wow...

i've been away for a long time...i am sorry...well, to catch you up, i've been working (duh...lol) both jobs still. m-f at my first job, sat at the winery and sunday i usually hope to catch up on sleep. :o) so to catch you up...

back in april, kim and curtis had a party, super fun!!! i was the official photographer...;) went to vegas and stayed at the wynn hotel. we had an awesome room with an awesome view of their golf course in the back. we were almost on the top floor, sweet!! i would definitely go back to the wynn. it was a nice get away for a few days. i even got to hang out with a really good friend and her husband. we hadn't hung out in a long time, i was really happy to see them. :o) hope to see them soon. hopefully on the next trip out to vegas.

in may, i actually got to be creative...hey! most LSS were celebrating national scrapbook day (first sat in may) for the whole weekend. that was nice since i worked on saturday, i came out to play on sunday at pink pineapple and had a super fun-filled day with mayra...yay!! we got a lot done. michelle hill was there and taught 2 classes, i actually finished the layout (picture and journalling, heeelllloooo) and just need to add pictures and journalling to the mini acrylic album we made...they were super cute! it was a packed house and my L.A. friends were there, it was really good to see them also. on may 5th, i went to a "cinco de mayra" party...that was fun too, i helped mayra put out the food and drinks she made for a little mexican celebration. she had about 15 peeps over. it was nice to see peeps out of the work environment and she made some awesome grubbage!!! so thank you mayra for inviting me...:o) ok, the second day of being creative-ness happened may 9th...woo hoo! i went to visit ginger, star, and mom at scrappin' in the hills for lunch and ginger had room for me to take her class...yay!!! so actually got to create some pages, ginger always has cool layouts. all i have to do is add pictures and journalling. (there's been a lot of that lately huh? hee, i just have to do it...) it was great to see my friends (heart you ladies) and be creative, all in one day...it couldn't be any better. :o) so that is one of my goals this year is to complete projects that are not complete and also to complete layouts from the many kits that i have purchased over the years and to use up all the papers that i buy and collect. LOL...ok, even TIM HOLTZ said we are all collectors...so i am not the only one...LOL but i do want to leave some kind of legacy, even if i don't have any kids to leave it to, maybe my brother will like it. :o) on may 22, i got to go to a padres game...yay!! in the super cool toyota terrace...very, very nice. we had hot dogs and beer, peanuts too. wouldn't be a game without those 3 things...went with my peeps from work and took lots of pics...i'm getting christina prepared for the world of scrapbooking, hee...she, her hubby and her little man went, they were soo cute together and djoser was my new friend. :o) padres won that night, beating the chicago cubbies 4-0...GO PEAVY!! on a side note, mr tony stewart won his first race as an owner/driver...he won the all-star race...woo hoo!!! and his bday was 3 days later, i would say the win was an early bday present...LOL the last weekend in may, cougar had it's annual meritage blending party where our wine club members help to pick out the new meritage blend for next year. :o) sweet! i even did a little tasting after i got off work...pretty yummy tasting blends...and i have to say, i am liking more reds...i still love my sweet wines but am really starting to like reds. :o) looking forward to see what the summer holds...

tomorrow will be june 5th, my first full week of work in june...wow...time is flying...tomorrow night i'll be checking out the temecula balloon and wine festival with kim, curtis, and a bunch of their friends...should be a really great time. in the 3 years i've lived here, i haven't been to the festival and am really looking forward to it, especially with them. they are super cool peeps and i am really glad i met them...heart them!

and in all that time, i also applied for a new job but didn't get it...we had a lot of people retire and let go so there is a lot of change going on at my first job...i'd really like to get out of what i am doing but not sure what direction i really want to go into...but i am still hopeful and will still try for new stuff...

i'm going to end this now and add more pics a little later...so until the next time...much love!! xoxo
