I should have known it was going to be one of those days!

Well, I know everyone has one of those days were you should have just went back to bed! Today was one of the days for me! It started out when I spilled my coffee on my laptop keyboard! Whew my reactions were fast and I actually saved the computer! Well, then I was driving to work and didn't really feel right so I kept on trying to talk myself into turning around. I decided I would be alright once I got to work. I pulled in the parking lot using the gate keypass and all. I got a great parking spot for a cold day...very unsual. I starting gettin queasy and decided to call in so I could avoid a potential accident. So right there in the parking lot I called my supervisor and told him I was outside and really didn't think I should try working so he said that's fine see you Monday. Great drove back towards home got some medicine and went home. Of course once I got home I started feeling okay ( go figure). I am one that doesn't miss much work even if I am sick.

Now that I am home I decide to utilize my time to clean the scraproom and house, while cleaning I decide to eat a peppermint stick. Well, here is the proof that my teeth were not strong enough to bite down on one! Yep, broke my front tooth! What the h**L am I going to do now. It is Friday night no dentists work on Saturday. Monday is a holiday but I hope my dentist doesn't stay home because I have a tooth to fix and I need it done Monday before I go to work. I can't miss another day. I just got my review and only missed 1 day all of last year!

Da** I should have just went to work and not worried about packing the darn candy sticks for my great nieces and nephews!!! So if anyone needs me I am camping in all weekend with my hand over my mouth! Oh, and by the way don't come by because I am not answering the door! LOL


Hugs Terri aka toothless!!!

New year, new visions! LOL

I know everyone is tired of seeing the same blog entry so I thought I would get on here and give you something to read! I wasn't into blogging through the holidays! I hope to have big plans for this year- I want to be more organized, detail oriented, more in control of my time and manage it better. I am thoroughly enjoying any time off that I am having during our slow period at work!!! Don't get me wrong I love my job, but I hate working every weekend.

If I can't do any better than this blogging my other resolution is to end my blogging career!!!

It is definitely Christmas time!!

Just a few pictures we took recently at our annual visit to Opryland hotel. We usually go there after we eat Thanksgiving dinner. A visit to santa, and some photo ops for Christmas card pictures.

What I am Thankful for

I have been thinking a lot about this lately and feel the need to blog on this subject. Sometimes we take things for granted and don't appreciate people or things we have in our life.

I think we all can be a little bit more kinder in the world to everyone whether we know them or not.

I am thankful for My God
for my family
for my job
for my health
for having lived a good life
for my friends
for being able to have a wonderful hobby (scrapbooking & photography for those of you who don't know).


This year will be the first of many holidays I will spend without my Mother and I miss her dearly. I had her in my life 52 years and she lived a good long life. But I cannot forget all the other people who will celebrate the holidays without loved ones they have lost through sickness, war or other circumstances. I just want to say I am grateful and thankful to have had Mom with me all these years. I have my memories and that will get me and my Dad through the holidays.

Well, as I sit here crying I would just like everyone who reads my blog to think of something to be thankful for. I know the world is crazy and times are hard but at least you woke up this morning and were breathing. So go and do something nice for someone whether you know them or not. Because if everyone did just one nice thing a day the world would be a better place.

Hugs and
Take Care
Remember to do something nice everyday and be thankful

Always Terri

She's 17 already????

She is 17 already when did this all happen?

Today my granddaughter Alyssa turned 17! Where did all this time go? It was just yesterday I was holding her and cuddling her cute little bundle. I don't feel old enough to have a 17 yo granddaughter! Alyssa, her Mom, and I all enjoyed the day in Nville shopping and eating out lunch at olive garden.

Love you Little Lissy
Always Memaw

A visit to the Pumpkin Patch

We took our annual visit to Jacksons Orchard on Sunday and I wanted to post some of the pics with the boys. Alyssa didn't get to go so we will have to make one more trip back up the hill. We have been going since she was a baby (11 months old) and she is now soon to be 17! So you will see some more pumpkin patch pics again with her in them!

fun times & cute projects

I had a fun time this weekend with my scrapping buddies! Here are some of the projects we did, Bard did a great job! Here they are:
