Yikes, still not feeling much better. I was back to work on Thursday for half a day but stayed home on Friday again. Each time I walk I feel like I have aged 50 years. It's back to work starting on Monday. I hope I hear soon from the physical therapy and can get started as I really, really want to get rid of this "darn" pain!!!
The temperatures are still around 100. It's pretty unbarable without A/C. I can't wait for fall to come :)
A/C is definitely the next project on the list! The backyard will have to wait!!!!
Not much going on in my little world... I have been reading a lot this past week and have rested as doctor suggested... so a lot of relaxation but not really anything exciting going on.

Back to work for me tomorrow
OK, it's back to work for me tomorrow. I was supposed to rest my back and legs two more days but just checked my email at work and I have a deadline I need to meet tomorrow by noon. I just need to make sure to take the pain pills at work, not move around too much as that is what shots pain in my legs and just to take it easy....

Update
OK, it's been a while since I updated my blog... to be honest, I have been debating if I should keep it or if I should get rid of it. I decided to try to update it on a more regular basis for one more month and see how things are going.
1) Got my back injured and are laying in bed right now, with the laptop on my lap. Thank heaven for technology ourdays. I did some power cleaning last week and hurt my back and must have pinched a nerve as the pain is going right to my leg and to the knee. No fun! Each time I move around, its shoting pains right into my leg! Yikes. Saw the doctor on Monday and am on anti-inflamatory medication and some other drugs to releave the pain.
2)Hubby has decided he wants to go back to school. I am so excited for him ... He has looked into a Bachelors degree at the University of Phoenix for ITT. We are waiting to hear some information on his VA bill to decide if we can bare the expenses right now and if he can start classes on Saturday. Not much time to take a decision... but this is the last time that they are starting classes at the Woodland Hills location, so it would be wonderful location wise. Otherwise he would have to go to the campus somewhere in West Los Angeles. Some classes are online, others are on campus. Now we are just waiting to hear back on the VA stuff. Jer did some research on the internet and found some wording that can be interpreted two different ways...
*either you receive $xxx or you have to use the $XXX within 10 years, whatever is less... We are wondering if you have to have the education completed within 10 years or if you are ok to just start drawing the $ within 10 years. This will defintely decide if we can do it right away or if we will need to look at another way to make schooling become reality. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out and that he can go back! I am so excited... after I have been bugging him for years to go back to school, I finally started about 2 years ago... and now he decided himself he wants to go back! So much for bugging, huh??
3) Went to the Hollywood Bowl for the very first time on July 16th with Inken, Andy, Barbara and 2 of Andy & Inken's friends from MusicCare. We had seats in a booth - amazing! Can't wait to go back there soon :)
4) The kitchen is moving along... we got a call from Lowe's today that the cabinets are supposed to be in on July 29th. We are supposed to get a call from the manufacturer to deliver the goodies and than the installers are coming over for inspection and to determine if they cabinets are ok or if some of them need to be returned. We are moving along... can't wait to FINALLY see the finished project. It feels like ages that we had a kitchen and it's funny, all I am craving are the simple things, like a homemade soap. Eating out is fun, but if you do it for an extended period of time, it's getting very tiring. <----- REMINDER, once we have our kitchen back!!! It's fun to eat at home LOL!
5) Awe.... just got the new class schedule from ML for their August - October classes. They are offering the lighting class Ang, Inken and I wanted to take in middle of October. Keeping my fingers crossed that Inken is not on vacation during that time, but I have a bad feeling for some reason... I hope that we will be able to go thought! The first class we took "F-stops" was absolutely fabulous!
6) I SWEARRRRR, and you can quote me... one of our next home remodeling projects will be an A/C!!!! It's so darn hot right now (in the 100's) that we can barely breath! We are trying to survive with fan and water spray bottles, but it's no piece of cake! Yikes!!! I can't wait for fall to come but I doubt that it's around the corner!
... thats about it... hoping that the pain is finally going away! I want to be able to walk again without feeling a sharp pain go down my leg! Just moving without jumping and getting tears in my eyes!!!

Stamp Convention
:) Back home from the Stamp Convention in Carson. Inken and I had so much fun! It's been the 4th stamp convention I have been too and I always feel on a treasure hunt... Setting a budget simply doesn't work... there are just too many great stamps out there... We ended up with (let's not count them) stamps, new ink pads and new easy mount. And best of all.... we got the entire evening to play around!!!!

