Evening all.
Happy birthday Melanie. Don't think Monica has been on here in forever but I did wish her a HB on FB.
My day was just "so fun" all day. Had one patient call me and yell at me because I didn't warn him that he would have to take a drug test when he went to the pain clinic and he had smoked marijuana so they wouldn't accept him in the program. Literally rolled with laughter! Kept telling me he "wasn't stupid" and he would have not done it if I had just told him. Oh my!!! Some people are beyond stupid.
Took my Grinch ornaments in for my coworkers. They loved them. Hoping this will be a link.
Hoped to work on Christmas cards but I'm just too tired. No one may get a card this year.

Monica, I'm so glad you are ok after your accident. You have really had a run of bad luck. Hope the tooth is just irritated from your surgery.
Barbara, I can't believe that tree crashed with children in it. Your DH is a real hero! Glad he was there. Scary experience.
Just wanted to post 2 pages I did. The Christmas one started out as a sketch challenge by Toni, but since I don't do inks in my scraproom, I thought I'd tied the title with hanging ribbons. That didn't work, and the layout morphed into my same old simple style...but at least it's done.
The Joy of Family
Welcome Baby Alex
Hope you are all about ready for Christmas. |

Happy belated birthday to MONICA M and MELANIE!
Hope you both had a fantastic day.
Debi - phew, glad you managed to get most of the stuff on your list done. I don't even want to attempt writing mine down; I'll just burst into tears and not get anything accomplished  That is so cool that your hairdresser is willing to barter. I haven't been to a hairdresser since February, so need to make a plan. My hair is halfway down my back now and in suumer that is way too hot.
Oh, Monica! What next? Oops, I made a resolution not to ask that question again after the year I've had... So glad you are unhurt but it is so horrible that your car is damaged due to some macho act. People are so inconsiderate on the roads these days. Hope your insurance can sort it out soon.
Theresa/ Tammy - Hmm, do you think a letter to Santa would help move Christmas? I'm sure he'd appreciate an extra few days to prepare too 
Off to attempt a few more chores before work at 1 (It's 12 o'clock already) Where has the morning gone? And I was up at 6:15... |

morning girls -
yes, it's insanely busy, and not just because of Christmas, but end of semester tests, projects, etc...just crazy.
Of course J's is just busy because of Christmas...the other night I had two of the most rudest people ever...just makes me want to slap them.
Sad, isn't it, that I could feel that way.
Well, it's official...my job will be gone if not this coming year, the following year, so I'm going to start looking for something else. Don't know what, but I'll start looking...sigh. Have I ever said I hate change. So, I'm terribly depressed...not a good time of year to be depressed. I wish J's paid more, I would try to get full time there, but it's less than the two jobs combined, so that wouldn't work.
Anyway, such is life these days, right.
Happy Birthday, Melanie! Hope you have a terrific day
Happy Birthday, Monica M! Even though you don't stop by, I wish you the best.
Well, gotta get going.
Have a great TGIF! |

How about another little fun filled challenge!!!
Since I was in charge of the Recipe challenge and the last few month I kind of dropped the ball. I want you to give us at least one (you can do more) of your favorite holiday recipes, you don't have to scrap it but you can, all you have to do is write the recipe here, who know maybe is just the perfect recipe one of us is looking for. But it has to be yours, your moms, grandmoms no pinterest thingy...
And of course you know what mine is going to be all about....Nice, SWEET and Spicy!!!!
Once I make it I will let you all know the recipe and my pictures.
Can't wait to see ........... | |

Looks as if everyone is running around...
Theresa - enjoy the movie. I want to take the kids sometime this holiday, but I'll wait till they are driving me mad. At least 2 hours of peace for me then
I'm with you about Christmas (though I don't think I've ever started in January, lol). And getting politicians to agree is something akin to mission impossible I have got the grandparents gifts done, now for my kids and hubby... NO Ideas in sight...weel, if the world ends on the 21st, none of it will matter, hey?
I had a hectic morning at work today. I was alone as my assistant is ill and the girl I organised to stand in for her cancelled yesterday as her car broke down and she can't get to me. It was too late to find someone else, so I ran the whole morning. Luckily it was only for 5 hours, but quite busy as everyone wants their meds before going on holiday. I came home and crashed on the cough for 2 hours afterwards!
A small Christmas miracle happened today amongst the chaos - a patient came in with a donation of R5000 (about $700) for Amanda, my assistant with the tumour. Her church had done a collection and they wanted to give it to her to make Christmas special. I've just got to deposit it into her account anonymously. The goodwill of people always amazes me.
We are also dying of heat here - it's been over 40F for the last few days and the humidity is high. Very uncomfortable. If this is December, I'm dreading February. Just saps any energy I might have scraped together during the night.
Have a great Saturday and hope you get some preparation done for the holidays. |

