Furbaby Pics are up!

Head over to Life with 4 Purrs to see my "babies" when they were, well, babies. Orange furry adorableness awaits!

Some Oldies

For some reason, for the last week or 2 I've been using my old desktop. Perhaps it is the nicer keyboard and mouse? Or more probably it is the fact that the connection speed is much faster down here. I was reluctant to "work" on it for the last year because it is located in our basement, where we have boxes of old stuff that we haven't parted with, yet. Well we cleaned the basement a little and so my old trusty friend was more accessible and also more appealing. Well, as usually happens when I switch computers, I found some fun "old" pics. Let's reminisce, shall we?

My first apartment in Ruston, Louisiana. They tore them down last year to make more room for the university apartments...or maybe parking. Either way, its no longer there! Sadly, this place was decorated nicer than I feel my house is.

My awesome cake I made in a Wilton class in 2007. No. I haven't made one since. But I'm feeling inspired after seeing this. I took this class so I could do kids cakes...you know, when I get around to actually having kids.
From college, when Oscar was not quite a year old. Napping on my face was apparently the most comfortable place in the apartment. LOL! I don't look bothered by it, but then again I was probably crashing from an all-nighter!

I found several cute pics of the cats too and plan to share them later this week or early next. You don't want to miss the adorable-ness, trust me!

Jillian Michaels Just Kicked My Butt!

This past week has been bad for me. I have sat on my behind and eaten junk the whole time. So today I needed a change, so I hit the On Demand button and found Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. Oh. My. Goodness! My arms are jiggly like jell-o. My legs barely made it down the stairs. I may need a lift to get back up them. But it is awesome. And I am doing it again tomorrow! I found the 2 weeks to a new you tab too. If I can stick with this for a mere 2 weeks, I know I will see results. I need a boost to get back in the groove. I haven't posted a weigh in lately since I've been losing and gaining the same 2 pounds over and over. So Jillian Michaels and FitTV are going to kick me back in gear. Wooo!
Don't have Comcast On Demand? You can shred too!

CTMH Constant Campaign

I don't usually blog a lot about the deals that Close to My Heart is doing, but I could NOT pass up sharing this one. We are celebrating National Stamping Month! I just LOVE it when we get free stuff just for buying stamps that we love. YAY! For spending $60 on My Acrylix stamp sets, you get a FREE card kit to make the cards shown above (suns August 18-September 30). Oh yes, you get EVERYTHING you need. How sweet is that!?! Or if you just have to have it you can purchase it for $39.95 in September. (But seriously, isn't it better to get it free?) Or you can host a gathering and when your sales reach $400, you get it free!
Let me tell you what's in this kit:
1 - My Acrylix Everyday Celebration stamp set (EXCLUSIVE, can't buy it in the catalog!)
16 - standard sized greeting cards and envelopes
Plus, everything you need to complete 16 gorgeous cards, including instructions, (so you can create them over and over with different colors!) papers, AND two colors of distressing inks. Did I mention you get ribbon AND Mini-Medley accents as well to further beautify and embellish? Well, you do! I am so psyched about this deal! If you want more info, leave a comment (with email) and I'll get back to you to answer any questions. Thanks for reading and remember the "Delight in the Everyday"!
