Where did the weekend go?

Well it's Monday and I miss Matt already. lol Vacation starts next week so he'll be home with me all next week.. YAY! I may edit this next after he's been home for a day or so. lmao

Saturday night we ended up playing Chinese Checkers and my dad won. We also played Yahtzee and Matt won both game. It was his first time playing too. Go figure.

Yesterday was a very lazy day and I wasn't feeling well. I had a headache and it continued most of the day even after taking tylenol. Matt was very helpful with Tally though. I did make a page yesterday and a new siggie with Tallys name on it. So I think both of them turned out nicely!

Well I guess that's all for now. May be able to update tonight, if not I will in the morning. I'm going to try and work on another page today so we'll see! :D

So annoyed!

This is the third time trying to do this post. The first two times I accidently backed out and everything got deleted. I was almost finished both times. Ugh! So lets try this again and this time I'm going to save twice before I finish.

Ok this is like dejavu... but here we go

I was reading Rhonna's blog today and decided to do my Colorstrology and here is what it had to say about me.

My color is Lettuce Green
Imaginative
Emotional
Discriminating

You have strong emotions but do not alwats express what you are really feeling. You have a way with words and are mentally agile. Partnerships are important to you and a lot of transformation occurs due to your close personal relationships. Writing is one of the ways for you to process your feelings and channel your energy. Your personal color helps increase your stamina. Wearing. meditating or surrounding yourself with Lettuce Green lets you know when to rest and when to act.

It's rare that I find something that actually fits me. Yet I must say this does!! That is pretty much how I am. Everytime I read about Gemini's it says I am a party girl, but let me tell you a little secret ... I'M NOT!!!

Ok enough about that! Now onto my day. Today was my weekly trip to Super Target with my mom. Went ahead and bought Tally a couple of sippy cups to start testing. Not sure how much she'll like them but I wanted to get her started at least holding them. I put some water in one when I got home and she didn't know what to think about it. She seemed to like holding it though and it didn't take her long to figure out that it water came out of it. I've never given her plain water before so she didn't like that to much. She kept making a face everytime she took a sip. lol *cute*

We went to lunch at PFChang's. My mom loves that place. She is always getting it to-go for herself. lol We had the Northern Style Spare Ribs (always have to have those) then we got my mom's favorite Honey Shrimp and for my choice we got Ginger Chicken with Broccoli. Yum it was all delicious. It was kind of our last restaurant lunch for a while since we are both trying to save money so we went all out.

Tonight is our weekly family night with my parents. This is when we get together and play a game and have dinner. My dad is making his famous Chicken Dumplings. I love them and I can't wait. Have no idea what game we are playing, we've been trying to play different games every week. I'll have to put it in my next post. Last week we played Sorry and I won both games we played. The last one I was sitting on the couch with Tally trying to get her to sleep and they were moving me and I still won. lmao

Ok enough for today... c-ya maybe tomorrow!

I'm going to go nuts!

Tally has been Miss Fussy Pants for the past couple of days. She doesn't want to take her naps yet she's tired, so she just sits there whining. I really think she is teething. Not seeing any yet but she wants to chew on everything. I might as well get used to this it's going to continue for the next year and a half or so.

Haven't been working on any scrapbook pages the past couple of days. I made this one three days ago. lol

I have been working on some new tutorials for PSP and making new names and a new siggie for my February Sweetest Things board. I get side tracked easily on learning new things. So that's what I've been doing. I've also been making simple blinkies. I don't think I'm ready for the flashing kind with the dots rotating. To much working making the dots and getting them even. I'm really bad at lining up things. Trust me on this one.... I suck!

I've been really nice and helping a couple of people on Sheknows. I'm proud of myself for starting to talk to more people. My post are adding up on the board and I joined a new one for my local area. I may even start meeting other mothers near me. I need to find a work out buddy near me, to go walking or something. I have got to get out of this house during the week. If I have nothing to do I don't even take a shower until Matt comes home some days. It's getting me down lately and I hate it. So we'll see how all of this goes.

Alright it's getting late and I need to get to bed. Matt is already passed out on the couch. I'm even going to add this picture because it's so cute. It was taken over the weekend. I swear that most of the pictures I have of Matt and her, they are sleeping! Matt is sleeping all of the time when he is home... lazy...lol j/k he works all day.

Sweet Dreams and I might get to post tomorrow!

Time to restart my journey!

