<--- Carpe Diem!

<---tells Shelley scrapping can be incredibly addicting
<---somehow knew she was in "trouble" when she first pulled boxes of old photos from closet
<---is still thinking about handmade paper, Shellers!
<---wonders if Shelley has seen those stitched papers
<---holy crap (or holy crop!), they're mahvelous!
<---thanks Michelle for idea and tells Michelle <---has been asking around at another forum
<---has also been doing online searches
<---knows she doesn't want to have to hold parties, that's simply not feasible
<---is also wary of MLM schemes
<---tells Melissa <---has heard about Creative Memories for the longest time
<---saw this line called GinX, which has the edgy, customized look that <---is going for
<---is glad that scrapping has veered into multimedia methods
<---just read this long litany and says <---sounds like a nerd, so full of crap (or crop?)
<---sends more HUGS to Robin and says, "He's MINE, I saw him FIRST!":p

Pinky
 
<-- is so glad that Robin is feeling better, even if only a little
<-- is LOL over the hunky lifeguard image
<-- thanks Melissa for noticing!!
<-- finds it so funny how into scrapbooking Pinky has gotten
<-- thinks it's a near-perfect fit for her!!
<-- wants to know what one tool all scrapbookers here: (1) cannot do without, and (2) really wants but doesn't have yet
<-- wants to know what "power cropping" is, and what makes it "power"
<-- had a disasterous first thing today- <-- wanted to meet the guy <-- will be assisting next week, so <-- left to arrive there a few minutes before 8. <-- does not have a garage, so <--'s car was iced over and <-- sat in the car for 10 minutes willing it to warm up (scraper thing didn't work). <-- was therefore 10 minutes late and no one was around. x(
<-- was so frustrated!!! but was laughing right afterwards, not crying
<-- thinks that's amazing in itself!
<-- did GS back/shoulders/biceps yesterday. it was fun!! and moved quickly, despite everyone on earth calling while <-- worked out and interrupting
<-- thinks <-- said that earlier
<-- asks for forgiveness as <--'s mind is not all there so early (yet!)
 
<---says Thanks again for all of cheer up wishes
<---promises never to let the blues keep <---away from here again
<---is glad Amy could laugh at ice holdup this morning
<---thinks there are too many tears around here
<---also wonders about the power cropping
<---sees Cathe doing a power lunge with some kind of sharp impliment in her hand, confetti scrapes flying around her head
 
<-- :eek: }( :eek: }( :eek: thinks Robin is right about power cropping
<-- forgot to ask earlier if Shelley does her workouts right next to her computer or what, because she posts sometimes that she's in the middle of a workout
<-- is really stalling today :(
 
<--- is huddles around WARM coffee mug shivering.
<--- knows everyone will probably laugh to know <--- thinks 34 degrees is COLD!
<--- is happy everyone else is having wonderful weather!!
<--- thinks Shelley ROCKS for running 12 miles!
<--- hope Robyn feels better soon and is glad to see her back as well!
<--- can only do weights in the garage, which is not heated (DH is afraid of scratching the hardwood). So <--- CTX Power Circuit without weights.
<--- actually got a good workout. It was fun! Followed it with 10-10-10.
 
<--- is impressed with scrap booking skills of others.
<--- not exceptionally gifted in creative arenas, but is interested
<--- Tells Michelle: We have a workout area in our finished basement.
<--- should post pictures of it but DH is against pictures on the 'net.
<--- perhaps someday I will get to add pictures...
<--- really like the puzzle mats today!
<--- used 5 rows by 5 rows by 2 layers of brightly colored ones from Bj's club. They but up on one wall and are slightly under furniture on other wall.
<--- tells Wendy no slipping so far.
<--- the step did budge a bit on long hops over step.

<--- tells Christine she hasn't actually run the 12 yet:p
<--- tells Amy that she's doing a one body part a day rotation plus marathon training plus cardio on non-running days, which is a lot to fit in, so she does the weight training part first thing in the morning and is in the family room right near the computer
<--- thinks that was long-winded
<--- doesn't have a dedicated workout "room" but has convinced her SO that we need to make one in the rec room
<--- just wolfed down her soup and a bowl of greens
<--- wonders if anyone could throw her a cookie:p
 
<--says in her book Power Cropping is just plowing through pics and pages and doing a lot of great work and not thinking twice about "will this thing work"
<--thinks that Power Cropping is a lot like being in the first 5 minutes of the Body Max and saying "Yeah Baby, this is where I want to be!"
<---tells Amy that as for tools, <--- is very up and down with the toys. Mostly likes a stupid thingie called a "multipurpose tool" which is for prying up pics that <--- put in the wrong place
<---adds that <--- is not very decorative like some folks whose names start with a big ol' P, but is more utilitarian and speed focused and wishes <--- were more artsy
<---loves to journal and that is the most important part for <---
<---has terrible handwriting, but that only adds to <---'s charm!

Keep your head in line. Your butt will follow.

