Where did the month go?

I can't believe it's the 15th already and that Thanksgiving is only a week away. Where did the time go? That means that I only have 39 more days to shop for Christmas. ugh! I refuse to shop on Black Friday. The crowds are just riduculous and lately the bargins haven't been all that great. With the state of the economy, I'll bet that there are sales and big ones all season long. So I plan to scrap all day that Friday. And I really have to cuz I haven't gotten my callander done. Since the majority of my blog readers are a pretty tight knit group and know/read each other, does anyone want to maybe do an exchange of some type amongst us? Just puttin out feelers on this one.

Ok, I promised a manatee photo yesterday. There was an underwater observatory at the park.

I have a lot of other photos but they look like big blobs in them. I had a picture of Lu up yesterday, the hippo. Well they make a big deal about staying out of the way when Lu comes out of the water. I thought that this sign was hysterical! Now the next day we went down to see another aunt in Tampa and went to the gulf coast at a little place called Hudson Beach. So I took another shadow photo- this time it's me at the Gulf of Mexico.We had the waitress take this photo. (I used to hate doing that when I waited tables). It was kinda funny cuz another table asked if we were 4 generations. I'm pretty sure my aunts didn't think that was funny cuz only 1 of em is a grandma and I'm 40 so that would make 1 of them have to be pretty old. We all have the same chin so they knew we were related somehow. In case you were wondering, I'm the one with the long hair.

And here is my first vacation layout. I used Heather's Dirt Don't Hurt-It's a Pink Thang. Worked awesome with the flamingos. I would love to get a few more done, but will be gone tomorrow night and Sat.

Big, I mean big game on Sat. against Michigan. It's for all the roses. Even though Ohio State has the better overall record 10-1 vs 8-3, we both have only lost 1 game in the Big Ten. So once again it's down to The Game. It's the biggest rivalry in all of college football. And that was voted on according to ESPN. We'll be back down at the campground for the big game. They open it back up and turn on the electricity and bring in a big screen. Everyone brings lots of food and drink and it's a good old time! So I'll be freezing my butt off this weekend.

Today is the last day to get the current challenges over at OAKS done. Tomorrow starts a new batch so stop on by to see what's going on. Don't forget about the challenges over at DSO and Digital Scrap Garden. I still owe Andrea a lyric layout. I promise I'll have it done by the end of the month. Congrats too! Andrea (Boyerville Scraps) will be joining the zany designers over at DSO starting the 26th. She's movin up!

Ok, gotta go get ready for work. Enjoy your day!

Until next time, Scrap Happy!!!!!!!
