~ Sew Sweet 16 ~I’m packing your angry eyes just in case~Aug 2014~ BFF' bag 8/20!!!!

[disneychic2]

Paying off your trip is always celebration worthy!!



That oughta do it!

Neither of my girls ever wanted to learn to sew. V already has skills with those lanyards she makes. It will be nice for you to have help so you can really relax and enjoy your time at the lake without thinking what you could be doing if you were home. Are you going to make her stay in the chair too?

I guess it's a good thing I'm sick, since I've had my nose in my computer looking at fabric on Etsy for the last day and a half!! Just a sinus thing and I'm on antibiotics, but not feeling well enough to do much. Thanks for the new rabbit hole I'm gladly going down….I think.g

I think dots on your red band would be so fun. Simple, understated and fun! Go for it!!

Did you ever think in just two short years that you would be where you are in your sewing skills and your business?? Not to mention all the friends you've made in that time both IRL and online! Your hard work and determination have really paid off! You go!!

Have a fun weekend!

Hey Miss D - its been crazy busy and I had to speed read through what I have missed - FIRST - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AUCTION! Woo Hoo! I know it was stressful, but be proud of yourself - and CONGRATS again on paying off your trip. Do you give your TA all of those GC numbers?

And congrats to Alli for getting the Starbucks job - Shane is working at my office for the summer - he needed a job to keep him busy and we had plenty for him to do around here.

I feel like I worked so hard before my vacation; then I took off for my vacation; then I worked very hard to catch up; then I took 2 days off this week to go to New Student Conferences with Shane at A&M - now I am working like crazy. I think life will slow down a little now (I hope). I want to keep up with all your Disney news!

I sent you a web site on my PM to look into your next vacation. Hope you find some time when you get back from Disney to dive in.

Glad to hear your Dad is doing well. I know he enjoyed your company and visit.

I had better get back to work - just wanted to pop in and say howdy. Take a moment to breathe and enjoy all this Disney planning! Hugs and prayers, Carol

 

[sewmess]

Great Googily Moogily - that's a lot of cards!!:scared

I hope V has fun making your bag. And Alli gets lots of good customer service under her belt and remembers what it's like to be on the other side for the future.

And on a side note: congrats to all your auction winners - they now own a D~ original work of art!! And it's useful, which is a major plus in my book.

Have a great weekend. I swear if I don't sew some this weekend I'm gonna pop!!!

 

[disneychic2]

….


…just wondering if you'll EVER have time to join my ptr….

 

[Clio]

I think it's great that V can help you with your projects. My daughter never wanted to learn to sew. Oddly enough, she does own a sewing machine. If only she'd learn to use it.
The castle bag looks wonderful. I really like the blue back round with the castle. Pink is not one of my favorite colors but it looks good as lining in that bag.
Wow that's a lot of gifts cards. It is nice to have the trip paid for. I'm going to get some gift cards before my trip.
We're almost done with the department reset. Now we have to learn where everything is.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Liz

 

[DMGeurts]

Woo Hoo I received my package from D~ I. LOVE. MY. BAGS!!!!

I showed them to my husband, he grinned & said "I guess you want to plan a trip now"

D~ I can't wait to see all of your customs for your trip

Congratulations to Allison on the job! I wanted to work at that age also And good for Victoria for helping and learning in your sewing room My daughter wants to learn to sew someday

Have a great weekend everyone

Monica

Yay!!! So glad you received them and you love them! LOL I wish my DH would say that every time I sent out a bag... I'd be living in WDW>

I am very excited to see my customs too. LOL I want to see them done - on time.

Thank you - she is very excited to start. She starts on Monday and trains all week.

I love having V's help in the sewing room - when I can get it. For obvious reasons, I can't let her help on my custom orders/auction bags... but anything else I can rope her into, I sure try. LOL

I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.

wow that's a lot of GCs way to go! Looks like you are all set to go. I know I don't post a lot but I read everything.......lol

Hi Trish! Super excited to have them all purchased - it's a HUGE relief to me. Next step... Customs and packing. I have all of my Disney stuff overflowing on the foot stool in my bedroom... I need to start getting it in my suitcase...

Nice job on the gift cards and paying off the trip.

How sweet that V wanted a project and she is helping you.

