Tonight I went to my monthly Quickutz meeting at WSD (for all of you non scrappers-Quickutz is a personal die cutting tool with lots of cute, different dies and WSD is the local scrapbooking store) and at this meeting we do a make and take and get a free new release die. Well, this month they came out with the cutest dies-holiday, so I go get my free die and what do I get???
A belt loop!
Are you freaking kidding me??????? Who picks these dies??????? How are belt loops holiday related???????????? They must not want us to stay in the Quickutz club any longer than December since their selection of free dies just stink!!!! Last month I got a pear-and why couldn't we have gotten the cat? witches hat? cauldron? witches shoe? cornacopia? I don't get it!!! The one before that was a cherry die....ummmmm-please tell me how I can fit that into the next layout of Peanut! or any other pictures that I or anyone may have for that matter?
Well, I just needed to share my complaints with someone! Thanks for listening/reading!
Oh and by the way...who exactly is reading this?? Robin, Kip, Linda....anyone else??

Do It Herself!
That's what I plan to do!! I'm headed to Home Depot tonight to a Do It Herself workshop. I figure, why not! I need to be able to fix things with out a man...You never know when I won't have one around! I think we will learn simple things...will let you know later!
I had a GREAT weekend! Had a nice Friday happy hour at a local bar with some friends from work, then to Phil's for dinner. He also bought things to make breakfast on Saturday! I was so excited to actually spend time with him...it has been a while since he works on Saturdays but has had the last few off lately so it was nice to spend time with him! Then Saturday I spent some time in the School's dunk tank for the Fall Festival...It was hot and sooo nice to actually get dunked-and the kids, and parents, loved dunking me! Then Saturday night, Phil and I had another nice evening...I wish everyday were a weekend! Well, I need to get going! I'm meeting Kip and some of her friends at El Cap for dinner first and then to HD!
Have a great Monday evening! If you are in FL, it's getting cooler!!!!!! Yippee!!!!! I am excited to open the windows!!

Brothers
I love my brothers soo much and have enjoyed watching them grow up! On Saturday, we loaded in the car and headed to Jax to see Pat at school. Tim and I had our spots in the back with our mp3 players, his hand held video game, pillows, and blankets, while the folks were in the front. It was a long ride, but was fun. I can't believe Tim is almost out of High School.
My mom had another motive for the trip-talk to Tim about college. Well, I'm sure you all recall the shopping trip we had...Tim just doesn't really talk or offer opinions on things. So it was fun hearing my mom over and over say, "So Tim, where do you want to go to college?" And then silence... I think we have him convinced though that he needs to start working on his applications. Even Pat was telling him to start applying now.
So Pat lives in the dorms...with 2 other players on the team...that are very much into girls (if you know what I mean.) Pat hung out with us Saturday night instead of going out which was nice, since I hadn't seen him since August. We met another guy on the team who is very nice and Pat hangs out with him a lot. He told us that Pat is the only good guy in his room. (We already knew that.) Anyway here's a picture of the 3 of us in his room.
We went shopping on Sunday at the nearby mall-it's all outdoors with very high end stores! Of course Pat saw things he wanted and since the folks were there, he got them. Tim and I sat back and just drooled-actually we were ok though-I figured I had already had my college time of buying so now it's his turn and you all remember how Tim feels about clothes and shopping so no problem there. We went to Target and I kept asking Pat if he needed this or that since mom was buying, and he was really good about things. Of course I asked him about toilet paper and he said no, but when we got back to the room, mom needed to go to the bathroom and he had none...boys!!!
Anyway, we had a really good trip-brought him some banana bread, saw the campus, the town, etc but most importantly spent time with my brothers-and the folks too!

Not a King according to them...
But he is still a King to us! His good friend was crowned King. He and his buddies were all very surprised about him-Justin-getting King. They thought it would be another boy. But I am still so excited that Tim was nominated as King! They lost the game too, but Tim played great.
So-Today I am going to the beach to relax! It has been a looooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg week! I can't tell you how glad I was to see Friday come! So, a few of my girl friends and I are headed to the beach to relax and enjoy the day. It is where we had our end of the year party and had a blast that day, and always seem to let loose when we are there. Then I'll come home and watch some movies tonight.
Tomorrow I'm headed to the spa-I got a half day spa from Phil for Christmas and am finally using it. I will be having an aroma wrap, spa massage and spa facial. Then I plan on having lunch, and relaxing at their pool. So I think I will be nice and refreshed for the coming week.
I'll post pictures of Tim later as I have to go up to my mom's and show her how to download them to the computer-she just takes them to get printed. And I'll bring my camera to the beach too.
Enjoy your beautiful day!

Off to crown a King!
Hopefully my brother! He is a senior this year and is on Homecoming court. Tonight they crown the king...don't worry-mom, dad and myself will be there with cowbells, whistles, noisemakers, video cameras, digital cameras, pom poms, megaphones, etc. anxiously awaiting the announcement of King!
Will he be chosen? Did his peers pick him? Keeping all body parts crossed!!! How cool would that be?!!!!
Joking about the cowbells and other items, but we sure will be there with the cameras. My brother tried to tell my mom that tonight isn't really the night that parents are supposed to come-It's kinda like a pep rally. She said "yeah right-there will be tons of moms and families there awaiting the announcement of Queen, so we'll be there too." So I'll talk to you later and hopefully have some happy news!
