{ Where have I BEEN?! }

Wow, how do you start a post when it’s been soooo long since the last one?! Ever have that where you get so far behind that it’s just overwhelming to even start? Not that blogging should feel that way because really my primary reason for doing it is to be able to look back years from now and have a fun journal of stuff going on way back when. Oddly enough it’s actually pretty interesting to me already just to read some of my first posts only a year ago. That being said, I do feel badly when I see that 250 people stopped by to find nothing new for days and days. Strange thing is I’ve actually had lots that I would’ve posted about pretty much every day – a trip to my favorite big city over the weekend, working on the Eclectic Whimsy site, lots of fun new kits that I’ve purchased, a LO that I finished using Heather and Gina’s new kit and I still have plenty of betcha didn’t know’s to talk about.

Like, I betcha didn’t know that I’m a HUGE Fox news fanatic. I know I’ve talked about other television shows here on my blog but, believe it or not, probably 75% of the time the television is on at my house it’s tuned to the Fox News Channel. Part of the reason is that I very rarely just sit and watch the television. Usually it’s background to whatever else I’m doing whether it’s scrapbooking/designing on my laptop, cleaning the house, you name it. I grew up with 3 sisters and a brother so a quiet house just seems WIERD to me. I actually can concentrate better with at least some sort of noise. Why Fox news you might ask? Well, because it’s fair and balanced. I suppose if anything it likely leans a little on the conservative side but if you know me at all you’ll know that – so do I. :) Plus I usually catch enough network news like the Today Show or Goodmorning America while I’m getting ready for work that I’m pretty sure I’m getting more liberally biased reporting than any American rightfully should. I’m actually quite interested in the whole bias thing but that’s a whole ‘nother quirky set of facts. LOL Probably already more than any of you cared to hear about since most likely you’re checking to see if there’s anything scrapbooking related going on in my life. :)

So here’s the LO I finished with Heather and Gina’s latest kit: That Kylie is such a little ham for the camera. She rarely sits still long enough to get her picture but when she does it’s just one cheesy face after another. Gotta love her spunk! :) Other than that I’ve been working a LOT on getting the Eclectic Whimsy site done. It’s been so fun working with Jen, Lauren and Leeandra on it and I can’t wait to be able to start posting more info here and hopefully a link to the new site soon. Got some pretty exciting ideas we’re working on and I really could use that 3 extra hours a day that I put in a request for awhile back. Jen came through on the glitter request but I think she’s still workin’ on that whole time thing. :)

OH, and how AWESOME is my new musical toy?! I’m still figuring a few things out with it but I’m so excited that I can play any music I want on my blog now. I’ve got SOOO many great tunes that I just couldn’t find videos for. I think right now I’ve got sortof a mixed genre playing on there. I had to put my all time favorite song up first – Boogie Shoes by KC & the Sunshine Band. First heard this song at a nightclub my friend Cheryl and I used to go to called the Opus Room and I loved that place so it always reminds me of fun times. And then I know I’d talked about the soundtrack to Serendipity on here before so I had to include my favorite song, Moonlight Kiss, from that soundtrack. And then the Moon song that inspired a page I did not too long ago about my sister Tammy. Not sure she’s even heard the actual song before so I gotta leave that one up for a bit. And then Jill and I saw the movie ‘Take the Lead’ last night and it reminded me a lot of the movie ‘Dirty Dancing – Havanna Nights’ so I had to put my favorite song from that movie on there too. Fun stuff! :)

See what happens when ya don’t post for so long?!