A day at the beach
We just got back from a day at the beach... here we are living so closed to it but barely ever going to the beach. Today was so relaxing and fun that we decided to leave the beach chairs in the car and head down there more often. The ocean breeze was wonderful and it was so relaxing to sit and read, and just to chill! On our shopping list is a beach umbrella so we can stay a little longer next time.
I can feel that my skin got some color, although it probably will be turning red and turning in a little "army" of freakles! Finally at peace with my red hair and slowly but surely getting to accept the freakles ... unless they multiply in unknown numbers and in high speed....
All in all this has been a great weekend. Yesterday we went to the outlet mall in Camarillo, to the library and to the movies. ... and tomorrow we are getting together with Marie & Scott for a 4th of July BBQ!!

How technology has changed in my lifetime
This month's destination at Scrapsahoy was Greece and the theme was time. The first thing that popped in my mind was how technology had changed in my lifetime.
I am not that old - LOL, but in my 32 years on this planet I have seen a lot of changes in technology:
* I will never forget the first time dad came home with a gigantic box and told us he had purchased a VCR. Back than VCR's were rare and rather expensive. Mom's face lit up with pure joy and Sabine and I just stood around looking at the silver monster not sure what to think of it.
* I studied law only for 4 semesters but I remember typing my first term paper on a typewriter that was equipped with a floppy disk! Back than I felt like it was "hot stuff". When I moved on and studied Business, I got my very first PC and remember that it completely intimidated me for the longest time. I was scared to death that pushing the wrong bottom would delete everything but on the other side was intrigued at the possibilities it offered....
* Than came internet... years ago while still living in Germany we a monthly internet fee and also phone charges based on how long you stayed on the net. The purpose back than was to gather information as quickly as possible and get out of the internet ASAP. Nowadays.... I couldn't imagine a day without the net. It connects me to information, friends, to sites where I can share my passion about scrapbooking and stamping and to email that has become very important esp. since the 9 hours time difference to Germany doesn't allow me during the week to call home as either my family is asleep or at work or I am.
* My first CD player... and my first CD's. I still remember that I purchased "The Cure" and "The Smiths" and was so excited. Look at us now... now it's downloading music from the internet and IPods (yes, and I still have my eyes on that Photo Ipod)~smile
* Cellphones - for some a curse for others indispensible. There has been much discussion about driving and cellphones... my take on it is that yes, they can distract a driver but so can other people in the car, food to are trying to eat, music you are listening too... I like using my cellphone on my way home from work to stay in touch with friends. The commute is stop and go traffic and it's nice to make the drive a little more enjoyable.
* Medicine - still waiting for the cure of cancer and hoping to see it in my lifetime. Technology has progressed so much that I am convinced that one day (hopefully soon) someone finds this cure.
My list could go on and on...
I am curious to see what technology has in stock for us in the next few years! ... and of course on top of my list is that I am praying for cures in medicine!

Pottery Barn - I can "just" see this in my scrapping room
BloggerBot
Awe... looking at this makes me want to go and order it right away. I have been peaking at this for a few months now... and I can "just" picture it in my scrapping room. The color would be perfect ....
We are finally back online... the last couple of days have been more or less a hit and miss... since we have the laptop our DSL has been crazy... each time we turned the PC on it went directly to a black screen... DH was wonderful! I don't think I would have been able to figure it all out, but once we de-installed the DSL, things started to run more smoothly... so I am finally back... keeping those fingers and toes (yes toes) crossed that it stays that way...
I got 2 emails yesterday... one from Scrapbook Trends for a layout and one for Paper Trends for a gift idea! It's so nice to open up the email and find these in my inbox!! Just had to share my excitement!
Forth of July weekend: Planning to:
BBQ
Movies
Relax
Maybe take a little trip to the beach
and just have a blast! 3 days to kick back and enjoy!
Happy 4th of July!!!! Enjoy!!!

