sick like dog (and tired like cat)
We’re back from Disney as of last night and I am sick. A really, really bad razor blade sore throat with the rest of the yuck that usually goes along with that. The trip was great. But you know I’m sick cause I haven’t even downloaded one picture from my camera yet. Going to bed super early tonight. Doctor for me in the morning. Hoping for some good drugs…I mean medicine to kick this thing. Pictures and trip story to follow soon, promise.

So long, farewell….
Off to Disney in about 11 hours. Still packing. I loathe travelling. Just want to be there NOW, breathing that Disney air. It’s different air- did you know that?
Just hope we don’t die in a firey plane crash this trip either. Wish us luck and no turbulence. See you next week!

a happy day!
Shot a wedding today and had the best time! This was the same bride from the shower a few weeks ago that I ended up staying out til almost 3am. It wasn’t a late night for me tonight but still had so much fun and got some really super shots. Today was my first time meeting the groom and I have to say I just adored him. A great guy and a great couple. I wish you guys only the best of everything!!
I took over 800 pictures today (filled up two flashcards completely!) I have tons of editing in front of me after vacation, but as promised a sneak preview tonight. I know most of these are bride & groom shots-I wanted to get those up first as the newlyweds leave on their honeymoon tommorrow. Lots and lots of other pictures to follow too, so don’t worry…yours will be up here soon.

This & That (sorry, no catchy titles today)
Been a busy few days around here. Just trying to get my act together before the big trip to Disney. So here’s a list (my favorite thing) of some tidbits.
-John officially has a herniated disc in his lower back. He has had a LOT of pain and finally went to the chiropractor, who sent him for an MRI, who referred him to a neurosurgeon, who conferred with a pain management doctor, who decided that he should get an epidural steriod injection. That happened today. So hopefully it will work on shrinking the huge disc a little and make John a little less miserable. Plus he got a prescription of about 100 percoset. So if nothing else, that should keep him happy at Disney.
-I bought some new sneakers for myself (finally) today. I needed better shoes – real walking ones- especially for the Disney trip. Gonna try to keep the tendonitis in check anyway I can. While at the store, I picked up some new VERY BADLY NEEDED sneakers for the big boys. They loved them! That’s a big deal cause lately they haven’t liked anything I’ve picked out. I did buy the wrong size but we went back to the store after school and exchanged them for a size 3. (wow, that’s getting big!) If the boys are making odd faces in the pictures holding their old sneakers, it’s cause on top of being trashed, they stink! Can you believe that the "old ones" are only about 4 months old and they look that bad.
– Timmy had "blue day" today at school. Even had blue cookies for snack. Unfortunately, his teacher informed me that he had a hard day today- pushing and hitting. I was not pleased and he knew it. Well, he’s off school for a week now so I will have to remind him that hands are not for hurting when he goes back again.
-still haven’t packed a stitch for Disney. Doing that Saturday. We leave Sunday morning. Whatever.
-I have two more shoots to do before we leave. One tommorrow (a wedding) and one Saturday morning (a first birthday shoot). I will try to post at least a few favorites from those before I go. Gotta empty the flash card before I leave anyway.
-Lost started again today and that makes me SO HAPPY. Felt like I missed my "friends" from the show for far too long. And to top it off, American History X is on tonight too. (I have a HUGE crush on Edward Norton. HUGE.)

the disney 2007 scrapbook
I promised myself that I would get the Feb 2007 Disney trip scrapbooked before leaving for this year’s February trip-which is happening in 5 days!! And I did it! I really didn’t think it was going to happen, but I somehow managed it. And if I wasn’t excited enough already to go "home to Disney" on Sunday, now I can hardly even wait! Seeing all the fun stuff from last year just makes we want to go RIGHT NOW. And not come back ever. Do you think they’ll let me move into the Cinderella Castle Suite permenently??
For the very, very few of you who don’t know, we won the overnight stay in Cinderella’s Castle Suite last February (it was actually my mother in law who was the winner, but she took us all along for the ride. I always knew I loved her!). Really, the best experience EVER. The whole story is in the scrapbook, but is really long to type out here. You can kinda figure it all out from the pictures. We won coming off the Jungle Cruise at around 10:30am on February 26th, 2007. I love the whole Year of a Million Dreams thing. Maybe we can win again this year….. (well, one can hope, right?)
I took some ideas from Ali Edwards travel journal (one of my favorite scrapbookers- she is so super talented). The book itself and some of the pre-printed pages are from Lisa Bearnson’s Kit of the Month from September. It’s a great little book (didn’t really want to do a full 12×12 album) and the rubons and other embellishments it comes with are so fun. I bought the kit just for the Disney trip but I have so much good stuff left over I can definitely use it for other projects. My favorite thing in scrapbooking lately is making different sized pages in the books- it really looks good and I think it’s just more fun to look thru. I tried to incorporate lots of the "stuff" from the trip in the Disney book- punching holes in it and sticking right into the book makes me happy. So easy and I get the whole not all one size thing accomplished. There are some shots of the details on a few of the pages too. Click on any image to see it larger.
