Happy New Year!!!

Well it's day 2 of 2009! and I'm behind doing 1 of my resolutions already.LOL- I told myself I was going to post each day but have I? NOPE! Starting today I will TRY!

Several friends are doing the 365 project and I'm going to play also! A photo a day then at the end of each week I'm going to make a page of the whole week's pics. Should be easy to do, I would think.

Our remodel is coming along, slow, but awesome! The LR carpet is gone. YEAH! I was SHOCKED how much dirt and nastieness gets under it. It was GROSS! We will never ever have carpet in a house again!!! Tile or laminate all the way. When we get this project done- the only 2 rooms with carpet will be my scrapping/craft room and Jayson's bedroom. Eventually that will come out too.
Jon and Mike got the pocket door all installed in the hallway going into our bedroom and the door removed and doorway widened into our room too! YEAH! Now I can roll my chair in with no problems!!! Won't be long we'll be able to sleep in the same room together again! 6 years is a looong time not to...sigh...but we do what we have to. Monday Mike will come over, hang plastic and they'll get to jackhammering up the bathroom floor to re pour it slopped for the roll in shower. Will be sooooo nice to take a shower again! Since we're redoing everything we're also getting rid of alot of stuff! It fees SO good to toss the old and shop for new! Been a long time since we've bought new furniture or anything.

I'll have to figure out how to add a slide show and get some before pics and progreesion pics here so you can see who we're coming along. Long process but the labor price is nice- beer and brats! Have to work around his schedule which is fine with us! Mikes a great friend and the guys get along really well! Always joking around but serious when need be. Thanks Mike for being a good friend and helping us out!!!! Course it helps when he has such a cute son too who we love to pieces and loves to come see me!

Oh if I forgot to mention before- I'm going back in on Monday to have my shoulder scoped and cranked on to loosen up scare tissue and such from my Sept torn rotator cuff surgery. Can we say OUCHIE WAH WAH!!! It's going to be really sore PLUS I have to start right in on intense rehab Tuesday! If this doesnt help get my range of motion back then we don't know what else to do- Cory my PT guy thinks it might be more neurological but is hoping he's wrong. If neuro problem there isn't anything that can be done ....sigh...but we'll see!! Not giving up just yet...it's the pain I'm having that's puzzeling too..will update as I can.

Whoa! Jon's computer is making a LOUD humming noise when the fan kicks in- wonder if it's the fan going? Will have to tear it apart...maybe it needs a gooood cleaning...it sure is loud tho...he needs a whole new computer as this one is like 7 yrs old and slow...maybe we'll reboot and see if that helps...

Have a GREAT weekend!!!

Rainy Days and Tuesdays

Pouring like cats and dawgs today and chilly. Sure beats the white stuff, although I do miss it this time of year. Now all we have to do is drive 2hrs north, play in it then come home.

Is everyone ready for Christmas? I am about as ready as I'll ever be. Have to wrap pressies yet but that will wait. We're trying to figure a good way to wrap Jayson's Guitar Hero. Kind of hard to disguise a guitar.LOL.

Remodel is going well! Everything is out of the bathroom but the toilet- hoping we can start floor demolish this weekend. Mike and Jon got the pocketdoor frames installed.WooHoo! Will add doors after they jack hammer the floor-just in case! Would suck to hit it with the jackhammer!After they get the cement out, they'll put in the floor drain, move the toilet, run water pipes for shower and sink then pour floor.Once the floor sets Mike can start the tile! YEAH! It won't be till probably after the 1st when it's done that far but that's ok. I did get my new shower chair so we're set that far! LOL.

Scrapping- Trying to get caught up with my CT work.I THINK I'm done, for now. I added a slide show with my new ones since Nov. Still learning how to make them smaller here so I can showcase more. perhaps I need to resize them in Fotofusion first? Ohh ohh- I got my new PSE7 last week! YIPPEEEEE....Now to learn how to use it! LOL. I'll be looking for tuts and asking for help along the way so if ya use it, let me know if I can ask questions,k?

Well that's about it for now. Back to work! Have a scrap happy day!

