July 31, Thursday.................Today is my last "picture a day". So I thought it was appropriate that my last picture be of me at my computer. This is where everynight I upload my pics to my blog. This has been a really fun challenge!! I have documented things that I never would have.

July 30, Wednesday.....................I know this seems like a strange pic, but yesterday I slept in my bed!! If you know me, you know I have slept on a recliner for 4 1/2 years. When I got pregnant in 2004 I started having panic attacks during the night, so I would sleep in the recliner. I lost the baby but having an ulcer and such I sleep better in a chair. So I never went back to my bed. But with all my neck problems and headaches I really needed to try and sleep in bed. I bought a couple GOOD pillows and tried it and I slept pretty good! I still have to be propped up but it has got to be better then a recliner. It will just take my body a while to adjust. Oh, and I never make my bed so I wanted to take a realistic picture. hahahah

July 29, Tuesday..................The new Star Gate movie came out today!!! The Star Gate TV series ended a couple years ago, but they have made a couple straight to video movies. Ryan waited patiently for me to get home from work tonight so we could watch it. Soooo good!!!!! I can't wait to watch it again!!! (yah, yah, I am a star gate lover too.....haha)

July 28, Monday......I look like a robot!!! hahahah This is me getting an eye exam. With my headaches still not going away, I went to the eye doctor. I have not had an exam in over 5 years!!! But still my prescription has not changed and she said my eyes are perfectly healthy. That is good of course, but why are my eyes hurting so bad?????? I have had to wear my sunglasses everywhere.........

July 27, Sunday...................I am finally getting my hair cut!!! I have been growing it out for months but have been wanting to cut it. My dilemma has been do I get it trimmed but still able to put it up or cut it all off. I have had really short hair most of my life, so this has been weird but fun having it long. So I decided to just have it shaped. I think it looks really cute!!! She about 3 inches off and angled it in the front. I will try and post an "after" pic soon. Oh and her hand looks so weird!!! She was moving while we took the pic. hahah

July 27, Saturday...............This is my cousin Grant and his new bride Ashley! We all went to dinner with Denise and Rich at Mimi's Cafe. So yummy!!! Ryan ordered the wrong dinner for Denise. So she was stuck with Turkey instead of her roast beef. haha She liked it but we still gave Ryan a hard time about it......

July 25, Friday..............Here is my mom and I at the convention. This is not our "official" weekend to be there, but we live so close and my grandparents were there, so we wanted to visit them. This is a pretty bad pic but on my camera is didn't look that bad. haha My mom got some pics too, so hopefully hers is better.............we sat in those seats right there. We have never sat so close to the stage! But, big shock, the lights gave me a horrible headache! Right after this pic was taken, I put on my sunglasses and then wore a sun visor during the sessions.

July 24, Thursday........Our company is here!! This is my friend of 23 years!! Her and her adorable husband came for the weekend. We have a religious convention just 5 minutes from us and they live 2 hours away. So every year they stay with us. It is fun! And look what they bought us!! It is Battlestar Galactica Season 3. We love BSG!!!

July 23, Wednesday.................Our house is clean!!! haha We had company coming Thur-Monday, so I had to spend a while cleaning. It seems the only time we have a really clean home is when company is coming. hahah

July 22, Tuesday...........Tonight I taught the Technique Tuesday class. Once a month we have a class to learn different stamping techniques using their stamps and ideas from their website. It is alot of fun and we have a good group of ladies. And Stacey watches the register while I do it. :) Isn't this a great page?????? Hmmm...who is that lady with me???? :)

July 21, Monday................Monday night is our "date night". We don't usually go out but just hang out together. So tonight we went in the pool! It is fuzzy cause it was 8:30pm, almost dark. But no one is there and they play jazz music, lights in the pool, very romantic........And without the distractions of the TV and computer, we get to just talk. And get some exercise. It is so nice........ (oh and you should have seen me trying to get this pic! Set the timer then CAREFULLY run down the pool steps.....hahah)

July 20, Sunday.......Ryan "Thanking the academy" for his Oscar. hahah We went to wal-mart today (which I HATE!!) but we needed things that I just can't get cheaper anywhere else. Darn it! But it was actually kinda nice to get out of the house for a bit. And I got a Sonic slushie!! So all is good. :)

July 19, Saturday..............Ok, I didn't do anything all day but watch TV and eat popcorn. I am trying to get rid of my headache, ok!!!! :) But it was a really nice day with Ryan.

