Amazing how that works, isn’t it?  I’m currently trying to get ahead with my scrapooking business.  This involves me getting about 1 month ahead of releases.  I’m currently about 3 weeks ahead, so I”m ALMOST there.. not quite.. but almost.  It feels good though!  In other news I am emersing my mind in CSS.  Genevieve and I have a little buisness idea and I need to brush up on my skills!  I used to be fairly proficent at CSS & HTML but staying away from it for a long time really can mess you up.  In fact staying away for too long is horrible, you miss out on all the new coding and trends and what not.. that = bad. My husband bought me a few books today while he was out driving a friend of ours to the airport. HTML & XHTML (O’Reilly) and Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML.  THose should both be fun to play with.

My plan for tomorrow is to get organized.  I want to get my office & living room SUPER clean.  Not just a little clean but “eat off the floor” clean.  I also need to call the vet since we slept in for our vet appointment.  Buddy needs to get snipped.

What else have I been doing?  I’ve been reading my journal from 7 years ago.. when I was 20, in college, and had just met my husband in person for the first time.  It’s a good thing to do, it makes me appreciate him and I start feeling all giddy and happy just like I did 7 years ago!  Here is a quote from my journal.. 7 years ago today…

We kissed quite a bit.  He’s just so sweet! - Leah Page, Age 20, Dec. 29th 2001

heh.  Maybe I should hide this journal from my kids.. I don’t want them knowing that I was kissing their dad the first day we met “in person”  They’ll think I was easy!  In my own defense that was my first kiss after a four year dry spell.. so dang it.. um.. good excuse.. right?  Yes?  No?  No… I’m a bad Mormon.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  I know I did.  I ended up waking up my family so we could get started.  I didn’t sleep overly well the night before.. especially after getting to bed at 3am..  Regardless… Christmas was AWESOME!  Caitlyn got her Barbie Dream House and Barbie Bike and was thrilled to say the least.  I made those Cinnamon Rolls by Pioneer Woman and holy cow they were FREAKING AWESOME!  We gave a pan to our neighbors across the street and next door.. then we sent some to the Chapman’s and Laser’s (they are two families from church that happen to ROCK)  It was great.  The rest of the day was spent being lazy, talking on the phone, working on blog design and telling caitlyn to be careful while the rode her cute little bike up and down the hall.  Did your parents let you ride your back int he house?  I THINK NOT!  Do I?  Yes, I get the “bad parent of the year” award, kkthx.

Tomorrow is a big day.  Tomorrow our sweet dog Buddy is getting snipped… and getting his first round of shots.  Poor puppy.. he is NOT going to be very happy with us.. I can feel it.  Honestly, I never thought I’d love an animal so much.  He’s just like another kid.  I get on to him, and he gives me “the look” and I’m all “awww, poor puppy”  I should mention that my puppy is almost 80 pounds now.  Yeah.. poor little dog.

Anyway, as I said before, I was working on th eblog so click the link above and go check it out!
