Just Rambling

I had something I wanted to talk about today. I did...I swear. Of course, now I can't remember it. I'd even started to write the brilliant post in my head. It was going to start out like this:

I know you are expecting me to write about Matsuzaka's debut at Fenway today. After all, that's what every journalist, amateur sportswriter, and blogger in Boston, Seattle, Japan, and probably many places in between are doing today. Well, not me. Instead I want to talk about...

It's the ... that I can't remember now. I could go back to talking about Matsuzaka, but I'm still too upset. Maybe someday, but not today. All I have to say is, Thank you Drew!! I'm sure a lot of Sox fans, including me, are warming up to you and your ridiculous contract now that you're on a hitting streak and managed to save us the embarrassment of being on the losing end of a no hitter. Maybe we underestimated you.

Enough rambling, I have hope that my original topic will come back to me and I'll actually have something intelligent to say next time. Have a good night. :)

Art Journal Cards

I've started working on my art journal cards from this blog. I love the concept! I'm behind, but I'm sure I'll catch up soon. It's fun to sit down, do some stash raiding, and create something small. These are the front and back of my first three cards:


The theme for the top left one is "Note to Self". My note was about accepting that I'll never be able to finish everything on my weekly to-do list, so I should do the most important things first and then let everything else fall into place. Definitely something I need to work on! I got the ribbon, flower, and SEI brads from a swap. I love how they coordinate. I'm sure there's a spring layout in their future (if spring ever comes, but that is another blog post). The theme of the top right card is "Inspiration". I'm inspired by pretty and new products, like these awesome ribbons a friend gave me. You'll notice the bottom card has a lot of journaling. That's because it is about what I miss, in this case, my aunt's family. I have to go do one of those important things on my to-do list, but I'll post more cards soon.

Home Opener

Today is a wonderful day- it is the Fenway home opener. Now I feel that baseball has officially started.

GO SOX!!

Organizing and Happy Easter

Yesterday I bought a rolly scrapbook cart with my 40% off coupon from Joann's. That inspired me to start organizing my scrap stuff today. I honestly had no idea how much I had. Or for that matter, where I used to put it all. I have to buy some more organizers just to get everything put away. So right now my room is an absolute mess. Oh yeah, and my cell phone somehow ended up in the trash bag. Oops! Good thing my aunt called me and I had to go looking for it. I think this might prevent me from scrapping for a week or so, but I'll feel so much better after everything is organized. I hate being disorganized!

On an unrelated topic, Happy Easter everyone! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family/friends/whoever. Today I decorated eggs with two of my roommates. Tomorrow I'm getting up early (yick! I hate setting alarms on Sundays) to go to Church, then my mother, brother, and I are going to my aunt's house for supper.

Make sure you eat lots of chocolate :)

Computer Problems

I have so much that I want to do this week, plus some things I'd like to share, but my computer isn't cooperating. Long story short, it can't be plugged in, and my battery life is about an hour. Not enough time when I get home to read blogs, check in on message boards, do a little research for a circle journal, plus everything else I want to do. Hopefully my computer will be fixed this weekend. In the meantime, I am enjoying reading, not to mention baseball has started :)