Hi all, I had a bug yesterday, spend the night vomiting. I feel so much better today. I think I was just sick to my stomach over what happened.
Getting the names together and will pull one soon. | |

I am sick to my stomach right now. It looks like I am going to have to take a break from posting on online message boards for a while, including Calendar Girls. A woman posted on the STUDIO CALICO message boards about me, revealing a lot of personal stuff. She must have been lurking on this thread, because it had to do with the pay reduction I asked for in the job I want in order to keep my social security (this & Young Scrappers are the only places I posted about it). It really saddens me that I can't share my personal life and friendships with you guys anymore. |

MONICA B -- I hope you are at least reading...WTH?! Why would anyone do that?!
I've been super busy and yesterday was just shot to h#$! once I read online about what happened in CT. I started crying and could not stop. It's all I can do to function...I feed the girls breakfast, all the while thinking of the 20 mommies who can't do that for the children today. 
Anyway, we have a bunch of holiday stuff to do and I'm trying to keep it together because I can't explain what happened to a 4 year old, ya know? And Stuart is talking about moving to England...where guns are banned and things like this don't happen. *sigh*
MONICA B -- please don't vanish. We would miss you so much. I don't know what tiny little person is out there causing trouble for you, but we can weather it! Keep in touch as best you can...please!!
All -- hope you are enjoying you weekend. HAPPY BELATED BDAY to MELANIE AND MONICA M.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I really appreciate it. Yesterday we went to the state capital which is decorated with Christmas trees. It was just beautiful! Afterwards we went to eat at the Cattleman's Club steak house. Best steak anywhere. Some friends came along and we had a good time catching up. |

I don't know what happened to the kids, but from what I can gather, it's horrible. Thinking of you all so upset.
Monica - I can't believe someone would be horrible about your job and it's implications. It is the best option for you and the employer didn't seem to think it unacceptable (which I presume the poster did). Some people can be so petty. This group is friendly, supportive one, and we try to be there for each other. It's sad that a stranger can ruin that for us.
Oops, I posted is was 40F here the last few days - lol, that is 40C (104F)! I still get confused with the conversions.
Tammy - congrats on winning Diana's challenge - Your tags were super cute. Yay! A scrappy Christmas present!
I'm taking the kids to my dad's for lunch. We haven't been there for a while and the kids want to go to the beach too. |

Good morning! What an awesome way to start my day by seeing Natalie holding my name! Tell her thank you so much, Diana! And thanks again for hosting the challenge. It was a lot of fun and hopefully my mojo will continue during winter break!
I had to stay away from the computer yesterday- media overload. My heart hurts so much for those families in CT. School is supposed to be a safe place, for both kids and adults.
We ended up having friends over for a spontaneous game afternoon(the guys played one) while my friend and I wrapped presents and the kids played. Was good to spend some girl time and get extra help wrapping gifts- we went to her house and picked up hers to wrap too, so we both made out with a chore getting mostly done.
Monica B- it's a huge reminder to all of us that our lives are on public display even if we think we're in a little cocoon on this thread. I learned that lesson a few years ago with my in-laws stalking this thread and then turning the things I did/said out of context. I have to remind myself now and then that they're probably still doing it. You can see that this thread is opened A LOT by the thread count and little posts- part of that is us- looking to see what is going on but not posting or checking the thread after we've posted to make sure it's right, but a lot of it is just lookey-loos seeing what its all about. Hugs to you. Don't disappear, just be more guarded. You know you haven't done anything wrong or illegal, so it's all good in the world.
Theresa, glad the Hobbit was good. Not my kind of movie, but Gary wants to see it.
Michelle- how sweet of that person to donate to the assistants' fund. There are plenty of good people in this world. we just don't hear enough about them.
OK, need to get moving and get everyone up before we go to church. Going to our friends church today- their kids are in a Christmas pageant. Wish our church did that- super cute. As Theresa said on facebook, pray for our nation- (and world)- we need it.

