Time goes by...

...so fast.

I've been kind of in the scrapbooking mood lately. Imagine that?

I've been going through photos from my childhood and I'm about ready to make some pages.

It's so much fun to look at the old photos. Here's one of me and my mommy. She looked so pretty here. It just makes me smile. This photo was taken in October, 1973.

I wish I had better quality photos from when I was a kid. Heck, I wish I had better quality photos from when Kristofer was a baby... but I don't. So I'll scrap what I've got. It's ok. It's about the memories, right?

Halloween is almost upon us and I haven't purchased any treats for the trick or treaters yet. I think I better put that on my Target list for this evening or they could be trouble. LOL!

Here's a really neat photo Scotty took of the recent Full Moon. I just love this one. I think I need to frame it... but I have to find a place for it first!

Hope you all have a great day!

Hugs,
Dana

Bad Blogger...

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last blogged. I've started to several times, but then decided against it. Guess I just don't have anything too interesting to share.

Hey Deanna... guess what? I have successfully given up caffeine. I've only had maybe 2 or 3 caffeinated drinks since August 14! Can I get a hi-5? ;)

I had promised my Oncologist I'd give it up to see if my heart flutters would decrease and ya know what? I realized about a week or so ago that I haven't even noticed having one and I was having them several times a day! I think that's so neat. It feels good to be proactive about my health.

Now... I have a new challenge to myself to give up High Fructose Corn Syrup. That's going to be way tougher than the caffeine I think. I've been able to switch to the occasional Sierra Mist to curb my desire for bubbly drinks but that can't last either. I do also like fruit juices with no Sodium Club Soda so maybe that'll be my next switch.

Now... if I could just get motivated to use that darn treadmill in the basement. I seem to be able to talk myself out of that so easily! Apparently, I have limited willpower. I need to work on that, too.

I made Stephanie's Pumpkin Spice Pancakes for breakfast yesterday. It was a little time consuming but they were really yummy. The recipe says it yields 12 pancakes, but I got 16, 1/3 cup pancakes. They were very filling and I could only eat 2 along with a couple links of turkey sausage. :)

This afternoon, I'm going to put some bread going in the bread machine. I just need to decide on a recipe. I'm thinking maybe Italian Herb and then I'll make some Chicken Parmesan to go with it for dinner.

It's rainy and chilly here. It makes me so glad that I can work from home. I love not being rushed to get out the door and drive 45 mins to work. I'm so happy to not have that stress in my life.

Well, speaking of working from home... better get back to WORK! I have lots to accomplish this week!

Oh yeah... the photo is one that Scotty took up North a couple weekends ago. Isn't it pretty? ;)

Happy Monday!
