I haven't posted in a hundred years...

At least that is what it feels like to me. My life has gotten hectic with lots of things, and sadly my crafting has taken a back seat. Where I used to dedicate time each day to my paper crafts, I'm now lucky to get a day or two a month in. Oh well, variety is the spice of life right?

One of the things that keeps me quite occupied is work. I am currently the Personnel Manager for Walmart Store #4641 in Huntley, Illinois. I absolutely love my job and it has afforded me some really cool opportunities in the last several months. One of these opportunities was my attendance at the 2011 Shareholders' Meeting last month which was an amazing experience. Please take a look at the video below to check it out.

My son, Eli is now six, he is a busy boy with school and Kids' Club. He is enjoying his summer before starting 1st grade in just a few short weeks. It's been fun getting to spend some time with him during the week, enjoying being outside riding bikes around the block and blowing bubbles, even going to the Woodstock Water Works and $1 Movies --- six has been a super-fun age.  My husband, Bill is still plugging away and his website is now gaining some traction, so if you have a car fella in your life, send them over to the Crittenden Automotive Library.  He's got oodles of stuff on his website about cars, modeling, cruise-nights and racing, so be sure to check it out.

Because I'm a nerd, and I feel so out of touch with my online paper crafting friends, I'm going to answer three questions about myself and ask you the same.  Feel free to post a reply to this post with your answers.  Ya never know, I may even feel compelled to pick a winner and send out some blog candy!

1.  What has your favorite movie been so far this summer?

     Going to have to go with the final Harry Potter, I mean really, just duh - that is the obvious answer.  However, I will give props to Transformers 3, we really liked that one too, thought it was much better than the second movie. Oh, and Cars 2 was cute too, I loved Mater with his costumes.

2.  What was the silliest thing you've done this summer?

    Went gay bar-hopping with a group of people from five different countries in 100-degree weather while in a college town.  It was outrageous and a whole lotta fun.  Completed with a rainbow flowered headband, umbrella drinks and a bit of dancing.  Language difference be damned, we all got along fabulously.

3.  What's the best thing you've had to eat this summer?
    Gonna sound silly, but the best food I've had this summer was at the Family Reunion, ya know, the place where you can get potato salad that tastes exactly what potato salad is supposed to taste like, the perfect devilled eggs, delicious taco salads, amazing brats and burgers, and more desserts that anything else.   Other than that, I went to Epic Burger in Chicago last week, and yes, the burger was epic and the strawberry shake was amazing!

That's all for now, but stay tuned, I've got a newfound determination to get back to blogging!
