A little bedtime snack!

Before I head off to bed, I thought I'd give you a little update and some eye candy! Actually, not much has been going on around here. Friday night Dan's family came to visit us and we ordered in pizza while watching a movie. Dan and his little brothers also played some video games, of course :). This weekend was pretty lazy and full of scrapping, though we did go to see my brother in his high school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I tried to take as many pictures as possible since it was in a dark setting where I couldn't use a flash, and I had to zoom while the characters were constantly moving. I did get some good ones out of the bunch though, some that weren't very blurry. I'm sure you'll see a layout with them soon enough...or maybe posted on my blog/photosite this week once I sort through them and get the pictures that Dan took and sort through those too.

In other news, I did get one class of exams graded tonight while Dan and I watched some TV, but there are still two more classes to go. Grading 60 exams is a task I tell you, especially those darn essays! Also today, because I must be the good little Fairy Chick that I am... Holly put up the most darling 'dream' words in her shoppe today and she plans on making more! They're only $1.50 and they come with shadows and without. They almost remind me of those little magnet words, but they're paper! They're too cute!



Finally...some eye candy for you all to check out. Like I said, this weekend consisted of a bunch of scrapping. I was able to do THREE layouts in one weekend, that's like a world record for me! So without further interruption... *ahem* ...I give you the layout that I did for TDC's challenge last week - challenge prompt was about weddings, as well as a layout about Thanksgiving this past year, and a layout about my friend Sheri's recent birthday party.

I think that's it for tonight. Tomorrow's day off #1 of this week, so I get to sleep in, relax, and try to work on my paper! Goodnight!

AND...I can breathe!

Haaaaaaallelujah! My comp exams are over! I had one Tuesday and one today...Interpersonal and research methods. I'm so glad they're over now, a HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders. I couldn't even tell you what I wrote for those essays, they were crazy, but today's was a lot better than Tuesday's. I had an idea of what the question would be today, and I knew a majority of the answer. The rest...was BS, lol. Now I can get back to my Sunday scrapping days and have some more time. Next thing due is the literature review for my paper, but I don't feel much stress about that.

Now my to-do list is quite short...

• Dan's parents coming to visit tomorrow
• Finish Michelle's challenge for TDC by Saturday
• Go to Rob's play Saturday night
• Lit review due next week

What else...Valentine's Day! I almost forgot, lol. I told Dan not to buy me anything since I really don't have any money and he's trying to save, but leave it to him to buy something and have an idea ahead of time! What a sweetie, Tuesday morning he made plans to go into work late and make me breakfast. Not only did I get to sleep in with him for a little bit, I got pancakes, biscuits, and cappuccino while I was doing some final studying. Later when I got home from my exam and he got home from work, he gave me a package that he ordered with the cutest purple and teal pajamas from Pajama Gram! I really want to take a picture of them, and I know a kit of Holly's that would match perfectly for a layout! I'm such a nerd...but that man sure knows me and my love for purple, comfy pajamas, and a layout opportunity, hehe. He's amazing!

Wednesday, I really wanted to do something for him since he was so great on Tuesday dealing with my stress. So...I went to the store after class and got some stuff to throw together for dinner, and I picked up a dessert to bake too. I'm sure this doesn't sound like anything spectacular, but Dan's the cook of the house and fixes every dinner! I'd have to say that my dinner and dessert were pretty darn good, though. I made some pork chops with au gratin potatoes and peas, and a warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. MMMmmmm!

Other than that, all I've been doing is studying lately. Dan and I are catching up on some shows tonight...Idol, Lost, Survivor, and a few others. Bachelor the other night was good too, I think Travis made the right choice in booting who he did! She was way fake this far into the show. I really liked her in the beginning, but on their getaway date she was still *trying* too hard to be nice and pretty, never herself. I like the two remaining girls, but I do have a favorite ;).

Before I go, you should check out the latest ATC card swap that Holly had. I completed one for it, and I'm really impressed by all the creative entries! Here's mine...

Goodnight!

Our next exhibit...

Here's a little something for your viewing pleasure. It took up way more of my time than I wanted it to...what layout of mine doesn't, lol...but I think I'm happy with the result.

Journaling: Robby, you sure are a character! It's been such an adventure watching you grow up, from the baby brother I used to hold and kiss, into your own person. It has been hard to see you down-hearted or in tough situations that I couldn't help you with, but you always seemed to pull yourself through better than before. I guess that's what life is all about, right? You have such a personality that shows through your musical and acting talents, your style, and your jokes! I couldn't have asked for a "little brother" as laid back, true to himself, level-headed (most of the time), and as fun as you! You are one-of-a-kind, and I hope it takes you where you want to go!

I can't believe tomorrow is Monday already! EEeek! Goodnight!
