Wooo!!! Tuesday!!!!! NCIS, the Good Wife, great night for TV! And, it's my hubby's Saturday!!!!!


Chris -- Hooray for having lots of orders, but boo to the weird dreams :( When I take Tylenol PM or any sleep inducing anti-histamine, it takes care of the weird dreams, knocks even my dream portion of my brain out!
How's your bro & sis in law doing? Remind me to find a blog for you that I used to read... it might help them.

Laurie -- How was getting back to work?? You go girl with the exercising!!!
Eeek!!! I haven't even checked in to the class yet!!!! I don't think I have the time :( I wish it was self-paced.

Linda -- I hope you feel a bit more prepared today!

ME -- Lol, a garage is for cars?? Since when??? I'm sure it'll help out being able to park in the garage once the tiny one is here!

Katrina -- Wow, uhm, I would NEVER get on another person's computer without permission. I would of not been very happy with her, even if being "uncomfortable" is an excuse... that's not an excuse to me!

Nana Linda -- I hope you have a better start today!!! Wow, I bet it's hard getting back wrangling the kiddos after five days off!

Elisa!!! Howdy stranger, you haven't popped in here for awhile!!! Thanks for the PS tip -- fortunately a friend gifted me CS5 because she got it for free from work and had no use for it... I guess someone returned it and had compromised it or something, so they couldn't do anything. I'm totally in love with the new features for CS5 -- the direct selection tool??? best thing for extracting -- ever!

Trudy -- I hope things went well with your MIL! How's the jaw? Did you ever hear from the specialist?

Sally -- Love the new AV!!! You're as busy as ever :)

Petra -- Wow!!! You've been all over the place this last week!!!

Clara -- Have you seen the Top Gear Polar Special?!?!?! Yeah, you have me addicted to this show, I hope this channel comes with our new TV package!!! Jeff has me DVR'ing it right now!

---------
Monday was awful, Jeff and I fought most of the day about his brother not paying his portion of the cell phone bill (his bro pays more than we do each month because he uses up all of the minutes & we have to keep increasing the plan.) Basically his brother got himself fired in May, right before our wedding, so we said we'd buy his tv for $300 by covering his portion of the cell phone bill for five months. Seven months later and he still hasn't started paying his portion!!! Meanwhile, I did our budget based on him paying us this month... and Jeff said he would take care of it while his bro was in town for thanksgiving. He didn't. :drama:

Meanwhile I paid up our website hosting for the whole year, based on the budget.

And Jeff paid most of our bills until the end of the year. He always gets ahead at the most inopportune times.

So now we have $24 in checking & $3 in cash until Thursday, and B of A locked us out of our savings!!!! It's looking like they switched us to one of those "Holiday Saver" or CD accounts without telling us.

I'm really hoping Jeff checks his messages and doesn't gas on the way home! Oh, and the new tally on our gas thief? About a tank & a half. We think it's the meth tweaker around the corner who broke into the jetta. Jeff postponed getting the locking gas cap :( not gonna say I told you sooo.....

Gahhhh!!!!!! Oh well. I get set up today in my new shop, I'm thinking tomorrow will be a good re-opening of Ocean Wide Designs Digiscrap. I'm excited, I'm feeling very blessed that I got into a shop after hearing that there's now an influx of shop-less designers because of shop closures. I'm still in shock that elemental is closing, I haven't been active there in almost 20 months??, but I can't believe it nonetheless.

Oh meg- sounds like your Monday was really crappy! Hope that today is much much better. I wish I could send you some money- but I guess that means I would have to have some cash first, eh? Have you gone through your car/sofa for change yet? I can usually scrounge up a few $$ that way. Too bad that you don't have kids yet- piggy banks can also be a good source of change.

Congrats on your new shop!! Did you tell us where you are going to be and I can't remember or is it hush hush still?

I am so cold, gotta get my hat on, and some shoes.
already have my coffee...

See ya in a few...

Hi Linda S! I am back-
Did you all miss me?

