Happy weekend!!! We have 3 days off here, for Columbus Day. Does anyone else have it off too?
I am sooooo looking forward to getting away this afternoon. I am going to miss you all, but it is goign to be so nice not to be here, at my house LOL
I know, doesn't that sound awful? But it will make me a happy momma on Monday, and I will be feeling good about being home again.

What plans do you all have for the weekend?

Elisa- have fun with your shoots. Do you have a good website or free class recommendation for "new" photographers? I kinda have the basics down, but it isn't "natural" to me yet, and I still end up shooting in auto more often than not. I also want to learn RAW, but I am not sure where/how to do it.
Hope you have a good time watching movies too!

Dawn- bunny kisses to Davy!
You have all of my bestestest thoughts for you and unemployment. That seriously bites w/ your g-parents. Do they have any reason why they won't help you? I seriously don't know how or where! we would be living if if weren't for my families helping out.
Thanks for understanding my prayer babbling :) And why would you delete your thoughts? I love hearing what you have to say.

Merkee- yummy baked stuff! And coffee :) You know you still have good thoughts from me for YMG's job!

Di- sooo happy to hear things are calming down w/ your DD. Enjoy it!! How was the pumpkin patch? Sounds like so much fun!
Wooooot!!!! I am so thrilled for you about the wedding! You are goign to do awesome- and have fun too :)

Andrea- ack! I still haven't order the supplies- I have to make sure I do it before I leave.....
Have you talked to Vince? He has been on my mind- guess with all of the news.... but anyway... I am thinking great thoughts to him and to you. hugs~~

Clara- mojitos at an Oktoberfest! ROTF! Love it!
I love your "ramblings" too- And I am so happy to find a place where we can be so open and honest with each other.:) And ITA (no surprise) about Columbus Day too. My school district uses it as an In Service day.
Have a great time this weekend.

(psst- you think the other O's are going to have a big party with our blabber mouths not being here :D:D:D)

Linda W! ROFT! Needing cages for the kids!!
Have a great date night tonight!!!!!

Lori ((((((hugs!!!)))))) Good to see ya! How is your DH feeling? And you too??
Thanks for understanding- and as you can see, this group of ladies is the BEST!! I heve never been online with a bunch of very different people who have been so amazingly supportive and understanding.


To all the rest of my O-Fam- have a wonderful happy and relaxing weekend!
 
Good morning all! I'm sitting here looking at real snow coming down outside. I was supposed to do a 3 mile walk for ALS today but I'm not doing it in this. I have one huge goal and that is for the entire family to remain healthy until Wednesday when we leave for Cozumel!!

Today we are going to celebrate my birthday at the bowling alley. Doing night glow bowling! :-) And then going to my brother's for cake and ice cream. We are going shopping for a new camera bag for my birthday present!

I'll be back in a few minutes for personals.
 
Chris, we will miss you but the long weekend is just what the doctor ordered I'm sure! (It's just that your mom was the doctor this time. :-) :-)
 
First things first.........IS TODAY YOUR B-DAY LINDA S????
Why is isn't this in the monthly calendar?? (in my motherly fussing voice)

Well...I took a zanax last night...so I got a good 10 hours...much needed!!! still stuffy a bit...but it's getting better...and dang it...my tongue is still not healed....I can taste again, but it's still not normal.

So I already spilled about my weekend yesterday....so I don't have much to say....other than I love you girls!! thanks for all the healing thoughts and comments....

Now let me check where I left off yesterday for personals:p
 
Lori....Hi there...glad you popped in!! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!! Has Mr. Potts fully recovered?? Hope all is well!!

Chris....Now you know it would not be a party without you and Clara....we will wait on you to get back!! And NO NO NO it does not sound aweful about wanting to be away from the house and all the daily stuff!! When my kids were younger...DH and I took a weekend trip somewhere about once every 3 months...even if it was for one night and at a friends house to not spend any $$$. It was very good for us all!! well maybe not for whoever was keeping the kids (usally my Mom). but it was for us!!:D So you go...relax...enjoy...and NO GUILT!!!


Linda S....seriously??!! SNOW!!!!!!! good gracious...it was 88 degrees here yesterday!! well I don't blame you for not doing your walk...last thing you want is for anyone to be sick on your trip to Coz!! I know you are so fired up about this trip!! I would be!! Have fun bowling tonight and hope you get the camera case you want!!

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
 
Goooood Morning Lovely-Os (said in the voice of Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam)! I hope today is bright and happy as it can be for everyone!

Chris- awww(((((hugs))))) I appreciate you wanting to hear what I have to say...DH things I ramble too much . And the poor woman I worked with, I talked her ear off, I bet she is glad I'm gone . I sure miss her and the doc I worked with but that's all I miss :). I hope you have a wonderful 3-day weekend (I used to go to a bar that served a drink called that...it had coconut rum, pineapple and I don't know what all in it, it was GOOD).

