Long Time, No See!

It's been some time since I've updated my blog--mostly because I didn't have anything particularly exciting to write about. I'm perfectly okay with life being mostly boring if it doesn't include any drama!

I have to admit, though, I'm SUPER excited. We are leaving for a week-long vacation to Florida on FRIDAY. I cannot believe that it is already here. We've been planning this vacation for over a year now. I've never flown or seen the ocean, but I'm going to take care of both of those things in one shot. I don't know that I'm nervous about flying--at least not about myself. I'm nervous about occupying a (nearly) 2-year old for 3 hours in a small space. We didn't buy her a ticket, so she'll be going back and forth between our laps, I'm sure. I'm fine with that, though. I just don't want her acting like a caged wild-thing and wanting to run up and down the isle or something. Aaah! We'll be packing plenty of goodies in our carry-on, for sure.

Tonight, I took Nora to the fire station to take her picture for the annual firefighter's kid's calendar. There was a downpour, so everyone else decided to stay home. Unfortunately, the other dates that were chosen for "photoshoots" won't work for us. I figured I'd try and get a few of Nora, anyway. Ha ha ha. What a joke. The child was in a horrid mood today for some reason. She kept telling us that it was raining. Yes, darling, it is. *sigh* I guess we'll try again when we get back from vacation.

Another random thought--I am attempting to make a digital scrapbook kit. I've gotten sooooo many free things that I thought I'd pay-it-forward. Here's a preview of what I've come up with so far. I think a couple of the "papers" need some more work, but I'm pretty pleased with the elements. While Nora was whining tonight, I took pictures of various things around the fire station. I extracted them from the photos and made them into embellishments. Anyway, here it is:
