Rhonda pricing is always a pain for those sales. I always wished that I marked them as I gathered them rather than waiting until the end. The one thing I don't like about the G is it is kind of hard to see what the cats are. I have to see if the smiley cart is on PC's product page so I can get a better idea of what they are, or maybe DS.

Pat thanks for checking about the Imagine. I actually haven't gone to the Imagine thread here. I was looking at reviews on other sites. I really want the DS to work with it though. I have heard the new DS like thing they are coming out with that is free will work on the new E so maybe it will work on the Imagine too. I just wonder what that will be like.
I would have kept all the things I would use too. That was quite a few years to be a vendor. Did you get a wholesale discount on your product? I do have all of my Studio G stamps in baseball card sleeves in binders so they are all organized at least.

Paula I hope it doesn't rain for the kids for Prom either. Let it rain in the morning before all the girls start getting ready and after if it has to. WTG on getting a couple of LO's done. Organizing is a pain but makes things go so much smoother when you do scrap.
Yes it is a good deal for us to go to Buck burger night. You get real food and it costs less than going to a fast food joint. We get there early enough too so we get a half price appetizer. The buns are homemade too. It is a good restaurant, although we have to sit in the bar area to get the buck burgers but that is ok. It is a nice bar with plenty of seating. They make a limited number of burgers though. They cook them up and then put them in a warmer then you go up and they tally how many burgers on a slip that you take with and then bill you in the end so you can decide how many you want as you go.

Evening all...

The storms have finally passed us. We had some hail, high winds and very heavy rain, but was not as severe as predicted, so that is a good thing.

I have not been very productive today. This anniversary is really bringing me down. And due to the storms the kids were not able to come in so I have been very blue tonight.

Pat, glad your pricing is progressing. Enjoy your great weather.

Paula, how was the church sale? Did you work or shop?

Nancy, I also have my Studio G stamps in a baseball card binder. So they are organized and I do use them occasionaly. I still refer to the print sheets for some of the cart details, but I still really like the G.

Going to try to relax for a bit.

Morning all...

Pat, hope you can get that list completed. You are really cleaning house on your crafting supplies. I was one of those who bought those skittles and never really used them as I thought I would. I know you are ready for the top on the Gazebo. Hope you can get it up this weekend.

Yes, Paula, I know May is coming real soon. I am going to WM to get the stickers tonight and will work on pricing this weekend. There is a lot to do but think it will go somewhat quickly as I have set things up with like items together. How was your weather last night?

Nancy, any plans for the little ones today?

I was glad we escaped the really severe weather last night but there sure was a lot of it in the area last night. It will be a cold damp day today. Only highs in the 40's today, after having 70's and 80's all week

Guess I need to hit the showers and get ready for work.

Have a great Friday!

Rhonda, no problems with the weather last night but it is rolling in today.

Today I have a open day, it feels really good. I must use it to make some progress!!!
1. Laundry
2. Bills
3. general house clean (quick pick up)
4. work on spare room
5. help with sale pack up
6. feel good about progress!! =D

I haven't done as much as you Pat but L is almost done, (did some bedding too), sorted some books, picked up a bit. I will pay the phone bill on the way to the church. Oh, had lunch with my hubby too. (actually he comes home almost every day for lunch, just thought I would add that cause it makes my list look a bit longer

Hi friends....I feel like I need another few days just to get my head above the water line! The days are spinning by too fast.

Today, my cell phone died so this evening, Terry and I went out to get me another one. I got another iPhone but only spent $70 getting it. They sold me a new iPhone for the cost of a battery. I really lucked out on this one! It isn't the latest and greatest model; it's a slight upgrade from the model I had, though. I'm totally happy with it, though. We did not want to have to renew our contract with ATT at this time, so not having to buy the latest and greatest model was good.

School ended up being great this week. My class is really doing well. I had an interesting interchange with my newest student who speaks no English. I told him to go to the computer and work on an English program. Yes, the program is rather boring, but it does help with learning English. He argued with me a little and I told him to stop arguing with me and to go do it. Well, I did through a student translator. Then, with my limited Spanish, I told him he was being disrespectful to me by arguing. Then, I told him if he continued to argue with me, I would call his mother. That stopped the arguing...and I think he was quite surprised by my firmness! The rest of the day, he was less resistant to my requests!

Another student griped about not going outdoors to PE and I told her if she didn't like my schedule, to ask her mother to get her a different teacher. I'm really tired of the students griping about things in the classroom. That kept her quiet for awhile! I think the students are a bit surprised when I am not bothered by their griping about things.

Rhonda, I'm so sorry you are feeling blue. If I could come and spend time with you, I'd be there in a New York minute!!

Speaking of visiting, next Thursday, I'm going to drive up to Kat's. I'm going to leave right from work and maybe miss some of the LA traffic. Then, on Friday, we'll drive back down here together and bring some of her stuff home (in preparation for her moving out in June). Then, on Monday, she is going to fly back. It will be nice to have her home again for at least a day or two!

Pat, you are as busy as a beaver these days! I'm sure you will be so glad to get your extra scrapping stufff sold and to get that scanning all finished!

Nancy, that burger deal sounds good.

I hope everyone has warmer temps and not too much rain this weekend. I'm off to Kelly's tomorrow to scrap and babysit. Then, Sunday I'll be back home to finish any last minute tax things and get ready for school on Monday. So, I'll check in later.

A very chilly good morning here....it is only 35* here. A few days ago it was in the 80's!!!