Quick update
I am back :) We had a few computer issues the past few days and our DSL was not up and running.... so just a quick update as I have a pile of emails to go through:
1) Lowe's was out to measure the kitchen on Thursday. We only have to make a few minor changes to our kitchen design.
2) We had an appointment scheduled to order the cabinets today. Jer and I were at Lowe's and I picked up a chainsaw joking around "KILL ME NOW OR KILL ME LATER" ... (I wish I had my camera with me!!!). Well it turned out that the measurements were not yet with the design department, so my fear and stress level of dropping this much money at onces was normal again once we learned we had to come back. LOL! Most people would probably have a little fit, but guess what I felt a little bit of relief. Silly me, as we really want to move forward with the kitchen... eating out is getting old and all I am longing for is to have my kitchen back. Ahhhh, a few more days to rethink the cabinet style and color... I am going back and forth!
3) I got a new PC at work yesterday and was able to leave one hour early. Lucky me, huh? The ISD people came at 3 p.m. and since the installation took one hour and I am leaving at four anyways, I got to leave early. That and coming in this morning and having a little "race" machine on my desk really made my day! I just love new and upgraded "technology stuff". (guess a little someting I inherited ...)
4) Stamp convention - the countdown is on... only 1 1/2 more weeks to go! Can't wait!!!!
5) Time to run and take care of a few things! More later!

Our trip to San Diego
Our trip to the SD Scrapbook Expo:
Inken and Sven picked my up at 7 a.m. We headed over to Stevenson Ranch to meet up with Ang at Starbucks. After a cup of coffee/tea we hit the road at 7:45 a.m. We decided to take the 210 instead of the 5 or 405 in order to get around traffic and were lucky. We made it to San Diego in 2 hours and 45 min. It was really hard to find parking as the entire Convention Center lot was already closed since there were not more spaces available. We were lucky and found a lot not to far from the convention center.
Inken's brother Sven was a trooper!!! I think he was one of the very few male visitors :)
We did some shopping and looking around and stayed at the convention for about 2 - 3 hours. Afterwards we decided to drive up to Carlsbad for a nice luncheon close to the beach. We found a lovely italian place and had a great lunch! More shopping... we ended up dragging Sven to Ever After in Carlsbad and on our way back stopped at Scrapbook Oasis in Irvine. We got back to Stevenson Ranch at around 8 p.m. all tired and exhausted. The trip was a blast!!

Mood O Meter
I had a blast creating this little tag - my mood-o-meter - today.
I thought it would be a fun little item to showcast my daily moods :) So here it goes... I finally figured out a way to put it in the sidebar (and it didn't even take me 3 hours LOL)

An unexpected email that made me happy!
I received a very unexpected email last week from my friends Ock Hee and Jee Hee. We lived together in Tours/France for 6 months while attending "L'Institute de Touraine" to study French in 1996! We shared a lot of stories, laughers and wonderful times together. After the 6 months, Ock Hee moved to Paris to study art, Jee Hee moved to Paris to study fashion and I went to Paris for 3 months to work in Euro Disneyland before returning to Germany to go back to university. Our ways parted but we kept in touch. A few years ago, while moving I lost all my addresses and was never able to get some of them back... one of them was Ock Hee's. Can you imagine my excitement when my parents emailed me that Ock Hee had contacted them asking for my contact information. Within a few days a few emails went back and forth... in English, in French, trying to see what each of us had been up to these past years. It's wonderful to hear from a special friend again after all this time... feels like coming home!
OK, my french is really, really bad now... I can read and understand some of it, but can't really compile sentences anymore... but here it goes... to Ock Hee and Jee Hee:
Je penses toujour à toi et tu me manques beaucoup!! Je t'embrasse très fort et à bientôt!!!!

Life is precious - make the most out of each day!
I just learned today that the son of one of our coworkers passed away at 22. My heart goes out to him and his family! I feel unbelievable sad and without words ...and once again reminded how precious life is! Reminded to make the most of each and every day! Live life to it's fullest and be good to your family and friends! Make moments last and remember that life is a precious gift! Time to go and hug my husband and tell my family how much I love them! And time to be grateful for every single day!!!

Things that make me happy
I have been working on an "All about me" album lately. This is another layout for my album! I never thought it would be so much fun to do an entire album about me, but it's been a blast! I can only recommend to work on an album about yourself. Imagine how much your children and family will treasure knowing more about YOU!

