RAK & your opinon please...

Hi all!!
Are you ready for a new week?? Not sure if I am, but I am gonna make the best of it *wink* I don't know about you but I try to cram so much stuff into my weekends that I am exhausted when Monday rolls around!!! One thing I have been trying to do lately is to try to get 8 hours of sleep per night~and considering I get up at 4:45 am (well really my alarm goes off at that time and I usually hit the snooze button 3 times until it is 5am). I would need to go to bed at 8:45 each night~YIKES!!!! My goal it to try to be upstairs face washed, teeth brushed and PJ's on by 9pm and watch tv or read until 9:30. I have to say it has been kind of hard to get that schedule going!!! I am used to staying up until 10:30 or 11pm!! I do have to say that I have really noticed a difference in how I feel, and I don't get as tired at work (getting up is still hard, but at least I am "trying" to get 7-8 hours per night). So that really cuts out a few hours at night that I would have had to surf the net, edit photos, etc...I am trying to adjust, LOL!

I also had an idea for the old blog-o and wanted to ask my Blog friends their opinion: So here it goes....drum roll please...How would you like to have a Menu Monday post??? I know that grocery shopping is one of my least favorite jobs!!! And in order for me to get my hiney to the grocery store, I need to make up a menu and list. Well... would you like me to post my weekly menus??? I mostly make low fat (sometime WW), quick and easy, meal plans (but don't worry they taste good, because I also have to feed the boys~AKA~Mike and Josh, and they are tough customers, LOL!). I included a poll (below), so please let me know what you think (I won't be offended if the idea is a DUD), I am just throwing it out there~feel free to THROW IT BACK!!.

	Yes, LOVE the Idea!!!

OK enough rambling for one day!!!
I have met so many great people through this little blog of mine, and Shelli is one of them (Hi Shelli!!! I am waving hi!). We even had the opportunity to meet up, because she happens to live in AZ too. Every so often she surprises me with a RAK!!! Look-ie what I got in the mail this week *smile* So cute!!! Thanks Shelli!!! It truly made my day!! Which reminds me, that I need to mail out some cards this week "just because" I have plenty, ya know, LOL!!



Ok Friends!! Make your Monday a MARVELOUS one!!

sharing some RAK's (Random Acts of Kindness)...

I have been crazy busy the past few days with a photography project...so since I have been busy doing editing stuff, I thought I would share a few RAK's that I have received recently, so you would have some new and exciting things to look at today...



I have some really great blog readers/friends!!! *smile*. The card above is from Shelli, who I email/FB on a regular basis...she just started blogging a little while ago...you can check out her blog here!



The second card is from Willa Jean, who I have also met through my blog, she is the sweetest person and lives in a state that I used to *smile* (not sure how much info she wants me to give out).

I just love getting cards in the mail!!! Especially hand made ones.

I have to say I am so blessed through this old blog of mine!!! I have met so many wonderful people who share the same addiction~I mean hobby that I do.

Enjoy today!!!

sweet RAK!!!

Happy TGIF!!!
Today I want to share a RAK (random act of kindness) I got from my friend Shelli (hi Shelli!!), she used EBB (Everyday Button Bits) for this cute card!!!~my new fav stamp set!! I just love getting cards in the mail...it is like a little present...and this one even had buttons~yea! Shelli is a great stamper, and will be starting a blog soon (I will add her to my sidebar once she is up and running!!!), you will definitely want to check out her cards for some great inspiration!!!

I was so excited to sell my camera (to a sweet blog/FB friend), it was kind of sad packaging it up the other night getting it ready for it's new home. I know it will be well taken care of though *smile* and my new upgraded model is on the way~woot!!!! I will hopefully have it on Wednesday.

Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? Mike and I are making a huge Goodwill run today (feels good to clean out!!!), and maybe rent some movies...the usual stuff!!!

Have a great weekend!
