I've been busy working on Tyson's scrapbook. I was a year behind, but now I'm only 50 weeks behind. Arrrgh. It just takes me forever to put pages together because I'm such a perfectionist and I like to plan everything out. But I enjoy being creative and love looking at the final product. I bought a new tool a few days ago: an instant setter that punches holes, sets eyelets and embosses. I got it to learn how to set eyelets actually because I've seen samples of them but never understood how to apply them. Then at the Scrapbook Station on Saturday, a lady there told me how you need a tool to crush down the back of the eyelet. So I did my first page last night with them and it turned out nicely. My goal now is to work on at least one page everyday, and at that rate, I don't know when, if ever, I will catch up to the present!
Okay, so I was curious and mapped it all out. If I complete 2 months of memories each month, I'll be all caught up by next September 2007. But that's all right. As long as I try to work a little bit each night and not go so long without doing something. The last time I did scrapbooking was back in June. Then I quit until last month.
I haven't had time to watch any movies though. I've had three Netflix DVDs sitting in the living room for almost two weeks now. I'm about to go watch last Thursday's
Ugly Betty and
Grey's Anatomy on tape, even though it's almost 3 a.m. My sleep cycle is really screwed up now.
I tried taking that Rozerem, but it is awful. Dr. L gave me a few samples when I saw her a couple months ago. I'm going to have to get some Ambien, but nowadays I'm afraid it'll knock me out so bad that if Ty was crying or the smoke detector went off, I'd have no idea and that's quite scary actually. So I'm just on my own schedule with no obligations to anyone or nowhere to be, although tomorrow I definitely need to go grocery shopping, something I absolutely do not enjoy.
One more note. Tyson was so cute last night for Halloween. I dressed him up as an old school aviator (costume found at Party America). Then at Babies R Us, I found this chocolate brown faux suede jacket with lambswool collar and cuff. He looked perfect! We went trick or treating for about an hour, but not here in the ghetto. No way! We went over to Peggy and Gordon's neighborhood and we all trick-or-treated together with their two kids. It was chilly out, somewhere in the upper 30s or lower 40s I guess. Ty did a good job holding out his pumpkin for everyone to drop treats in (for me to eat of course!).
That is all for tonight. I will try to write again later this week. Remind me to talk about Del!
