Late Night Post

Just a quick post tonight. I'm just winding down and must get to bed soon. Have two extra cleaning jobs to do tomorrow and have to meet my coordinator at 9AM sharp to get started. I taught a stamp class tonight on cards and I'm teaching the same one tomrrow night at another location. Plus I had French class today and we had a test. Another test on Wednesday. Yuck! But I only have just over a month to go and then I will be done! Life had just been crazy lately. I'm so tired and we've had some major stress lately, but things seem to be getting better. Thank goodness! I've got some extra jobs this week too, some consulting things, so I'll be keeping myself busy with all that and my regular job and school. Saturday is my niece's birthday party and we're hosting it here at our building in the party room. Belle will be 4! Time sure flies. She is so excited about her birthday and party. I need to get out and get her one more present - A Littlest Pet Shop animals set. She just adores the Littlest Pet Shop stuff!

I so need to have some creative time! I just haven't had the time or energy lately. I'm hoping I will have some time Friday night or Sunday to do some scrapping and who knows what other creative projects. I hope to get some of my work posted here soon.

I'll close this tonight with a fun website to check out! http://www.planetsark.com/ I love love love her stuff! She has some wonderful books and have just about all of them! Her website is packed with fun stuff and be sure to sign up for her newsletter!

Scrapbook Quiz: My Results

You are STICKERS!

personal style. You are versatile and able to
get things done with a stick-to-it attitude.

Stickers beware - sometimes you like to stick
to someone that you like a little too much
and take them into your confidence a little
too easily. Your personality tends to make
you a steadfast friend, but make sure the
friends you choose are worth your efforts!

Crazy Weekends

Well, things have been very hectic and crazy in my life the past few weeks. I've just felt so crazed, like I was constantly on the run but could never catch up. I've felt very out of whack and off balance lately in my life. So, I was hoping that this weekend would be nice and quiet and relaxing. And that my boyfriend and I could spend some quiet time at home for a change without having ten million things to do. But things haven't gone according to plan, as has been my life lately.

We ended up hanging out with friends and having friends stay with us for the weekend, including kids. We've gone swimming two days in a row as a big group in our apartment building's indoor pool. This afternoon we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate one of the kids' birthdays that was just a few days ago. And let me tell you the place was a madhouse! I don't think I would want to set foot in there again on a Saturday! It was nuts! Their salad bar was pretty good though. Last night Mark and I got carry out from Famous Dave's for dinner and did get to eat dinner together just the two of us. Then everyone came over and we've had a crowd with us ever since. Throw in a quick trip to Target in the middle of the day, coming from one activity and going to another, and a late dinner stop at Subway, and we had pretty much a whirlwind day. I was so tired, but now I'm feeling a little hyper, so I decided to check email and blog. Mark is watching some TV or a movie or something with some friends and the kids are all sound asleep. I'm sure tomorrow will be another active day for all of us. And I have a lot of homework to do for French Class for Monday too! UGH! It never ends! But, I will say that it has been a fun weekend. Sometimes it is nice to see friends and play with kids and not have to worry about To Do Lists and dishes all the time.

Here it is, my first post! I'll try to post as often as I can. My life has been absolutely crazy lately, so sometimes I won't be able to post as often as I would like to. But at the same time, taking the time to blog here will help me take a few moments for me, let me clear my head and express myself. In my posts here you will probably find a little bit of everything. Bits and pieces from my life. A glimpse into my world. I'm excited to have a place of my own online to write and record my life and thoughts.

The name: I have always loved princesses and castles and crowns and such. I absolutely adore Disney princess stuff. Disney's Cinderella movie is my favorite. And now that I have finally found my prince I thought the name was fitting. He always calls me his princess, Princess Alli. It's a special name to me and I thought it was just right for my blog.