As some of you know, I have been whining about my weight for a while now. I even joined a weight loss journey on Digi Chick Forum with some other digi scrappers. Well that failed and it was my own fault! Just didn't have the drive to get off my butt and do something.

-----------------------Well things are changing!--------------------------

Today I started recording what I eat and what I do. Fitday.com is a pretty decent site for a SAHM that really doesn't have the extra money to start weightwatchers or some other program. It helps keep track of your goals, food, and activity. I'm not on a diet, I'm just controlling my portions. I started exercising to those dvd's I've had sitting in my armoir all this time, decided to go with the Walk Away The Pounds series to start. Did the 18 min 1 mile walk. Whew that was alot of work. lol Tomorrow I think I will do it again and maybe try the beginning Windsors Pilate dvd.

I am determined to real my goal of losing at least 25lbs by the end of the year and when I hit that I will set a new goal. Hopefully I will be to a reasonable weight by next summer!!!

Lazy day

Well I didn't do anything today. Pretty lazy Sunday! Worked on some floatie names. Some were good and some were not. lol If I make one that I really like I will post it here.

So as you can see I made a page and I like it alot. That is one of my all time favorite pics of Matt and I. I really am pleased with the page, especially the crome part at the bottom where it says The Burtons. Did The and the urtons part myself, doesn't match perfectly but it still looks good IMO.

Kit used was Urban Kiwi by Kristie aka Shabby Princess

Soooo Tired!

We went to the Gatesway Balloon Festival last night to watch the Balloon Glow, they only had 3 balloons because it was raining before hand and they didn't get to go up into the sky. It was pretty though.

After that we went to Barnes & Noble to look for a Photoshop 1 Click Wow Book and some Oklahoma or Tulsa postcards. Didn't find either of the things I was looking for but did get a different Photoshop book. So we didn't get home til after 10 and then I had to get online and chat for a little while. So got to bed late but didn't have any interuptions and I finally got up at 10 a.m. and yet I'm still tired, go figure!


Tally wore the onesie that my parents got her while in Tunica yesterday. She looked so cute that I had to get a picture of it. Since everyone tells me that she looks like her daddy, it's perfect for her. "If you think I'm cute you should see my daddy"

I was so happy to pick up Tally this morning from my parents house. She looked so cute (as always)! She slept all night, when at home she usually wakes up a couple of times fussing, go figure again! Finally got her some teethers since she is drooling constantly. Not seeing any teeth coming in yet but I'm sure they will be here soon.

No new pages today. Haven't had time to make any. I'm sure I will have more time tomorrow to work on at least one if not two. Jeanne gave me a website for some floaties so I might try that tomorrow also. Thank you Jeanne ;))

Well I guess I need to get ready for our Saturday dinner and game night at my parents house. C-ya tomorrow and have a good night!

A new day and a new page!

I decided to do another pregnancy page. I haven't totally decided how happy I am with this one but I posted it anyway. I love everything in it just don't know if I'm in love with it.

I just love the top ultrasound picture, you can see a perfect profile of her face. I love it! I love it! I love it!!!


My parents are taking Tally for the night so Matt and I can have some us time. This happens about once a month and my mom always picks the weekend that AF shows up, ugh she has bad timing. lol Haven't decided what we are going to do. I'm thinking maybe renting a movie or two and picking something to eat up on the way home. We'll see!

My friend Saria from Arkansas called and told me that she just arrived in town. Surprise visit, since she usually calls weeks ahead and lets me know she's coming. Must have been a last minute thing. Doesn't really matter because we really don't have any set plans this weekend. I'm excited to see her since she hasn't been to here since Talesia was born.

Well that's all for now unless I make another page (which I probably will)

Another Page and Post!

Who would have thought that it would take me forever to start posting and then when I do.... it's three in one day. lol

In this page I was 4 months pregnant and put the cordinating ultrasound picture with it.

The kit is Sun Room Kit by Holly aka DigiChick

Finally after 2 hours!

I figured out how to get the comments up. It sucks trying to get things to work when you aren't so good with html yet! I am definetly going to start learning so I can update Tally's website on burtonwebpages.com because it's hard to get Matt to do it lately.

Time to start posting!

Decided to go ahead and start posting to this blog since I've had it since June.

I made a scrapbook page today and I'm pretty pleased with it. I used one of my favorite quotes that I have found so far. I've used it in a siggie on Sweetest Things but this is the first scrapbook page with it.

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for."
