I'll be doing the same later today.....So, are you going to set up a PC table like I've been reading on other threads? I think I'm going to try it. I really need to get a fresh list of contacts.

The rummage is with my Mothers and More group at a local church. The great thing is that I only have to work 2 hours out of the 3 1/2 days it's open. This year, they're trying a "Marketplace". For $20 we can set up a booth in a designated area. The Marketplace is only open tomorrow from 9-1, the busiest time. I'm doing it...packing for that right now. I'm usually an overpacker, but I am JUST bringing the new items and paperwork. I have to work my 2 hour shift after that at the rummage and then it's off to a show. It'll be a busy day but hopefully I'll reap some rewards. Keep your fingers crossed - my PartyLite friend is doing it, too, and we've set up a couple of bets with each other (first to get a booking, first to get a recruit lead, most bookings, highest sales).

Mom is taking the kiddos to the Krohn Conservatory tomorrow for the annual butterfly show. My kids have gone multiple times... me on the otherhand, NADA!

One of the parents where I work is a Bridesmaid in a wedding there. What a hot and humid wedding that will be. One of my co-workers said with her luck she would feel a bug on her neck and smack it before it realized it would be a rare and beautiful butterfly.

My husband and I have had that same conversation.

Sometimes I look at him and say "we are such 3rd graders". It's a good thing we found each other. I'm sure many people would not appreciate our grade school humor.

How about passing gas? Does that crack you up, too?

 

[katie0128]

<giggle> you said gas <giggle>

 

[raebates]

How about passing gas? Does that crack you up, too?

My co-worker silently passing noxious gas that eventually fills the entire office? No

My buddy laughing so hard she passes gas? Absolutely!

 

[raebates]

Okay, so I made up for yesterday morning. I evidently hit a wrong button and reset my alarm for 5:20 instead of 4:20. Woke up at 5:10 and freaked out a bit. Decided to skip the bike this morning. I'm only working 1/2 day today, so I'll exercise this afternoon. Felt good to get some extra zzzzz's, though.

I agree with you Rae !

What time do you have to be at work?

You sound like me, getting up a few hours before work, except that you are probably on time. I am always 1-3 minutes late. Even if I leave 10 minutes earlier, the traffic is different and I am still a minute late . EVERYTIME !! And I only live 15 minutes from work!!

 

[raebates]

It's one of the many issues I struggle with concerning that co-worker's personal behavior. Only 2 1/2 weeks left before I leave that assignment for good. Yippee!!

 

[raebates]

I don't have to be there until 8. I'm really nuts about being on time, though. Since I'm the one who gets the office ready for the public, I feel the need to be there in plenty of time to have everything ready if someone walks in at 8 on the dot. That means I usually arrive 7:40 - 7:50. I leave my home at 7:15 so I have plenty of time to chat at the PO and pick up a cup of coffee on the way.

 

[genburk]

I usually get up between 5 and 5:30 and don't have to be there till 7:30. SOMETIMES (only maybe possibly once or twice ) I have been on CS and then that will make me late. Just maybe like possibly maybe 3 times !!.

I am the one running out the front door, and wanting to stop and not having enough time to get something. I work with 1-2 years olds, sometimes 6 already there when I arrive, you'd think I would make time for a cup of coffee or something stronger before I get there, but NO. Never can make it in time, so always rushed.

I used to get up about 3:30 - 4:30. Still a minute or two late. I hate that !!

 

[chefjeanine]

How about passing gas? Does that crack you up, too?

"Butt" of course it does.

 

[chefann]

heh heh heh...
You said "butt."

 

[raebates]

See? That's what keeps me coming back to CS--the sophisticated humor.

 

[chefann]

I think you mean the opposite o..... oooohhhh.... I get it.

 

[chefjeanine]

I think you mean the opposite o..... oooohhhh.... I get it.

and the lack of sarcasm. Yeah, that's what draws me here.

 

[katie0128]

This is such a respectful <cough>, wholesome <ahem, giggle, giggle>, supportive <snort!> environment!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

But...... ummmm well... yeah Katie I have to say DIITO!!!!!!! LMAO

 

[katie0128]

Someone "ditto"ed me... I feel special!

 

[chefann]

"Special" like actually special? Or "special" like riding the short bus?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

"Special" like actually special? Or "special" like riding the short bus?

THAT was "spit my water on the computer screen" funny! (As in funny haha, not funny peculiar!)

 

[raebates]

See what I mean? Sophisticated.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

See what I mean? Sophisticated.

We are a classy bunch, aren't we?

 

[raebates]

Very hoity-toity.

