UUUUUUGGGGGGGG.... Sibling Rivalry. Really, Lain? Really? I'm pretty sure you had this last Past Perfect. I looked there is a LO of my sister and I there... And me saying that I miss my relationship with her. And now we have to do it again? Bah. So, here we are... Marilyn, Mom, and I in Washington DC. May 8, 2003. I can honestly say that this is just about the last time we were friends. It sucks. I opened a Gossamer Blue kit that I still had unopened, and found this heart … [Read more...]

LOAD514 – Day Twenty-Four, AOII
May 24, 2014 by 1 Comment
It's Past Time Saturday... And School Spirit! Hmm. I didn't really do much with school spirit... I did theatre. But, with 4 high schools, it was really difficult to have much school spirit. But, I have a story around being in my sorority. There is much more to this story... But, getting into a sorority was so important to me. I don't know why. But, I really wanted that sisterhood. I went into my photos, and found some great photos from Presents. This is the day when the house … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Twenty-Three, Do you know, I love you so?

Today's prompt was the playground. I thought about the playground. I did. There are tons of slides of Marilyn and I at the playground when we were young. Tons. But, I thought park, and then I thought of the second trip that John and I went on. We went to Yosemite. I got so carsick. It was crazy how carsick I was getting there. The turns made me feel like I had to barf. Ugg. Then, I was sick. It was just a cold, but I felt like ca-ca. When we got there, they had the reservation … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Twenty-Two, Buffie

You know, Past Perfect is not my favorite groups of prompts. It's really not. I don't have tons of memories, AND I have few pictures... I have 1,000's of slides. It's such a pain. Today was Pop Culture. I was tempted to just do my own thing, and move on. But, in 1982, I wanted to be a preppy. I really did. I wanted all those Izod shirts and wool Polo sweaters. I wanted Pappagallo shoes. I wanted to be dressed in all those names, in pinks and greens. I wore penny loafers and argyle … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Twenty-One, I met Lisa Loeb

Wow, three weeks in and I'm still feeling fresh! I can't believe it. Normally, I'm known to be crying and complaining my mojo is gone! But this month, nope. Besides, I watched Lain's Creative Live class, and inspiration spouted! I love just listening to someone who is passionate about crafting. It just inspires me to continue to tell my story. Even just hanging with Vivian, Serena, and Lei works well. Where creativity flows, inspiration blooms! Today, we were tasked with Whoops. … [Read more...]
Good Morning, Henry Dog

One of my most favorite things to do is to go to Vivian's house and play with her new toys. The last time I was lucky enough to spend time in her studio, she fed me home grown sugar snap peas from her garden, and she let me play with her brand spanking new Life Made Simple dies from Sizzix! When I first saw them, my heart started racing. See, I'm on a budget, and I'm not shopping... So, I don't know a lot about the new stuff out there. Vivian had the basics, overall patterns, and love … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Twenty, welcome to the world, Little Star

Leave it to Lain to ask the hard questions. Today's prompt is faith. Hmph. I was so tempted to just pass on this prompt. I really was. I'm not super religious, and knowing that I could get hate posts saying this... The more Christians I meet, the less I believe there is a God. The hypocrisy drives me batty. When I had a conversation with one of my friends from Scrapbook Island about this topic, she asked me what I was teaching my boy. I told her I was teaching him to do unto others as … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Nineteen, my love letter
May 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment
You know, sometimes I'm right on track with the prompts, and sometimes, I'm ahead. I'm ahead this LOAD. Today's prompt, what do you want to be when you grow up. Hmph. I remember doing a LO for the first past perfect that was what I wanted to be when I grew up. And then for this LOAD I did a page about Sean wanting to be a ninja.I'm not feeling like going on a trip down memory lane to find a photo to talk about something I'm not sure about anymore. However, I've was watching Lain's … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Eighteen, we really waited 2.5 hours?
May 19, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Today we were prompted to talk about our dentist. Now, if you remember that on Day 14 I talked about Sean's first loose tooth, and his first tooth to leave his mouth. I just wasn't feeling this prompt. I could talk about the fact that I've had the same dentist since I was 20, because the old dentist hit me. I could talk about my first dentist who thought braces would be purely cosmetic.. Nope, no dentist for me. A recent thing that Sean and I did that was particularly painful was when we … [Read more...]
LOAD514 – Day Seventeen, Why I read…
May 18, 2014 by Leave a Comment
Well, back to a prompt that I can get behind! Today we are talking about the boob tube. Isn't it funny, people don't really call the TV the boob tube any more, but I knew what Lain meant. Now... I remember the TV, I do. I remember that we watched Sesame Street and the Electric Company. Later we watched a TON of MTv. But, what I remember most about the TV was that I wanted to watch Little House on the Prairie. I loved that show. I loved everything about that show. I lived for Laura … [Read more...]
