there is no such thing as a "perfect life"

yes...
i said it and i admit!
we say it as a phrase, figure of speech, wuteva!
but in reality, things, life, people ....
are NOT  perfect.
oh...please!
i know i'm not.
if life were "perfect" then we wouldn't have anything else to talk about, to improve, to live for, etc.
it would be plain boring, dontcha think?
i recently read 2 posts...here and here
and i'm grateful that there are women who feel the same way i do.
and i do have to say before you think i'm being negative...
i am definitely grateful for my life, my family and my true friends, my hobby, my stuff.
whether they be "perfect" or not.

so here are a few things that you don't know about me that makes me "not perfect" and i'm proud of it:


  • i don't make the bed everyday after i get out of bed in the mornings. i usually do it on fridays and the weekends.
  • i don't dust all the time because it's not one of my fave chores to do.
  • i don't wear makeup everyday because sometimes i just dont have time or i just am plain lazy.
  • i still breakout around my mouth area...blame it on hormones.
  • i get moody when things are not done or when i've shown or told how to do it.
  • i get really frustrated and sometimes get a bit upset when the pup (Sierra) doesn't do what she's told especially after repeatedly telling her how to do it.
  • i really love sierra because she does have some good qualities, but sometimes i wish we got a smaller dog but i'm not even sure that would make a difference.
  • i wish i could hire a full-time babysitter and especially a dogsitter when i need "me time."
  • i don't get to scrapbook as often as i would like to because of home life, baby life, dog life.
  • sometimes i leave dirty dishes in the sink for more than a day, but i at least rinse them off (luckily i have help, my lil boo does them sometimes, well it's one of her chores anyway).
  • i do cuss when i get upset or when something really pisses me off.
  • i don't allow the dog in any of the bedrooms or bathrooms (unless she needs a bath) because i really don't like when there's doggie hair on the carpets of those rooms.  it makes me work extra hard to clean/vacuum.  PLUS, she's always in the way whenever we're doing our daily morning routines (brushing teeth, etc) and "sniffs" me when i halfway dressed, which grosses me out.
  • i don't trust the dog when she's by herself because i'm afraid she's going to chew something up (she's chewed up 2 of our tv remotes, soap, selene's toys and other things in the house.
  • sometimes, which is not often, i want to just be lazy and do nothing around the house.
  • i no longer miss working full-time in the "real world"
  • although there are things i do like doing like vacuuming...if money were no object, i would hire a full-time housecleaner who do everything from laundry, dusting...etc...everything!
  • i have the utmost respect for them and actually admire many of them, i have to admit i do get frustrated seeing the same scrapbook designers in the magazines i subscribe to.
  • i don't like it when people talk soooooo loud in a public area or restaurant to the point where they want the attention on them.  we dont want to know your personal business, thank you.  not sure why they have to talk so loud????
  • i consider myself a friendly person, but i have not made many friends where we are currently living. it's been hard making friends in this neighborhood or at least on this street.  there are some very snobby housewives here who i have tried smiling at or said hi to and gotten no response back.  i have given up on trying so hard to make friends here. but .... i have made one who i'm totally grateful for.  she has been so wonderful to me and my family.  and i'm especially grateful i have my hubby to talk to about 'stuff'.


so there...
there's a few things, i know there's more, but i can't think of all them because i'm "not perfect."
lol.

so so random...

yey-yah!

it's that time again for a Sassy Lil' Sketches layout reveal...

here's September's sketch:


for my take, i did one of my "so, so random as of...." layouts.
these 2 photos were of me when i was preggo with my daughter, selene.
i have to say...i had that "glow."
i used the cocoa daisy kit "siren's call" for this one.
in addition, i used my nifty circle, starburst, and star punches by martha stewart, ek success and fiskars.
i love those punches.
also used the notebook border punch by ek success.
a few paint splatters and smudges, that too!
and the final touch were some glitter glue dots using stickles.

without further ado...

here's mine:

so so random as of 6.10.10!

hello thursday...

Inspired Blueprints sketch #49 is now out.  had fun with this today especially since it had to be about yourself.  i don't get to do too many pages of just about me....it's time i start doing more and this sketch has got me going.

i used the A Million Memories May kit for this one and here's my take:
and the so so random tidbits:
this kit had some of my favez:  Lily Bee chipboards, American Crafts and October Afternoon papers...love it!

my random list:
  • my last day of work was 5.31.10
  • i like to dunk my fries in ketchup mixed with lots and lots of ground pepper
  • enjoying being a SAHM, at least temporarily
  • i haven't had a cupcake for almost 4 weeks
  • addicted to blog surfing
  • one of my besties is Rachel Ray, she's been helping me with dinner every nite ever since i've been on 'vacation'
  • love reality tv shows on bravo, tlc, & mtv
  • love taking silly selfies, can't you tell?
  • i live less than five minutes away from my sis
  • hoping to get prego, need to expand the clan
checked off my list of my weekly grocery run at walmart.  the freezer is now full officially...
and these have already been properly placed in the cupboards...

can you believe walmart sells bunches of flowers for $5 each?  yes...they do!  and... i got me some...got myself a scrappy gift (on sale of course!) for myself as well since it was payday today...

i did a couple days worth of photos for my everyday album while "babysitting" my nephews after school.  yesterday i was able to fit in a couple of cards...will post those laterz..one of them will only be a sneak peek b/c it's for someone 'special.'

was organizing some older photos from last year and bumped into some when went to pacific beach last summer as a family.  we use to go camping here almost every year, but things changed over time and we could not get all our schedules in sync...but last year we were able to.  it was so beautiful that time too and definitely FUN!  here's a few of my favez...
the first and most beautiful sunset i've ever experienced in my life...i'm gonna miss this place and times like these with family.

good nite thursday.
