I made this last night. I was so inspired by Marie’s project – I just loved the idea of making something that wasn’t exactly a scrapbook page. It took me for.e.ver. I must be the slowest scrapper in the world.
I need to switch out the ribbon for a nice chain of some kind. I think the ribbon makes it too frilly.
In my quest to be as productive as possible while watching the Olympics, I made this mini the other day. It’s of all the animals we have up for adoption. I left little tags on each page to mark “adopted” when they get new homes.
I used one of the kits from SIS. I went over there when they were having their big sale. I got this kit for $15 bucks!
These guys were so precious. Two white, 2 week old kittens that we rescued from the HSUS. They would have died overnight if we hadn’t taken them. That ’s me trying to bottle feed Bonnie (the other one was Clyde)
And this poor guy. He was rescued from the street, being used as bait in dog fighting. He still has scars all over his face, but he has such a great temperament. It’s just so hard to adopt him out, because pits have such a bad rep!
1. The last meal I had at a restaurant was the grilled veggie sandwich & tortilla soup from CPK – yummy!
2. unwillingness to help is something I intensely dislike.
3. The full moon is something I should take the time to enjoy
4. “-as all get-out” is one of my favorite local expressions.
5. Sometimes it’s best to step away from the computer
6. The Dark Knight is the best movie I’ve seen so far this year!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to watching Tropic Thunder tomorrow my plans include watching The Sisterhood of the…. with my girl Brandy and Sunday, I want to relax!!!
So, recently I’ve begun to get a little tendonitis in my wrist. Mostly from typing, and also because I have to life a lot of heavy stuff at adoptions. I’ve been wearing a brace, but it hasn’t gotten any better. So I’ve started a little regime of icing and heating every night, and am following a whole foods diet. It’s mostly a low saturated fat diet, along with taking some Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Eating a lot of chlorophyll rich foods. So James and I have been trying to cut down on carbs and eat more protein. No this isn’t like Atkins or anything. Just more tofu, chicken, less bread. No eggs, cheese and obviously sweets.
Well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. We realized soon how emotionally connected I am to food. The first day, I was like a rabid dog. We had grilled chicken on salad and I guess my body is just so used to processing heavy carbs that when all it got was protein it was like, “what am I supposed to do with this, Leslie?”. I felt weak and shaky. I was whiny and bitchy. I felt like crying. I was like that annoying child in the store – throwing a fit when their parents tell them that they can’t have a toy.
Detoxing is not pretty. I feel a little bit better and my wrist is definitely doing a lot better. James and I recalled some pretty crazy things I’ve said about food. Just this morning, I was asking him to make breakfast. I was telling him to hurry because, “I miss eating!!”.
One time, James and I were eating blocks of cheese and I yelled out, “I love cake!”
And then there is our favorite. James had eaten the last cheese roll from Porto’s (Oh My God, do I love cheese rolls!) and I threatened to rip his jaw open and eat the cheese roll myself.
Yeah, those are good times.
It’s time for me to quit my job.
There are two scenarios: One, I’m unable to commit to a job and like it, for more than 6 mos. Or two, I’m unable to see at first, who is crazy, and then it sneaks up on me one day and I find myself working for a total psychopath.
I’m inclined to believe it’s the second one.
It’s been a bad week. How can I explain how completely my boss has lost her mind without going through all the gory details? I just can’t. But trust me. She is a woman who can’t take responsibility for her own actions, can’t do anything without asking for one of us to do it, and is A LIAR!!
I’ve just got to eliminate crazy people from my life. I can’t handle the crazy.
I’m super tired because I’ve been forcing myself to stay up and watch as much Olympics as humanly possible (Go World!!) I can’t explain how much I love the olympics. But I decided that since I’m going to be sitting around all night I might as well get to scrappin. It’ s been so long.
Look at the expression on Apollo’s face. He tries to look all innocent, but in the next moment, he’s attaching Artemis.
And look at these beautiful goodies I got today!!! My swap from Anna!! Thank you, sweetie, I absolutely love them!! I can’t even tell you how much they made my day 
Pics from when we hiked up to Griffith Observatory. It’s so funny because we look so different now. I completely cut all of James’s hair off before we went on our trip, and I look back and I’m like, “he looks like Jesus!”
This is me looking down at the suspending pendulum at the Observatory. I love how much the paper mimics the actual design of the pendulum. Aren’t these fabulous? You rock, Anna!