I recieved a huge packet of paperwork that needs to be done asasp last night, so I knocked most of it off last night, will finish it this morning.

But first, a GF and I are heading out to breakfast and some fun girl chat.

Afte paperwork, I am going to get busy with the pricing.

Lizzy, glad you were able to get a new phone without an extension of your contract! Enjoy the upcoming visit with Kat. I think you need to establish what you will tolerate right from the start. Then the students will be less likely to try you on everything. Hope the year continues to go well.

Pat, hope you get the gazebo cover on this weekend. A pot of soup does sound good today. I have ground turkey out for turkey chili. This cold, damp, windy day will be a good day for it. I put my hummer feeder out for a few days this week, but didn't see any hummers. I will put it out again tomorrow and try again.

Well better run, my friend will be here shortly.

Oh Laurie, now I see that your walk is tomorrow. I hope you have good weather for that.

Lizzy, I have never heard of Kool-ade mom. It made me laugh!! =D
Hope you are enjoying your time with Kelly today. What did you come up with to work on?
I did post two pics on FB of the kids. I now have enough snacks for fourty kids and I think there are 6 coming!
DH and I went to Panera for dinner and it was snowing.
Now I am going to do my dishes and maybe pop in a movie. Kids aren't due back till around 11 or so.

Let's see Pat. Chex mix, m&ms, nuts, a garlic dip for breads, a spicy dip and salsa for tortilla chips, cookies, pretzels, candy and stuff for a ice cream sundae bar. Yikes!!

Sorry about your storms, guess I won't complain about the bit of snow we got.

FB is puzzling me, two of the pictures I posted have disappeared. Weird.

Paula, those snacks sound good. I ended up having a slice of toast with nutella. I am seeing 3 prom pics on FB and one of them is a duplicate.

I am about ready to call it a night. I am so tired of sitting and scanning.

Rhonda, I see you slipped in while I was checking on the dishwasher and putting a couple things away. I think we should be able to get the cover up tomorrow and hopefully the side curtains. We keep those open unless there is wind and rain, but I like having them. The one where the bike sits also protects it and I don't always have to put the cover on the bike. We are also hoping to get all the yard debris cleaned up tomorrow, although I am sure there is more now than there was this morning. We have a flooding in the area and lots of power outages still.

You sure did make some progress on pricing. I've seen pictures of that garage, so I can imagine how much stuff there is.

good morning... the sun is out, but we are having wind gusts. They say that will help dry out the ground. I have not listened to the news this morning, but I am sure there is flooding in a few areas.
As soon as it gets a little warmer, we are going to get the stuff off the deck and the gazebo cover out of the shed and get started. If we can at least get the top on today, that will be good.

I am going to finish up the storing of my embellishments today and I would like to finish up the pricing of a box of odds and ends. I am probably 75% done with pricing, but there are some things I haven't even gone through yet. All the crops I go to have free swap tables and sale tables, so some of these things can go on those. Since it is so close to the end of the school year, I won't be able to give much to the schools.

I hope Lizzy found something to work on yesterday. I have to make sure I have things for the cards to work on Tues and then I will also work on my heritage calendar. Shouldn't have to haul a lot of things. Still need to find a tiny butterfly punch. I think the cricut will tear velum if I try to cut it small.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning ladies!

It is sure tired out today!

Rhonda, I can't believe you knocked off the front yard already this morning!!! Wow!

This afternoon DS and I (and maybe DS's GF) are going to see Fiddler on the Roof. A classmate of his is playing the role of the father. That will be fun.

Hello, hello, hello!

I did have a fun time with Kelly yesterday! She has inspired me so much to work on losing weight! She has changed her eating and has been exercising and looks great! Her skin is glowing and when she tried on dresses for her church event last night one of them was swimming on her! She was wearing pants yesterday she called her "pp" pants meaning: pre-pregnancy and that meant before her first pregnancy! We talked quite a bit about losing weight, wrapping your head around the whole thing, exercising, etc. I'm so very proud of her, especially because her mother died so young (late 50's) and how much how you look is tied into one's self-esteem.

I took some photos to make into an album for my friend who has cancer but nothing was going together very well. I'm not happy with the photos, so it was taking me quite awhile to get anything accomplished. I think I will try again perhaps next weekend. We talked more than anything else, though!

Today, I have slept quite a bit, catching up for the week. I've printed the tax forms out for Terry to look over and now I have to work on Kat's CT taxes. Otherwise, all I have to do is lesson plans for the week and that should go fast. The kids are working on a project for a story they read and then we are going to be doing science during language arts. We are super-far-behind in science! YIKES!!

I am impressed with everyone's work in their yards and/or getting ready for yard sale type things. Kelly's church is doing a sale of some sort so if I have anything suitable for that, I'll give it to her. However, most of our stuff is more suitable for Goodwill or the dump.

Paula, I saw the pics of Tay and his girlfriend...so cute!

Evening all...

Pat, you and Jim were very busy today. Enjoy the relaxing tonight. Hope the butterfly cut goes well.

Lizzy, sounds like you have a good plan for the weekend and all the driving. I know your week will go by quickly.

I am almost finished pricing. Only need to do the big items now. Then see if I can find some help for the sale and set a date. I also picked up some more twigs and branches from the yard. Wish this wind would quit or I may not have any trees left! Also cleaned the flower pots from the patio ready for new plantings!

I am going to hit the showers and relax a bit myself!
