Day 11 of 365


Not the best picture, since the light was behind him, hard to see the bed real good. Robert did such a good job with it though! I need to recover his old dogbed now (the fabric is just tucked in there for now). NOW . . . if we can just get him to actually USE it! haha

Day 10 of 365

Robert's building a dog bed for Chili. Early this morning, I thought I was going to have to take Robert to the ER. He was having some kind of a back spasm, and it was KILLING him. It's better now, but this led to the fact that SOMEHOW, we HAVE to get Chili to not sleep with US! Robert is using the same style, stain and paint as the bedroom furniture he's almost finished with.

Day 9 of 365

I feel like this is about the only thing I accomplished this morning! Only made it 3 hours at work, and then left sick. Just woke up from my afternoon nap. This sinus attack first started as just a HUGE headache, then started draining making my throat sore, and now it's in my head! Can't breath, can't think, I think it's kinda making me dizzy or something too because my ears are clogged up. Also on antibiotics, so that's causing stomach problems as well. I'm SO tired of this!

Day 8 of 365

I'm totally cheating on this picture (I didn't take it). I've been sick, and have only cared about sleeping and being able to BREATH! But, yesterday, Robert did take me to dinner and I got THESE at IHOP! DAMN, they were GOOD too. Only got 3, and Robert had to finish them for me, since that's not ALL I got! LOL They are called "Butterscotch Rocks Pancakes" . . and they did ROCK!

Day 7 of 365

I am so SICK of being sick! This is my pill case that has to be able to fit in any purse I now buy . . . starting on the left: top 1 is allergy stuff, bottom one is advil and migraine stuff, 2nd one is omega and CLA, 3rd one is slimquick (diet ones), 4th one is multi vitamins and C, 5th one is . . . heck, I don't know what they are called?? Digestive stuff! LOL 6th top is gas-x and more digestive stuff, and 6th bottom is water pills and emergency xanax! LOL Lately, the left side is being TOTALLY depleted! That's why I took this, because I was refilling the Tylenol SEVERE allergy/sinus pills. What a joy this time of year is!

Day 6 of 365

The geek in me LOVES this picture! My organized binders for the 2006 tax return above. The calendar and my "Chili" candy container by my inbox. My Guitar Hero poster (I do work for Gamestop!). My coffee mug, my open binders with last years international schedules, my monitor showing CorpTax open, and my cell phone in front of my monitor. As much as I complain, I sometimes actually LIKE my job . . and I'm DAMN good at it too!

Day 5 of 365

This is the tree in my front yard. It's not snow . . . but almost as pretty! Atleast it didn't effect my commute to or from work today, and shouldn't tomorrow either as it should be above freezing in the morning.

Day 4 of 365


Hey, not every picture is gonna be a work of art! Of course, Taco Bell might disagree with me on my definition of "art". LOL After about 4 days of SEVERE sinus pressure, this hit the spot, AND was about the only thing I was in the mood to photograph.

Week 1 Layout


This is my VERY first digital layout. I'm sure I might do more tweaking to it, but had to "put it down" for a bit. I don't have much clue what I'm doing, so it's still a learning process for me.

A HUGE thanks to http://www.moriginalsblog.com/ for the template. I would have been LOST without it (truth be told, I was still kinda lost, but not HER fault! hehe). Font is http://www.dafont.com/grenouille.font. Swirl is from http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/digitalKits_free_200612.asp. Wood paper is from http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/10000072 and blue paper is from http://www.shabbyprincess.com/downloads/SpontaneousDelight/SpontaneousDelight.asp. Just added stitching to the photos from http://www.shabbyprincess.com/Splendid.asp.

Since this IS my first layout, I'd LOVE some tips on how to make it better!! Any advice?

Day 3 of 365


Put up all the Christmas stuff yesterday, and I was glad to see it go! This picture was the "collection center" on the dining room table before it got boxed up and stored. Looks so "clean" and "uncluttered" now! The Christmas tree was dry as a bone.

Day 2 of 365

Took this picture this morning before these guys woke up! LOL Went and saw "Marley and Me" today, so figured this was appropriate for today. Chili can be a pain in the ASS . . . claws in my back, not letting me sleep, hogging the bed, waking us up earlier than we want . . . but he is a WAYYYY better dog than Marley was! Even though he is sooooo "Daddy's dog" . . . I love him bunches!

Day 1 of 365


Didn't have any champagne last night, Robert and I both crashed early because Chili kept us up all night the night before. So, here's my glass of wine to help make the sinus headache I have subside. Also shows how pretty the new finish is on my bedroom furniture that Robert is re-doing for me for Christmas, and my new bedding colors. This is basically how I'm spending the WHOLE weekend! Wine on the nightstand!! hehe ;-)

WOW!! Totally forgot I had this blog . . .

until my boyfriend found it by googling my name!! haha

Soooooo . . . since I haven't scrapbooked OR blogged since my divorce (November 2006) . . . over 2 YEARS!! geeezzz . . . I figured I'd try this whole "project 365" idea that Becky Higgins is pushing. I'm gonna "try" to scrapbook it, but maybe I'll just ATLEAST try to take a picture everyday, and post them here and talk about it. Atleast it's a start, and it'll be interesting to see how far I can make it.

I bought Photoshop Elements 7 yesterday and a huge book explaining how to use it, so I'm thinking I'm gonna go sorta digital to get me back into scrapbooking. After 7 years of scrapbooking my marriage, and then wanting to BURN those layouts after the divorce (I didn't, but I did take out most of the layouts about us or him, and give them back to him . . .or atleast I think I did? wonder if they are still in the garage??) . . . I was left thinking what the HELL do I need to scrapbook for?? I don't have kids, and won't . . . who will give a shit about my scrapbooks. BUT . . .I do want to finish all my heritage stuff, and I wouldn't mind improving my photography skills, and keeping a sorta journal about MY life (well . . . and Robert's . . . since he's kinda part of my life! hehe)

THEN . . . I spent most of the afternoon cleaning out my hobby room (used to be my scrapbook room, but now it's also the room I make jewelry, or Robert plays guitar). Have a LOT of stuff to give to my neice this weekend, but I still have a LOT more stuff to go thru tomorrow.

So, anyway, I'm BACK!! "Project Yvette 365" is the plan. I'll go download the picture I took a little bit ago, and post it in a sec . . .

P.S. - there is no way in HELL I expect to post pictures EVERYDAY, but I do plan on TAKING them everyday. Soooo, I'll post them all at once when I can. See ya then . . .

Long time, No blog!

Well, I guess I'm bored enough to make another entry. Realized that most of the stuff on here is too personal to tell anyone I know about it, and so I realized . . . why even post??

ANYWAY . . . I start my new job tomorrow! I'm really excited about it. Even though my closet is bigger than my new cube will be, oh well. I hope I can sleep tonight. Didn't get to sleep until about 3am this morning. Took a Vicodin and 2 tylenol PM's and STILL couldn't sleep. Took a bath, and STILL couldn't sleep. Don't know what my problem was. Slept till 10:30 this morning, and I'm NOT taking a nap!! NO way!