Post Black Friday

Well we survived turkey day and Black Friday ince again! I was smart this year and did all my shopping online! Only thing I missed was the sale at Sears when their site crashed! I was just going to order some new bras for me but that's ok. They're always on sale anyways so no biggy..LOL

We did go to Lowes and picked up our new sink- we went with a pedistal one so I can roll under it, also got all the new faucets for shower and sink. The sink one is coool! Reminds me of an old hand water pump on the farm. It's a burnished bronze- all the faucets are-
pretty cool huh?
Shower-
Sink - this is the style but ours is the same finish as the shower head.It's SOO purdy!

So things are coming along alsow but sure. Today we're going to finish tearing out the sink vanity and begin ripping out the door and hallway closets. Doors are all off now so we're ready to rip and tear! Hardest part has been colors. What colors to go with. At least we have the base started with the faucets. Tile will have to match- sink is white as it would have cost us another $80 or so to go with a colored sink. Ugh! Oh well..we can live with white. OH! Let me get the sink pic too! I think we MIGHT put some kind of wood behind the sink area- kind of laminate flooring type stuff to give a rustic look the area since the faucet looks rustic. What do you all think? yes? no? maybe? Here is the page with the sink - click to enlarge it on the site so you can get a closer look. http://http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=60723-34754-V-6000&lpage=none

Sat. Busyness

We have a HUGE project coming! We discovered a HUGE leak in our main bathroom after we had a plumber come fix our tub leak on Thurs, Seems it's been leaking under the main shower for awhile...the insurance adjuster will be out Monday AM to see how much damage is done. I have a feeling it's alot as the water seeps under the hall closet(which backs the main bath) as well into our bedroom. Jon said there is like a 4 ft space of wet carpet at least. SO we have lots of work ahead! Of course in the interim it'll be a good time to haul junk out we've been holding onto forever! My biggest concern is my grandma's cedar chest got wet. It's up against the bathroom wall holding our TV in the bedroom. I SO hope it's ok....Once we find out how much we're covered for then we can look for a contractor to begin the work...we'll have to take out the shower enclosure too to see what damage is done- HOPE there is no mold...then when we redo it we'll just do a whole remodel and make it a roll in shower for me, take out the linen closet and put it in the bathroom then make the doorway wider so I can get my chair in there, think we'll also make the sink adaptable so I can roll right under it as well. It's a bad thing to happen but a good thing too. Just sucky timing right before the holidays! Merry Christmas to us! Will be sure and take pics as we can.

On to happier things- I'm now on 5 CT's! Am I nuts, you ask? Kinda looks like it huh? LOL. I LOVE all my designers tho so it's all good! With all the house going ons I'm a tad behind but have managed to get some pages done this week in between the flooding and PT for my shoulder which is going ok. I sure do hurt some days!

Some LO's I posted this week. This one is of our friends little guy and his new bike.

On another note- my shoulder is healing well! Still stiff some days, staples are out and most of the sterie strips are gone so now all that's left is the healing and getting started with PT. That won't be for about 3 more weeks tho when I go back to see Dr.Tindall and he gives me the green light to start! I will still have to go slow so I dont reinjure the shoulder. That's all I need! LOL.

Hope you all have a GREAT day!
hugs,Karen

Happy Friday!

where did the week go? Seems the older we get,the faster time flies! Why IS that???

Shoulder healing REALLY well...no signs of infection,bleeding or anything! YEAH! I have always been a good healer anyways when it comes to surgeries,which is good!
Had an AWESOME visit with my sousin Shelly and her DH Randy yesterday..they were in town for the weekend on a mini vacation so came over for the afternoon...was a nice time...right after they left, I remembered,DUH!,Jon had taken steak out for dinner and I spaced asjing em to stay for dinner! What a dork I am sometimes! LOL..SOO SORRY guys! They only live like 3 hrs away but we rarely get to see each other,sigh,...her mom and my dad were brother/sister ...
Jayson LOVES his classes this yr...seems to be doing well,so far,,we'll see in a cpl weeks when progress reports come out!
Be sure to pop over to 3Scrapateers for their 4th birthday party and blog train...some cute goodies and crops to be had.
Have a GREAT weekend!

With a heavy heart...

