"Isn't it Ironic?" --Alanis

The irony of this post is that it will probably describe exactly why I shouldn’t be blogging right now. My little simple life is a little jam packed and I technically should be too busy to blog. But I needed a break from writing…ironic.

Girls Camp is in a week and a half. Lucky me, I am the ward camp director which means I am tracking down registration forms and money and doing lice checks. Eew I am also going to camp as the 2^nd Level Certification Leader. That means I am a glorified babysitter for the week over the 13 year olds. (ooh my favorite age, can you sense the sarcasm?) It also means I am spending hours hunting dollar stores for little trinkets for creative little handouts that will just be thrown away. But it is all in the presentation, right?

So, because I am going away for a week to sing camp songs and plan silly skits, I have to get caught up on work before I leave. So, I am writing like a banshee this week and next in between everything else.

Oh yeah and our Tacoma house is recently vacant and ready for me to clean, paint, and rent out again. But the other drama of being a slum lord has died down. (Ben, hates when I refer to us as slum lords, hehehe) No one wants to sue us anymore and nothing is broken as of this moment in time. Sometimes I wish they all burned down. Now that would be an interesting post.

Sigh…

So, instead of just simplifying life, I decided to get into one more thing that makes me happy. I actually started doing digital scrapbooks. It is SO much fun! It really is so ironic. I write and do layout for a living so I just joined Heritage Makers to write and do layout for a hobby. And here I am taking a break from writing to write and layout my blog. I guess I love what I love.

Anyway, check out my new little love….www.digitalscrapbooksonline.com

I started my 2007 Florida trip. I will post a preview when I get a chance.

One more thing about our life: My sweet Ben is climbing a mountain this weekend. Why, you ask. Well, I don’t know. I imagine he just wants to see if he can do it. So, I am being supportive. The little bugger talked me into making him lasagna to load up on carbs and I will send him and his brother off to Mt Adams tomorrow morning. More on that one later. Wish him luck.

Wish me luck too. I think I will need it to survive July and 25, 13-year olds for a week.
