Some projects and thank yous...

These are the projects that I have somehow managed to finish so far this month. With a complete lack of mojo, a to-do list a mile long and a million other distractions it has been tough to get anything started, let along finished.
These are all projects that I completed for Xyron. The people at Imaginisce (products on the layout and shelf) and the people at My Mind's Eye (products used on the bucket, basket and mini album) were kind enough to send us a ton of goodies to work with. The stuff was a lot of fun to play with, and I am hoping to make a few more things with everything that I was given.
I have more projects to make this weekend with my goodies from Scrap City (let's not talk about how far behind I am. It's making me ill).

This has been such a weird month for me. I look forward to the holidays every year. I love everything about this time of year, really. The weather is nice, we spend our time thinking about what nice things we can do for other people, we get together with friends that we may not have seen all year...you get the idea. But, again, I am just so behind. My tree? Usually I can't wait to have it up and decorated. This year? I don't even think it's half done. I know that I didn't get my weekend after Thanksgiving to spend with family, relaxing and getting the house ready for Christmas, but should that make me so far behind with being ready? Our budget is so tight this year that I'm guessing that that it is why I'm not very excited about shopping. It's hard to figure out how to shop when you only get to spend half as much as you usually do. Don't get me wrong, Christmas isn't about the presents and the money you spend on them, but with the remnants of my type "A" personality it is much easier to plan (and not stress about) Christmas when I can easily choose what to get the kids.
Why does everything have to be so freaking expensive anyway?
I had my root canal yesterday. They said that I wouldn't remember anything, that I'd just fall asleep, etc. The funny thing is that I was awake for the part where I was at the dentist, but after I got home things got a little fuzzy. I vaguely remember eating some soup, then I know I took a nap, then I remember being awake from the nap and getting ready for bed and playing cards until I fell back asleep later. I'm just a little sore today, and I guess that I have to go back for them to clean it out and dry it more (or something like that). Far be it from me to just get a little infection that can easily be removed. Apparently they hit the bacterial motherload in there. Yummy, right? It's not like my entire mouth is full of cooties, this was all up inside my gums, around the root of this tooth. At least the worst of it is over and I didn't freak out and start throwing chairs around in the office a la the incredible hulk.
Hopefully it won't be too long before my next post. I do have a pretty busy week coming up, but three of the five days that I work I'll be off by 10 or 11. Gotta go listen for the kids' bus now...