Hope you have a great weekend (the kids are coming in this weekend and I can't wait to see them).

Thanks Kathy... It's not quite paid off yet... Still have to tell Disney which ones I have. LOL But I have the ability to do it at any time.

Yah - I am so relieved she is helping me - it sure makes it go faster.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend with the kids.

Yay for all the giftcards. It is always a great feeling to have the trip paid off.

I have the "10 pounds lost" mentality right now too. These shorts look ok now, but I am sure after I lose 10 pounds they will look even better. I am hoping by end of July. Without dance lessons after work, I don't have to rush after work to take Chelsea places. So, I am going to start walking to work and back...it is only 2 miles from my house. It wouldn't have worked this week. It has been raining and raining hard. Marissa and a friend walked to Taco Bell yesterday. They were gone for 3 hours. Taco Bell is 2 blocks from our house. I asked her if she was practicing for WDW. The tried to wait it out at Shopko. Then made a dash to Taco Bell. On way home, they ducked into Petsmart to try to wait it out. She was drenched. We have maybe 2 months without rain here (that is kind of generous).

My bags are supposed to arrive today.

Almost paid off - still have to call them in.

Sounds like you have a good plan. I feel like I am kind of stuck again - I might need to resume journaling again after we get back from the lake - just to be extra diligent before our trip, to insure that all of my clothes fit. I don't want to look really huge because I have a muffin top on everything - even if they are 4 sizes smaller than I was last year. LOL

WOW!!! Sounds like a fun rain storm though. We usually don't have that heavy of rains.

Yay!!! I hope you received them, and are happy with them.

I wish they still had a Disney store local here so I could get those discounts. My aunt just RETIRED from the Disney Store! Her and three guests get free admission every time she goes to the parks plus the reg Disney percentage off rooms etc.

Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

Those are awesome discounts... They would sure be nice to have. I *could* go work at TDS, but it's 45 min from my house at the MOA - on a good day... I would go crazy trying to get there in the winter. It's just not worth it for me. Sadly.

Thanks for the link! That's exactly what I need for my jean skirt, my thighs keep rubbing and that's no fun in the hot weather!

I love them... I have the longer version in 2 colors for my maxi skirts... They aren't true "sucker-inners", but they just smooth - which is what I need at this point. Besides, I have an issue "acting like a lady" in skirts/dresses... So, these are just extra insurance to protect the world. LOL I do need to get the shorter pair for my trip though, because my longer ones are only about an inch shorter than my tshirt dresses, and I would hate to have anyone know I was wearing anything under them. LOL

Wow!!!! that's awesome.


still glad you got the tweezers.


I got my Bags yesterday but was UNABLE TO OPEN IT since ALL my kids were on all floors yesterday.. if i went into the bathroom i had one of them knocking on the door. If i went in my room i had another knocking asking if i need help..

yesterday was a bad separation anxiety day for triplets....

Yes - I needed the tweezers... And did you see... I had a coupon too.

So glad you got the bags... Meg will be so excited! I cannot wait to see pictures of your trip when you get back - it's going to be so EPIC!

Paying off your trip is always celebration worthy!!

That oughta do it!

Hahaha... Thanks Lois... It's not quite paid off yet... Still have to hand the GCs over to Disney. THEN I can do the dance.

Neither of my girls ever wanted to learn to sew. V already has skills with those lanyards she makes. It will be nice for you to have help so you can really relax and enjoy your time at the lake without thinking what you could be doing if you were home. Are you going to make her stay in the chair too?

Yah - she is super helpful when she wants to be, that's for sure. I was thinking of getting some sort of seatbelt to keep them in place. Sadly, there is only enough room in my sewing room for one helper... So, they both can't be in there at the same time... Otherwise they really will kick in my claustrophobia. LOL

I guess it's a good thing I'm sick, since I've had my nose in my computer looking at fabric on Etsy for the last day and a half!! Just a sinus thing and I'm on antibiotics, but not feeling well enough to do much. Thanks for the new rabbit hole I'm gladly going down….I think.

It's easy to get lost on Etsy fabric shopping - I do it all the time. I sure hope you are feeling better soon though - it's no fun to be sick.

I think dots on your red band would be so fun. Simple, understated and fun! Go for it!!

