Dumb Move.......laugh at me if you must.

Pulled a rookie move yesterday. Had to drive to the post office to send a layout out for pub and since I left work about 1 hour early, I figure.........hmmmmmmmm, I can go to Wally World to develop some pics before I get Jaden at the sitters. Perfect Plan. Put my pix in the 1 hour, did some shopping, looked at the Music Section........looking for the new Nelly Furtado Cd......duh, doesn't come out until June 20th. Loving her new single with Timbaland, Promicouous Girl is a HOTT track!........anyway, back to the topic at hand...........I pick up my pictures, look at the clock and say Holey Crap! I have 15 minutes until I have to pick up Jaden! I jam to my car, put my purchases in, which included a new booster car seat for J........and I shut the door. Then pull the handle to get in the driver's seat AND damn. Guess what I did?

LOCKED THE FRIGGEN KEYS IN THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm telling you, total rookie move.

No cell phone, no money. Nutin. Everything is locked in the car. Don't ask me how I did it, because I have no idea.

I walked back to Walmart and try to collect call someone. Did you know that you cannot place a collect call to a cell phone? Well, you can't. David is only availiable through his cell, so that was out and anyone else on a cell for that matter. So I call my sisters house. Apparently when you make a collect call, they record you saying your name and it plays for the person you are calling. The call goes through at my sisters and my niece answers. YES! Someone!!!! Danielle says "Are you calling from Jail?"

WHAT????????????????????

Evidently for her, calling collect means you got locked up and you are using the ONE call they allow you before they cage you up in the striped outfit and shackles.

After I assure her that I'm not in the pokie, I explain the sitch and she says, ok I'll be right there. By this time it's 6 o'clock already. I'm late to pick up my son. I see security and flag them down. It dawns on me that DUH, I have AAA Insurance!!! They can send someone to unlock my car!! I borrow the security lady's cell phone and make the arrangements. They tell me it will be 35 minutes. Not that bad. Right then Danielle gets there and I try to remember my sitters phone number. Can't remember it to save my friggen life. I never dial it, I just press one button and presto........note to self, memorize babysitters phone number. and no it was not listed, i tried that.

We hop in my nieces car and pick up Jaden. Put him in the car, with no car seat! Quite ironic that in my friggen LOCKED car I have not one but 2 car seats, but whatever. Guess I could have borrowed the sitters extra one, but I was not thinking. We make it back in record time and meet up with the tow truck that is there. He tells me that he was about to leave, but the security lady stalled him. Thank you Security Lady!!!

He tapes up my windows, wedges this black, flat and square thing in the window/door and proceeds to use a pump that is attached and it made the door open about an inch. Then inserts this long wire handle thing and hits the unlock button.

PRESTO! Open door! Thank GOD!

so yeah.
my little ooooooopsie.
but even worse it would have been if........
Jaden was in the car.
can you imagine?

That was my lovely evening.
Nothing to watch on tv.
No more American Idol :(

BUT

The HILLS start Tonight on MTV!
totally looking forward to that!
GO TEAM LAUREN!

:) :) :)

CP OUT!!!

Happy Monday!!!!!!!!

Took me a while to get in the groove of scrappin' today........I'm sure I'm battling a sinus infection. YUCK.

The other layout I did will debut on June 1st with the new Blue Crew layouts.......don't forget to check them out!

The little FAM went shoppin' and walkin' in Santa Cruz yesterday. It was so soooooooo nice! Lots of people, the cutest, funnest shops and street performers too. Jaden was tripping out on a guy covered from head to toe in floral print lycra playing a accordian. The dude was standing on plastic green cups attached to his shoes while he stood on top of a box, with a planter/vase on his head. I took a picture of him. I'll share it later.

Also caught X-Men 3......overall good flick. Some messed up things happened that I didn't expect and they introduced alot of new characters......Angel guy was a cutie Pie......Collosus, strong guy hotness! I'll give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Rented Match Point and stayed up until 2 am watching it last night. Good movie, I call it a sexy, well acted thriller. I highly recommend it! I had no idea that Woody Allen wrote and directed it. The whole movie, David kept on saying "that chick is hot"...........it got very old after the 5 or 6th time. He was referring to Scarlett Johannsen, yeah she is a beauty, but her co-star wasn't too bad either! I give it 5 stars.

Time to clean up my Scrapping mess. UGH.
C-YAS

Life is a PARTY!

It was parties and celebrating all weekend long for me!

Party #1 Friday: A cousin had a college grad party Friday night and I was caught mid dance........look how hidious, me busting a move on the dancefloor.

Party #2 Saturday: My Brother in law threw my sister a surprise 40th Bday party. Funny enough, Party #1 and Party #2 were at the same restaraunt! Her shin-dig was a themed black and white party, so everyone had black and white on........except him, he decided to sport green. Good one JR! Majority of the people wore black but it was still cool! Here are some random pics of us partying down like rock stars!!!!!!! Well not really but it was fun!










Party #3 Sunday Part 1: My Sister in Law Fallons 24th birthday BBQ and we threw in Mother's Day Celebration for my Mother in law Pat. Didnt' take any pictures.......ooooopsie!

Party #4 Sunday Part 2: Went to Fishermans Wharf in Monterey for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day with my family. Got my Grandma in her wheel chair and strolled her all over the pier. My niece Regina is in the 1st picture but she's not a mom! Blogger places pictures weird so I have no idea how this will all set up.....my apologies! Check out my Son last picture. Ask him to smile and that's what he does. Nice smile kiddo! :)

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and a Happy Mother's Day! :)

Smooches Cupcakes!

Stop Signs

Driving out of the Albertson's Grocery store parking lot, I see this stop sign that reads "Never Stop Trying". Quite interesting, I thought. I wonder who did this? What was the reasoning behind it? Where there more "altered signs" out there? I went driving around the shopping center and found more of them........Creating, Living, Giving, Laughing, Caring and loving.

How cool was that?

Yeah, it was vandalizing.......but so thought provoking. This reminded me about the things that Heidi Swapp spoke of in her "What's Your Game" Playing Cards Class/Lecture at the Scrap ETC Event a few weeks ago...........she had all these huge 5 x 7 deck of cards that she had altered with different positive messages. Things and topics you needed to remind yourself of.....postitive messages about being a strong woman and giving yourself this as a creative outlet to let things go.

I took this concept and ran with it. I directly went home and created this playing card.

I loaded tons of Heidi Swapp goodies on this card! First time using her alphabet silhouettes and iron on fuzzy letters! Got to finally use my little HS Iron!

That woman totally Rocks.......I see a few more of these cards in my future!

So what's your Game?
