Oscraps
Daily Oooo's January 3rd

- Start date
Hi Laurie! Its realllly cold here too! Not sure how much snow we have gotten so far, it seems to be blowing all around. But everything is white, that is for sure.
But we have great news! The snow blower is fixed. For the most part. The electric start needs to be replaced, but the pull start is working. They called last night at dinner time to say it was ready to be picked up. Wow!! They said that they were working really hard to get everyone's in the shop fixed before the storm. Another friend had her's in too-- and they had it ready for her soon after mine. Now that is what I call customer service!
Not much on my plate today. I was supposed to work but am not. So I think it might be a scrap day. There are some really cool challenges up and running and I would love to get creative!

Quickie personals:
So in case you wondering, I *did* in fact survive food shopping. But Holy Crazy Lines, Batman!!! If I hadn't needed to actually get food, for real, and not in Snow Survival Mode like all of those other crazy people LOL, I would not have stepped foot in that store.
Laurie- how is your sorting going? I am amazed at your sense of humor through all of this. Glad that you can have that!
( I just blew off some of Catzilla's hair from my keyboard. She is laying right next to it-- and get this, she just meowed at me that she was annoyed that I did that, What a Brat-Cat!)
Nancy- do they usually discuss how team picks are made? I can imagine that once the players hear about this, they are going to wonder why the heck they have been playing so hard since Aug if none of it matters.
How is the snow down by you?
Hugs to you Trudy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel better!
Sandra- oh man, mornings are rough in my house too and my kids are older. You would think that wouls make it easier, but no.... Hope you have good luck tryiong to scrap today too. Are you still designing?

good morning It is cold and still snowing but it should be ending by 8 am. My DH is out shoveling so that makes me happy. I have a hockey game tonight and I will be cold. But it is the Chicago Blackhawks so I want to see my team play last years Cup winner. Got bills paid and walked to the post office. It was good to be out but I don't think I can say that today.
Chris enjoy your scrapping and so glad you snow blower is fixed!
Laurie stay warm!
Trudy hope you are feeling better.
Have a great day all!

hiya. just a fast fly-by to let you know i'm still alive and kicking. stomach still a bit of a big mess, but it doesn't seem to be as bad as it was a few weeks ago. still not eating much, so my New Years resolution to lose weight is happening through no real effort of my own! we got about 7" of snow, and i was a wreck yesterday afternoon, worrying about my DD and DH being out on the road. everybody made it to their respective homes and i breathed a sigh of relief. right now it's about 5 degrees and the sun is shining. i hope that at least the sun continues.
i am SOOO done with winter. done. really, positively DONE.
enjoy Friday. hope it's WARM where you are! :becky:

Phyllis- so good to see you and hear that you are hopefully recovering! And me tooooo!!! DONE with this freaking white stuff!!!!!
We *thought* that our snow blower was fixed, but apparently NOT! It won't start, so Gary and I were out for a while and now Scott is. I have no idea how much is out there b/c of all the blowing but I'd guess 8-9"? And it is nowhere near as light and fluffy as the forecasters were saying. Its heavy!
%$%*(*&%$#!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning ladies.. I am well enough today to be able to sit here for a bit and not have to lie down every 5 mins. or so. Ugghhh worst cold/flu ever!! I am a walking pile of mucus today!! Probably too much info huh?
Laurie - Only phone internet? Is your power out today? I hope not! Try to stay warm and cozy today!
Chris - Your snowblower won't start?? :rant: why would they tell you it is fixed if it isn't!!! I hope that you manage to get the darn thing started before you are buried under more snow!! Staying home and scrapping a few pages sounds like a much better idea then going out to work in your bad weather!!! Keep warm and safe today!!
Nancy - Have a great time at your hockey game tonight, hubby was thrilled that his Bruins won their last game and hopefully all those sick and injured will be back in full force soon!
Phylis - So nice to see you here again! I hope that your stomach issues clear up really soon! Losing weight because of sickness is no way to lose weight!! But sometimes we take what we can get :becky: Hope your winter is over and done with soon! I hate to tell you this but we have not even really had winter this year, so mild and sunny here and no sign of snow anywhere. DS had to go skiing on the mainland as they have not even opened the mountains here this year. What the heck is going on with the weather?? Its almost scary :fear:
Sandsock - Sorry I don't know your name, well I know it, but for the life of me I can't remember it!!! :loco: Staying inside and taking pictures through the window is a good idea when it is so darn cold outside. Where do you live that you have such high wind chill values?
Ok I really need to go lie down for just a bit and then I am bound and determined to get some scrapping done today! Chris I could use some of your virtual chicken soup today please!!! Have a great day everyone, even if it means staying inside and out of the cold all day long!! :wave:

This is the first time I'm participating, I'm always a little scared because my life is about the most boring imaginable... especially if you discount the scrapbooking, that's maybe the most interesting part.
But I want to be more active here, and this seems like a good way, so... hi!
I'm still massively hungover- not from alcohol, because I don't drink any, but from all the celebrating and preparing... I'm pretty much tired all the time and totally can't imagine how I'm supposed to get up at six a.m. coming Monday to get the kids ready for school!
I hope those of you who are feeling poorly will be better soon... the kids and me only have some minor nose-related problems at the moment, but maybe that's the temperatures... it's extremely mild for Northern Germany in January. I don't know, but I'm okay with it.
Still: I'm fantasizing about Brisbane almost daily at the moment- definitely the city I would move to right now if my husband weren't so stubborn... oh, and my kids, too. Meh.
But- I need 30°C so much at the moment! And I'd gladly take more, too1
I hope I will do some Oscraps challenges tonight, I already prepared all the material for them, but I've been so... well. TIRED.

good evening - well no school for the kiddos today. Temps and bad weather made for a snow day. They were excited for a bit... a little less when they had to go to their dad's, they preferred to stay home.
Long day at work and it's super cold... need to go to the store, get firewood, and small energy efficient heaters to try to keep up with the negative temps we're expecting this weekend. Hate the thought of going out in the cold though.
hi Laurie!
Chris - no luck with scrapping... I can't find the discs that hold all my stash and the attorney has wiped me out financially so buying isn't really an option right now... gonna try to dig for my discs though... haven't designed lately... mojo isn't there either lol
sandsock - stay inside and be warm!
Trudy - ugh sorry to hear you're still under the weather... get some rest.
Nixenkind - everyone has always been friendly here... and I doubt your life is that boring!
Okay... as bad as I hate the thought of going out, it has to be done... UGH!