I might - I have not decided yet. I have to get all of my other stuff done first - and if I have time at the end, then I will. I'll need to do some research to find out what kind of paint to use and how to seal them.

Did you ever think in just two short years that you would be where you are in your sewing skills and your business?? Not to mention all the friends you've made in that time both IRL and online! Your hard work and determination have really paid off! You go!!

Have a fun weekend!

Absolutely not... I never imagined I would have my own business out of the deal. And I never imagined that I would have so many friends (who are very near and dear to me) to cheer me on. Having this little space and the people here who occupy it have really increased my enjoyment of life. I know that may sound weird - but each one of you are just the bestest friends a girl could ask for, and I am so very lucky. It blows my mind, on a daily basis, that you all keep coming back to read.

Hey Miss D - its been crazy busy and I had to speed read through what I have missed - FIRST - CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR AUCTION! Woo Hoo! I know it was stressful, but be proud of yourself - and CONGRATS again on paying off your trip. Do you give your TA all of those GC numbers?

Hi Carol!!! I've been thinking of you, and hoping I'd hear from you soon.

Thank you - yes it was super stressful - but I am so ELATED to have it over - really over. LOL Yes, I do give my TA all those numbers... But in my defense - I told her, before she took me on, that's how I pay for all of my trips - so she knew exactly what she was getting into. One of the MANY reasons I love her so much - she is just the best. I wish I could take all of the GCs into TDS and combine them on to one - but Disney doesn't allow that, sadly - so this is the only way I can do it.

And congrats to Alli for getting the Starbucks job - Shane is working at my office for the summer - he needed a job to keep him busy and we had plenty for him to do around here.

Thank you! She starts on Monday and trains all week - she is very excited to start.

That is great for Shane - I hope he has fun and enjoys it.

I feel like I worked so hard before my vacation; then I took off for my vacation; then I worked very hard to catch up; then I took 2 days off this week to go to New Student Conferences with Shane at A&M - now I am working like crazy. I think life will slow down a little now (I hope). I want to keep up with all your Disney news!

That is EXACLY how I feel... I work so darn hard leading up to our trips... Then I am straight into working again the minute I get home... This time, I tried to give myself some extra time off - but it seems to be filling up as I go along. I will need a vacation from my vacation soon.

Glad to have you back though Carol.

I sent you a web site on my PM to look into your next vacation. Hope you find some time when you get back from Disney to dive in.

Hmmm... I don't think I have received a PM from you recently...

Glad to hear your Dad is doing well. I know he enjoyed your company and visit.

Yes, he is doing very well... He is planning a trip to Washington state/Oregon in a few weeks with my aunt and uncle... They are coming here for a class reunion, then driving him back with them... Which means, at the beginning of August - before we leave on our trip - I have to fly out to Portland to bring him home. He has never flown before, and he is very scared to fly. We thought about taking a train, but it's a 40 hour train ride, and I just don't think I can take that much time out of my schedule. I think he will be just fine, as long as I am there to fly with him. I will put him in an aisle seat, and I think he might actually enjoy it. I am planning to fly out on a Wednesday, and come home on a Sunday... Wish me luck that it all works out.

I had better get back to work - just wanted to pop in and say howdy. Take a moment to breathe and enjoy all this Disney planning! Hugs and prayers, Carol

Thanks for stopping by Carol - it's always wonderful to hear from you. I hope you are having a good summer and things are much less stressful for you these days.

Great Googily Moogily - that's a lot of cards!

I hope V has fun making your bag. And Alli gets lots of good customer service under her belt and remembers what it's like to be on the other side for the future.

And on a side note: congrats to all your auction winners - they now own a D~ original work of art!! And it's useful, which is a major plus in my book.

Have a great weekend. I swear if I don't sew some this weekend I'm gonna pop!!!

Yes, it is a lot of cards... We wiped out the entire Electronics section of Disney GCs... Plus V had to run up to the registers and get a few more.

I hope she does too... I hope we can work on it a little bit today.

Yes, I think she will be very good at it, she is a good kid and very personable.

Thank you... It was a lot of work - but it's so FUN to see so many people enjoy what I make and use them. Can't wait until I Spy pictures start rolling in from all of them.

I Hope you get a chance to sew this weekend... I know I'll be sewing all day today.

