It's been a very adventurous weekend.

What a weekend! I won't go into details but I'll say the past few days have been super crazy. I've had a good time though despite unnecessary drama.

I did a digiscrap Treasure Hunt from digishoptalk.com and it was a blast. I got a ton of new stuff and I plan to go shopping with some of the designers I discovered.

Tonight I have my first exam in my astronomy class and Tuesday an exam in my stats class. Wish me luck!

Wow, what an adventure!

Yesterday turned into quite an adventure when my school closed down and basically pushed everyone out the doors at 4 PM. It had to happen on a day when I somehow forgot my wallet at home and my cell phone fell out of my coat pocket in Liz's car, perfect timing right? No big worries though because I had my handy dandy UC student ID which allows me to ride the metro buses for free and there's a metro that goes straight from school to about a half mile from my house.

So I use a phone at school to call John and tell him what's going on so he doesn't come to pick me up at 6 and I bundle up and head out to wait for the bus. As I walk to the bus stop I see a bus pull up and sure enough its my bus but I wasn't close enough to get there in time and there wasn't anyone to hold it for me. Still not too big of a worry the snow is picking up but I know that another bus is scheduled to come in about 45 minutes. Well...45 minutes came and went and then another 45 minutes and at this point we haven't seen a single bus at all in about an hour (and this is a very busy bus stop). So the people that I have been waiting with for the past hour or so and I start trying to decide what our options are. The school wasn't going to let us in they had already locked the doors and closed up. Traffic was at a near standstill but we didn't see any buses in the distance. At this point we were all freezing and an inch of snow had accumulated on our heads, arms, and bags. That's right we were officially turning into snow people.

Luckily we saw a bus coming from the opposite direction and heading towards downtown. None of us cared what bus it was we all hopped on and hoped that we would make it downtown to either catch another bus heading towards our destinations or catch a ride elsewhere. At this point it is about 5:30 PM and I had gone out to start waiting at 3:45 PM. The bus ride normally about 30 minutes so I knew that if John managed to make it home he would be worried about me. One of the new snow friends I had made offered me the use of his cell phone so I could call John. When I reached him he was stuck in traffic and hadn't even made it downtown yet so I told him to meet me downtown and just pick me up there. We made it downtown by 6 PM, usually only a ten minute ride and I called John again. He was still at least 30 minutes away because of traffic on the highway, usually only 15 minutes from his work to downtown.

I headed over to the downtown mall to wait for him and finally he got there at about 6:20 PM. We made the trek to get Dommie from daycare which wasn't too bad because it seemed like most people were stuck on the highway and we took back roads. We got Dommie and headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to get dinner and wait for the roads to clear some more. At this point at least 2 inches of snow had accumulated on top of the 2 inches we had already and now it was sleeting out.

We made it home around 8 PM and boy what a day it was! I guess it continued sleeting for awhile because John got to have a snow day today and stay home with Dommie and I. He had to work from home but we still got some snuggle time in and I was able to shower without too much trouble from the Dramanic.

If you've made it this far then WTG! I'll update my TTC news and tell you some about my latest Quick Page Set. I am at 4 dpo and I will probably break down and take a test Sunday or Monday morning since we bought the early tests that supposedly show results as early as 6 dpo. We're hoping but if it isn't our month then we'll just keep trying (It's not too much of a hardship LOL!).

Tomorrow or later today I'll be posting the preview of my latest Quick Page Set called Coral Delight. I'll also be posting up a great freebie that you can get to go with the Quick Page Set. A Blog Headers Set and freebie should be following shortly within the next few days.

Got Funky? Quick Page Freebie and Pack

Hello Everyone,

I woke up this morning and there's SNOW!!!!!! We've gotten a few inches with more to come which means John is getting to stay home and hang out for a bit this morning because the roads are bad.

Also, for those of you who may not know there's a lunar eclipse tonight so check it out if you can! We are planning to go to the local astronomy club to watch it through a telescope.

Now onto the freebie! Here is a free quick page I created using Kara Jones' Neon Decay Page Kit. It is available at K Joi Studios, click here.


Here is the full set of 4 Quick Pages sized at 12 x 12 300 dpi. This is a really fun set and priced at only $3! Click here to check it out in the K Joi Studios store.


