A Whole Lot of Scrappin'

There’s been a whole lot of scrappin’ going on around these parts.  First, the most of the obvious scrappin’ ... scrapbooking!!  I got to spend all day Sunday scrappin’ at Bryn’s house.  We watched New In Town and then watched all of season four of Friends!!

I was still working on my Washinton D.C. photos.  I made way more progress than i expected to.  I managed to get 13 pages done.  I still have a lot of the Washinton D.C. trip to go but I’m much further along now than I was a few days ago!!  Two of my favorite pages...

In addition to creating pages, I’ve also managed to add to my Cricut cartridge options.  I’ve been using the wonder of Ebay to track down cheap cartridges.  I’ve gotten four new ones for the half the price of a new one in the store.  But I’m cutting myself off.  No more Ebay for a while.  2nd mortgage, 2nd mortgage, 2nd mortgage...

Anywho, I also scrapped my Colorado Run 5k plans.  (He he, scrapped...get it?  Oh, I crack myself up somedays).  I decided I’d much rather spend the evening scrappin’ with the girls than driving back home late to wake up early and run in the 5k, which I hadn’t even registered for.  So, I saved myself $40 and ran my own Labor Day 5k when I got home.  It was quite a bit warmer than we are both used to so it wasn’t a super enjoyable run.

In totally other news, because Amtrak scrapped our train trip for this upcoming Saturday, Brent and I have been figuring out our Plan B.  Step One - track down the son of monkey’s uncle who parked his train near the tracks in Nebraska and caused the California Zephyr line to derail.  Bastard!  Step Two - we’re road trippin’ it to Chicago and then Ohio.

Plan B may not be so bad after all.  We’ll get a little bit more time in Chicago and save money on the trip overall.  I scrapped the plane tickets this afternoon.  Frontier has a non-refundable policy so we have Frontier credit for a future flight.  It’s a good thing I don’t plan on squashing the traveling bug any time soon!

I have a few errands to get done before we leave on our trip and, of course, last minute packing to do!  Like always, I won’t be able to blog from the road.  Maybe someday I’ll have a Mac laptop so I can carry iWeb around with me.  I think this vacation may have  a bit slower of a pace so I can actually write as I go and just upload when we return.

As I type this blog, I’m waiting for Brent to get home.  We’re going out to dinner...something that hasn’t happened in forever!!  I’ve been dressed and waiting for a few hours.  I’m sure I’ll wait a few more.  Ho hum.  No better way to kill time than blogging!

Happy Labor Day, all!
