Question bloggers

Okay bloggers...Comcast has raised their prices across the board (GRRRRRRR) and I have a TV that hasn't worked in like a year (despite me calling several times) and they want to charge me 50 dollars to fix it. This is the LAST straw, I dislike their service, I dislike that they raise their prices (which I am behind now since I do automatic billing), WHO can I use????? I left ATT for the same reason and would only go back for uverse but note Uverse isn't available at my address

Procrastination

I am the WORST procrastinator, and you would think that since I can admit it I would do something about it, but no. I am super lazy when left to my own devices and napping sounds so much better than doing the other things that beckon. My poor house was promised that I was going to clean it on Saturday and DO laundry, have either of these been done? Nope.

Any tips peeps?

Swimming...

We made the local paper!


Yep, about MY swim team. Proud coach right here :)

Hmmm

So for those who don't know me...I am slightly lactose intolerant. I can have dairy products, but not straight milk or heavy laden dairy products (even though I do...not a good idea). I haven't drank regular milk in years, I drank soy for awhile (and LOVED it) but I am worried about drinking too much soy (health effects). I have tried almond milk (Gross), recently coconut milk (vanilla flavor)-GROSS as well. Any suggestions cyber world?

New Addiction...

I ended 2011 with conquering a fear and making new memories. Along with a camp friend we went to Lake Lanier Islands to do zip lining. The only other time I have EVER zip lined was at camp and wasn't too happy with the climb up the ladder/pegs BUT loved zip lining. So off we went...I LOVED it. It is ALL I can think of now and can't wait to go back and zip line. I am already planning on going in February (winter break) and really would love to go ever or ever other month and conquer all their zip lines. So in February I plan on doing the same one and finding someone to go with me!! Here are some pictures, I didn't take my camera due to being freaked out and hugging the tree so thanks to SARAH I got pictures!

Getting Nervous waiting to be called to go zip lining!

Getting all the rules and about to get "dressed"

All suited up, feel secure and ready to zip...I think

Thanks Sarah for inviting me and taking pictures!

All new meaning to "tree huger"

Out of order, but getting ready for the first zip!

HERE I GO!!!!

I just did WHAT?! and I kept asking "So I just sit right?"

Pinterest Activity Number Two

So for those who know me know that I LOVE cards, I hate throwing them away. I always take chem to pick out the perfect card and I know others do as well. I honestly love cards and hate just throwing them away, they were sent with love and I want to keep that with me. So after this Christmas I was feeling crafty and started looking online and found this amazing way to keep my cards, but make them useful. I now have TWO new Christmas decorations and plan on making new one's each year.

Tips
-Print the main body part on cardstock
-Put together the main body, I used hot glue, I just LOVE hot glue!
-after cutting out the template for the cards (I just printed on regular paper to save money) I traced it on one card and then cut it out and used it as a template for the rest.
-Trace ALL the cards first- hassle I know...but worth it!
-Cut out the cards
-Put them together (use hot glue...so easy!)
-Fold them down (as instructed) and glue them onto the main body
-Be amazed at how EASY it is, and how wonderful it looks

Here is mine (ignore the hot glue strands...still cleaning it up)

DIY Family Sign

So I have become OBSESSED with Pinterest, my first thing I did with pinterest (as in actually making something from it and not just pulling worksheets for my class) was a Christmas gift for many of my family members.  Just thought I would show it and give tips and advice if you would like to try it as well.

- Cut the tile apart with an X-acto knife
-Remove the backing (it looks SO much better with the backing removed)
-Lay out the tiles how you want to do it- takes longer but SO worth it!!
-Uses slimmer letters and smaller numbers (I didn't use the numbers at all the people said they liked it better without the numbers)
