I mean, the older you get and the closer you get before your body no longer pops out the monthly ovum, does PMS get worse? The reason I ask is that yesterday I was happy. Tra la la foof foof foof hop skippity skip and when I woke up this morning I was like a bear with a sore head. I was well aware that I was at the point of gritting my teeth when I spoke but I couldn't help myself. I physically had to extract my carcass from the vicinity of my innocent (well, kind of) kids! For their own sake! To save them from ME!
The fact that only 2 of 4 sports uniforms are accounted for and forms were handed to me for signature 30 seconds before we left for school was enough to set my jaw. OH! Lord help me! Give me a pill or something! And if that's not bad enough, motorists beware! And WHAT ON EARTH was Angelina thinking when she doned that GREEN jewellery for the Oscars????
Counting....2, 3, 4... finding my centre... life is good... positivity-ness-ination...
Ok, I can show this one now.
Remember this?
Well, here it is in its glory. Sketched! for February at Scrapbooks etc.
I have 3 sisters. This was before the youngest one was born. That's me on the right in case you're wondering. Maori bloodline and all of that throw-back kind of stuff.
And a very dear friend of mine sent me this today. Perhaps not the best time for me to open it up given my current frame of mind. Apparently, if you're successful the ball is supposed to change colour. Yeah right! Everyone is just trying to trick me today!
Here's today's Project 365.
'Creative Fallout'. That's just a positive statement for 'I'm messy bugger". Here's SOME of the rest of it...
Ok... I can feel myself starting to twitch so I'm off to grab the Dyson. I'll put on some lippy and a smile while I'm cleaning up.
Katherine... there is 1/4 of my zone. It gets... more interesting...
ARGH!!! That ball!!! Guess its not a good day for me doing it either.... Totally lovin' your zone. WOW! and that's just 1/4 - cool..... am I totally weird for loving your cupboards LOL. Is that a chocolate tin in the top corner.... Arh... inspirational. Is that as messy as you get? Come on - show us more.... yippee! Oh yes that sisters layout is stunning. Totally stunning. Finally - yes I totally agree - what was she thinking when putting on those GREEN things - classy until then. Diamonds Angelina.... diamonds.... surely she can afford them can't she?????

Deep breaths....find your happy place....maybe on a beach somewhere with a nice cocktail and HOT men waiting on you hand and foot...feeding your grapes and massaging away your PMS. Oh wait is that my happy place?

I believe the stars are wearing diamonds as promotional items on loan from jewellers wanting to get their wares into the most popular event in Hollywood. I don't think the actors actually OWN half the the things they are photographed in. Even less so at the Oscars.
My scrap area was constructed using our old kitchen cabinets after we renovated.
Yeah... it gets a LOT worse on top of the bench.

Melinda! We were posting at the same time! Did you know that grapes make you fart? SO having some "HOT men waiting on you hand and foot...and massaging away your PMS" could may well go up in a puff of GREEN smoke! haa!
Posted by: Lynette van Barrelo | 24 February 2009 at 11:36 AM
LOL - I just learnt something off your last post Lynette - grapes hey......
I know they are so shocking rich and yet they can't purchase their diamonds - cheapskates.....
ps. Love what you are doing with the Scrapbooks Etc Blog - good work.

Hehehe, maybe that's my problem, being in a permanent state of PMS. I just get the grouchies and nothing will snap me out of it, not even my year 6 & 7 boys dancing along to a sounds song - just picture it, hip hop dancing to a boppy little song b, bb; c, ck; d, dd; f, ph; gg, g... Must stop being ms grumpy pants!

No Lynette don't go towards the light. Stay away from the PMS light, it is dangerous. Isn't life so disgusting it starts with hormones (which comes with pimples), then it creates children (who also come with pimples), and when you are not looking it sends you into a downward spiral to anger and sheer memory blankness (so who can remember pimples). All the time hoping that along the journey you don't KILL someone. OMG is it the red sports car next.
Love the link to the ball - that string is just nasty!!!!!

I guess the PMS monster depends on each chick and her circumstances. I am of course like Snow White, always singing and dancing from room to room with little critters following me lovingly.
I think those gawdy green jewels were actual real emeralds. They seemed discount store fakes but I'm thinking not.
Cute layout. I love those photos of you and your sisters. Can you ever tell us more about them or are they in seclusion?

I love the layout...beautiful. You and your sisters are so cute. Great picture. That was so fun to see. :)
I really like the glass on the front of your cabinets...so cool.
Your scrap space is cleaner than mine!!

I changed the ball color! I did it!!!! WOO HOO! From blue to a yellowgreen. I love your scrap space! Next time I sit down to scrap, I'm going to pretend I'm there and not at the kitchen/dinning room table.
Love the layout, it is a sweet one!
AND The green jewels looked fake to me, like a weird 1980's green, but I thought she looked really good.

Gorgeous layout!!

I was sure that ball didn't work!!! I was sure I clicked on it, more than once. argh.
Love the layout, I love those photos, so cute.
That scrap space is much too neat for all the work you do in there!!!

Do you have to be menopausal to feel like that?? I think kids just think that we are miracle workers and that nothing is ever a problem - it isnt is it? I can very much feel you and think it has to be a good thing that you can laugh about it. The layout is great - I love all the texture. I wish my scrap room looked like that too - and the floor just means that you are a true artist doesnt it? Definately.

That layout is devine Lynette, just stunning and oh my I am jealous of your scrap space!
Hugs xx

Love that messy zone!!! It would mean you are hard at play.
Love your pretty layout. The flowers and the blue are yummy!
The old photos are simply priceless and cute. I think you need to update those photos and do layout with them.
I didn't even watch the oscars. GASP!!!! I went into hot tub and then off to bed. We had a long week last week.
No more PMS over here I am 95% of the time happy, happy now. Getting rid of uterus is a marvellous idea. Having ovaries and hormones keep everything else still in check. Makes for many happy days.
