Papers from Polar Bear Press came

I got my papers from Polar Bear Press and I am in love with them, they are one of my very favoite lines and the other one is BasicGrey. I have really liked Polar Bear since the first time that I saw them last year when I got it in a kit that I get monthly. I didn't think that I would get anything from the Polar Bear Press kits but I checked the comment section and she had left me a comment to get in touch with her. I think they are great and I am going to take a picture of them and will post it when I get it uploaded on the computer.
I have been working on Mom's computer for the last 3 days and I hope that it is finally done so tomorrow I can get DSL installed in it and then we can be online together and I can cancel my cable. I have treid to install DSL on it and the seems to be something that will not connect and I don't know why yet. Had to transfer it from one phone number to another one because we had too much on the main phone line and switch it to the fax line that we don't use anyway so it took another week to hook it up and they called today and told me that I could install the software and hook up but Dad seems to think that there is something wrong with the computer and he has had me trying to fix a problem that I don't have when I am on there and it only happens when he is playing Spider Solatire and he has to wake me up to have me come look at it and I think that he falls asleep and the screen saver starts to come on and the mouse sticks a little and he has a fit and starts to pound on the mouse and it is a new mouse and if he breaks it I am going to make him buy a new one himself. He knows nothing about computers and he will drive me crazy standing over me and ask questions which is fine if I am not trying to do something and he says that he wants to learn but then when you try to show him he gets bored and leaves and that is madding to me and I want to throttle hi,. So hopefully in the morning I can install DSL and get it up and running on Mom's and then I can get it installed on mine and take cable off and cancel it. DSL is alot less money than cable and I have cable TV and I think that sucks.
I am trying to get things organized and straighten up in my scrap space and when I start to do something I find something else to do and I am behind in some things that I want to do. So hopefully I can get some things done in the morning and afternoon.
Thanks for reading my blog and Have a great day!!!!

I got a email that said that I had won a press release from Polar Bear Press the other day and don't you think that I was surprised to learn that I had won. I have really liked the papers from there since I first saw them in a kit that I got from Suzy's Kits last year and they are one of my favorites and now I have the new ones with stickers coming to me. I have not been able to scrap alot lately (for the last 3 weeks), Mom has been sick with a Bladder and Kidney infections and she has not been able to do much for herself and she has needed help to walk and she has needed to use my chair and I used the other one when I went outside to get the mail, she is starting to feel better but she is still really weak and walking to the kitchen and back wears her out and she is sleeping alot during the day and she is still sleeping in my room at night, which I don't care. I have been the one to do the cooking and cleaning up the kitchen, Dad has not offered to help at all and that is what makes me so upset. If he would at least offer to help that would be something, but that is not going to happen. Mom is trying to do somethings but it tires her out and she has to sit or lay down and then she is wiped for the rest of the day. Saturday is the first day that she went out of the house to go get our hair done and then that evening we went out to dinner at El Adobe and when we got home she was so tired that she went to sleep right after we got home. I have been so busy that I have not had time to make 2 birthday cards for Dad's birthday Friday so that is what I have to do today and get them done so we can give them to him on Friday. I know that Mom is trying to get to feeling better and I tell her not to rush it and when she feels like doing something then she will and not to push herself or she will be in the bed again and feeling worse and we don't want that. I have been having alot of pain in my back the last 3 days and I can't get relief by taking pain pills and I sweat laying on the heating pad so I guess I am going to have to deal with it until it decides to go away, but it is slowing me down doing the things that I have to do around here.