…just wondering if you'll EVER have time to join my ptr….

Unless there is another one, I think I have been there a few times already? I know I posted there one day last week, then again yesterday morning, then again yesterday afternoon - verifying that I was in the right place. LOL

I think it's great that V can help you with your projects. My daughter never wanted to learn to sew. Oddly enough, she does own a sewing machine. If only she'd learn to use it.
The castle bag looks wonderful. I really like the blue back round with the castle. Pink is not one of my favorite colors but it looks good as lining in that bag.
Wow that's a lot of gifts cards. It is nice to have the trip paid for. I'm going to get some gift cards before my trip.
We're almost done with the department reset. Now we have to learn where everything is.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yes, it's so nice to have her help - especially when she is in the mood to help - it takes very little coaxing from me. Maybe one day your dd will get the urge to sew... It took me a few decades...

Thank you... Pink is not one of my favorites either - but I do love that particular fabric.

Yes - it is a lot of GCs... but it's worth it to have every aspect of our trip paid off. I may buy a few more before we go, just to insure i have enough to buy a few extra souvinirs... I have a few things that I really want to get this time.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend too.

**********************************************************

Well, I worked in my sewing room yesterday morning for a while. I didn't get the entire applique done, but it's really close... If I were to guess - I have about 30 min worth of work to do on it yet.

Then I took Allison to her dermatologist appointment...

Then we stopped at the Lands End outlet, had to try on more swimwear... Lots of stuff interested me, but neither of us purchased anything. Honestly, I was just looking for another black swimskirt, but sadly, the only one in my size - Alli said looked awful on me... So, it was best to leave it behind.

We also stopped at Target on the way home...

Then the grocery store...

Then the liquor store - to get Josh some beer... I was being a nice wife... but when we got home - I saw that he still had AMPLE supply left over from his fishing trip a few weeks ago... Oh well, it was the thought that counted, right?

He made some great BBQ chicken for dinner... Hold the BBQ sauce for me.

Then we all sat around like bums all night... LOL Took a few pictures like the goofballs we are...

Please forgive my stupid muffin top... I don't understand why it was even there? As the shorts and belt are both way too big on me, the only thing I can think is that the swing makes me slouch?

And also forgive the strange swing location on our deck... Josh had to move it because he was cleaning out our gutters.

But we had a nice night.

Today, I will be working in my sewing room all day...

I would like to finish my custom order bag this morning... Then hopefully work on my 'Ohana bag this afternoon. With any luck - we will finish both. I also hope to work on my other Donald Duck felt thingy.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend! Sending out prayers and good thoughts to each and every one of you... And thank you for continuing to come back every day and read.

D~

I hear you! I suppose the way to look at it is at Target you get discounts on things you buy all year, as opposed to TDS would be for something you primarily buy once a year Our closest store is about an hour away- definitely a no can do. There used to be two of them ten minutes away in each direction before Disney went and closed pretty much all of them.

Great pictures!

Okay, so these two lines just made me laugh sooo hard!!

Aww, tearing up! You are so sweet!

HUGE APOLOGY!!! What a dork I am! Of course you came to my ptr right away. I was all over the DIS that day and thought I was posting to someone else's thread. How is that even possible??? I was trying to be funny, but it fell sort of flat, so I won't resend it to the right person. I'm so sorry for the mix-up. I guess the drugs are messing with my brain, along with the lack of sleep!!


Also, I was hanging out on the thread for blinging out the MB and the majority are using fingernail polish but a few use acrylic paint. Sealing them with clear base coat seems to be the preferred method, not top coat. I guess they stay shinier with base coat. Some are using the kits for manicures that have the little dot makers (can't remember what they're called) and the polish that comes with them. Others swear by the polish at Walmart. The neat thing is, you can use polish remover if you don't like the result and it comes right off.

I meant to mention how much I liked your nails in the photos of the DIS meet as well as your bags. A fun bit of Mickey with you!

Have fun finishing up your custom today!

That's true... Yes, TDS would be for something I'd only use once per year... But it would be something fun. LOL

Thanks.

Absolutely NO WORRIES at all... I just thought I was losing it - or missing another PTR that I didn't know about. All is good Lois.