Linda S!! Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a wonderful, um??? snowy day?! It's kinda of cold here but no snow yet...plenty of rain though :). Is it Coz time already?! Dang time flies! I'm sending out healthy thoughts for you and yours :).

LindaW-I'm glad you are feeling some better, I hope you have a fab date tonight :), sounds fun! I hear you on the sleeping, I haven't been doing too well either, I need to take a sleeping pill tonight I guess...my problem is I don't want to stop scrapping and go to bed LOL! I even get up late at night and get on the puter then go back to bed...I think I need the 12-step program LMBO.

Di-I am sure you will take wonderful photos of the wedding! The bride has faith in you and I imagine she has good reason to, have faith in yourself, you will do fine! Enjoy it and the trip, sounds fun!!!

Lori-hi! hope things settle down for you soon, we've missed you lately!

Elisa-Hi there! Happy to see you in the dailies :). I'm like Chris, anything you can share regarding photography I'd appreciate, I still shoot auto even though I have a d-slr...I need to find a class I guess.

Merkee-howdy doo! Hope the weekend finds you well :).

Okay, I gotta get up and walk around the house so DH thinks I'm doing something other than playing on the puter hahaha.

Love and hugs to all my O-fam old and new :).

Linda W...so glad that you are feeling better! And yes, we had snow today! Lots and lots of snow. Although its finally melting.
 
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY birthday, dear Linda...how fun that you get to go to Cozumel for an extended celebration!!! yay!!!

and Happy Saturday to everyone else!!! I'm planning on scrapping all night tonight!!! we had a great football game this afternoon...Quentin's team won 39-0 and he played a lot...which is a good thing since I threw a tantrum last week about the fact that my darling son who has bigger heart than any other player on that field didn't get to play but his 12 plays. so this week the coaches switched things around a lot (not necessarily because of my tantrum...heehee) because the other team wasn't really that good. So after we got two touchdowns up, Quentin actually got to play running back and run the ball and then they put him in at defense...*sigh* life is so much better when he actually gets to play! :) okay...off my soapbox...I'm back in my happy place!! :)

okay...off to look at all of the challenges!!! I've been soooo full of exciting things going on in my life (school, band, mr gorgeous, 4 kids, yada yada, yada!!!), I just haven't really made any time to scrap. Here's the crazy (and I mean crazy...) thing: I'm taking an online scrapbooking class called Cut the Crazy out of Christmas. I'm am already stressing BIG time over Christmas!! and this class is supposed to be calming me down!! I think because I let it go the second week, I've let my mind get out of control, too!! :) So for the next two days, i'm going to get it together and back on track!! I want a fun STRESS-FREE christmas~!!!

okay...now I've waiting long enough, I'm going to eat now and then come back and scrap scrap scrap!!!
 
Can't wait to see what you put in the gallery tonight Sally! I'm glad Q got to play and glad that they got a victory!!! Woot Woot!

Had a great birthday. Well, it started ugly with snow. Unbelievable this early. But then took Syd to gymnastics. She is rocking the house right now. They've moved her up to TOPS this week. Her class has 3 2nd graders, 3 1st graders and my little kindergarten student. And she is holding her own. And she is having fun. I love to watch. Although today she was looking so old today. She's so strong and muscular that she looks much older than her age.

We then raced to the bowling alley where we did glow in the dark bowling. Everyone but Hannah was there. I am so grateful for my family. Dad and Mom just ate the pizza with us and watched. My teenage nephew and niece were both there and Zeb brought his girlfriend. Then the younger kids were all there as well...only one missing was Hannah who is at college. So, so grateful am I!

We then finished back at my brother's house where we had apple cider, cake (3 different kinds), carmel apples and ice cream. What a great day.

Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies. I think I'm going to end the day by watching Food Network in bed. Does it get better than this? LOL
 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDA!!! sorry I am late!! and I had to yell so you could hear me from way downunder!! and snow!! how wonderful, coming from someone that doesn't have to live with it day in and day out!!! and how exciting to be going on your trip soon!!! Hope you and all of your family have a real fantastic time and of course we WANT photos when you come home!!! :)
 
Chris- hope you have a fantastic weekend away! you totally deserve some YOU time!!

LindaW-I'm glad you are feeling some better and how did your 'date' go last night??? :)

Di-How exciting about the photography gig!!! really girl!! they have seen your photography so I would say you are selling yourself short on your abilities!! Just make sure to take HEAPS of photos so you have plenty to choose from!! :)

Lori-hey there!! I don't get to the O's everyday either, so like today I just jump in when I can!! Hope you have had a nice weekend!

Elisa-oooh, another photographer, I am with Dawn and Chris, I need all the help I can get!!! LOL! :)

Merkee-hey there! hope you have had a lovely weekend, hope your DH is able to find some permanent work soon. My DH works for himself so it spasmodic at the best of times. This is why I am still working........would love to retire but that is simply not an option with just his pay coming in.

