With the holiday season right around the corner. Have you started to do any baking or planning?

Nope. I mean I have thought about it, but I haven't started. It is time to start on the hand made gifts that I want to do. I need to work on my christmas cards and many other things. I have just been really busy with Victoria starting kindergarten and the Daisies.

On the daisy note, we had our first meeting last night. It went pretty well. I also have scheduled for mid November to take my first aid class. I am already CPR certified, but I need to be first aid certified in order for us to be able to go places. I also gave the other co-leader a check to get Victoria's smock and book for Daisies since she is going to the Girl Scout store today. I can't wait to see Victoria in that cute smock! Can you say scrapbook page? LOL

have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know
what you are doing and you are alway s in control of your life. Others may
not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have
to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you
or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:

You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in
and you are never are out of style You are good at knowing how to
satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days
more than once but you always come home with the family values that
you learned. Being married and having children are important to you,
but only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to
give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic
and you always< BRsee the bright side of things. Some good advice:
try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause
many conflicts inyour life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best
friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never
cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your
feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part.
Stay away from traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress
free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very
serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call
your Mom every Sunday.You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays.
Don't confuse your passion with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker... Every situation is fronted
with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong
family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a
bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once
in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!

So, who are YOU???

When your scrapping/card making do you ever look at your surrounding for ideas?

I have no idea. Most of the time, my ideas just come to me. With absolutely no explanation LOL.

I know that this is a very interesting post, but oh well, I did i.

Tagged by Carol Wingert...

1. Link to the person's blog who tagged you. The amazingly talented and inspirational Carol Wingert! Carol Wingert

2. List seven weird things about yourself...OK, weirdness is in the eye of the beholder...let's call it "unique things" about yourself.

----1. I love the taste of peaches, but can't stand peaches with the skin on because of the fuzz. UGH! It makes my skin crawl to think of it.
----2. I am allergic to sunblock, but I am very fair skinned. Strange I know! This is how I know that God has a sense of humor. LOL
----3. I like the smell of gasoline. I know, most people hate it. But I love the smell.
----4. I can't stand the news, it depresses me and makes me sad. Why don't they report something happy?
----5. Ok, the news makes me sad, but I love to watch Forensic Files. My husband says that it depresses him more than the news. It doesn't depress me because I know at the end, they catch the bad guy.
----6. I can't stand the idea of a butterfly touching me. Any bug at all for that matter. To me a pretty bug is just the same as an ugly bug.
----7. My favorite physical feature about myself is my nose. I am pretty sure that is the last thing they will say.

Blog about something inspiring that you've heard/read lately.
Blog about it.

The most inspiring thing I have heard/read is from the lesson plan for my daughter's daisy girlscout troop. The lesson if for them to earn their "Responsible for what I say and do" petal. They have to color a picture and then crumple it into a ball and then you see the wrinkles in the paper and then you explain that whenyou say something mean or do something bad it always leaves a mark on that person. Then you squeeze a tube of toothpaste and tell them to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Of course, the moral there is that sometimes you say or do things that you can't take back.

Oh boy am I glad that I am a leader because I NEED THESE LESSONS. So do a lot of other adults I know. Why is there not an adult girl scouts? LOL

What is your biggest achievement so far this year?

I would have to say that starting the electronic medical records system at work is my biggest achievement. The amount of planning and coordinating it took to accomplish that is just more than I can say.

In my personal life, getting Victoria ready for her first year of school and starting up with the Daisy girl scouts.

It's been a busy year and I can't even think of everything.

Fun Day!

We went to the pumpkin patch and we went to the girl scout's chili cook off. The weather is absolutely gorgeous!!!



2 Peas Blogger Challenge...

What is your favorite fall activity? what fall traditions do you have?

My favorite fall activity is picking out pumpkins. Not necessarily the act of carving pumpkins, but of picking them out at the pumpkin patch. I love to be in the outdoors with the air crisp and clean smelling and all of the gorgeous colors of fall surrounding me. I love the excitement that I see in my daughter and her adorable penchant for choosing the "charlie brown christmas tree" of pumpkins so to speak.

Traditions...mainly picking out pumpkins, decorating for halloween, and carving pumpkins. Not really anything super different. Heck, maybe my family needs some new traditions. LOL

Today's Inspiration

The following are layouts by suzdoyle on 2peas:

The History of Love....Nicole Krauss

The History of Love....Nicole Krauss....you inspire me.


Once upon a time there was a girl. When she was young, she felt like there was no where that she belonged. When she got older, the feeling would go away for a time, but 90% of the time she felt like somehow she was on the outside looking in. She always wondered how everyone else seemed to have it so...together, that they always seemed to know the right thing to do and seemed to say the right things and seemed to fit like pieces in a puzzle. She dreamed that someday she would meet someone/someones that she would fit with like pieces in a puzzle. Like perfectly fitting pieces in a puzzle. Someone/Someones that would understand her. But she never seemed to find that person...and even at 31 years old, even when she was married and had a beautiful child, she never seemed to fit in...and she wondered...does anyone feel like they fit in? those people who seemed to have it all together? did they feel like they were on the outside looking in? was everyone like a pea in a land of corn?

Anyway, as strange as the above post was, read The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.

Thoughts...

I am terrible about blogging....

Narcissism describes the character trait of self love.
I have been thinking about this, I don't think that word accurately describes my mother, character trait of self absorbtion would be more accurate however, she certainly loves herself more than she ever loved me. ***note....the author is not nearly as emotionally as disturbed as she sounds, it is just a fact of life to her***
Anyway, I have been going through amazon.com and adding to my wishlist just for fun. My mother has been on my mind, I would like to understand her. So I put on my wishlist books about Munchausen's syndrome and malingering and factious disorders. Big difference here...hypochondriacts really believe they are sick, Muchausen's they know they are not sick and pretend to be sick to get attention. I certianly beleive that my mother has Munchausen's and to tell you honestly it makes me very leary of myself and my own motivations. Plus I can't tell you how much it has affected me in my business and personal life, whenever someone around me tells me that they are sick...I think that they are lying or exagerating unless there is actual physical undeniable proof. It makes it hard with your husband when he wants a little sympathy for feeling sick and you can't give it to him. I am just completely unable. Christian has to bring up to me that I am being this way and even then, I have to pretend to have any sympathy for him. He will say, I am feeling sick and I say, I am sorry you feel that way and honestly I can't even fool him. At least he is understanding about it though.

This is the affect that Brenda Vanderpool has had on my life. Not to mention the affect that she has had on the numerous people around her and my half brother and sister. I wish there was some way to show her the havoc she has wreaked and on all the people she has affected. You know like Scrooge. Wouldn't that be nice?

It also make me think about things like, oh dear God what if I turn out like her! or what have I done that may have affected people adversely and negatively for the rest of their lives. UGH!!! These are some really heavy thoughts.
