Ahhhh The Good Life...Indeed!!

Hey there!! Last skating pics. BTW ignore the holes on the tags please. I since covered them up with black brads. Tomorrows layout will be a funny one. Amirs on it as a Dorothy! Hahah. Short post today. I'm tired from working out. 5 days straight! I feel good about this. Vicki and I talked about celebrating once we hit the 21 day mark. They say that you need to do something 21 days straight to make it a habit and only one day to brake it. Again this workout buddy this awesome!! Just knowing that someone else is counting on you helps soooo much!!

Anyway gotta go and get ready for work! CHA Supershow tomorrow. Be sure to follow me on twitter so you can see me twitpic about the show. You can search for my tweet about it under these hashtags #naomicha and #chasupershow.

Mwah,

Today I'm Most Grateful For: TGIF...CHA SUPERSHOW TOMORROW!!!

My New Life Week 1 Day 5:
I slept an hour later than usual. It was tough to wake up this morning but we did it! 5 days now. We cant stop anymore!!

This too shall pass. . . . . I hope it happens soon.

Hey!! Sorry for the no blogging day yesterday. I just wasn't up for doing anything. All I could think about was sleep. It was a pretty emotional day yesterday. As some of you may have read on my tweet. BTW thank you to those that wished me well. Everything is somewhat ok.

It's pretty scary and crazy out there. All we have right now is HOPE. Hope for the best in everything. The economy hit close to home yesterday at work. Half of our office will be losing their jobs soon. I was one of the "lucky" ones to not get affected. I can't believe I feel this way and it didn't even happen to me. I can't imagine what my co-workers are feeling right now. All I know is that I'm in a state of shock and I don't want to see anyone go. I feel so helpless and I hate not being able to do anything or help anyone. I wish I could do something but I can't. It's just the way it is right now. I'm so angry, sad and in shock. I can't believe I can't do anything. It's really tough out there. I just HOPE we all can recover from this. I know that with everything "this too shall pass." But I HOPE that it passes soon.

I made the layout above last week without knowing any of this was going to happen. Everyday I know that I'm blessed I know how lucky I'm and I never take that for granted. I love the company I work for, the people I work with, my research team and I have a pretty awesome boss. I'm pretty lucky and I'm thankful for that everyday.

Anyway thanks for looking and if you read this...thank you and for all of your support. Kindly have all those that are going through a tough time right now in your thoughts.

Never leave home without your Gnome

Hey there? How did you guys spend your weekend? Yesterday I got to spend some time with some of my dear friends. Kathy, Terry and I played around with some chipboard, Wendy Vecchi, Tim Holtz and I busted out my Unity Stamps. You can check out a picture of what I made here.....but i'll post it soon. Pretty relaxing. Then today I cleaned, watched some movies and slept. Ahhh another relaxing day.

BTW I have a new show that I love. Drop Dead Diva. Funny and really good!!! Even Amir is watching Lifetime now...he likes it too. Another fact about me....I LOVE TV. Before scrapbooking my hobbies were cooking and watching TV. Is that even a hobby? Again...that's why I fit my job perfectly. Now if only they let us crop on casual fridays.......

Layouts and pics above and below are of my fellow Research buds. We went to Nashville last April and we hung out at a bar and had some Lindsey Lohan drinks. I don't drink much but I had to have this after I found out what was in it (red headed slut with a splash of coke) hahah hopefully I haven't offended anyone. The Gnome below belongs to my friend Gina....she never leaves home without him and takes pics of their adventure together. Sooo cute!!!

Hope you all had a good weekend. Back to reality tomorrow!!!

Mwah,

Today I'm Most Grateful For: both Cece and Goofy can now play together!!!

My Paula Dean Experience and a Poll on Embellishments

I love the food network and I love Paula Dean.... one stick of butter, a pound of velveeta cheese and all!!! Haha!!

So no I didn't get to meet Paula Dean. Not yet. I'm hoping that working for a cable company will come with some perks like...meeting my food idol. Anyway, I did get to spend some amazing cooking time with a wonderful women who is just like her, talked like her and cooked liked her. Lots and lots of butter. Don't forget the chicken fat too. OMG! But let me tell yah honey...southern cooking is amazing!!!!! I really think that I was a southerner in my past life. There's something about the cooking that makes me feel right at home.

So that's Parrish up there. I loved that picture of us. I helped with her baby shower. I was part of the food committee. I was happy to help and I helped her momma Gail prep and cook food till the weeeee hours of the morning. Boy I was tired but I had so much fun. I wish I had a picture with her mom. But I never did get to take one with her. The bottom page is a pic of the entire party committee. I was planning on placing a big brad over the face of the girl on the far right. I know I'm mean but I didn't really care for her. Hahah! hey its my page. Love Jen and love Parrish!!!

So question???? You always hear that a mistake is an embellishment opportunity. Have you guys ever scrapped a page and someone you didn't care for found there way into the pic anyway..... what did you do? Leave it or embellishment opportunity????

I'll take a poll. Your answers will dictate what I do with her.....

Heheh!

Mwah,

Today I'm Most Grateful For: For movies that help me...not think for 2 hours. It's truly therapeutic. Also for amir... letting me talk and talk and talk some more and still think that i'm not crazy...even when I think I'am!!!
