so happy.

well i don't feel like i have much to write about. but i am happy it's friday, and even more happy that on sunday morning i get to leave for vacation with the fam. paul and amanda are able to come which makes me... you guessed it... happy. :]

the weather looks to be in the 80s. not bad, and we've been similar here lately, so it'll be fine. i just keep smiling when i think about the trip. i still have to plan and pack. we decided to fly this time. i'm still a little bit shocked about that, but we are a little crunched for time because my dad has to get back by thursday to be the expert witness in a trial. so in order to save time, my parents decided to go ahead a fly. i'm not going to lie... it makes me happy too. i don't mind being in a car, but it's just so much faster to fly. :]

i can't believe how much i just haven't felt like scrapping lately. i still love wandering around the scrapbook stores. yesterday i went into work for a bit and wandered around. i bought a few things too. but still. nothing. no creativity at all. i have a project due pretty soon, so i've worked on a few bits and pieces of that. i've made a few custom embellishments, and i've printed my photos and written some of my journaling for them. i think this will make the assembly process go faster. but i'm still trying to find the key element for the whole project. i can't find it and i think that's what's sucking away all my scrapping mojo. oh and when i was working on the embellishments, i stabbed my thumb with the craft knife. ack. it was a few days ago, and if i hit it just right, it still hurts. oh man.

so today i worked on my inspiration journal. a magazine came in the mail, and it just needed to be cut apart. it didn't really help the creative block so much, but it was fun.

oh and yesterday i signed up for some classes with kristina contes! i really can't express how totally excited i am. the store where she is teaching is about 3 hours away... and i think i have to go alone. none of my friends scrapbook really, and certainly none of them would consider paying $110 for two classes. and james... i can't really make him go along since the classes go from 10am to 5pm. he would be so bored! there is also a crop that goes until midnight after classes, but i'm not sure that i'll stay for it. i have to get back to reno that night because i will have to work the next morning. we'll just see though. :]

hmm. i don't know what else really. james and i had a yummy dinner at olive garden tonight and then watched about half of wedding crashers. his roommate was watching it when we got back from dinner. he was laughing SO hard. it was pretty hilarious. james is still really sick. i'm not feeling too well, but definitely not as bad as him. he went to the unr health center today, but they didn't really help him. :/ poor guy.

well. i was browsing around and i just saw the latest scrapjack. i'm pretty sure i actually have that page saved in my book of scraps on twopeas... i fell in love with it when i saw it. so i might try working on that to see if i can get some creativity flowing. i'm thinking a page about the whole friend situation from a few posts ago might be in order.

i hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
