If I were you, I would…
…stop reading this blog? Because I never manage to update it? Bad me!
In the past 15 days, I have:
1. turned 31 (omg, did I really just confess to that?)
2. traveled to Chicago for 5 days for CHA-Summer (FUN!!!)
3. met 1/2 of the HOFers!! Wow, what an amazing bunch of people! I LOVE these people!
4. scrapped no less than 16 layouts and/or projects (that has got to be a record for me)
5. called Lowe’s 3 times to come fix the lock on our 8-month-old, $1400 sliding door (um, never buy a door from the Lowe’s in Newport News. Ever.)
6. chowed down on a bushel of crabs. YUM! Two tupperwares full of crab meat are still waiting for me in the freezer to be transformed into yummy Maryland crab cakes, the way only a true Maryland girl can make them.
7. Scrapped at Peg’s twice (including tonight. Um, it is nearly 4am right now, and I only got back from her house within the past hour.)
8. carted Gabe to 8 swim lessons and 5 days of soccer camp.
9. paid the bill for the kids’ school. Man, I need a job. Sending two kids to private school is UGLY!
10. ordered two backpacks for Gabe from Pottery Barn Kids. The first one, though they said was for age 7-10, was SUPER small. Ok, not super, but small enough that a second grader can’t use it. And, of course, he just HAD to have it embroidered, which means I can’t return it. Anybody want a really nice backpack w/ the name ‘Gabe’ on it for cheap? Anyone???
There. How’s that for an update. I know I’ve done more exciting things than just that, but that’s all I can think of at 4am. I seriously need to kick myself and get on here more often, maybe post some pics or SOMETHING! Give me a break, though - it is summer, and well, it’s summer! Nobody stays inside and blogs in the SUMMER! lol!

Ok, I came back because, really, I haven’t posted pics in a while. So here’s a couple:
One for the scrappers. 
This one is a part of the HOF group that met for lunch last Friday. We ended up enjoying each other’s company so much that we walked the show floor together all afternoon. Had a great photo op with the new CK editors, Brian Tippets and Britney Mellen (omg - she is the CUTEST little thing, and full of SPUNK!) If you look carefully, you’ll also see Becky Higgins behind me on the right. She was a sweetheart!
And one for the family. Emily’s eyes in this one crack me up. Sorry it is in black and white, but I forgot to change the camera settings when I took it, and the color was BAD BAD BAD. So, b/w to the rescue! (Aren’t they getting so BIG?!?!)
Ok. Really. It’s now 4:10am. I’m going to bed.