hey girls -
I, too, am a wreck...this happened very closely to where some of my relatives and good friends live. My nephew and his family live in Danbury, and my gf and her family live 15 minutes from where this happened. I am so saddened that so many precious lives were lost...and nobody even knows why. It's terrible. Like one customer said to me the other night at J's...it's like living 911 all over again. And around the holidays, just makes it worse.
As far as the job...it's the whole state that is doing away with full time parapro positions so there is no other district to go to. I really don't know what I'm going to do. Actually, there has not been any notice - I just asked someone close to me about the rumors and she looked into it for me and confirmed it. We don't get any notice about our job, just a letter in June if we're gone. We are peons amongst the schools, but work harder than most of the staff there, but not recognized for it at all. they will suffer without us because the teachers are not going to want to take on our responsibilities too. Another behind the desk person who does not know what they're doing.
Anyway, other than that, it's the same old here.
Monica B...I'm sorry you are going through this. Sounds a lot like what Monica M. went through. Not sure why people do this type of thing.
Sad, really. Hugs, girl. Don't leave though, you will be missed terribly.
It's Sunday and raining here...and I need to get my butt into gear for J's. J's is just a non-stop job. Our new store manager is going to revamp everything come January. I'm talking to him about the job that will be available...but I need to know the $$$ involved first. I am barely making ends meet with the two jobs.
Hope you all have a beautifully wonderful day.
To those of you who have sent Christmas cards...thank you sooooo much.
They are greatly appreciated.
love you all. |

This whole situation really saddens me. But quite a few people on the Studio Calico message board told me that I am in the wrong, and I shouldn't be putting my personal business out there on a public forum, even if people within the group are close. And they're right. I decided that I can't post any more personal stuff about myself anymore It stinks because I really like sharing my life & friendships with you all. I will still stick around to post projects, praise, and say hi. If we're not already Facebook friends, we can stay in touch that way. I just went back and deleted all of my posts from this thread, because I'm sure people will really be coming to read them now. |

Monica does that mean you're not going to do the young scrappers either? Seems like you're just letting them win. Sad.
Michelle, glad to hear that people are helping your staff member. I posted a link (and this is the link) to an online article this morning on FB with items to restore our faith in humanity. That story should be included.
Tammy, sounds like a fun night for you and Gary.
Toni, try to stay sane today.
Went to church and the little kids sang a special, made me cry just thinking that they are the same age as the kids from the school. They did a great job and their children's musical is tonight. My Sunday School class had their annual party over at one of the couple's homes so went there after church and just came home. Really need to be working on cards but am thinking I'm going to take a nap instead.
Have a great day all. |

MONICA B it makes me sad that you are feeling vulnerable due to some very inconsiderate posters. On one hand, they are correct, in that anything posted on the internet is potentially available to anyone who wants to view it (some is more private than others, but everything can be accessed if you know how). That taken as a given, one needs to decide how much and to what extent of personal information they want to share. People have blogs, twitter accounts, FB account that they share practically every moment in their lives. Is that appropriate? I don't know. Sometimes it can bite you in the butt, but if you are sharing stuff that is not illegal or damaging to someone else, I see no problem. I will be sad to see you decide to post less frequently and less openly. But do what you need to do. You are always welcome here.
Trying to assess what I have left to do to be ready for Christmas. Now if those packages would start to arrive.....I just got notice from 2 places that though they guaranteed delivery before Christmas, are now saying the items won't arrive til after. That sucks, but now I can't do much about it. Thus the trials of online shopping.
Ok I'm off to do more laundry and to clear my living room of empty plastic crates that I've taken Christmas decor from. I should consider whether I'm going to make cards this year too, huh?
Have a great day.

