Virtual Crop Week #54 Is it Spring yet?

• c-leaper Said:

Yes, a date! Dinner, live music, possible dessert and definately beer and NO CHILD!!!!! (well, mine anyway).

Mom wanted to borrow Abby for the weekend, so I'm driving her down after school. John's friend Chris Child is in from Colorado to sing at a local pub. We'll go up for dinner, the entire first set and we might even stay for the second! (We usually bring Abby when Chris comes to town and leave right before the end of or after the first set). Twice in a month, I don't know what to do!

youre welcome.. make me fell a little less of an outsider

Just finished skimming the old thread. Caught up on this thread. Now to catch up elsewhere. BRB

Sorry for speaking in third person...

Jenni says:
Sometimes it hurts less to do it that way.

Joy said:
That's such a pain Dawn, when you have such a drop in the temp.

Jenni says:
*SNORT* That's normal around these here parts.

Shirley - take care of yourself. I'm sure DD will understand. Maybe she can have a "special" day getting to be "all grown up" and playing nurse and taking care of Mommy.

Good morning!

Jenni, I hope you find the paper/info. That's so frustrating!

Heat is back on pilot light went out


Jenni says:
Pilot lights scare me. We have one on the water heater. And something about the way the exhaust pipe is angled/run, if we have a REALLY windy spell, chances are about 50/50 that it'll blow back in/down the pipe and blow out the pilot light. I can do it...I just don't like to.

I can't find it.

Yesterday, when that former client called about me coming to be with her girls during the hearing, I jotted down her phone number & address because the phone number didn't come up on my cell phone.

And now I can't find the paper I wrote it on.

In a sense, thankfully, they're in a small - very small - town and she has a PO Box address, so I could probably just write to her c/o the post office and she'd get it. But it really bugs me that I can't find that paper.

To make matters worse...of all the old client files I have around here...that isn't one of them.

morning!

A date?

OMG!



Rachael Ray just "pulled a Ria"...She was cooking and showing us how to make the ultimate ham-and-cheese sandwich. And suddenly says, "Cooking with HEAT works a lot better, let me turn this on..."

From last week:

• DawnInAZ Said:

Yes, I did offer to share. Problem is, in the beginning I might not be too apt to let her do the playing, I might cut stuff out for her. Only asked that if she used it a LOT to chip in for blades/mats, which are a LOT cheaper than WB's blades/mats, especially at Wally-World.

From what I understand, just about everything for her reception is paid for, since she and her mom have been buying stuff for it for months. And her MIL is making everybody's dresses. (Hers, mine, and our other friend's.) I think it's going to be potluck, and everybody's bringing a dish. (I had a request for my home-baked "ronis.")

You, too, Liz!

Ok. The thread is started. Links are updated. I'm going to be unavailable today as I have a telephone training in an hour, cleaning, packing Abby's stuff for her trip to Nana's this weekend, and getting ready for a date tonight. Plus paperwork. Have a great one!

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!

Circle Journal Information:
I suggest 8x8 format because it's easy to do and will fit into a standard mailer.

It's everyone's choice to do either a single or a two page spread and to add whatever you want. Vivian, personally, would like to see a current photo, likes and dislikes on whatever, and something unusual about each person. Like for Liz/Moxie to show her extensive Stickles collection.

To keep things simple, do the same layout for everyone. You could change papers and such depending on your stash but keeping to the same design will make things much easier/faster and no one gets a better page from you than the next person. If someone is short on funds/time to make copies, digitals are acceptable. Even digital copies can be doctored up (read that as blinged) to make a hybrid layout.

PM those you want page(s) from and you'll be getting PMs from others in the Circle. Just let it be known you're interesting in doing this in the thread. This isn't just for VCWer, so if you want to add other people, go ahead. It's your album.


Please leave updates about yourself HERE . This is for those who can't be online as much as they would like to be.

Most of us also really love bling and encourage bling usage!

There are several of us who are dealing with weight/health issues, too, so we've started a HEALTHY CHALLENGE as a way to have support and accountability for whatever your goals may be.

So come on! Don't be bashful! And don't be afraid of the fact that this thread MOVES. Just jump in wherever we are, and we'll be glad to get you caught up on what's happening. We never know what we're going to talk about or how silly we will get.
