not only new week, new month too!

well, here it is April 2nd already and its been too long since i wrote, sorry! i dont know what made me think i could keep up a blog, i am becoming the Queen of procrastinating :)... never use to be. i would always be the kind to keep my plate clean sort of speak. if something came up, it got handled right off so i didnt have things pile up on me, but lately.... just so much to do...sigh. oh well, i AM a libra, ALWAYS trying to keep things balanced and not work too hard or be too lazy... silly.
The pets and plants have sure been keeping me busy. Coco is just a little ball of fire and Charly ONLY wants his daddy! he got WAYY too use to him while daddy was home during that little lay off! and i have been transplanting a lot of my indoor plants, we havent even gotten to the outdoor planting yet. DH loves planting in and outdoors as much as i do! its wonderful to have him to enjoy it with.
and then i am always trying to do so many challenges but am running out of pictures lol
only so many ways i can scrap the same cat or dog LOL oh well, i still enjoy it!
oh AND, i should be able to get a new computer within the month!!! yay!!! thankfully my SSI is finally coming through!its only for a closed period but will help INCREDIBLY!
i think we will be able to go back to Chicago and get our stuff out of storage finally and maybe have enough to get a newer car!!! we NEED to do so much DESPERATELY! our poor car is a '93 4-cylinder and these sandy dirt roads are rough on her... the storage, we have been paying on now for 3 years, its time!!! and my own computer is a necessity! DH wants to start selling on ebay and three on one computer is really rough! DS has been soo understanding about it, thankfully :)AND once we get the stuff out of storage i will have all our PHOTOS!!!! YAYYY!!!
just as we moved is when i started paper scrapping and of course could only bring some rubber stamps, ink pads, scissors, you know all the supplies lol but no one grabbed the tote of pix!!! insane! lol oh well, the digital camera our son gave us one year (long ago) really came in handy out here with scrapping in the digital world.... but now we even need a new camera too!lol oh its ALWAYS something, isnt it?
But DH has been called back to work this past tuesday and things are again looking up!! we should be able to get back into the swing of things soon. :)
oh well,i think i have rambled on enough for now, i am working on a little something for you, for Easter and if you dont celebrate that, then accept it as a spring freebie :)...it should be ready for sharing tomorrow, if i dont get TOO side-tracked!
have a GREAT day!!
