lOve the O!
One word- BRRRRRRRRR It surely got cold last night- we have a little bit of snow- maybe 2" and lots of breeze which means blowing snow on roads. Off to dance this am and then back home for a bit. Just made a list of the scrapping I need to do- yikes- I will be busy the next few weeks!

What are you doing this weekend?
 
please tell me my crappy day from yesterday is not spilling into today. I was just writing up this post, and guess who decides to come and visit? And now, *poof* its all gone. bah humbug!!!!

So here i was, replying to Laurie..... its cold here too, and we have just a dusting of snow. I hope to scrapbook today too, but I am not sure how much I'll be able to do b/c my computer died. Dead and gone. Thankfully, I have Carbonite and my EHD seems to be fine. So I won't lose much of anything in the long run. but it makes it dang hard to pay bills and reply to emails when everything is on the dead computer.

My mom always gives me money for Christmas and birthdays and puts these stipulations that i can't use it to pay bills. So i stick it in my drawer and wait.... i don't really buy myself anything. i mean i would love to get a new pair of fancy shmancy boots, but where the heck would I wear them? Cleaning? Shop Rite? The library?? :rofl:
I have almost enough to cover a new computer. One the one hand, it seems so "wasteful" but you understand-- my life is tied to my computer. It's up there with necessities like my stove.

So yeah, that was the start of my really not so great day yesterday. Add in that I got bit by Scott's rat (my fault), i fought with paying my bills online- I couldn't remember any of my passwords :der: I wiped off my ipod by accident when I went to sync it on this computer. And to top it off, my client's dog was put down this past week. I know, why should that bother me? But he was a sweetie, and I always spent some time before I left to pet him and give him loves. So when my client told me, we both got very choked up.

But the good end to the day was that Cait's BFF came over for dinner and slept over. She is kooky like Caitlyn and Scott gets along with her too, so dinners are always a lot of fun. So that was nice.

other than that- I am sipping some coffee and trying to figure out what to do about a new computer.

Hope you all have a fab day!

Trudy. yup. hate to fly. i didn't at first, until i realized that i not only get car sick but REELEEE get airplane sick. i fear the sickness. the pills and patch sort of help, but i will always avoid air travel if it's at all possible. irrational, i know, but there you have it.

Maureen. wish things weren't so complicated. always thinking of you.

Laurie, thanks for the Amazon light link. gotta check those things out. my life is in dire need of some fairylights.

well, yuk. it's snowing like a fiend. i should have expected it. the weather on my BD ALWAYS sucks. always. usually it's an ice storm. but the snow looks pretty, so guess i'll just stay inside by the fire and look at it. right now it's snowing so hard that it looks like it's raining. the salt truck came up the road a few hours ago.

enjoy the weekend buildup before Love Fest on Tuesday!

Yup- can't even wear it to work cause the babies will rip the earrings out of my ears and break the chains and drop the pretties in the cleavage- Yup- but at least one year he bought the fancy hanging mirrored cabinet to keep it in. I do love it, just wish I could wear it more.
 
Good morning ladies. It's cold here as well. I think it's the coldest it has been this winter. It is 3 degrees but with wind chill feels like 13 below. I don't think that it is supposed to last long. Back to 40 by Friday...although I am happy to say that I will be in the air and won't care...on my way to 80 degree days in Maui. (I know, I'm obsessing!)

Laurie, I have a long list of scrapping to get done as well. And I've updated my signature with my Cheery-O blinkie. Pretty happy to get that done!

Chris, buy the computer. Think about it as a mom...would it make you happy to know that you were bringing Cait that much happiness? Of course, so do it for your mom! (Not kidding here...I really, really mean it!)

Phylis, when is your birthday? Glad that we only have the cold and not the snow!
 
its freezing here today too in the negatives...brrrrrrrrrr...i took some trash out and that 5 seconds was enough to freeze me!! YIKES!!!

umm lets see....im exhausted...i am not sure if i am gonna get any exercising in today...which is okay cause im only set up to exercise 5 days a weeks and i've already gone for 6...so i might just take a break on that today....maybe i'll get a half hour in or something? we'll see how i feel after lunch HAHA!

tonight we are gonna have pizza!! i got a code for a free large pizza at papa johns woot!
 
Morning everyone... no sleeping in for me ugghh!! Up at my usual time, wish my internal alarm clock would take a vacation!! Oh well lots of scrapping to get done today. Not cold here like everyone, but damp and misty.

Chris - Sounds like you had a very bad day yesterday!! I vote that you get your new computer!! It is a necessity and just think how nice it will be to have a new super fast computer to scrap on!! I am the same way about fancy clothes, bling and shoes, where would I wear them?? To work at the Hardware store?? Sure hope your day goes better today! ( P.S. get the new computer!)

Phylis - You crack me up girl!! Love your smiley!!! Sorry that you get so sick when you travel, my MIL can't travel anywhere without getting motion sick YUK!!! When is your birthday?? If its today, then Dang...... HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL !!

Laurie - Hope you get all your scrapping done today!! Have fun at dance this morning!!

LindaS- Bet you are getting excited to be on your holiday, it will be so great to be on the warm beach!! Great advice on the computer for Chris!! I agree!! Hope your cold weather warms up soon!! I am not seeing your new CherryO siggie???
 
Trudy, I don't know where my siggie is. It says it's there but it obviously isn't! :hurt: Stupid computers!
 
hahaaa!!! that's what a friend of mine said: being alive and annoyed beats the alternative! thank you all.
 
Oh yeah, that is the truth.;) My MIL told me that every day is a good day as long as you are looking at the right side of the grass :D

Did you have any special plans to celebrate?
 
Thanks to all of the advice from my O-Fam, Gary ordered me a new computer. 8 gig ram, and 1TB hard drive. Its not going to be much faster/bigger than the one I have (had!!) now, b/c that one was only a year and a half old. :( But it will be much nicer than the laptop I am using now which is 5 years old.

ITA agree with all of you-- a computer is much much more appreciated than jewelry, any day.

Linda-- Oh I am so living vicariously through you! 6 more days, right? I hope that you'll be able to post some pics on FB when you get there. I am so happily jealous for you!

Kristy- hope you were able to stay warm yesterday! We had pizza too- another night of many teenagers! I had 4 frozen pizzas in the freezer (duh, where else do you keep frozen pizza? :der: ) but Gary decided that it wouldn't be enough. So delivery it was....
Its always good to take a break from exercise esp. if you are doing weight training. Gives the muscle time to repair and build.


Would you believe that back in the day I used to be a very serious weight lifter? Really. i should see if I can find pics of me back in my 20's. My calves were *cut*.
Now I am more of a wine glass lifter :pound:

Trudy-- hee hee!! Seems like the O-Girls are not like the ones we see on TV. Can I tell you how much it annoys me to see the female detectives on CSI and the like running around in heels? I mean, really?? They all need a good pair of sneakers like me.

Linda S- i can't see your siggie either :(

Have spent way too much time trying to get the silly iPads and iPods sync'd up! Ugh....insane. I need to find someone to hire to keep my technology going!

Chris, so glad that you ordered the computer. And love that you had kids at your house again...very cool mom and dad that you are!

Kristy, how nice to pig out and still lose weight!