THanks... I love them too! But my fingers have grown out a LOT since Chicago - and I don't expect these to last much longer... However, my toes still look great - and I bet they will last me until I have to have them done for our trip - they've hardly grown out at all. I will be so sad when my nails start looking bad though - I get so many compliments on them where ever we go, and I love having a bit of Disney in my life... Besides - they will be awesome for 4th of July too.

Have fun finishing up your custom today!

Thank you... I did.

**********************************************************

I worked in my sewing room all day yesterday... I was able to finish my custom order bag from last week... I was also able to do the applique on the coordinating wallet... Today, I just have to assemble the wallet and lanyard. I LOVE how this set turned out... Again - it's one of my all time favorites! I need to stop having favorites, I am just like you guys - everyone I do is my next favorite. LOL But this one has something a little different on it - and it's kind of cool. Can't wait to show you all!

The rest of the day, I was a bum.

Josh worked on his truck for a little while yesterday too... Getting some maintenance done before we have to take it to the lake.

I will be in my sewing room this afternoon....

I am taking Alli up to church... I will probably stay for services.

I also hope to work on the 'Ohana bag today... Since we didn't even touch it yesterday.

I hope you all have a glorious Sunday, and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

D~

 

[plutofan0902]

Your trip is coming up so soon! How exciting. We haven't hit the 100 day mark yet but have a bunch of tee-shirts and such coming that help make the days go by faster.

Question regarding your gift card method of final payment (you may have already answered it so I apologize in advance if you have)...Does it take exceedingly long to plug all the numbers in or do you do it over the phone?

I know! We are getting SOOOOO excited! We talk about it a lot now!

How awesome that you have so much cool stuff comng!

It does not take too long to plug in all the numbers... V helped me scratch them all off last night - by the time I finished typing up all the numbers - it took me maybe 30 minutes? It wasn't too bad.

**********************************************************

Yesterday was a good day...

The girls and I went to church in the morning.

Then we came home, V and I worked in my sewing room most of the morning... We almost have my 'Ohana bag finished... It's taking a bit longer than I thought/hoped it would. We still have a couple of hours left of work to do on it... And to be honest - I don't like it as much as I thought I would. I purchased a pattern for it - which I don't normally do very often - and I just don't like the pattern very much. It's not a horrible pattern, but there are some things that don't go together as they should - next time, I'd do it differently.

Anyways... Here's V in action, I love this pic of her:

And here's my final "felt thingy" for my tank top. I did this one in a 5x7 format, and it's a bit too big for my tastes... I may or may not redo it in a 4x4... But I was able to work on this while V was working on my bag.

My back was getting sore - so I called it quits early...

Today... As much as I NEED to be in my sewing room, it's probably not going to happen for long...

It's Alli's first day on the job, she has orientation today. So, I have to have her to town a bit after noon.

Disney stuff:

Today is a BIG day in the countdown of our trip... Today is the day we will be PAID IN FULL! No happy dances allowed until it's official tomorrow though... So, I don't want to see any bananas posted here today. <---- Oops... One slid by...

Annnnd... What better way to celebrate than with a Dismeet? You heard me correctly... After I drop Alli off at Target, I am headed to the MOA to meet my friend Lori for lunch. Most of you may not know Lori (Glass Slippers) at all... I am not sure she has ever posted in my PTRs/TRs? She is a good sewing friend of mine from when the Disboutquers were really active here on The Dis... Most of us have moved over to a private Facebook group now. She is in town for a wedding, and we are meeting at Bubba Gump's for lunch. I am very excited to finally meet her... We've been trying to do a meet for years, but it hasn't happened. Of course - there will be the obligatory photos taken.

Things are happening so quickly now with our trip...

Today is the last day of June - which means I can finally tell you... We made our FP+ selections sometime in June. I will be working on highlighting those in the coming days/week. I was able to snag us a couple of good ones... Hopefully the times work out well for us.

Also, since today is the last day of June - it's also weigh and measure day for me... Since I didn't do it in June at all - it's been 2 months since I've checked in with myself. I am not expecting a huge loss in weight or inches at all, as I don't feel like I've lost anything in that time. But we will see.

I still have a couple of Mini-Planner pages to post... One of them, I will be doing today.

**********************************************************

So, needless to say, my only sewing room time today will be from the hours of 8am to 11am. In that time, I will be finishing my custom order from last week and posting pictures of it. I know the person who ordered it is very anxious to see it.

