Exchangers-Come here and chat with us

[UrsulasMyHero]

There were Spring/Easter and Valentines day things out before Xmas in the Joanne's near my house... Let me tell you, it was annoying. Sheesh, but that just means it'll be clearanced all that much sooner.

I was just sitting here with a cup that I got in an exchange and thought.. "How many of us use the things we get regularly?" This one cup, I don't remember who I got it from, It was probably Mommytotwo or Kirby, but I use it all the time, and smile. Ian, of course thinks it's tacky. (It's a tink cappuchino mug) Phooey on him.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm exhausted from fighting whatever bug I have. Thought it was Bronchitis, but now it might be the flu as I ache something terrible, as well as being exhausted from doing a history write up for my park as part of the WPASADI challenge. Wheee! I know more about that park than I ever needed to or wanted to do.. I even got to "Predict" the future.

Bobbie, do you have a picture of your doggie?

I will go through the pictures to see if I can post one.

How is Blackie doing at your home?

We're home from a great long weekend in Florida. The highlight was seeing the manatees who go to the warm spring at Blue Spring SP. We have gone to Florida for the last 7 MLKjr weekends and this was by far the best weather we've had there. It is so hard to come back to work, and SNOW.

Happy belated birthday to your dad.

My choices
WalMart
Hallmark
Dunkin Doughnuts
Amazon

So, does anyone have any plans for the weekend?
Sunday is my dad's birthday so we are inviting some friends and relatives over for dinner.

So, the QOTD is-
If you were to receive gift cards as a gift, which five places would you pick? It could be for either stores or restaurants.

Sounds like a fun trip.
Blackie is being a little rascal since he is now taking our slippers and bringing it into the lawn. So, we need to remember to put them on the shoe box before we come into the house.

How is everyone?? It's quiet on here today. I had a rough night, my DS woke me up at 2am to tell me he threw up all over his room So that was fun. I had just fallen asleep, I think I got 4 hours of sleep last night. Then DD14 was crying in pain with cramps...it was just such fun. The bright side is that my mom came up to sit with my older 2 and just DD8 and I went food shopping. We had fun! I never get to do stuff with just her.
So how is everyone out in exchange land?????

Hi Kim, sounds like you had a very rough night. Hope tonight is better for you and that you can get more rest.
I am trying to figure out both recipe exchanges, but it is driving me nuts and I am . I don't think I will be doing another one of those in the future. The regular exchanges seem easier to put together, even thought the recipes are just recipes in an envelope .
I have been trying to get things done around the house, but it seems like it never ends. I want a housekeeper .
I want to start the Spring/Easter exchange now .

It's been a rough week for me. My grandfather passed away on Friday. He was 94 and had a wonderful life, and had just spent a week with us after Christmas. But it still makes me sad. He lived with my aunt (his DIL--long story) and she is being ugly and greedy and it's making it so much harder. They already took all his money when he went to live with them, but it's not enough apparently.

I tried to type that in a few times since then, but it sounded too pitiful. Hope I did better this time.


So, who's got a funny story that will make me laugh now?

I'm ready for a spring exchange!

 

[mommytotwo]

I am sorry to hear about your grandfather passing away.
Sorry, I am bad with jokes and I can't think of a funny story, but hopefully someone here is good at jokes.

Start stocking up on your Spring/Easter things since the exchange will be coming up most likely in the middle/ending of Feb.

I've no funny stories either, but my DGF was truly my lifesaver when I was growing up, so I have a bit of an understanding of how you feel.

Best wishes.
Bobbi

 

[kimbac3]

Pennst8r - I'm sorry too.

I don't have any funny stories either. Well I might but I'm too tired to think. The stomach bug spread to my 8yr old last night. Boy do I need a nap!

Patsy, I'm sorry that this recipe exchange is driving you bonkers!! I enjoyed it if that makes you feel better!!

I'm looking forward to the spring/Easter exchange. If we aren't going to get a real winter here we might as well start spring early!!

Kimba

 

[pennst8r]

Thank you, everyone, for all the kind words. I appreciate it!

I'm sorry I missed out on the recipe exchange. I'll be ready for spring.

Sorry to hear your family is sick Kimba--hope you get some sleep tonight!

 

[mommytotwo]

Spring, spring, spring.
I am going to plant some dahalia bulbs today .

 

[pennst8r]

I think I'm on the board too early!

I'm getting my hair highlighted and colored this morning. I officially HAVE to now, not just because I like it. My children are turning my hair grey.

 

[mommytotwo]

Lynne do you have a picture to share with us of your new hair?

I think I will start to get gray hairs soon .

 

[pennst8r]

I will, if everyone else will!

I know there was a huge thread with pictures but it might be fun to see the exchangers!

ok...give me a day to figure out how! Remember, I never did any of the baby shower games because I didn't know how to put a pic in!