Happy Sunday ladies!
I was feeling like I had lost my mojo because of the shootings in CT, but I made myself scrap some photos that I printed out a while ago. I'm also going to scrap another page. I'm not feeling "it" yet, but I'm going to do it because it helps me feel like 'me' again.
Tomorrow I go to the pain clinic. I'm glad that I've never smoked marijuana Theresa! I am feeling a lot of stress tonight. I came back from my trip to Florida yesterday, and my roommate hadn't done dishes in a week, and as a matter of fact, the kitchen sink was clogged with food that she let sit in the sink for the whole time I was gone. Anyway the stresses I'm feeling are making me feel my pain levels creep up.
Monica, I said a couple words about the lady that did that to you on the SC board. They weren't gracious at all. I think that the people who judge you have never walked in love, and need to learn grace.
After all that, here's my layout! I voted |

Good morning!
Oh, no! The shooting is just horrible He must have been seriously disturbed. My heart bleeds for all the parents and family of everyone involved.
We went to the beach yesterday afternoon and I got a bit sunburnt. Not too badly and the kids are fine. Suppose I don't get into the sun as much as them and my skin is paler anyway. Translucent at the moment, actually. Eye-searing, glaring white. I really need a tan if I'm going to survive summer with the kids outside. Just need to do it slowly. yeah, I know how bad it is, but rather a gradual tan than burning. That's much worse long-term.
Monica - Please don't stop sharing yourself here - maybe just no financial info? Keep it to 'I did this and that'? We love your bubbly personality and stuff you get up to. Debi is right in that it is a public forum, but I really wish people weren't so vindictive/nasty/ add you own derogatory term. Why do we feel the need to hurt others? Ugh, isn't there enough evil in the world already. I agree, Katy, they don't walk in grace.
Tammy - glad to hear you are getting up to speed for the holidays. I'm still spinning my wheels...
Have a great Monday! |

Good morning my sweeties! Sending lots of love your way.
Debi, see if the "stay logged in" button is checked. Mine clicks off every now and again for no reason.
I spent three hours in the den last night and did manage to finish a few cards but only a handful. Maybe tonight I can do a few more.

Hey ladies!
Life here continues to be pretty busy. I am yet to get my Christmas shopping done. I still have a lot to do, but all is well, I'll get to it, it's not that deep after all. Friday is my last day at my current job, so I have a couple of going away parties this week, people are showing me so much love, it's very humbling.
We had a very full, fun weekend. We had a party for my managers at work on Friday and then everyone went to our local watering hole for a drink, they had invited a bunch of my former employees, so it was really nice, there were a bunch of friends who showed up. The kids & I spent Saturday baking cookies and then the family went to see The Hobbit. It was a really nice day. We put on a Christmas party for the middle schoolers at church on Sunday night, so it was a busy day and a busy weekend, but it was all good.
Toni - I think it truly stinks that your district is going to just not renew your contracts at the end of the year. I really hate that you are feeling low, I hope that you are able to find a new path that will make you happy. I know that you love the kids that you work with and have given so much to them, it's very sad that the schools are going to just eliminate what you do and I agree, there is no way that the other school staff are going to want to do your jobs.
Well, I need to get moving, but I wanted to stop by. Today is Olivia's 19th birthday, so we are headed to take her out to dinner at Red Lobster (her fave).
Have a happy evening all!
Tina

Kids are home. Tasks aren't done, yet. Did get them to help me take down all the Christmas Crates so they are out of the way.
Went to a meeting, picked up fish food.
The rain stopped, it got sort of sunny for a minute, now the clouds are coming in fast, temps are dropping and weather forecaster says "SNOW" is on the way. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I hate to drive in snow, especially in Seattle and the orthodontish is at the top of a nasty hill. Let's hope the snow by-passes us til at least Wednesday afternoon.
Still have some errands to run, but got to finish a task at home first.
Catch you all later. |

