SO bad last night I scared the cats.

I had to snag it. ROFL!!

It’s a quiet afternoon here. I just woke up about a half hour ago. I’m slurping on my first coffee of the day with a purring cat on my lap.

I’ve had a really ROUGH week last week with work. Last week I was training the first of two people. The kid was very personable but he’s more of a talker than a worker. He kept stressing about his hair (buddy? I can’t see your hair. You have a hairnet on and a visor. I REALLY don’t give a rat’s ass about your damn hair..). Needless to say when they decided to knock it off with the training and “throw him to the wolves” to get some experience, he sucked…. By the end of last week I was in tears & ready to quit. They gave me a day off to rest up because on Sunday I was scheduled to start training “Buddy With The Hair”s girlfriend. That girl is a natural worker. You show her once and she’s got it. She did 70% of the night’s bake by herself. My boss decided after one day’s training she was a natural and was intelligent enough to figure out how to do things herself. Customer Service is where this chick excels. She’s in tonight and tomorrow by herself. I don’t see a problem there. If she does get overwhelmed I will be very surprised.

The weekend was mostly uneventful in that I had I had to work Friday night. It was very rough for other reasons but that’s par for the course it seems lately. Friday afternoon my daughter came home from school sobbing because of classmate of hers has passed away that morning. She was heartsore. :-( She had an appt. to get her haircut and by the end of the appt. the owner of the salon Gary, had her laughing and cheered that sad little face right up. We thanked him with an ice cream sundae. He was THRILLED. :) Saturday night, my husband worked which was good. He and I fought all afternoon. He was behaving like a bloody two year old I wanted to tear his nuts off and shove them down his throat. Made my only day off miserable. My daughter had to babysit so I actually had the house to myself for a few hours. I was looking forward to having the TV remote to myself and an evening of Jason Statham movies. I just plopped myself on the couch with a pot of coffee and the remote when hubby calls wanting me to record the UFC fights for him while he’s at work. Seriously? You’re not even here and you are STILL ruining my evening off…So much for my relaxing night. I cleaned the house in anger instead. ROFL! Sunday my daughter was sick all day. Yesterday I got woken up by the school to come get her. She was all grey with violet shadows under eyes with a dandy fever. She’s full of the cold. Her head and chest are full of congestion. The vaporiser is our friend at night. She has to babysit again this afternoon for a few hours so we’ll see how it goes. The school hasn’t called today so I will assume she’s toughing it out. The next two weeks are busy with various functions. In two weeks my hubby and daughter and his aunt are heading to the Ottawa Valley for his grandmother’s surprise 90th birthday. She’s in failing health so they want to be there for that. I am staying put because our neighbor Ryan is moving up north and the neighbors are throwing him a going away dinner. He’s been an awesome neighbor and friend and seeing as how I suggested the dinner, I should stay put to host the damn thing. LOL I have a feeling March will just fly by…

Well that’s it for me for this week. I have a ton of stuff to do before I pick up my daughter at 5:30 so I better get ‘er done. Have a great week!!~

Random Tuesday!

Posted on 21st February 2012 in Random Tuesday Thought

This will be my shortest Random Tuesday I think….

Today is my 15th wedding anniversary!!! We had both been married before and both had come out of BAD relationships and were NOT looking to get involved with anyone. Both of us were gun shy. Mutual friends set us up on a date and we went more or less to shut Mott up. LOL. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went out again and again. We’ve been together a total of 18 years and after thinking about a wedding, we just said screw it and eloped.Here’s our wedding picture..

There hasn’t been one day that he hasn’t made my heart go pitty-pat and made me laugh until I couldn’t breathe. It’s been a wonderful ride and I am looking forward to spending another 30 years with this man.

Just goes to show you that when it’s “right” it will happen whether you are ready or not…

(told you it would be short) LOL! Link up with Stacy for some more random fun!!
