    What is this thread about?

    Well, things get quiet here on the weekends, so a thread was started to just hang out and do a virtual crop. Since then it's grown into more. Several people are now "regular" including myself. We chat about anything and everything. (Warning: Sometimes we stray into areas that may be considered "adult," although we always try to be tasteful about it.) We share our latest layouts, pictures, whatever interests us. We have fun and encourage each other.

    It's now all week long, too. Since it is a new thread each week, it's easier for anyone to join. Even though we start over each week, it's STILL pages and pages long. Don't be intimidated, we are happy to have anyone drop by and say hello. Some of us read all the replies and keep up, but it is not required. Warning: It can get addictive!

    Please leave updates about yourself here You can also place Prayer Requests here . This is for those who can't be online as much as they would like to be. At least this way, there's highlights from this thread.

    This is a place where we can store info - email addresses, geographical locations, birthdays. (We started this because we wanted to know who we have to go looking for after major events such as the recent hurricanes in the U.S.)

    Sign up for the group. You have to be approved, and currently Jenni (c-leaper) is the only one doing that. (She will probably grab a person or two here in the next couple days to help oversee the admin duties.) The approval process isn't because we're elitist or anything - it's just our way of making sure that those who have access to our info there are "known" to us and not just people signing up randomly to farm the information. The purpose of this site is to store emergency contact information for the members of our group. Please be respectful of its intended use and do not abuse the information.

    Once you're approved, you can add your info to the database and/or your birthday to the calendar. If you need help with either of these functions, just yell and someone here will give you instructions.

    Most of us also really love BLING and encourage bling usage...some to the point of "pimping" but hey, whatever gets the blingy point across!

    The thread is up. I did not start the blog because I didn't feel like logging out to do it so I modified the link to just point to the blog rather than any particular entry.

    Tink, PM me what you want in the OP about the address exchange and I'll add it in.

    going to get more coffee now.

    Welcome to Black Friday.... and I'm going to be staying home. I've already had my M's fix, got two cartridges, now I'm up suffering from too much food and hormone induced insomnia... I will be on later on today, posting my new card (the stickles are drying) and other things I will be creating. Oh, and my baby brother is supposed to be here on Saturday! Whoot! This is the first time he's been out here to visit.

    Hi! Home! Tired! Sore!!!!!!

    Decided to take my good sweet time this morning. Jumped up and grabbed some bargains online. Then took my time getting dressed. Went out and wandered WalMart. Hubby beat me out there so he greabbed the only "big" thing I was interested in. I went to see what else I could get that was on sale, and some other stuff that wasn't on sale just cause I was there.
  • Leebla
    He went somewhere else while I was there. Then we met back up at home. We went over to the mall and I went to Penney's. I hot the home and men's departments and got stuff for the boys...waited in a long checkout line. Hubby came and played packmule then...went downstairs and hit kids, kids clothes, stuff for the girls. Hubby also carried that all out. Then I decided to call it a day.

    He stopped at Bob Evans to get me breakfast on the way.

    I am tired, but I am almost all done shopping.
  • Leebla
    I didn't have my JoAnn's ad with me, and I am trying to decide if I am brave enough to venture back out there later or not. Only because there is stuff my granddaughter asked for that can be bought there...not because I need anything!
  • Leebla
    And I am alll alone here aren't I?
  • Foltzy
    I just got here again. Was still trying to get my Craft robo to work. Almost have it working but think I'll call the company anyway.
  • Vivian Loves BLING
    I really want a ham and pineapple omelet but don't wanna cook. So I just reheated some ham and a slice of pineapple. Now I'm pretending there's eggs all over it.
  • Leebla
    I'm sleepy now that I ate and my stomach is full. Seriously conemplating a nap. I know hubby wouldn't say a word. He just moved his motorcycle to the shed and is thinking about putting the Christmas lights up since it's fairly warm and the sun is shining.

    Hi! I'm sore. Too much cooking. I have a little break time. All that needs to be cooking/cooked is and all that needs to cook later is ready to go.

    Family is not here yet. So I'm taking a break.

    Hubby got home last night at 9:30. Chatted with me for a bit, then went to bed at 11:30... 1 hour later was called out on a fire call from 12:30am until 4:30am. Got home, showered and went out to the Fire House coin toss. Hope they are bringing in some dough!
  • Leebla
    forget it, went online to JA.com and got the stuff I wanted and used the 20% off coupon. Not going back out today!

  • Leebla
    I really need to clean house and get things ready for tomorrow. Really wouldn't mind getting my tree and stuff up if I can.


    Oh shoot forgot one more thing I want to look at Penney's....going to see if I can get it online.
  • Scrappycath
    I spent Thanksgiving working on altering a tissue box cover for Patrick. It will be his Christmas gift.

