Out of the closet...

I'm out. I actually told people I had a blog. Which means, people (you know who you are!) might actually read it, so I'm going to have to make some changes. Add some pictures. Perhaps call my children by their real names instead of "2", "4", or "7". Even let my family know that I have a blog. AUGH! The pressure!

So last night, I went scrapbooking. We have a group of around six that meet together and every month we go to a different house and scrapbook. (Well, to be perfectly honest, they scrapbook and I pretend I might but really do other things like crochet or crosstitch. In fact, the last two months I completely gave up my pretense for possibly scrapbooking and just admitted that I'm not a scrapbooking person. I love the idea of it--and if it would just magically happen by those mysterious little elves that fix shoes and hide gold then I'd be a happy camper. Unfortunately, those mysterious little elves don't live near my house so I'm on my own. I have wondered about going digital....hmmmmm maybe next time.)

Ok, I completely went off on a tangent, but those of you who know me know that is a common side effect to my conversations. Back to original thought last night: scrapbooking group. HILARIOUS. You ladies know who you are and can I just publicly, on my blog, in front of the millions of people who may never read this, say that group is my monthly lifesaver? I laugh, I cry (only from laughing so hard), I actually get something done (usually), and we eat treats. What could possibly be better than that?? Ahh...out of the closet and into the scrapbook. :)

Hooray for your blog! I laughed out loud and Ryan rolled his eyes at me as he usually does whilst I'm blogging. Long live scrapbook night! P.S. I'm putting you on my blog list, so you are now officially part of the blogging world.

Hi Jen, I'm glad you saw my blog on Penny's because I tried to look yours up on Sat. and I was way off. Well, I guess not too far, I did have the kidlings part right but left out your last name therefore it kept telling me "this blog does not exist"--lame!! Anywho, I'll hook you to my list! Yippy, more blogging buddies!!!

Yeah, happy you are blogging too. I am so anxious to see some pics of your cute kids (no pressure). On the scapbooking thing, I feel the same way you do, but I just made a digital scrapbook for Jolee's first year on Shutterfly.com and it is awesome!! The prices are actually a little cheaper than buying all the supplies at the store too. You should take a look. Hugs

Hey! It was nice to see you yesterday :) I still laugh when I think of Megan staring at Wally without blinking for over a minute straight.

I finally found you on Penny's blog. I'll add you to my list also. I'm totally digital, but the scrapbook night is simply a fun night with the girls. I love it!

Usually Jen, people with blogs keep them updated! -- but that's just usually, not all the time! :)

P.S. I saw your Dad in Wal*Mart the other day, so good to see him!
