Cool Finds April 19th

Hello everyone,

My cool site for today is Brownie Scraps its a digital website. Brownie scraps has a forum, gallery, a store and a blog. Unlike other digi sites brownie scraps gallery has no rules about posting layouts with other designers kits and encourage you to post links to designer stores. I have been looking for ONE PLACE for all my layouts. I joined yesterday and posted my introduction today. Everyone has been super nice and they are a very active site with many challenges(over 10). I have never tired to speed scrap but I plan to try it. If your thinking about starting to design kits you may want to try there Six Week Designer Challenge! The site store is small but if you are like me you enjoy variety so that's not a problem. Any way check them out!

Happy Easter to all

How Ever you celebrate!

I was at my doctor's office and over heard a young couple talking about how Easter came to be. The young man said "I wonder how Easter started". The young lady stated "it's always been Easter silly". I giggled thinking to myself I know what my beliefs are, but what's the detailed story of Easter. There are always two stories of most holidays religious and pagan (commercial). I believe the religious….. I also have children so we celebrate the commercial too. So I thought the cool finds site
today should give you information about Easter and fun things to do.

I also found few other cute sites for kids…

Missing in action March

March was a busy and crazy month. It was hard to do everything so my blog was odd man out. I decided to just give a glimpse of what was going on in March.

I still have a job. Du bi world and MGM made there payments. Safe for a few more weeks.


My workers comp. finally approved Physical Therapy, did that 3x a week for two weeks. My knee feels 60 % better.

Just everyday stuff

Sometimes you just have to love yourself. I saw a man selling flowers on the side of the road so I bought ME some!

My brother-in- laws TV remote. I giggle every time I see it.

Its HUGE!

Home Improvement family style.

We added ceiling boxes for a light and fan in the kids room.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN!
My dad came to Las Vegas and we celebrated his 74Th birthday

BBQ in the Park

The first warm weekend. All you need is good friends, food and fun.

Cool Finds

Surfin the Internet I find cool sites. Not all are useful to my family but still pretty cool. Since I'm surfing anyway I thought I would post them to my blog, in hopes that it may help a few passing by. I'd like to post one site a week on Saturday or Sunday.
So here the first cool find.

Cool Finds

This is for the Families with young childern, SAHM and or Home Schoolers....

So I'm surfing the net and I come across this site that offers a themed monthly activity guide with recipes, experiments and a recommended reading list for children ages 3-12. My kids are all over 12 years old, but I love idea. So if you are a family with young childern, SAHM or Home school your kids the Book of Days maybe a helpful resource of great activities for your children. I think it could make a great gift also, you could also include one of the books on the reading list.

There blog is pretty cool too.

P.S. I downloaded a copy to review and I think I'll give a gift to someone special and see how she likes it. I'll let you know the out come.

A long couple of weeks

I fell two weeks ago at work. It's called a contusion- a bruised knee.
sometimes it hurts like hell. Especially when my workers comp. doctor twist and turns it! I'm told it could take 4-6 weeks to heal. LESSON LEARNED don't WAIT. If you get hurt at work report it right away. I reported it but thought I would be OK. I didn't get medical treatment right away. Less than a week later I was in so much pain I was crying like a baby. Now I need physical therapy, but I have to wait to be approved. I have medical insurance if I could have gone to my doctor, I would be in treatment right now.

Which leads to my next statement.... What about those people who have no jobs or worse a job but no medical insurance. I don't get into politics on my blog often but I pray President Obama can get some cooperation from congress to help the masses and no just the wealthy.

My brace I don't know if it helps or not. The white thing-- Icy hot pain patch - that works.

Documented boredom.. thank goodness for project 365. I toke a lot of different pictures while waiting to be seen.

I'm on light duty- LOL there is no light duty in construction!

No paid time off. We make good money because on any given day I could get hurt worse than I was and not home at all. I'm thankful my injury was not severe.

Below are the reasons for my knee injury:

I did the right thing reported holes as soon a I saw them, I reported them numerous times to different safety people and not until after my fall did they cover the holes.

Nascar is Here!

Today While I was working I heard what sounded like a train, I turn to look and it was a convoy of trucks blowing their horns as they where escorted by metro traveling to the speedway down Las Vegas BLVD. I'm Not a big race fan but it was cool to see and broke up the workday.
