Destination Create!

Well, I was away (JUST ME!!) for the weekend to DESTINATION CREATE! It was awesome!! It was wonderful getaway with other like minded scrapbookers!

I took one class from Jen Backler, and I have to finish that project (maybe tonite?). I got 8 pages done, which I have to just put the finishing touches on two layouts (again, maybe tonite?).

I had awesome roomates (hello Sherry and Cathy!!), got a little bit of sleep, ate too much good food, and had a great great time!! BONUS is that me, Sherry and Cathy all won one of the big prizes for the weekend!! We each won an OTT LITE! It's a travel one I think they call it. No handle, but who cares!! I have wanted one of these for such a LONG time, but cannot justify the price. Now I have one!! (show below). I'm very excited to use it!!









Thanks to Patti, Elia, Barb and the team for making this such a fun fun weekend!!

100th post winners

I only had two comments (I can't believe it from all who read this!), so I've decided to give both girls a prize!

Margo, I will bring yours to DC this weekend, it's all ready for you!!
Joan... when will you next be in Niagara? What is your favourite colour??

I so don't like head colds

Ok, so I don't like sickness of any kind!! But I have a headcold, and lots to accomplish this week. *sigh*

I am going on a scrapbooking retreat this weekend! YAY!! However, with the cold, I'm unmotivated to pack my stuff, and get totally excited to go. Isn't that SAD?!?! Good thing I'm still half packed up from my Spring Day Crop!!

So I'll make a list of things to be done this week, and go from there:

• pack for Destination Create
• do oodles of laundry
• clean downstairs bathroom
• go to Awana
• figure out what to take to the potluck on Friday night
• make supper
• empty dishewasher
• fill dishwasher
• go to bowling with Zachary and Sophia this afternoon
• ride bike to pick up JA
• clean scrappin' table
• put away towels, jeans
• make lunch
• take a quick nap
• blow my nose - LOTS!
  

My 100th Post!

In honour of that, I'd like to offer up a RAK! I'm not going to tell you what it is, but you will like it! :D

So what I want you to do is leave some comment love, and on Sunday evening I will use a random generator of some kind to draw the winner :)

So, while this is my 100th post, I have nothing significant to say! LOL! I'm making a list of things I need to do today... so it's more for me than you!!

• wash 3 loads of laundry (towels, lights, and sheets)
• do dishes

• pick up garbage and other misc crud from the front yard
• bike to school to get JA
• go to Curves
• cook bacon for pizza
• get packed up for the crop tomorrow
• get the make 'n take ready
  

Sunbeam MixMaster vs KitchenAide Mixer

So I want a counter top mixer.

I have looked at both Sunbeam (stainless steel photo) and
Kitchen Aid (the cool pink mixer).


















I don't know much about either of them. I do know that the KA is MUCH more expensive than the SB one.

Do you have a mixer? What brand do you have?? Would you recommend one over the other? I have to say, I do love the pink one, simply because it is pink. I have a cell phone, and I have it because it's PINK!! LOL! Back to my roots... I always loved pink as a child. LOL However, I don't think I can justify the COST for the KA just to get a PINK one!! It is for a good cause... and we are getting a nice tax return this year... hmmm....

I'd be making cookies, merangue, pancakes, that sort of thing. So... please, some comment love! :D

The most expensive toothbrush ever!

Hello!? I'm sure I must have read wrong. Surely it wasn't $44.36 to BRUSH TEETH!? Zachary went to the pediatric dentist today. Holy freaking cow!! The hygenist brushed his teeth... yes, I said brushed, NOT polished. She had him pick out a Mater toothbrush, and used SpongeBob Crest and BRUSHED HIS TEETH!! We were in and out and HOME in about 30 minutes. The printout for me/insurance said "polishing $44.36" yes, it said polishing. I told them that the charge was excessive, that *I* could BRUSH his teeth for $44.36! Give me a freakin' break. No wonder folks without insurance don't go to the dentist when they rip you off like that!! I'm feeling like it was FRAUD to charge that much for 'polishing' when clearly it was NOT polishing they did. Freak.

...this looks like fun and I've seen it on a few blogs now...plus I have absolutely no energy to post anything meaningful or thought provoking today... it's been a LONG stressful day. Every little thing seemed to be SUCH A HUGE THING!!

Thanks for the hugs - Sharon, Mrs. M., Bernie... I'm sure you were all praying for me as well, and I can tell, there were NO EPISODES or outbursts once we got home!! YAY GOD!
