I have a crush on a boy.

What do you do when you can't get someone out of your head?? I tried distracting myself by doing some layouts, but this was all I could get done. I have several pages with bits and pieces, but couldn't get my head right to finish them.

Yep....that's me

in a spinning class. A local studio had a free yoga and spin weekend. I decided to get over my fear and try the intro to spinning class. I had a great time!! We went over the basics of the bike and had a nice little ride. Who knew I was a 3-Flat-zero...that's bike talk for ya'll that don't know.

Today's shoe is just plain ugly.

I never thought a corrugated-platform sling-back existed. I was wrong. Then again...this shoe is circa 1970.

We're alive...

But I do think I need renters insurance. Seriously.

There was a fire at my apartment tonight. On the other side of my living room wall is a staircase, in between that staircase and the wall was the fire. Thank God for my neighbors who saw the smoke and smelled the plastic burning. They woke Clare and I up and yelled for me to get out/get something to put it out. We got the fire out and called all the necessary people.

The courtesy office for my apartment complex was soo rude!! I had to leave a message but forgot to include my phone number. I gave him ALL the necessary information he needed to get to the apartment, but my phone number (which I immediately left on his pager). While I was outside, I forgot my phone in my apt and when I called him back he was rude! When he got here, he had the NERVE to complain about how I didn't leave my number blah blah blah. I over heard him talking to my neighbor and I walked over and got "ethnic" with him.

YOU try and remember phone message manners when THE WALL OUTSIDE OF YOUR APARTMENT IS ON FIRE!!!

I didn't really think anyone was trying to harm me until the investigator asked if anyone had a grudge against me...ME...Latisha? Not in this state :) I'm trying to keep things light because at least it wasn't an electrical thing or actually inside my apartment.
I'm sorry for waking you up Cammeron, I needed to tell someone in order for it to be real.

Praise the Lord for keeping Clarice and I safe.

Cools Shirts, Candles, and Bee stings

I will start with the cool shirts... The office in Dallas has a softball team and we all got shirts even if we don't play on the team. Pacino and I opened ours on Friday. We decided to wear them around and take some pictures. I'm number 28...which is cool because its an even number :)

Now on to candles... I've been looking for some new candles with a fresh scent. I stopped in Z Gallerie because I love their candles!! I got the Thai Lemongrass...It smells soooo good.

As I handed my credit card to the cashier, I felt satisfied with my purchase...until I felt this extreme pain in my left hand!! I looked down at my hand and had a bee, yes a bee, stuck to it. The little biotch had stung me!! Me, Latisha, the girl who avoids all insects if she can!!

After some screaming and a little praying the cashier and two customers helped me sit down and scrape out the stinger. One of the girls was nice enough to whack the bee again just to make sure it was dead. Was this a sign from God that I did not need to purchase these candles? I don't know, but after some antibiotic and a cold pack I took my candles and left.

I would like to thank Cammeron for making her husband look up how to treat bee stings. Thanks girl!

It's Friday...

and all I wanna do is sit outside and read. Please enjoy this lovely layout. I tried to reposition the buttons on the bottom, but after some careful pulling I ripped the paper. So they're stayin!

We will miss you Sanjaya...

So I don't really watch this portion of American Idol, but I did stay current on Sanjaya and his hair. I was shocked this morning when I heard of his departure from the show.





Sanjaya you will be missed..and the pony-hawk was not a good look...

Tax Time Sales Rock!

The Scrap Shack had some awesome sales the last three days. Since I'm trying to build my supplies I decided to stop by and pick up some Prima flowers. Not sure when I'll use them but they sure do look good sitting on my desk.

I also couldn't walk by the buttons without picking some up :) I bought two more jars to add to the fam. Don't they look so cute.

I Love Target!

Why do I love Target? Because I bought this lamp for $15.
I wanted something that would match the decor of my bedroom but not cost me $60. It even has a chain thingie to turn the light on and off...no more having to search for that little nob!

Now all I need to get are some more light bulbs, I borrowed this one from another lamp.

I had to do it...

I had to join in and try my own felt creation. I wasn't able to participate in the ugly doll challenge, but I really wanted to see how I'd do.

And here she is...my own felt robot! Not sure what to name her, I'm open to some suggestions.

There are a lot of things I'd do differently, but I had lots of fun with it. I'm going to try another later this week. And yes, the arms and legs are different lengths on purpose.

babys daddy!!

I don't know why I care, but Larry Birkhead is the father of Anna Nicole's baby. I dunno if it's just me but I knew it was his baby. That little girl looks just like him!!

Horrible Monday Scrappin'

Been sick all day and I thought doing some layouts would help.

Since I had a migraine today I tried not to think too hard, so I sat in bed and tried to come up with circle journal topics! I came across a favorite number layout and thought that would be fun...I really wanted to use my new buttons, but didn't want to go overboard.

I decided to use one of our card art journal topics for the circle journal. You can't really see it, but it says "Note to self". I really just wanted to show off the paper, so there's not much going on. Love Basic Grey!!