    Of course it is Steeler's !!!

    I just need to coat it with mod podge.... when he will not be around to see it while it dries!

    Yeah. I don't feel so bad for him. Yesterday he cleaned the kitchen floor for me, then layed down and napped the entire time that he was in the house, while I worked my butt off cleaning and cooking and preparing for today!!
  • Scrappycath
    Oh and with that he has walked in the door and announced that we need to be quiet cause he is going to go nap!

    Maybe I'll get to sleep tomorrow? Doubt it!
  • Scrappycath
    I'm excited that we are going to give my folks the anniversary album today. Even though it is not yet completed.
  • Scrappycath
    Gotta go baste the bird.
  • Leebla
    okay, I don't feel bad now either.

    mine is starting to revert back to the Bill of the other day already. and I do not have it in me right now to "cheer" him up.

  • Leebla
    I need to go motivate my boys to help me clean and maybe prep for tomorrow some. Not too much cooking to do since mom is bringing all the leftovers with her.
  • Leebla
    I still need to work on finishing Michael's album before the 12th too.
  • Vivian Loves BLING
    I'm resisting the urge to nap, which dh is doing.
  • Leebla
    I might be safer taking a nap.
    I just went online and ordered several other Christmas items. I need to stop now and evaluate what I have.

    As much as hubby hates buying giftcards for people, many of the young ones in our family requested them, so I think that and some stocking stuffers might be all I have left to buy.
  • Vivian Loves BLING
    I've no clue what to give to anyone this year.
  • Vivian Loves BLING
    As soon as I finish off the left over Orange Goop, I think I'll take a nap.

  • Jellyziva


    Stayed up late wrapping presents and got up late. Cleaned the kitchen.. still need to mop.. but I'm so tired....

    I hope not to have to go somewhere, DH went to Costco and got a printer. Guess he's not a crowd type of person either.

    Got loads of laundry to do, wrap Christmas gifts for teachers... start Christams cards and print more newsletters.. Need to update my to-do list.

    I do need a few things. My mouse is jumping around (the arrow is ) Apple store is having a one day sale. I've got $10 at Old Navy to spend and DS needs some pants. And Old Navy is just next door to Js.

    I don't need to buy scrappy stuff... I really got a whole room of them.. I like getting them but I don't want to spend $ on them. My mom's estate has some problems and I may need to pay a lot of $$ out in a while.. got to save now...

  • Moxiegirl23
    I only did 5 stores today (which leaves me 3 for tomorrow) but at one of the stores I managed to a) get next month's return done so I have one less to do next month and b) refill my Rx for cheap. They could only partially fill it, but that's ok since I have to go back for a store visit on Tuesday at which point they'll have the rest of it ready.

    I also squeezed in a customer order drop off, too.

    I'm content with the three store visits I'll do tomorrow since I need to go to Borders tomorrow and pick up the book that they're holding for me (John's Anniversary gift) and that's across the street from one of my stores. I need to go to the Post office and that's across the parking lot from the second store and I need to go to Old Navy and buy more pants for me and that's across the street from my third store. So I should be able to get everything done by 10 am.
  • Jellyziva
    Happy thoughts Happy thoughts!

    So for you shoppers, what deals did you get?
  • Vivian Loves BLING
    Dang, Liz gets here and I can't keep my eyes opened any longer.

    Gonna take that nap that's been threatening me all day.
  • Moxiegirl23
    Don't feel bad, Viv. I'm contemplating one myself.
  • Jellyziva


    DH put this 24 x 36 engagement photo of my friends in front of my computer.. I said can you please put this somewhere else 'cos it is so weird when you're looking at this pic of you friends' that is 24 x 36.... and he's mad! I just feel we shouldn't just print this out because even though HE is the photographer, I felt the pics belong to our friends, KWIM???

    Can you please tell me am I the weird one? He is the photographer.. but it is SO weird that he puts it on my desk, even though he put his iMac there!

    Boys are toopid!!!!!! And HE's mad at me?!?!?!
  • Jellyziva
    Nice food album, Vivian!

    DH put our food pics on Facebook. Of course, he shot the turkey BEFORE I removed the burnt spices on the bird. He said "oh it's a test shot" and then he put the pic on FB.

    I got lots of questions "what's the black stuff" I commented, "burnt spices that should NOT have been there". Now Food Network will NEVER hire me!

    I think it's weird that he's plopping it on your desk. I can understand him printing it out for a variety of reasons a) gift for the friends b) part of the portfolio he shows prospective clients
    c) studio decorations to show off his work to prospective clients, but it shouldn't be on your desk.