Hehe-- the piggy bank thing- i think all moms have to do that at some point. When we were waiting for Gary's Disability Hearing, we had next to no income.I had to take just about every cent from the kids. That killed me. But when he got his back pay, I paid them back 100%. I evenn left little post its every time I borrowed and when I paid it back.
My little bugger of a DD still asks if I owe her more. such a brat!LOL

Back to personals for yesterday:

laurie- good for you an the Art Journal. I had completely forgot that I signed up for that class to. But I can't do it- I am too hectic with everything else. Hope that you have fun and get a lot of inspiration out of it.

Linda S- that sounds like me a lot lately- unprepared. Hope you days/weeks goes well.

ME- it was so cold here too- we don't have a garage and I didn't let the car warm up early enough so I had to drive the kids to the bus with the windows down, oops!

Katrina- oh bummer about the doubled up gifts. Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle for everyone.
How did you do on your exam?

Nana Linda- hahahah! One of the best wii games I liked to play with Scott was Rampage. Smashing things was great. If you haven't seen Raving Rabbids- that is hysterical!!

Bettr get going and start the car up now....

Be back in a few if I can

GOOD MORNING MY DEAREST FAMILY O's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just had a few minutes to sit down, as I got the kiddos down for a nap!!! WHOA they keep me running these days!!!

I need to share something totally hillarious with you....

Alison called me yesterday and we chatted for about an hour.......I KNOW ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL??? SO GLAD WE GOT PAST ALL THE BAD STUFF.....so anyway...we discussed Christmas a bit...and we got on the subject of Santa Claus and whether or not Jacob still believes...she says he does, but I told her that he knows, he just won't say it yet...HE IS 10 YO now!!!! She said Jacob said something to her that makes her believe that he still does believe in Santa....apparently Jacob's best friend's parents have told him that ANYTHING that Santa brings that costs over $100, Santa sends a bill to Mom and Dad....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :pound: so Jacob's friend told Jacob that and he went home and asked Alison and Brian if that was true!!! :pound: I was laughing so hard I was crying!!! Brian told Alison that he wants to start putting the little itty bitty junk stuff out from Santa and wrap the really cool big stuff...cause he is tired of Santa getting all the d@#* credit for it!!! :pound:

always chatty at the O!!
Hey ladies. I only have a few minutes...My sis is leaving in a couple of hours. It has been so nice having her here although she was making me crazy yesterday telling me when to do my dishes. My kids were making her feel all bad today telling her she wasn't allowed to leave and stuff so we had to have a little sit down. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi because I was missing all of you and was feeling so out of the loop these days. I'll stop in tomorrow and do personals and all that fun stuff. Big hugs!!

Morning girlies!!

Wow...page 2 and it's only 10:55am...the beginning of Dec makes us chatty for sure!!!

I've got lunch with a dear crafty friend today and then blankets for Krista. I also have music group tonight that I need to plan for. When you do Contemporary Worship music, Christmas songs are hard to fit in the service. So we kinda jazz/pop them up a bit, and Mr Gorgeous is in TRINIDAD right now, so I'm on my own tonight. *sigh*

Can I just tell you though that after almost three years in California, this 4 day trip is nothing!! I'm like...I don't have enough time to fix the house while he's gone!! Ohhh and it looks like he won't be traveling next week to Vienna. *whew* You know, when he gets a real job (we like to call it that!! LOL!!!) and has to go to work everyday, it may be harder then when he was traveling!! LOL!!!!

Anyway, I've got all of these creative ideas today, so we'll see where that takes me!! I'm going to go photograph some mini quilts for the store before I have to go.

Love you all dearly!!

(and Kristy, welcome to the Os!!)

Morning all :wave: my we are a chatty bunch today! Another quickie from me again today :sad: but oh well I have to work. I only have one day off this week so I hope to get some much needed time in here.
Sorry no personals, but I know you understand. I did hear from my specialist yesterday and my appt. is for the 8th of Dec. with many more appts after that. Thank goodness for hubby's dental plan or we would be very broke!! Will tell you more about later. Gotta run. Oh yes and Nana Linda... your story was too funny :pound: you should scrap it!!