I was hoping to work on some of our trip customs this week, but alas... It's probably not going to work out too well for me... Tomorrow is the only day I really have free... Wednesday, I work at Target... Thursday, I am grocery shopping for the lake and packing... Friday, well - it's 4th of July! And Saturday, it's Josh's birthday. So, it's kind of a crazy week here!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend... Sending out prayers and good thoughts to all of you!

D~

 

[DMGeurts]

Whoot! Finally... A full Magic Kingdom day... Our ONLY full MK day. Can anyone say, earlier than Rope Drop day? LOL Yup - we will be there early and staying late. I am very excited about this day... It has one of our MUST-DO every trip ADRs... And another one that we've all grown quite fond of in the last year... It's gonna be a great day!

D~

 

[disneychic2]

Love the photo of V in the sewing room! She looks so adorable in those glasses!! I'm glad you were able to get your latest order almost done. Can't wait to see a photo of it! Yes, the 5x7 might be a little too big. Maybe a little too heavy too. But, if you don't have time to do it again, it will certainly work. It's very cute!!

Time at the lake will be so good for all of you! It looked so peaceful in the photos last year. You seem to be fairly well caught up now. Are you happy about where you are at this point? Are they cool at Alli's work that she'll be gone a week? I hope she loves her job!

I'm getting over my sinus infection, but actually feel worse today than yesterday. The cough is just so persistent and my chest feels like Dumbo is sitting on it. But, I know it will pass eventually and am trying not to let it keep me down.

You looked amazing in that photo on Facebook!! You look like a teenager. Just so darn cute!

Well, hope you get everything accomplished that you need to today. Have fun!

ETA: Glad you're happy with your FP+ selections. Won't be long before I'll be grabbing ours. Oh, and I meant to ask you about those things you put around your necks last year for the heat. I can't remember what they're called. Where did you get them? I thought I'd get some for our trip this year. Thanks!

Oh no!!! I missed days 1-6! I will be ferociously looking back for them later . And day 7? Wasn't there a short trip dilemma due to visiting family? Glad that worked out! I love a good 7+ day vacation!

Good Morning D~. It looks like you had a nice weekend. I did the dreaded bathing suit shopping. I kind of wanted a brown suit mainly because I have a brown cover up I love but apparently brown is not in this year.

I started out at Sears looking at the Land's End suits and unfortunately they did not work out for me at all. I'm in between two sizes, the smaller size was too small and the next size up too big. So I headed to J.C. Penney where the suits were all 50% off. I was determined I was not going to get polka dots due to my previous experience with tanning in a polka dot pattern but alas, the one that fit me and looked good was this St. John's Bay one.



Yep, I ended up with the one suit I was not going to get! And check out the flip flops I found to match.



I hope you have a great day! I'll try to check in again later this week as I'm flying up home to visit Mom on Friday 7/4 and won't be back till 7/13. I doubt I will spend much time on the DIS during that week!

I love that suit with the matching flip flops.

Sounds like you had a productive weekend! I forgot to say that I love Lands End bathing suits, too! I need to get a more modest one for the neighborhood pool or pool parties and keep my two pieces for vacation (going to Mexico with DH in October!).

Enjoy your DISmeet and the 4th!

And YAY for paying in full!!! (but no banana yet...)

First off, LOVE the Nemo bag. I mean, really love it.

Your MK day looks fun. You snagged 2 great ADRs. We are only doing 1 full day at MK too. But, I did that because we will have just been to Disneyland.

I love seeing your progress pictures. You are truly doing an amazing job. You always get so much out of your Photopass (Memory Maker), but now I can see there being even more pictures.

You mentioned flying to Portland...hmmmm, got me thinking. I live 2 hrs from Portland. Just putting it out there, if you think you might have some time. I would drive to see you.

Moose is still my favorite character! How is Lottie doing with Max?

Being Irish. you can NEVER have too much beer.

He that buys land buys many stones He that buys flesh buys many bones. He that buys eggs buys many shells, But he that buys good beer buys nothing else.

yes twas taught this at a wee age.. There is another one about not have empty cabinets yet is escapes me...


Enjoy your Day.. time to go and stalk Suzi...
