Waiting for Locusts and Boils

Gerard did, as I had expected, wake up at the crack of dawn today. Now he's tired and a bit cranky. And we're supposed to go out to dinner tonight. Argh.

Last night the weird weather continued -- hail, fog, sleet, snow. (Still no tornadoes, though.) And then, at around 9:30 last night, we smelled skunk. Not just a little either. Enough to make our noses and eyes burn. Enough to make our clothes and hair smell. Enough to keep ME awake much of the night. Gerard looked around outside but didn't see anything, and there were no tracks in the snow leading to our house, but the smell was so bad I would've sworn the skunk was IN the house. This morning, OUTSIDE smelled fine, but INSIDE still reaked of skunk. I started getting used to it and hardly noticed it anymore, until we came back from the gym and opened the door. BAM. It hit me. Gross. So I lit some scented Yankee candles. Now the house smells like cinnamon skunk. Sounds yummy, huh? Don't you just wish you were here? So now I'm just waiting for the locusts and boils....

Let's see. What else. We still watch Survivor, although it's getting a little old. I think it has "jumped the whale" as my Dad would say (I know it's "jumped the shark"). Grey's Anatomy was a repeat last night so I got to finish another scrapbook page. Here it is:
red background paper created using an overlay by Nancie Rowe Janitz
flower trim (recolored) by Nancie Rowe Janitz
staples by Michelle Coleman
torn paper action by Atomic Cupcake
fonts are Cooper Black and Pea Katie

Oh! Oh! Oh! I almost forgot to mention what Debbie got me for my birthday!!! Only the coolest present ever! She bought me my OWN FONT! Isn't that cool! You can see what I mean here:


I can't wait to be able to use my own handwriting on my layouts!

Well, that about wraps it up around here. Hope you all have a nice weekend!

Cinammon Skunk? Ewwww. Somehow I don't think that Yankee Candle will be beating down your door to pick up that scent.

Cute page, as always! And I'm glad you like your present :) I've been sitting on that idea for a while and I almost forgot it the other day when I realized it was almost your birthday! You might want to wait to plug the company until you actually see how your font turns out, though! I hope you like it!

OK, plug away for the company! I think your font is awesome, and he had such a quick turnaround.

Just think -- on next year's holiday cards you can have something like "Love, A, G, M, & G" printed on them that looks like you wrote it and you won't have to write anything at all, just have them printed and mail them!
