Mine! Mine!

 

This morning I'm thinking of Nemo. Do you remember the part where the seagulls are saying Mine! Mine! and the Pelican grabs Marlin and Dorey? If you haven't seen the movie, I would recommend it even if you don't have small kids.

So, what does Nemo have to do with Big Picture Scrapbooking?  Well, honestly nothing really unless you want to get philosophical and think about relationships, loss, letting your children find their path and redemption.  But your can relax, because I’m not feeling philosophical today!   Today I’m just thinking about going after something for me. 

As busy women sometimes “me” gets lost in the daily to do list, helping your children become better people and managing the relationships that are important to you. That’s why sometimes it’s important to remember the seagulls in Nemo.  They are single minded and focused on one thing.  Now while you don’t want to be single minded (or be associated with a seagull), once in awhile it’s ok to claim something that is only for you.

Which brings me to Cathy Zielske’s Me: The Abridged Version

An A to Z All About Me 4-Week Album Workshop.   It starts September 16th and is a class all about you, A to Z.   See how the Mine!  Mine! ties in here? 

If you’d like to claim your free spot in Cathy’s class.  Your challenge for today is to tell me something about YOU in the comments below by 9AM PDT this Wednesday.   Now there are some parameters here, I don’t want to hear about your lovely husband, how many kids you have or even your cute kitten, Snookers.  I want to hear about you!

 

About me, I really hate cleaning and I secretly watch General Hospital. 

See you in class! 

Our winner for Cathy Z's class is Lisa!

Lisa said:

My name is Lisa. I love Disney World and I wish I could live there, instead of here. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading a good book, and eating out. Right now, I'd really love to have a Cherry Limeade from Sonic!

Thanks to everyone for your great comments!  Check back in tomorrow for a guest post from Cathy!

I am a reality TV junky!

While browsing Facebook one day I saw that one of my friends had run in the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon. I thought, "Wow, that is crazy, but if you are crazy enough to run a 1/2 Marathon then Disney World would be the place to do it."

Two weeks later while participating in a challenge posed by Stacy Julian, to look back at past scrapbook pages I found a single page layout that was titled "10 Things to Accomplish In My Lifetime". I had created this page almost 10 years before and of the 10 things on the list I had actually done 6 of the things. Of the remaining 4 I saw, "run a marathon". WHAT??? Why would I write that? I hate exercising. I especially hate running.

Two weeks later (after doing much research) I bought my first pair of running shoes. In July I registered for the 2011 Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon and last week I ran 8 miles. People ask me why I'm doing this and my answer is always the same...I'm doing this for me!

Well, I love murder mysteries - especially English ones - and hate my thumbs. And I'd love to have this class cause I read Cathy's blog and I think she is awesome!

[Pam Varney]

I like dipping my toes in the lake in the early morning; the way corn bursts with flavor in my mouth when I bite into a freshly cooked ear;crickets chirping outside my window; and sitting in the hottub after dark watching lightning bugs in the woods near by.

[Christine H]

I decided to get healthy and take the time needed to do so (meaning I now FIND time to go to the gym, and I love it!)....I have lost 100 lbs and am working on the last 40!

[Mel]

I can't stand spiders, I secretly jam out to the Beach Boys and Nickelback when I'm angry, and I can pick up just about anything with my toes

[Kristyn G]

i hate doing housework!

[Annette]

About me: I love wheel of fortune and eating yogurt covered pretzels. It's the little things that make me happy :)

Would love to take this clasa (again!) and hopefully finish it this time!

[Nikki R.]

I teach school, and like the upper grades. I love to read, almost anything! I enjoy Harry Potter, and told my students today that the "secret" is that I'm a nerd! (They didn't think it was much of a secret!)

[Katie Kelley]

I grew up a cat-lover & cat owner of 10+ cats as a kid, arguing with a friend in 4th grade whether cats or dogs are better. Now I have adopted the 8 yr. dog of a close friend and I have changed my opinion - and every day I learn about devotion from the brown eyes of our dog. If someone had told me this last year, I wouldn't have believed them one bit.

[Brenda in Sunny SoCal]

About me... I watch TV on the computer while everyone thinks I'm working (on top of the 2 hrs I watch TV on an actual TV).... I LOVE technology!

[JoMama]

I enjoy reffing basketball. I find it much easier to stand my ground in a uniform and not take comments personally. Plus it is great exercise.

[michelle Huegel]

I secretly love America's next top model and the fashion designer equivalent :)

[Carla]

I feel at home in nature.

[Barb M.]

Reality TV is a man-hour sink hole for me. I loose myself in the craziness of Real Housewives of (fill in the blank with your favorite geographical location here.) I have done many a scrap page while listening to the insanity.

[Jenna]

I like watching SportsCenter with my boys every morning.

[lynne moore]

Where to start? I don't like drinking water from open glasses. Only sealed bottles. Sad I know. I'd like to be more eco-friendly, but just can't pour water from a dispenser into a glass or bottle without feeling like there are creepies in my water.

I also dislike confrontations, but have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and don't ever want to give up that training because I get to kick things as hard as I want.

My oldest started college, but I am happy he still lives at home. (His younger sister isn't so happy about that.) He's a cool kid to have around and I love having to remind him to turn his rock music up louder so i can hear it too.

[Birute P]

I am a closet Hilary Duff/Amanda Bynes movie fan! Whenever I feel the need to watch something lighthearted and silly, I almost always reach for one of these movies!

[ana smith]

I love washing dishes by hand, my husband thinks I'm crazy since we have a dishwasher! ps would love to win, I've already book the recommended book for the class.

[Dawn J]

Wow! I'm learning so much about everyone (as I sit here and drink my diet coke). Some of our Aussie friends have pointed out that it is Seagulls not pigeons in Nemo so I have updated the post. Too many years of living in the desert for me.

[Jan Betka]

I have to be in the right frame of mind to do most things- cook, clean house, read a book, even scrapbook! But when I am, that's all I want to do.