In other news, such as TTC, I am 2 dpo today! I will probably test at 8 dpo because the early tests we bought (in bulk, lol) say they can detect a positive as early as 6 dpo. If nothing at 8 dpo then I'll keep testing every other day until the dreaded AF comes or I get a positive! Wish us luck!

Got Funky? Blog Header Pack

I don't have too much to say today. I've spent the entire day (8 AM to almost 9 PM) at school and I am exhausted. I am posting up the link and image for the full blog header pack. Tomorrow I will be posting the quick page freebie and a link to the quick page pack.

Hope everyone has had a great day! You can find the Got Funky? Blog Header Pack here for $3.


Also for those of you keeping track of my TTC news I am 1 dpo and in the dreaded 2ww. Wish us luck!

Blog Header Freebie!

Kara at K Joi Studios has given me the great opportunity to design some Quick Pages and Blog Headers for sale in the K Joi Studios store. In addition to the Quick Page Set and the Blog Headers Set I created, I also created a Blog Header Freebie and a Quick Page Freebie for people to try out before they buy the sets. I used Kara Jones' Neon Decay Page Kit to create these sets. Here is the Blog Header freebie, it is sized at 700 x 150. You can get it here at the K Joi Studios shop.


Tomorrow I'll post the Quick Page Freebie which will also be located at the K Joi Studios shop. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

In my efforts to be a better blogger I am posting a quick update today on some basic stuff. Nancy and Julia (my MIL and SIL) are heading back to Kansas this afternoon. They drove down on Friday in the 1996 Toyota Camry that my MIL got us (which we really appreciate!). It's a great car, runs really well, and we could definitely use the second car.

In other random news I have Astronomy class from 5 PM tonight to 10 PM and I'm still wondering why I signed up for that class. Last week on the first day of class I took 14 PAGES of notes, 14 pages! I could not believe that we took sooooo many notes on the first day. However, once I finish this class I only need one more science class worth 4 credits. I'm not sure what I'll take yet though. I've taken Environmental Geology, which was a lot of fun and now this.

In other school news I was incredibly stressed about an exam I had coming up in my Psychology: Child Development class because it had 6 essay questions on it on top of the normal multiple choice and true/false. The exam is other theorists and genetics so I was a bit unnerved about all of the information I needed to remember. My grade came up last night though and I got 102%!!!!! Not only did I get almost every question right but apparently I got the bonus question right as well! Huge relief.

Crazy busy lately, here are some layouts!

I have been crazy busy with school and home and everything else lately. Dommie's laxatives are working great and school is going well also. My IUD is out and John and I are officially trying to have a baby. We've bought ovulation and pregnancy tests in bulk, a book about fertility and a fertility log to help us chart and keep track of things to maximize our chances of it happening quickly.

In other news on K Joi Studios I have joined the Quick Page Team so watch for me to post about the quick pages I have created coming soon.

Here are some of my latest layouts.

Look here for the credits for "Dommie"

Look Here for the credits for "The Ability to Smile"

Look Here for the credits for "Take Our Breathe Away"

Look here for the credits for "Waiting For Snow"

That's about all from me, stay tuned for more soon. I am going to try really hard to be a better blogger.

I've been tagged by Naomi's blog meme

The rules for this meme are:

1. Link to the person that tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.

I was tagged by Naomi at One Woman Army for this meme, she is a very good friend of mine and her blog is awesome.

Six random things:

1. I absolutely cannot sleep if anything is covering my feet up, but I MUST have a blanket when I go to sleep. If the blanket covers my feet in the middle of the night it wakes me up and I have to move it.

2. Sometimes I sing in the shower and I ALWAYS sing in the car.

3. I absolutely love going to school and if I could afford it I would probably be a student for the rest of my life.

4. When I was in Kindergarten I used to eat paste. John and I were at the store a few years back and saw that they now make mint flavored paste. Obviously I am not the only one that used to eat it, lol.

5. I get extremely nervous meeting new people or going new places even though most people say they would never guess it because I am so outgoing.

6. I daydream a lot all the time and often have to do a mental rewind during conversations because I miss what people say. I don't mean to do it and it doesn't mean I'm not listening, it just seems to happen.

People I'm tagging: No one, Naomi tagged everyone I would have tagged. I'm a rule-breaker. LOL!
