Just back

from vacation! Sort of :) I went back to work today, I know Good Friday, I should have just taken it off to who goes back to work on a Friday, well me apparently!

And I had plans to blog on vacation to, since we actually did not go anywhere since we spent that money on the dentist and a new pc, which is OK with us.

We had a nice time at home caught up on some movies, played video games and had a nice anniversary , we went out with friends and played pool.

And I did not go to sleep thinking about work and I only checked my phone I think 3 times! Which is very impressive!

But alas, I did not blog, but I have a few pictures to upload and share with you, when I get them uploaded! :D And I have been keeping an eye on you guys! :D

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

today

I wish I was not working an extra 12 hour shift this evening at my PRN/old job but need the extra cash to catch up from the dentist emergency! AND my husband desktop died so of course he know has more need to use my laptop for his gaming, but it kind of works out, he is thrilled and has fallen in love with my laptop so it is now his lol and I bought a new desktop that will be here Monday, another chunk of money we were not expecting so soon, but it will be OK. I am excited to go back to using a desktop, having a larger monitor and dual monitoring soon! It will be exciting for all the new digital stuff I have delved into lately, I think. I am hoping the computer is top notch, as can be, I researched a brand I have never used before but it is American made so that thrills me and the price was very affordable for what you get.I will keep you guys apprised on that!

Anyway I have been very productive and I have some good motivation so I wish I would be at home to use it instead of behind bars, but I have plans to do some brainstorming for some new ideas and I have a fundraiser in May that I will be helping with and selling some things!

o surprises!

SO my week has been crazy, sort of, at least for my norm! Tuesday while chewing gum, my crown from a root canal I had way back when I was 14, popped off stuck to the gum, early in the morning at work, so I could not enjoy my lunch and had to do a telephone detective game to figure out who I had dental insurance with and what dentist they had auto assigned us because apparently I never picked one!

But I was successful and discovering who he was and he was able to fit me in after I got off work as long as I was there by 5pm, no problem that would be workable! SO going in I just figured OK he is fitting me he will probably ask me to come back later to fix this and fix that, since I know I had more issues than just that crown popping off. I DID NOT go in thinking he would replace the crown with the current crown (which is working so far but I have not had gum, I miss gum!) and give me two fillings in one molar and a root canal in another! NEEDLESS to say I was surprised as was my bank account and my freaking jaw hurt :S

And I still have to go back next Wednesday fr the rest of the root canal, and pay the rest of the bill, lol. (sigh) But I was able to enjoy my lunch the rest of the week!

RITA

You are like the only person who ever comments and I miss you! Well I mean I still read your blog but you know, I miss you r comments SO I did disable the word verification just now! Hopefully it worked! I used to get A LOT of spammers and a not nice person from my past commenting and that is why I put that up there, hopefully that will not happen again.

YAY!

SO I do know it is the last week of February and March is here already at the end of the week and so I wanted to make sure I had something awesome to share with you before then!

I joined (of course another online class) Art Journal Caravan 2012 !

And what makes this one really different for ME, is it is digital (hybrid too which I love) I bought Photoshop Elements off Amazon last week after joining. I have been wanting to buy Photoshop Elements but needed a reason, haha and I found this and well two and two makes more for me to do!

AND although I am fairly good with online, pc, software stuff etc and have some MAC experience from back in my college days, which now seems like FOREVER AGO! Anyhow, all that and still I am a way newb for PSE. Which is OK, I am excited to learn it, I just have to remember patient with myself!


SO without further ado, my first digital art journal page and first lesson of the Caravan, a letter/reminder to yourself.


Also on a side note, I have been having some unhappy issues with my laptop and hoping she holds on for the remainder of they ear :S I fear my graphics card is going out, my fan has already gone out and I need to buy another on to put it, I am using a laptop cooler stand for now and it works OK but it still really needs that darn fan in there! :S Which also could be causing my graphics to be haywire when it gets too hot (sigh)!

so I have

deleted my boards on pinterest, I will still look and like but no longer pin.

I do have some projects to share of my own but need to upload the pictures from my camera soon, stayed tuned hopefully I will have something pretty up by the end of the week!

IF I

painted as much as I pinned, I would have more finished paintings!

blogged as much as I pinned, I would have more blog posts!
