the last day of nablopomo...and a tag {nablopomo day 30}


today is the last day of nablopomo
and i am celebrating with a meme...
i was tagged by the sweet leaca of simply blogged...

Rules:

1. link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

2. share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself.

3. tag 7 people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.

4. let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

seven facts? let's give it a shot.

~i know i have mentioned this on here before,
but tend to clap my hands randomly...for a few seconds
at a time...when i'm excited but sometimes...when i'm not.
like i said...it's random.

~i cannot wear socks to bed...ever.

~i love green lifesavers.

~i play games in my head when i am doing mundane
things...like dishes...or putting away laundry.
i set up rules for myself...
i make it a competition...against myself.

~i let my kids draw allllllll over their bedroom walls.

~i get on food kicks...right now, it's chicken salad sandwiches.

~when i am done of this meme,
i fully intend to go to all the major tv network websites
and print off their christmas special schedule
so that i can fully co-ordinate which ones i want to watch.

~when i was a kid, i wanted to live at mr dress ups house
cause he always had art supplies.

i just realized i actually did 8....
heh.

and i think i will opt out of tagging this time...
but it was a lot of fun and if you do play along,
please let me know...i'd love to read your answers!

farewell, nablopomo...see you next year!!

friday i'm in love {nablopomo day 28}



~playing with my new stamps
from this company
and loving the results!
{just wish it would be sunny
so the pictures would be better...}

~chicken salad sandwiches...

~getting new elf stamps and white core
paper just in time to play with on the weekend!

~this adorable newly moved blog...loving the
new digs!! { but loved even before it moved...}
and her photographer interview series is
awesome...you should totally check it out!
oh...and if you are going to check that out,
you should totally go visit her flickr...
you'll drool.

~misunderstandings made right...followed
by big sighs of relief...

5 really good things on a wednesday {nablopomo day 26}

~this preview....brought to my attention
by the cutie who also brought about
the idea of 5 really good things on a wednesday
{and poetry thursday...}

~this totally cute superstar paper artist
and her adorable blog...

~the realization that this is out just in time for
christmas...and the giggles when i tried to tell
13 that she could tell her dad that i want this
book and 13 saying "you want a book by
falalfal-a?" heh.

~shopping with 13 last night and feeling much
more like friends than anything else...just relaxed
and giggling and making sarcastic remarks
{which is a requirement in the gkgirl household...
you have to be able to hold your own...heehee}

~and finally...but definitely not least...
a new job...
not that i didn't enjoy my old job
but this one has so much more room for
advancement...and better pay...and benefits...
and NO SATURDAYS
{i have just worked every saturday for the last
year and a half with the exception of vacation weeks}

so although i am sad to leave the current job
and i know there will be pros and cons to both,
{for example, my new job is a 45 minute drive away
and my old one was a two minute drive...}
i am open minded and excited....
i start monday morning...
which means a new routine for the kids
as now they will have to be able to get themselves
ready for school but at 9 and 13, i should think
that is not an unrealistic expectation...
i think it is harder for me to let go of that control.

either way,
i am excited and sad,
scared and confident...
change is bittersweet.