Evening all.
For the comments on my cards, no they didn't take that long to make, I'm just really slow with no creativity in my bones, LOL. Had a hard time deciding what patterned paper to use, etc.
Don't feel good tonight. I had an asthma attack at work today, it was a bad one too. Couldn't breathe at all for a minute, my face even turned colors. One of the techs smokes so she sprayed a new cologne to cover up the cigarette smell when she got back from lunch (in MY office no less). I didn't smell the cologne but started coughing, then my lungs closed off. Got the inhaler out and finally had to go down the stairs and outside for a few minutes. Lost my voice almost, got real raspy for about an hour. Have felt bad ever since. Ended up with a 101.4 temp this afternoon too but think that was just a fluke that it happened the same day. Anyway, plan on going to bed really early.
Tina, tell O happy b-day from me! |

Good morning!
Theresa - hope you feel better today. I don't get asthma but it must be horrible if you can't breathe. Hope the fever is just transient and not Chuck trying to sneak back in.
Debi - I am careful about tanning, etc, but it is really hard NOT to get a bit of a tan here My arms are brown already just from driving in the car but legs are white as I wear long pants to work most of the time. Just looks funny Anyway, the red is gone this morning. Your snow sounds scary. Driving in it would scare me too. I suppose you use snow-tires/ chains?
Tina - good luck with the last few days at your old job. It sounds as if they are trying to make it as pleasant as possible and are really going to miss you. I haven't done any gift shopping either but am collecting ideas, so it won't take too long. Need to post gifts to family in another city as they are not going to make it here as originally planned. So they don't even need to be ready before Christmas, lol.
Sherri - you seem to be running around as well. Hope you got some scrapping done.
Have a good day! I'm taking Ruan to the doctor this morning to have a little growth removed off his back. It isn't dangerous but, being a boy, he keeps scraping it and then it bleeds. I don't like that it keeps getting irritated - who know what may be triggered by that? Prevention is better than the cure. |

Good Morning ladies!
I spent most of the day scrapping yesterday, and it was so much fun. Fenway snuggled at my feet as often as he could without my roommates dog being a pain for him.
I got about 3 hours sleep last night... I'd like to get sleepy enough to fall asleep again, but it's not looking promising. I even opened the window to cool it off in here a bit, but my roommate likes it to be warm inside.
Theresa, your cards were so pretty! I like to send homemade cards, but it's the getting them done that is the hardest! |

I keep thinking I will get a minute to sit at the computer, but it just doesn't happen. We have now got DH's blood pressure under control, and the infection clearing. He told me on Friday he finally feels like he's going to recover. The doc yesterday was pleased with his surgery progress and doc today says things are looking good. It's such a relief. I have been very worried about him and he has been too.
We are knee deep in snow with more coming all day. We were hoping to go to SLC tomorrow, but it will depend on the weather.
Theresa, take care of yourself. My friend's DH died of an asthma attack. We need you around for a long, long time! Glad you know how to handle it and get help if necessary.
Monica, I'm sorry about your problems with online communities. That's one reason I won't do Facebook. I really don't want to be so readily accessible to any Tom, Dick and Harry. Please keep posting here.
Toni, I was so sad to read of the elimination of your job next fall. Prayers being said for the perfect job to come along for you. They will find that the teachers can't possibly do all that you paraeducators have been doing. What a sad situation for you and for the students.
Sorry to read and run, but I must get Christmas cards out today.
Hugs to all my CG friends. |

Hey Sweet Peas!
I hope you are all having a nice evening.
Debi - I so am with you about the snow thing...I don't love it. We are supposed to get some light snow later this week.
Theresa - I'm so glad that you are okay after your asthma attack, that would freak me out for real!
Nylene - It is so good to hear that Steve is finally recovering. I'll pray for his continued healing.
Okay ladies...it's the week before Christmas, so lets play a little holiday game! I'll start us with an A word that is something that would be a fun Christmas gift and we'll run through the alphabet to see what fun things everyone comes up with!
A is for angora sweater

Yikes I get "E"! What starts with "E"? I got it! e-reader
It looks like we may get bad weather for Christmas  I always hope it will wait until everyone is done traveling, but we get what we get. Hopefully the weather man is off by a few days. In 2009 we got so much snow there was no Christmas Eve or Christmas day services at church AND we didn't get down to my parents until February. Just didn't feel right. Lets hope we don't get that much snow again. We need moisture here so badly that I'm not going to wish for no snow this winter though.
Theresa, I think I should have you do my shopping. Sounds like they should love those gifts.
Later all! |