Weekly update in German
Hallo Ihr Lieben - obwohl wir heute schon telefonier haben, habe ich beschlossen ein kurzes woechentliches update in deutsch zu machen:
1) Die Kueche geht gut voran. Wir sind fast fertig. Ein paar kleine Probleme mit den elektrischen Leitungen ... Gestern abend um 7:30 kamen die Elektriker nochmal aber habe das Problem leider nicht beheben koennen! Jetzt koennen wir nur hoffen und beten, dass sie die Waender nicht nochmal aufreissen muessen!
2) Unser Treffen mit Lowes ist fuer Donnerstag nachmittag angesetzt, um nochmal alles genau zu vermessen ...
3) Wie ich ja am Telefon schon erzaehlt habe, habe ich nochmal 2 Anfragen von Scrapbook Magazinen bekommen. Einmal fuer 3 Seiten und einmal fuer 2 Sachen. Ich bin total happy.
4) Ahhhh, am liebsten waere ich jetzt mit Sabine, Markus und den Kindern im Urlaub!!!
5) Ich wuensche Papa eine ganz, ganz schnelle Besserung! Ich mache mir Sorgen um sein Knie!!! und hoffe, dass es schnell wieder besser wird!
6) Habe mit Jeremy gesprochen um rauszufinden wie lange die Genesung bei seiner Mutter gedauert hat... Leider hatte er auch keine genauen Details, aber er hat mir von seinem Mitarbeiter erzaehlt der ein kuenstliches Kniegelenkt vor 3 Jahren bekommen hat. Der Genesungsprozess hat 3 - 6 Monate gedauert, aber sein Mitarbeiter hat gemeint, dass es sich immernoch nicht 100% anfuehlt. Ich glaube ich wuerde mir auf alle Faelle noch weitere Befunde einholen! Mit so einer grossen OP will man ja nicht zu leichthalsig umgehen!
7) Wann kommt Ihr mal wieder???? Die Kueche ist in ca. 6-7 Wochen fertig??
Ihr fehlt mir! Bussi Bille

5) Ich wuensche Papa eine ganz, ganz schnelle Besserung! Ich mache mir Sorgen um sein Knie!!! und hoffe, dass es schnell wieder besser wird!
6) Habe mit Jeremy gesprochen um rauszufinden wie lange die Genesung bei seiner Mutter gedauert hat... Leider hatte er auch keine genauen Details, aber er hat mir von seinem Mitarbeiter erzaehlt der ein kuenstliches Kniegelenkt vor 3 Jahren bekommen hat. Der Genesungsprozess hat 3 - 6 Monate gedauert, aber sein Mitarbeiter hat gemeint, dass es sich immernoch nicht 100% anfuehlt. Ich glaube ich wuerde mir auf alle Faelle noch weitere Befunde einholen! Mit so einer grossen OP will man ja nicht zu leichthalsig umgehen!
7) Wann kommt Ihr mal wieder???? Die Kueche ist in ca. 6-7 Wochen fertig??
Ihr fehlt mir! Bussi Bille
She is back home!!!
I am so excited and happy that my friend Inken is back home!!! It's been a little lonely without her! I missed our chatters and get togethers!
We met yesterday for a few hours and I am just thrilled to have her back! Nothing that can beat "time with girlfriends"!!!

I admit I am completely addicted
OK, had to jump back on quickly - Can you believe it??? I ordered Heidi Swapp stuff today... I think I am better not telling how much the total rang up to, but I am just so darn excited! I love her line! The colors, the design, just everything! And now I hardly can't wait to get the goodies and start playing....

10 Things that make me happy right now!
1.) A little time in front of the PC all to myself right now
2.) Diet coke in front of me (I guess, I am not high maintenance LOL)
3.) Getting ready to do a fun little layout once I am done here
4.) Only 2 more days off work and the weekend is here
5.) The kitchen is moving along great... can't wait to see the finished product
6.) I was able to spend some time with Ang yesterday. We had coffee and went to Maggianos for dinner.
7.) Inken will be back in town on Friday - FINALLY (I miss you girlfriend, can't wait to have you back home)
8.) Listening to Launchcast plus while typing... wow, my feet are moving along and my fingers are literally dancing on the keyboard.
9.) Hubby should be home shortly YEAH
10.) Finally talking to mom and dad again this weekend. Missed their voices last weekend since they were in Berlin!
More soon... for now I am grabbing my diet coke and relocating to the scrapping desk.