Dawn - LOL about having to get up and walk around the house so your DH doesn't know you are on the computer! hahha!! Luckily my DH is on the computer just as much as I am so he knows better than to say anything ;)

Sally - hope you don't stress out too much!!! We are having Christmas at our place this year and as it will be held outside there isn't a lot I have to get stressed about. We all decided to not buy for the adults this year, only for the kids .............. and we have decided that while I will buy for each my grandkiddies....... the aunts and uncles will draw lots as to which nephew/niece they will buy for. I think the kids just get way too many presents and really don't appreciate them as much as they should!! I remember back in my day...................!!! LOL! now I am sounding like my mother!! :)

Hello to ME, Andrea, Clara (hope you are enjoying yourself!) Sandra and everyone else that pops in!! have a great weekend, or what's left of it, talk to you all again soon!! {{hugs}}}
 
Hello Again! Dropping by late but I guess that is what weekends are dor.

First of all Happy Birthday Linda!! We need a smiley with a horn! Today is also my sisters 23rd birthday. She finally got me to watch her kids from 10 - 5. They all behaved so well. It was an easy day.

LindaW: I am so glad u got rested. So is tonight movie night? I think by Sunday you will be as cool as a cucumber. All rested and relaxed.

Dawn- Things have settled down as much as they will. I am not feeling my PC as much lately. KWIM? I have actually been reading Stephen King mostly. I joined a reading group that is reading his works in order. Yeah!!

Sally- You are so happy. Its nice to read about your busy day. All the hustle bustle with you enjoying it!!

Hello to everyone else!!
 
Good morning ladies. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes.

Lori, I'm glad that the kids were good for you yesterday! :-)

I'm with you Ona. Would love to retire. But with DH selling real estate, I'm the steady income person...along with the health insurance person...so retirement is way off. I love picturing Christmas outside! My imagination can barely get a picture.

Dawn, looks like you were up even earlier than I on this weekend morning. What's with that anyway? I so wanted to sleep late (like 6:30). Oh well...

Maybe one more page scrapped before everyone else gets out of bed.
 
Oh wow Ona...I can not imagine Christmas outside!!!! It would be nice...since we pack in here like sardines!! LOL!! This year it will be about 27 of us!! YIKES!!!! I used to cook a dinner...but it's too many....now I just do all the favorite dips, salads, candy, snackie type foods....Then they can nibble and eat as they please.

Hi Dawn!! What's up with you today?? I got your email this morning...I will be responding soon...so check your mail box!!

Oh Sally....Q sounds like he is doing fantastic at his football...and sweetie...you gotta throw them tantrums sometimes!! No one else in the world will protect and stick up for your babies besides YOU!! So you have you a "fit" when ever necessary!! Your kids will love you for it!! Mine still talk about "Mama's temper" at their ballgames and with the coaches!! hehehehehe!! And the refs are probably still talking about dad's temper! HA!!! Yay for scrapping...I have been missing your pages in the gallery!!

LindaS...sounds like you had a FAB birthday!! I would love it!! I feel bad for saying this...but no one had EVER given me a b-day party :( I don't ask for one, but it would be nice...I have voiced that one day I would like to have one...but every year passes....never happens....kind of pisses me off....since I go the whole nine yards for the whole dang bunch of them!!! I have to admit though....they are very generous with their love and such on Mothers Day and Christmas!! They do make special efforts to make me the "most special" on those two days!! and that always makes me feel really good...it's just it's not as enjoyable because I am still doing most of the work on those occasions!! Okay..I am through acting like a baby now!!
I also hear ya on the insurance thing Linda....my DH could retire if he wanted to ...and we could stretch the money to make it on his retirement, but it's the cost of insurance that puts the whole thing in the can....we would go from paying 0 to paying $500 for just the two of us, and we couldn't switch, because of DH's blood clots a couple of years ago....

Hi Lori!! HOpe you are having a fab weekend!!

Okay girls....MY DATE IS TODAY!!!!!! We are going to a 4pm movie, out to dinner and shopping before the movie....and to romantically end it up..after dinner...probably grocery shopping!! LOL!! That's what being married for nearly 20 years will do for ya!!
 
Really quick one, I've been on the puter waaaay too much this weekend! I have to run to the grocery after I shower, ugh.

If any of you have the time may I ask a teeny tiny favor? I entered the Fall Madness contest at DSA and I've just put up my layout eeeek, I'm head-to-head with 1 scrapper which makes me very nervous LOL. Soooo, if any of you have a chance to take a peek at my LO and leave a little loving I'd appreciate it sooooo much!!! Here's the linkie http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=81889&ppuser=4146

I love y'all!!!! ((((hugs)))) and I'll be back later I'm sure :).

LOL, I was working on a contest layout and was inspired! I went back to bed for a while :).