July 18, Friday.........I had to work the crop at the store today. As you can see from my sunglasses and visor, I still have my migraine.....but I made it through the night. The lady next to me is our friend Gayle and next to her is my mom. They come to every crop we have. But I am always so busy that I never get to crop with them anymore. haha But they have fun! And I get pizza, so all is well......

July 17, Thursday................This is me on the chiropractor table. My savior!! I am trying to make my week long migraine go away!!! It has helped a little so far, but I will know more in the morning. You should have seen me trying to take this pic! I used the timer. The first one I took of half my body. hahahah

July 16, Wed................This is my friend, Mari. She made this LO to enter in a page contest for a magazine. Isn't it amazing??? This is just a couple pattern papers, cardstock and stickers. She did all of it by hand. Including the steering wheel and road!! I am sure she will win!!

July 15, Tuesday................I had a really bad headache today!! It got so bad I had to put my sunglasses on, the light was hurting me. When I would ring a customer up, I would hurt at every beep. If I still have it in the morning, I am going to the dollar tree and getting a sun visor! I have to work 10am-7pm again and don't want to be in such pain ALL DAY!

July 14, Monday...............Ryan has been wanting a fake tree for so long!! And Michael's had a great sale. I can't even tell you what a deal we got!!!! Look how happy he looks!! haha It is sitting in the corner of our dining room, covering the ugly electrical panel. :)

July 13, Sunday..........Ok, this is all I did all day....I was feeling very worn out and under the weather, and have a big week ahead of me. So I just slept then got up and ate and watched a movie then slept again.....And Ryan made me lunch and a great pot roast dinner!! He watched the movies with me and layed on the couch with me.......It was so nice and well needed!

July 12...........Ryan worked so hard on him room today! He is a HUGE Star Trek fan, and so these are his models that he did years ago. And these are all his star trek books. Every place we have lived in has not had a spot for them. So I am very excited that he has finally been able to put them all up!!!

July 11.........The strangest things happen at the store! haha I know it is hard to tell in the pic, but the EXIT sign above the front door fell! It was hanging by 2 wires. One of our employee's husband (George to the rescue) came and taped it to the wall, so hopefully it will stay until maintenance can fix it on Monday.

July 10.......... 9 years ago today Ryan and I kisses for the first time!! And we have been kissing ever since....haha (gesh, I am still not use to me in long hair!!)

July 9.........This is my boss's daughter. She was pouring her bottled water into the ladel (spelling???) She said it was her water spoon.....so funny!!! I love when she visits the store! She brightens up my day! This day she priced every box of adhesive we had!! A good worker! haha She asked me if I had something fun for her to do? Then she said, well it doesn't have to be fun, just regular work would be ok......hahahah

July 8...........Yah, yah, I play webkinz......so this is me sitting watching Burn Notice, selling Ryan's strawberries....hahah Exciting night, huh????

July 7..........Ok, I did nothing fun, just laundry so that is the picture I took. oh well....hahah

July 6........Mari & I cropped all day!! She came over for lunch (the awesome bagel sandwiches we discovered!) and then we cropped 'till 9:30pm!! We got tons done! We talked alot too. haha We worked on our monthly albums. And ate alot!!! haha It was fun.

July 5th............So many pictures!!! I just printed over 2oo. And am cropping all day tomorrow, so I spent most of today sorting pictures....whew! I am tired!

July 4th................I had a real dinner!! Of course I didn't make it. hahah We went to my parents house for dinner and she made meatloaf. mmmmm.....It was awesome!

July 3rd........Today I made a bracelet!! In our Creative Cafe area, we now have square or round bracelet's that you decorate with epoxy stickers. So cute!! And it only takes 5 minutes.

July 2nd....... Can you guess what I am eating and why I have a huge smile????? It is the new Wendy's maple biscuit with bacon, egg & cheese. YYUUUMMMYYYY!! I am never up early enough to get it, but this morning I had to work the morning shift (actually all day)...... I was sooo tired this morning so I was hoping it would help me get through the day (along with a large Sprite & coffecake muffin) and it sure did!!

July 1st......I am doing a pretty cool challenge on House of Paper. A month in the life of Amy!! haha I have to take a picture everyday in July and here is my first picture!! Most of you know that I am the Store Manager of our local store, Scrappy Boutique! This is Angelia, our AWESOME class instructor!! I worked the class tonight. Angelia did a 4 page Beach LO. Very cool! I just worked the whole time. :( hahah It was a nice night.
