Door Decor

New fun stuff. Just another way for me to procrastinate my studying. But hey...it makes me happy & reduces my stress level just a smidge. I did one of these for me, my sis-in-law, & my mommy dearest! :) I really do love em.

65 Red Roses

65_RedRoses is the story of Eva who has Cystic Fibrosis (a lung and gastrointestinal disease) and received a life-saving, double-lung transplant a few years ago. The documentary tells the story of her waiting for and then receiving her transplant. Since the transplant (which was about 2 years ago) she has suffered from chronic rejection (which means that her body is rejecting the lungs), and she is now again listed & waiting. It is such a touching storey. Her blog is really great. I read it the other night . . . I laughed, and cried, & was so inspired by this girl!

The point is...become an organ donor. You can save a life, and really...what are you going to do with your organs after you die?

Save a life.

MORA is the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency. They are a wonderful group that I have worked directly with in my years in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Please help save a life, be an organ donor.

Sneak Peak for Shaun! :)

So Shaun, I'm not gonna show you the complete finished products (ie paintings) for the baby...but I'll give you some little sneak peaks as they come up. I got some time last night to work on them after sleeping in from being sick all weekend. I had a little extra energy last night and so I stayed up and played! These are still not finished....

Love y'all!!

Happy Birthday to ME!

I turned 32 on Saturday, where oh where did the time go?? I mean...32? How did I get this old? Yea yea, I know it's not old...but...I just don't know how all these years passed by so quickly. I feel like I was 18 and going off to college for the 1st time just yesterday. (wow...how mamaw did that sound?) Anyway....

So my Mom came over on Wednesday to celebrate with me, since I had to work over the weekend. She made me some yummy, yummy, from scratch, chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter & cream cheese icing! Wow, talk about yummy! Um um um...gotta take them to work tomorrow to get rid of them and get them out of my house. I can't quit eating them.

We also went shopping. It was so nice...an afternoon with no thoughts of school or testing or studying. Oh but it was waiting like an evil demon for me when I got home. Stupid school.

This is my sweet Mommy! She is so gonna kill me for putting up this picture...but I think it's pretty.

So a fake smile though?!? :)

This is my kiddo eating up those yummy cupcakes. Just these pictures of him eating them makes me want one!!!

Mom & Me after our shopping afternoon! I was so tired & so not looking forward to getting back to hitting the books! Oh well...part of it.

Thanks Mom for such a great afternoon! Love you!
