Mondays are mundane

2004-08-30T21:19:00.000-04:00

I worked my little tail off at work today. Everyone seemed to want everything yesterday.

I got this link to a really weird clock in my email today. Interesting.

My dad is having to stay in the hospital for a couple of days because he had an episode with his vision. He's still a little dizzy. They did some tests, and some came back negative (thank God) but they haven't got the results back for all of them yet. I hope he will be okay. I am a Daddy's little girl for sure - I always have been.

Mondays wipe me out. It's like the weekend never even happened.

Just had to show off these ATCs (artist trading cards) that I made this evening with scrapbook paper and cross-stitch thread:

Can you tell how bored I am this weekend? Here's a sample of my bizarre scribbling:

I made these for a project. I think they're hilarious!

Mmm...a low carb breakfast

Yeah, I'm on a low carb diet now. I know it works, because I lost 16 pounds once. Now that I need to lose about 36 pounds, I'm trying it again. Wish me luck, 'cause I'm going to need it. Trees have more willpower than I do.

Since I'm bored this morning (bored = avoiding housework), I thought I'd make myself a grand low carb breakfast. I had 2 fried eggs (but only ate about 1.2), 4 pieces of bacon (but only ate about 3), a green onion, and 4 slices of pepper jack cheese. And I took a picture of it for you to see:

"Pull the lever and you'll be a believer!"

I can't believe stuff like this even exists. But I'm sure some people will buy it.

Sorry, but I can think of much better things to do with $12.95 (plus shipping & handling).

I'm very pleased to unveil my brand new blog, Azaleas and Vidalias, for your current and future reading pleasure. I have worked quite hard on this layout (but those of you who know me know that it will likely change sooner than later!). I truly hope that you will enjoy your stay here, and enough to visit often. Although this is, in essence, "just a blog," it means a lot to me that I am able to share my personal stories, ideas, and interesting tidbits with you.