I have resigned from 3Scrapateers..it was a tough decision to make but 1 I felt I needed to do....I'll still bee around tho now and then so I'm gone forever,just in a different capacity...thank you to all those folks i have met along the way and friendships made..I will treasure those always...if anyone needs me,you know my email addy or leave a message here...

I had surgery on my torn rotator cuff last Wed and am home now. It hurts to move m arm but I have it in a sling so try and keep the lower arm moving so it doesn't freeze up on me...try typing 1 handed with my left hand...LOL...driving my chair left handed is a riot too...NOT! It's really hard so haven't been back up in it since coming home Sat night...sure was weird getting into the van...scary even...
I have a pretty colored bruise on my shoulder blade...14 staples and 1 stitch...doc told DH that he's never not been able to scope a shoulder before opening it in his 30 yrs of practice so there must have been ALOT of scarring..ya think! LOL...I go get staples out Sept 9 so we'll see what he says then...have to go get the films yet too...anxious to see them....

Thankfully Thursday

Well this week has flown FAST! Seems the older we get the faster it goes! I remember mom always telling me that growing up, and as always as a kid, thinking yeah right! Yeah, Mom, you were right!

I posted this weeks CESE kit-
Lilac Spring by DeDe Smith...it's an ADORABLE kit with lilacs, her tear bearz, gorgeous papers, elements...perfect for any photo! Check it out:
http://www.3scrapateers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14482



Had therapy yesterday again. We increased the exercises to 5 sets of 15...I thought 1 of them I was going to die! It burned SO bad by the 4th set...Cory said that was GOOD...arg! We're looking to get a 10's unit to help loosen things up, or thats the plan now anyways. He still thinks it might be something with the rotator cup and so do I...the ortho doc who looked at my xrays a few weeks ago said it wasn't but he had no clue what it was- mentioned maybe cortisone- NO! I dont want it masked, find out what the hell is causing it to lock up! Doesn't take a rocket scientist to do that, does it? Sometimes these doctors are a PITA! They want a quick fix or just mask it for now, to tie me over...I want the problem fixed but first find out exactly what IS the problem! I'm going to get a second opinion here in a cpl weeks when PT is over. I said I would give it the 6 weeks the ortho doc said sooooo.....Mon I'm going to call a different ortho doc! Will let ya all know...

We went camping over the 4th of July. Had a GREAT time, rain and all! Plus I forgot to pack my sling we use to get me in and out of the chair with! Poor Jon had to haul my fat ass in and out of the chair twice! I called my urology guy, Gary Hershey at PRN Medical , to see if he knew of a medical place up there in Prescott where we were camping, He said he did know of 1 place but wasnt sure if they were still there..asked why, what's up. I told him we're looking for a sling as I forgot mine...he says that he thought they had one there at the office and he and his wife were coming to Prescott that very afternoon! What are the odds! He checked and sure enough they had one!!!! YEAH!!!! So he and his wife met us in Prescott that afternoon and delivered the sling to us...they were coming up for Prescott Frontier days anyways and said even if they weren't they would have brought us one anyways...How COOL is THAT! Gary ALWAYS goes above and beyond the call of duty for us! Not every business has employees so helpful and kind either! He's a para also so totally understands out needs where others might not. KUDOS to you Gary!

Well our AZ Diamondbacks are sucking BIG time! We HAD like a 6 game lead in our division and now we're tied with the Dodgers for 1st place! They have had NO defense and now some of our star hitters and fielders are on the DL! Not a good thing! Now there is talk they might be looking to hire Barry Bonds- NO WAY! He's a TOTAL LOOSER! I soooooo HOPE and Pray they don't go that low! He's a has been, washed up, major ego toatin' ass! They will loose alot of fans I'm sure if they do. I would rather be in last place and keep a great team than be in 1st with a roidin' player on the team! Time will tell...

On that note-

Gooooood Morning!!!

Well did everyone have a nice July 4th weekend? 3 day weekends are SOOOOO nice to have aren't they? Jon had a 4 dayer so we headed north to COOOOOL weather! We camped at Lynz Lake in Prescott Valley for the weekend. Had a GREAT time just the 3 of us. Weather was PERFECT! Had some rain and HAIL, of all things! The boys rented a canoe and fished. I would have loved to go too but kind of hard to get my wheelchair in one..LOL...so Reggie and I walked the path around the lake. Took some cool pics of hummingbirds, dragonflies, Osprey, a momma duck and her babies, cat tails, cactus flowers, the boys fishing and on the way back to van when the hail hit I managed to get 1 shot of the pea sized hail on the ground! Weirdest part was it about 50 degrees out so not sure where the hell the hail came from! LOL. We had rain off and on all day Fri, Fri night and then again Sat as we were packing BUT it did hold off until we got the tent down and packed up! PHEW! Only thing we needed to set back up to dry out was the canopy but thats no biggy. When we left it was 66 out, by the time we hit the valley 2 hrs later it was 112!!! HOT!
Jon just left for work, went to get in the van, came back in with this soda can with the lid peeled back like a can opener opened it- " See what happens when you leave a soda can in the car in phpenix in the summer!" OMG! It split that puppy wide open- guess where all the soda went? LOL...dash, seat, floor, mirror...guess who has a mess to clean when he gets home...snicker...darn good thing it wasn't in MY van! Do I feel sorry for him...NOPE! Ding dong...we live in Phoenix! 112 outside, imagine what the inside got to! hehehe...it's funny but it's not...I know- I have a warped sense of humor...snicker...

Good Morning

or is it night still...one of thise sleepless nights again...am tired but can't sleep! Didnt help I slept in till 12:30 and so the cycle begins!

I just posted this weeks new CESE. We'll be using American Pride by Carla Ware. Create a 12x12 scraplet to share and recieve all the pages sent in! Great way to create an album in no time at all! All the info can be found here: http://www.3scrapateers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14432

Weather is still SO dang hot out! 115 all weekend! I am SO ready for fall even tho summer is just beginning here...it's the pits!

I have a cpl new kits to get pages done with the next cpl of days. Some REALLY cool ones! Be watching for the kits in the store...cute summer one for pool photos.

Jolene Shafer has a new Military kit in the store Honor & Courage...it's AWESOME! Perfect for any branch of the military, retirees, veterans and active duty- enlisted or officer. http://shop.3scrapateers.com/shopexd.asp?id=6067&bc=no

Lazy Day

Well it's been a pretty lazy day for me! I went in yesterday and had my 1st colonoscopy..Have you had your's yet? If I can do it, so can YOU! I kept putting it off since I turned 50, gosh I'm getin old! Was actually not all that bad. The prepping was the hardest part, as you can imagine. The procedure went without a hitch. The out patient clinic was AWESOME! Everyone was very helpful and accomidating to us. I had to bring my own lift to get me from chair to gurny but that's ok. The nurses let us do what we needed to, right down to even moving the bed to get me into it. I mentioned to Pat, my nurse, that I was a hard stick and she said she wouldn't even attenpt to put the IV in then, she's let the anesthesia doctor do it. KOOL BEANS! When he looked he found a good vein, or he thought was..LOL...it moved when he stuck the needle in. I barely felt it. He had to look on my left arm, right above where it had been broken so the skin was a tad more tender...1 stick and it was in..good to go! They got me on my side, all comfy, put in the sleepy juice but I stayed awake long enough to ask Dr. Landan for a copy of the film to put on Youtube...eveyone got a laugh out of that(was just joking of course)! Next thing I know, I'm waking up an hr later all done! I did get some great photos of my colon and he said all is clear but I did have 1 tiny polyp he cut out and sent out to be biopsied so we're good to go for another 5 yrs or so! Have you all had your's done yet?? PLEASE be sure and get your's if you haven't already! Better to be safe than sorry! If I, who is paralized and in a wheelchair can find a way to get mine done , than you can too!

Finally Friday!

Woo Hoo! It's finally Friday! This week went really fast! I have been doing PT for my right shoulder all week in hopes we can get it loosned up so I have full range of motion again! It neever has worked right since I was hurt, 6 yrs ago! Ortho doc seems to think it's just frozen but Cory, my PT guy, thinks it's something else. He's been putting a 10's unit on it, then deeeeep massaging it and some minor range of motion of exercising. I have 3x's a wk for 6 wks approved to go so we'll see what happens at the end of those 6 wks. If no improvement I'm going for another MRI and a 2nd opinion. My family practice doctor seems to think it may have been broken or cracked when I was hurt and they never caught it. I can feel a sharp pointy area when I lay on my left side and while sitting at the desk so that leads me to think something isn't quite right even tho the ortho doc said it looks fine. Hmmm...
The weekend is here! Yeah! Too hot to do much outside tho! Temps have been hovering at 112 all week...ick! Welcome to Phoenix they say! Ahh but it's a dry heat! Yeah, so is an oven!
Jayson's school is trying to win $10,000 from Big Lots! I guess they have some contest going for schools, so he and a cpl of his friends went yesterday to help shoot the commercial! He got a part in it! I'm going today and see it...should be good...keep your fingers crossed we win!

Happy Monday!

Well we made it thru another turkey dinner and Black Friday shopping day! Dinner was awesome, more so since I didn't have to cook! and I got almost all my Christmas shopping done on Friday! Have a few odds and ends to do then we're finished! Well have to wrap yet which is worse than the shopping! I hate wrapping. Mostly cause it doesn't last long enough! LOL. Think the kids would mind if all their presents were under the tree in Wally World and Tarlet bags? Targets are festive- white and red- those are nice Christmas colors..and WM are white too...I might even slap a bow on em to make em pretty!
Had hoped to get the outside lights up but I was sick all day Sat with this darn cold and Jon messed with this netting stuff he got from work. It's HUGE. Covers the trains for the light rail and gets thrown away so he brought some home and is making hammocks out it! Pretty cool! He enjoys it so I let him go. Gets him away from in front of the computer for hours...can you imagine? snicker.....
Kind of gloomy looking outside, Could it mean we have rain coming???? We could be so lucky! NOT...
This cold or allergies is kicking my butt this week! Didn't help yesterday I was outside while Jayson was mowing the grass then I helped with a cpl areas he couldn't or didn't want to do...parts of it are dirt so ya know what happens there when the mower blows in that direction! cough cough sputter sputter....I also trimmed alot of dead stuff off my roses...one has new growth all over it! HELLO! It's Nov for heavens sake....die off so I can whack ya back to the max and have nice new stuff in the spring. I'll get after it big time this week. It's won't know what hit it then! LOL
Temps are COLD this AM. Jon left at 5:15 with a jacket on! Has to be ccccoold for him to do that.
Well off to finish some assignments for 3S then do some recipe pages for a swap . Have a great day!

Happy Birthday!

Well yesterday I turned 51!!! YEAH ME! Each yr I make another bday is a great event! I spent doing NOTHING. Well played on the computer, big surprise there huh? lol.
I recieved so many birthday wishes and a cpl free kits from scrapping sites- THANK YOU to clikchicdesigns.com and KBandFriends for your beautiful kits. I appreciate the generosity! Thank you to ALL my online friends too for the cards and birthday wishes. DH bought me the cutest card too! Along with dinner! Shrimp,crab and a Black Forest cake...yummmm....Jayson gave me a huge hug and wished me HB too. He is such a cool kid and fun to be with. He told me last night all he wanted to Christmas was a guitar and a DS....sooooo....looks like Santa will have an easy time this yr! lol. Tis good since Jon was out of work so much and we're trying to get back on our feet again. Sure sucks when you're used to a pay check each week then lose a job and have nothing for weeks. I don't know how people do it, well they don't and become homeless. I can't even imagine it! My heart goes out to those who have had it happen.
Today is a lazy day again. Fighting a BAD toothache. I'm going to have to find a new dentist and hope he uses something besides novacaine! I hate the needles in the mouth thing! shudder...
Not much else happnin. Guess I will try to get more files copied to disks and clean the HD...what a chore! OMG!
Till next time!

Adventures abound!

Well I did it!!! I finally got into another vehicle out of my wheelchair! Our friends bought a Ford Expidition and managed to get my butt into it! WooHoo!!! We got up at 4:30 Sat morning, got dressed and ready to head to the mountains for a day of off roadin and hunting. The guys hunted squirels and I hunted things to take pics of from the truck. LOL...we left about 7 and arrived in the forest about 9:30...found some cool roads to travel and bounce around on! One of them was OMG just barely wide enough to travel on! I just now thought DOLT! I never got a pic of it! RATS! It was where we did find this tho: [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/khalgren77/IMG_7931.jpg[/IMG]

I about died when I saw Mike carry it on his hand! ICK!
Here I am tho after a LOOOOONG day! [IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/khalgren77/IMG_8057.jpg[/IMG]

All I did was veg all day! Did not much of anything! Poor Jon limped all day cause his feet hurt from his boots! LOL. I would have thought his legs would have! Next trip we take I'm taking the video camera to get pics of him hauling ass after the squirrels! I didnt think he could run that fast! LOL.

Tues. Oct 30

Happy Halloween Eve all! Jayson has me working on his costume...he wants to be Freddy Kruger...ick! but we do it..rather than spend 10 bucks for a glave I'm making one...using his golf glove, foil,and duct tape. He wants to do something with his face too so we may use a pair of pantyhose and paint red/brown marker on them- Haven't decided yet. They had a news cast on how sexual some of the costumes are for teens these days. I SO wish we could get back to the days when we all made our costumes, covered ourselves and best thing they were FREE!

Well I am TRYING to get my EHD cleared out of old "stuff"- kits I won't use, icky pics that I have 99 copies of to make sure I get 1 or 2 good shots- you know you ALL do it too...How to decide tho. OMG! I want to use em all but no way I can. So delete I have been doing. gasp! Right now there is 2.40 GIG worth of stuff to dump..WOW! Have a LOT more to go but taking baby steps...organize, refile. delete, move...what a job! but I AM determined to get it all done! Having lost 2 EHD's already you would THINK I would have been doing it sooner, but noooooooooo....being the procrastinator extroidinaire that I am have not...till now! Have em ready to go starting tomorrow! WOO HOO!!! Baby steps...HOPE to have EVERYTHING done by Jan 1 so I can start new and fresh for the new year!

Well it is now 4AM....think I better sleep some more...yawn...night...morning,,,where ever ya are!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Started this hrs ago and just now finished..LOL.

Quiet Saturday!

YEAH! I have the house to myself, well besides the dog,birds and rodent....the guys went squirrel hunting...yumm...I'll eat them but hunt and clean em- no way! ICK!
I can't believe it's Say already! As well as the last weekend before Halloween! Where has this month gone! Just means Christmas is right around the corner now....GADS! Ours will be little this year which is ok....with Jon out of work for 5 weeks we have to get back on our feet again. Not doing to bad all in all tho. We had planned to go to Disney but have put it on hold till next year now. Jon likes his new job so far! He's a QA for the new light rail being put in here. He makes sure the cars are put together and are safe to ride. I think I might check if they need someone to check how ADA friendly they are! Wouldn't that be cool!
Think I'm off to clean out more files..OMG! I dumped SO many the last cpl of days. Things I "THOUGHT" were cool but were junk...things I will never ever use but HAD to have- you know we all HAVE kits like that! lol...we're all or were freebie hogs,,grabbing anything and everything we could get our hands on. As time goes on tho we learn what is good and wasn't isn't as good as it should be but people were or are learning the craft. Everyone is new at one time or other!

2am and wide awake!

What else is new!
Well I FINALLY got my new chair but it sucks! BARELY fits thru the door! The delivery guy rips a small hole in the arm rest and tore off the molding bringing it in, no ccushion- its on order- well why the hell did ya bring me the chair then? HELLO! I specifically asked for a short back so my back fat would fit in the seat better- he said no problem- has a full back! Arm rests are WAY to low and I dont think can be raised enough , no seatbelt! HELLO! Who orders a power chair with no seatbelt? Especially if you have a paraplegic using it? The guy is a moron! and I am calling Monday to tell him so too! He never returns phone calls either...Monday is NOT going to be a good day when I go in there.
Onto better news- our Arizona Diamondbacks are in 1st place still by 2 games!!! YEAH!!!! GOOOOOOOO D-BACKS! We're going to the game tomorrow against the Cubs, SHould be a good game IF they get a better umpire in there than Friday nights! OMG! He was SOOOO not consistant with his calls for either team. Wonder who paid him to make bad calls? LOL