<---daydreams about having a workout room
<---hopes someday DS and DD move out, but their rooms may be too small
<---would actually like to sell house and move into brand new one
<---house is 25 years old, and everything is starting to show its age
<---just got a new water heater, furnace was acting up early in week, basement flooded again Wed, carpets smell like cat pee
<---anyone want to buy a house?
<---places For Sale sign in front yard (which is mostly weeds) while throwing a frisbee sized cookie northward
 
<--- catches flying cookie in her mouth and gulps it down
<--- yells "thanks Robin!"
<--- doesn't really want a house with carpets that smell like cat pee:p
 
<---asks Robin if she has another cookie she can toss over here:p }(
<---is wondering if anyone has tried pizza from Pappa Murphy's
<---says a Pappa Murphy's just opened in her town and sent her a coupon in the mail
<---thinks they have "Take and Bake" pizza and is curious about it. <---says Friday night is Pizza night at her house
<---totally sucks at scrapbooking
<---wants to sell her house too but it ain't in the cards right now
<---says people with work out rooms are sooooo lucky and she is quite green with envy
<---is pinching her nose because of the cat pee smell

Michele:)
 
<---tells Judy that <---loves her puzzle mats and refuses to work out on just carpet anymore
<---another one here daydreaming about a workout room
<---only has a workout SPACE
<---would love a workout bench at least, and a punching bag
<---geez, how she NEEDS a punching bag!
<---loves Robin's power cropping Cathe imagery:)
<---adds to Melissa's definition and says PC is non-stop scrapping and charging massive amounts of moolah to credit card for materials}( :p
<---tells Christine that 45 degrees is freezing for <---
<---tells Amy <---needs major counseling for current scrapping frenzy
<---thinks it's just a way for her to fill in time that used to be devoted to therapy AND to keep herself from feeling terrified about no longer having a "net"
<---okay... just said it out loud -- or wrote it... whatever...
<---is seeing it and is not happy;(
<---can someone throw me a cookie? make it oatmeal raisin, please

Pinky
 
<--- throws Pinky an oatmeal raisin cookie, supersized;)
<--- tells Pinky that she could be using her newfound free time for much worse things, like soap operas and feeding frenzies
<--- thinks it's great that Pinky has an outlet for her creativity
<--- doesn't actually have any creativity so doesn't need an outlet
<--- is awfully talented with knives and peanut butter though}(
 
<---tosses cookie in air like pizza dough, catches it and flips to Michele
<---adds that <---removed all the calories
<---the cat pee smell adds a whole other dimension when breathing during ab work on floor
<---DH plans to remove carpet and have hard wood floor put down in family room (already have HW floor everywhere else, but family room was added on about 15 years ago)
<---DH's real name is Mr. Procrastinator, so who knows when that will be done
<---adds that never heard of Papa Murphy pizza but Take and Bake sounds like a good idea, since we live about 10 miles from nearest pizza place
 
<---catches Robin's cookie and thanks her for the calorie free version.
<---wishes she could duplicate that trick at home
<---tells Robin we had a serious dog pee situation in our family room at one time. <---'s poor doggies got old and became incontinent. <---had to restrict her pets to that one room so they wouldn't destroy the carpets in the rest of the house
<---says because of stupid floor plan, didn't have another room where she could barricade the dogs.
<---{{{{{hugs}}}}} for Pinky and says there is always a little safety net here whenever you need it;)

Michele:)
 
<---wolfs down supersized oatmeal raisin cookie:9
<---thanks, Shelley!
<---doesn't believe Shelley has no creativity
<---tells Shelley that after she posted pics of shelves she made for Sophie's room, <---was inspired to paint the study and get new shelves (paid for the shelves though)
<---loves peanut butter but has no talent with knives
<---also can't eat that much peanut butter all at once
<---has a strong gagging reflex;)


Pinky
 
<--- is wondering where Susan (dogs2birds) has disappeared to
<--- tells Pinky that building shelves isn't creative, just lots of straight lines and right angles
<--- looked at something she should have avoided and now has the heebidejeebies again
<--- hopes she can get out of here early today
<--- has no gag reflex:eek:
 
<--- ducks to avoid all the cookies flying around.
<--- thinks <--- is officially a giant because a pair of jeans <--- ordered in medium talls are too SHORT by at least an inch.
<--- returned them and ordered the talls which will probably be 5 inches too long... Go figure. :p
<--- thinks a system of ordering by inseams like the guys do would make more sense.
<--- hope Shelley gets over the heebidejeebies and can leave early.
<--- thinks building and installing shelves very creative.
<--- does not have the patience for all of that measuring.
<--- loves <--- DH but is looking forward to some time alone with the girls (DDs) while DH is on a business trip next week.
 
<--- thanks Christine for the well wishes but will NOT be leaving early, as the other boss just came in, as is his wont on Friday afternoons
<--- is convinced he does this just to spite herx(
 
<--wishes <-- could leave early every time Shelley does:)
<--thinks Pinky may need a scrapbook intervention soon
<--has lost 5 pounds of the 11 gained early this month :eek: :)
<--six more to gox(
<--hopes y'all have a good weekend!