 

[katie0128]

Today, I feel short bus special! The remaining brain cell has gone on strike... I think, don't really know what it is doing... but being productive it is not. Oh well! Oh goodie... it's time to go home! Buh, bye office!!!

 

[raebates]

I have two more hours, but I'm counting down the minutes. Freeeeedooooommmmmm!

 

[katie0128]

I can hear George Michael singing...

 

[chefann]

Now I'm picturing Rae wearing a kilt, and her face painted blue....

 

[raebates]

Gee, Ann, good guess.

 

[chefann]

As long as you don't moon them on the way out the door.

 

[raebates]

You take the fun out of everything!

 

[janetupnorth]

Now if she had a blue butt rather than a blue face, that would be once in a blue moon...

 

[raebates]

Janet, I believe we have officially become a bad influence on you.

 

[katie0128]

I don't think that is COMPLETELY our fault... my guess... she had a "bad" side just WAITING to find the right place to come out! And then she found CS...

 

[pchefkristin]

HOLY SNOT! This thing is still going?! WoW!

Just popping in to say HI. Been traveling for a few shows out of state, and then my BIL was in a motorcycle accident four days ago, so its been a long few weeks. Hope everyone is doing well, and earning loads of free products!!

 

[katie0128]

Oh, no! How is BIL doing? How badly was he hurt?

 

[raebates]

Yeah, please let us know. You know how we worry.

 

[pchefkristin]

Thankfully, he wasnt as hurt as he could have been. He had a pretty serious collision with a deer. My sister was riding about 125 yards behind on a friends bike, and watched the entire thing unfold! She thought he was dead for sure. He flew over the handlebars and skidded on his head/face for what they later measured about 60 yards!
By the Grace of God, an EMT was driving home in the opposite direction, and stopped to render aid and called emergency services. He had several hundred stitches and his entire face and left side of his body was a bloody mess. Also, they fixed his scalp, and later re-attached his left ear. Blech I know... too much info? My sister is having a hard time sleeping and eating, as she keeps thinking about those dreaded what ifs.

My folks just left there, and things are definately improving. The first hospital he was seen at immediately following the accident, missed a bunch of his injuries. They stitched his head and sent him on his way. His CT scan was good though, so WHEW! They took him into their local hospital the next day, and they are the ones who fixed his ear and cleaned his wounds. Also found some cracked ribs and some kind of hemotoma (?) on his hand. So, thankfully, we are sitting back to watch him heal, instead of the dreaded alternative.

Thanks for asking though ladies! I have been asking for prayer from around the country, and Erin said they are getting phone calls from all over... even strangers who heard it from a friend, who called to give support and offer prayer. God is certainly AMAZING!!

 

[raebates]

Yes, He is. I'm glad he's doing well. I'll pray for continued healing.

Crappy Day!Between conference coming up (and trying to figure out how to pay for the whole thing), working PT and trying to rebuild my PC biz, today was an overwhelming day... I actually should be getting my oldest DS's stuff ready for Cub Scout day camp tomorrow, but just can't bring myself to actually do anything right now. Was going to mope, watch tv and eat the newest container of ice cream, but decided to hang out here for a bit...

Is this at East Fork State Park? Is it that time of year already? Just a few years ago, I was a leader and would work the week at camp. Maybe I'll drive through there this week, to see a few familiar (and probably unfamiliar at this point) faces. Now I am remembering some good and unbearably hot days.

 

[raebates]

Good morning thread killer wanna-bes.

 

[BethCooks4U]

Good morning to you too!

 

[chefann]

Rae! You're supposed to be sleeping in today!

Nope - not East Fork... we are on the west side of Cincy in the William Henry Harrison District (used to be Shawnee District). Our boys go to day camp at Mitchell Memorial Forest.

 

[raebates]

Rae! You're supposed to be sleeping in today!

I did! I slept in until 5:05! I feel so decadent!

 

[katie0128]

I slept in, too. Of course, I slept in because I forgot to set the alarm clock and then had to rush like crazy to get Kyle to day camp, but was only 10 minutes late to work. But the extra sleep did feel pretty good.

 

[raebates]

Rise and shine! It's a beautiful day, and there are people out there who need PC right now!

 

[chefann]

I'm more on time today than yesterday, so it's already a good day! I got to the post office on my way to work (my new route takes me near a 24-hour staffed branch). Rae- look for a Priority envelope from me in about 2 days. <giggle>

 

[BethCooks4U]

Just wrapped my frames for our exchange (one for Sunday and one for Monday). I put a "picture" in the frames that I think the recipients will get a kick out of. <giggle>













Don't worry! It's not me.
