Serious Blog Neglect

School has started back, work has picked up again, and I'm trying to workout EVERYDAY without excuses. I'm exhausted when I get home and have my nose crammed in a book during most of my free time. All of my classes are heavy on the reading this semester, most of which I'm enjoying, but some is so very dry (ie: Tests and Measurements).

I've done little by way of creating, and I tried yesterday, but my mojo needs a jumpstart. I worked on a Valentine's Day present and I'm happy with it so I think I just need to sit down with my scrap stuff more often.

Here is layout about my goal (not resolution) for 2010. I want to run a 5k (or two) this year and I'm not allowing myself to have any excuses.



I already have another post lined up and need to take some pictures of some other projects. I'm back in the blogging saddle!

Focus on Me Friday

Challenge #2 at My Scrapbook Nook was to take a picture of your purse and all it's contents and scrap what it says about you. Here is my layout for this week's challenge:





The hidden journaling tag reads:
Contents of my purse on 3*6*09
Planner, wallet, pens, hairbrush, makeup, toothbrush from my dentist appointment, Westglow Spa gift certificate, highlighter, work phone, MY phone, & post it notes.

What this says about me:
These are the things I carry every day (minus the toothbrush and the gift certificate). I rarely brush my hair or wear makeup, but I carry those things everywhere just in case. My planner is my security blanket. I rarely leave home without it. I hate carrying two phones, but at least I'm not on call this week...that means three phones. I went to the dentist on Tuesday, but I haven't cleaned out my purse since then. I bet there is some floss in there too! I also have a fantastic boyfriend that gave me a day at a spa for my birthday and this is the first free time I've had since January!!!

Book of Me

Over at My Scrapbook Nook they have started a Focus on Me Friday challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to create a book that is all about oneself. I am really digging this idea!

The first challenge was to create a "State of the Union" inspired layout that included at least five facts about life right now as it is.

Here is my layout:
