Introducing:
Chace Ryan Wells Our newest grandson born Mar.10. I so can't wait to see him in person and cuddle. Mom and baby are fine. They came home today after mom had to have an emergency C-section. All is fine with both of them. This will be the little announcement I made for his sister to print and take to school to show her classmates.

It's a boy! Introducing:

Chace Ryan Wells!!

Chilly Thursday

Can't believe how chilly it's been here this week, but after all it is Feb, Jon keeps reminding me! News this morning showed some gorgeous photos of the snow in the mountains and rocks in Sedona, just north about an hr and half of us. GORGEOUS photos. Maybe we'll take a drive up there this weekend.

Daughter just called and said they're going to do an ultra sound next week so maybe we'll find out if she's having a little girl or boy- well maybe not so little as she claims she's huge - due Apr 1 ...and of course has been very lax about taking photos no matter how many times I've reminded her- don't forget to take some pics today- yeah I should do that shouldn't I..umm-yeah! LOL she said she'd do some today so we'll see...

Oh police helicopter has been flying over the house REALLY low for about half hr now- guess I should turn on the TV and see what's up with that...just checked and the only thing news worthy on is a bomb scare at the high school a couple miles away. Turned out to be nothing and helicopter is now gone. Why people feel the need to do such stupid ass things!

I've started watching my ABC soaps again after about a 4 yr absence..LOL...a few people but the same dumb stuff happening..One Live to Live Dorian Lord is now married to David Vickers and is a Buddhist..LOL.She's up to something so it'll be fun to follow for awhile. I started watching the ABC's one back when my grandma was still alive- 1973 or so..LOL. thru the 80's when the kids were little- I spent their nap time watching, skipped most of the 90's and up till now- amazing how many are still on and haven't seemed to grow old for the most part- except the kids are all grown and have their own. Makes for cheap entertainment! LOL

American Idol this year is something else too- Some of their choices they picked to keep in were lame- screaming girl OMG!! I SOOOO hope America gets it right and boots her! She can sing fairly good but the screaming has GOT to go! The blind guy is good so I hope he stays...need to learn their names.

Here's a LO I just did for Jill D-zines- pic of my DH Jon.

Wild Wednesday!

Can ya believe Feb is half over already? YIKES! Where do the days go!!

Well I did it!!! I'm all signed up for the 3 Day walk for Breast Cancer! My camping buddy Kathy will be walking with me and be there should I need any help. Here is our page if you would like to check it out! http://www.the3day.org/goto/KarenHalgren
Feel free to look around and if you're so inclined please donate to this VERY worthy cause!!! All donations are tax deductible AND you can make a larger donation and make payments too! What a deal! Feel free to share our page link! Spread the word! lol and if you live in Phoenix and would like to walk with us, let us know! Would love to form a team of scrappers or non scrappers even!

Our weather has gotten SO cold! OMG! I had to turn the furnace on the other day, nights were freezing temps and days only in the 40's...brrrrr....of course for other parts of the country this is a piece of cake. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the snow and ice storms as well as our friends in Australia dealing with the wild fires. Be safe everyone!!!

Ok- off to PT for more pain and torture..LOL

Finally Friday!

Can you believe January is almost over already?!?! Where did the month go?

I did my 2nd visit to get into the pain study with Hope Research- I got in!!! I started my meds this morning- since it's a blind study we don't know if we're getting the real stuff of placebo- I'm hoping for the real thing- as I'm sure anyone in the study is but time will tell. Any relief is better than none at all. The drug they're testing is called Pregabalin- it's sued for Fibromyalgia patients right now with hopes it helps people who have a SCI-spinal cord injury as well. We'll see- will post with the progress.

Still fighting with our Home Warranty company- American Home Shield about getting a camera in here to see why we keep plugging up in our plumbing- SO not happpy with them or the last company sent out! I specifically asked for a camera to be used- they set up with CNJ plumbing and we had the city super here as well- CNJ shows up- NO CAMERA! THEN he tells AHS he snaked the drain- how can you snake when you got no further than the driveway? THEN he changed his story and said the city snaked it! The city doesn't do things like that! So he lied twice! BUT they won't talk to the city super who was here as they don't include 3rd parties! So you mean you take the word of a plumber over your client? Whatever! JOn gave them till 5pm today to get this resolved or we're going to the BBB and our local TV station! This is rediculous! They'll pay to have em come out each time to run the snake but won't pay the $275 to rent a camera to find out WHY it's backing up every 3-4 days...makes NO sense at all! 1st reason they wouldn't run one- we had no outside access- found the access point and now they say they don't do that...We're canceling when this is all resolved and saving our money! TOTAL BS!

Happier news- our laminate floors will be here Monday!!! WooHoo!!! Still have to get a trailer here to put the stuff in yet but we'll get it! then vacuum and we're all set to go. Can't wait!

Happy Inauguration Day!

WOW! It's FINALLY here! Inauguration of our 44th President of the United States Of America! At 10:00AM AZ time Barrack Obama will become our newest president! Who would have thought in our lifetime we would see a black president! I am SOOO excited for him as well as what's ahead for our country! There will be challenges for him but I have TOTAL faith things will turn around for our country! Bush left a mess that's sure but Barrack will get us back on track!
I would SOOO love to be in Washington to be part of this historical event but we'll be here recording it for our future generations to see. Pretty amazing! I have a box of tissues handy as I KNOW it will be a tearful day for me as well as many others. I'm such a baby when things like this happen. Oh heck I cry at anything anymore but this will be a HUGE teary day- happy tears tho! I wish the Obama's ALL the best and look forward to his tenure in the White House.

Our remodel- coming slow but getting there. Our laminate floors will be installed Monday/Tuesday. Can't wait! Then the tile in the bath and finishing touches. Will be nice to be done then get life back on track..LOL.
Our daughter is progressing well in her pregnancy. Due date Apr 1. Her daughter Kaileigh is excited to be a big sister and will be a huge help to mom and dad. I'm hoping to get out there when she delivers or right before.
Spent almost 6 hrs in Ikea yesterday! OMG! That place is AMAZING! and so full of ideas and COOL stuff! I bought 3 cabinets to put in the bathroom for linens. Spent $135 for 3 tall cabinets which is awesome since the ones in Lowes were almost $300! Only thing they didn't have were the shelves but that's a minor detail and cheap enough to get. The savings were worth it.
Back to watching the festivities! Have a GREAT day all as it IS a GREAT day!

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.

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!
