Winding down for a minute...

Its been so crazy that I have actually had this LO sitting on my desktop for two weeks so it will be nice to finally get it posted. Trying to juggle the working/playing thing now in my life.  I am sure that this will settle down a bit since this is a part time job but judging from the way the store looks when I surface my head from my training...omg this store is crazy busy. We shall see. So here is a LO I put together of my Daddy. Its kind of a combo of then and now and how life kind of slips out of our hands. So be good to each other cause you just might not get a second chance.  Enjoy and hopefully I will see you soon.

Here's a Peek

I talked about my recent moving experience in a prior post so here is a little sample of what was going on.  Trust me those smiles were not on their faces after about 8 hours of trying to fit all our stuff in the truck. Hope you enjoy.

It's been a long time...

Wow I just realized how long it's been since I posted anything on this blog. That's what moving does to you. July 14th I moved from Connecticut back to NJ. Until I got back here I didn't realize how unhappy I really was there. I feel like I got my life back again. Moving, of course was grueling. It's been such a hot summer and we got caught in the middle of it making the move that much worse. But like all things we persevered through and are now mostly settled in. Moving on (seems like the key word today) I applied for my dream job at Apple again about two weeks after I got here. Boy did I almost fall off my chair when I opened up my email the day after I applied. I started jumping up and down and then got nervous. My first interview was with two other people but our interviewer was quick to tell us that we did not have to try to outdo each other. Thank God. I got a call back the next day asking if I could come in the next day and meet with the Sr. Store manager. Of course I cancelled anything I had going on and went to meet her. After my meeting with her she asked if I would hang around and meet with the store leader. Needless to say I didn't have to give that a second thought. I got a call that night asking me to come in the next day and meet with the Regional Manager. Met with him and two other candidates. He was also quick to tell us this was not a competition. He also told us this would be our last interview and everything looks positive. I will keep you posted. So it has been a whirlwind for the past 3 weeks. Hopefully I will be getting back in Scrapping mode very soon. Talk to you soon...

So I should be packing but instead I am just thinking about packing. Tell me one person who likes to move and I'll tell you they are a liar. Well it is a little exciting, new place, new digs but in this case I know the area so there will be no big adventures finding things and I can give the navigation system a rest.

Finally went to Abbott's Lobster in the Rough the other night. Soooooo many people rave about this place so decided to give it a try before leaving Connecticut. Just a tidbit here about Conn. My son just pointed out to me that I have been spelling it wrong for the last year. Oh well, its a good thing I'm leaving. So back to Abbott's. Its kind of a shacky looking place on the water and you stand in line to place your order. Need I say here that lobster is one of their specialties. Started with the clam chowder, excellent then moved on to shrimp in the raw, a hot lobster roll and corn on the cob. Absolutely yum. My son had an order of the mussels in garlic and wine and the mussels were huge and delicious. So do you think we liked the place?? A huge thumbs up. Not to mention that it was a gorgeous night, with a full moon that rose above the water and just shimmered. Perfect!! I decided to scrap the event and I hope the food looks as good as it was.

Trying to get organized since returning to Florida but having a hard time focusing. So much to do since we will be moving again. Looks like I am returning to being a Jersey girl.  So once again have to find a place to move on very short notice. I think this time I would like to live closer to the beach, walking distance would be very nice. As my mother always said it will work out.

Here's my latest LO from Orlando. Man was it hot down there but sitting by the pool at night brought some relief.

News...News...News..

I have been taking this great new class over at Jessica Sprague, hence my absence from my blog. I have been learning so many great things and have been consumed  with it.  So speaking about Jessica, she is turning 3 this month, well not her personally but her site and she is having a huge celebration. Not only a free class but a mega sale.

To quote her, " I also wanted to let you know that I'll be offering a BRAND NEW class starting June 28! Best part? It's FREE! That's right! Mark your calendar, and get set for Computer Tricks for Cardmaking! Registration for this class will begin on Monday, June 14, and run through the first day of class, June 28. Spread the word to your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and everyone on your Facebook list! Oh, and did I mention it was FREE?! :) "

Let me tell you, you can't go wrong over there. They have been my family for the past 3 years and I have learned everything I know from Jess.  She has a great way of teaching and within hours you will be creating things and learning about Photoshop that you didn't think possible. Trust me on that one.

On a personal note I will be heading back down to Florida to visit with Jenny on Wed.  I hear it is really hot right now so I am hoping that I can endure since I do not do well with heat. I guess I will have to stay wet the whole time whether I like it or not.

Some New Eye Candy
