The Countdown has begun

We'll I've been absolutely buried with projects this week. I've been working on the sb album that this fella (JOE) has hired me to do for his wife as a secret. Additionally, I've been sewing a pair of camo pants for youngest son. Hubby is taking him camping overnight and they're going squirrel hunting. The pants were finished last night .... sooooo many pockets....... so many broken needles! Sooooo glad that mess is done, but now I have to make the shirt. Oh well atleast I have a little more time to get that done. They're heading out tonight to get an early start in the morning and by golly I'm gonna stay home and scrap my butt off! I've been so missing the papercuts. LOL! So hopefully, I can get some new creations up.

Oh and I've tried my hand at digi. That's a first for me! The first one I did I used a template ... kinda just rearrange the elements and drop the pictures in, but my second one was an absolute freehand creation.

THIS IS MY FIRST ONE.....

THIS IS MY SECOND ONE.....

So that's my update for what it's worth!

Hope everyone has a wickedly wonderful weekend!

Scrappy

Oh NO he didn't!

No he didn't remember our 9 year anniversary!

Not a word, no a card, not nothing about our anniversary!

I didn't expect anything except for it to be remembered!

I would have even been estatic about a card.

Ok, he did say something about it,

but it was 11:30 at night and what he said was...

"I'd tell you happy anniversary, but I'm too tired."

I just don't really think that counts!

This just chaps my ass!

It just makes me feel unappreciated for all the crap

that I put up with all of the other days.

oh and the poll results ........

66% said yes he'd remember

23% said he wouldn't remember
Thanks for casting your votes ...

keeping up with ya'll is what made it fun for me!

Thanks for letting me rant!

Will He or Wont' He?

I sit here and wonder as my wedding anniversary nears, will he remember or wont he? It doesn’t really matter one way or the other if I get a gift, although I know I won’t. The one time he bought me a gift on our anniversary (back around the 1st or 2nd year), it was really because he had been such an ass towards me. He bought me a 20 gallon fish tank. Again, it’s not about the present, but about whether he REMEMBERS. I’ve even had to break it down for him and say mean stuff like, “wow … I knew it was an omen that our anniversary should fall right after a tragedy like 9/11”. This isn’t one of those milestone anniversaries; it’s number 9. Will he behave himself or will he have another ‘angry’ day. Just for giggles, I’m going to open a poll to see what you think. WILL HE OR WON’T HE? Take a moment to cast your vote (poll is just above my mugshot).

Man vs. Dog

Man vs. Dog

PROBLEM: My husband is counting they days to force me to get rid of my son's dog!!!!!

Firstly let me set the stage .....
December 2000 I bought a AKC Doberman for Christmas for my son. My husband was insistant upon the breed and MY money funded the purchase .... which wasn't cheap.

We've been through a lot with this dog, whom we named Roxy. We even went through a severe SUV Rollover (8 or 9 rolls on the interstate @ appx 70 mph). After the wreck she got out of the vehichle. I was life-flighted to the best hospital near me and my boys and husband whose injuries weren't as life threatening as mine went to another. ROXY was gone! A passer by stopped and looked for her, but couldn't find her. Two days later the kind man stopped again on his way back home from his business trip and FOUND HER! He then drove her back towards us and tried to find a vet in the area which would take her since she was also injured. He drove in the opposite direction of his destination by ONE HOUR! A true samaratian!!!! He found a vet that would accept her and they cleaned her wounds. Unknowingly, they tracked us down by calling all the hospitals in the area. They had found us after four days! We had FOUR DAYS of asking ourselves how are we going to tell my son that his dog is gone and worse ... probably dead. When we got the call that she was safe I had unleased hours of tears of relief. Two days later we went to see her at the vet's office and 'approved' a surgery she needed to repair her wounds from the wreck. SHE IS VERY DEAR TO ME!

Several years have passed now and she has developed some kind of allergy that causes her to have a odor problem. After 24-48 hrs the odor comes back. I have taken her to the vet and they have her on steriods now which seems to slow the problem.

My husband has developed a 'hack' which I am associating with SMOKERS HACK and a residual cough from a bad cold! It was brought on by his YEARS of smoking. The hack has make him ultra sensitive to other smells, namely our dog. So this brings me to my problem.........

MAN VS DOG!

What should I do?
