Freezing...

It sure has been cold. Rumor is we may thaw out a bit this weekend. They say 50's in VA come Thursday. I am so excited I am so ready for Spring. Seems like since the holidays are gone the cold weather should be as well. We already had a nice snow this year so I am done. I don't mind the cold when I can stay in and curl up with a blanket and watch Lifetime movies all day.

Funny how much you can change in a year. When I was laid off last year I didn't enjoy it at all it was so stressful knowing what was to come. This year I am working and feeling less stressed as I am looking forward of what's to come. We have been house hunting but no luck yet. Boy rent has really went up a lot. Our goal is to stay in the same school district for Eleni. I am praying we just can find something we can afford.

I'm off to the river again this weekend with the ladies for another scrapping weekend. I hope to get a lot done. Last go around I finished 2007 now to start 2008. I am looking forward to just losing myself in my pictures and memories. Maybe we will even watch a few movies. Anything goes no schedules and we eat when and if we want. It's so relaxing and quiet. I wish I could take you all with me. I will be sure to check back in and let you know how my weekend went.

Your scrapping weekend sounds great. I haven't touched my stuff in ages and am so far behind. I think I have too many irons in the fire. I can't seem to give up any hobby. Guess I'll just putter along and do what I can. Take care and have fun.

Hi Donna,
It's been terrible cold here too...we're s'posed to get a bit warmer too, not near 50 tho!
Your getaway sounds relaxing and so fun, I haven't done any scrapping in...forever! I really should just make the time!
I'm glad things are looking brighter :) I wish you well with the home hunting...something will come along!

Have a happy week!

Sounds like a fun weekend coming up! Hang in there with the house hunting Donna, something will come along:) I'm ready for spring too, we are warming up here in Pa to the mid 30's for a few days which will be wonderful considering we've had highs in the teens and low 20's for a couple weeks:)

I'm so glad you have posted. Was wondering how your were doing. *hugs* A year makes all the difference, doesn't it? You sound 'less stressed' too! I know when we had to look for a place I about died at the rent they were asking. We got lucky when we found this place but its still not the same as a place to call our own....

Have fun on your weekend and enjoy that weather! :)

Donna,
Have a wonderful scrapping weekend. It's bitter cold here & we are a long ways from spring. I don't mind, though. Good luck house hunting.
hugs,
Pam
