Thank you.

Sorry everyone for being grumpy.

Hopefully after I talk to the dentist, we'll get this figure out. The braces are so far back, I can't even put wax on them.

Maraena, I hope I didn't scare you off with my grumpiness. Welcome.

Did you get your tent and "things" yet?

NO!

I have everything all picked out, but HHBG wants to "test them out" first,a dn is making me go to a camping store and check out tents, because he doesn't trust me to pick out a tent for ME by myself, apparently.

I am going to get the one I want anyway. I can be as stubborn as him.

Ed.... I see you changed your avatar already. Sorry about the loss.

AHHHH!! Steve flipped out and turned the T.V off with 3 seconds left. he said he refuses to watch the Giants win! before that he and Sam were up dancing and screaming at the T,V. So I`m just hiding out here until he goes to sleep.

SO!

OK, I have been asked about my camping "stuff". Since I'm feeling chatty, here's an update.

What I have:

an air mattress.
Sheets, blankets, and towels
christmas lights for the shelter
a flashlight
a toiletries tote
toiletries
extension cords and surge protectors
a timer for the lights
a camp chair
travel ipod player/alarm clock
a lot of motivation and excitement

What I do NOT have:

a tent
a tent putting-up kit (or whatever it's called)
a shelter
a fan
clips for putting up the lights
a good, lightwweight duffle for packing all of my camping stuff in
camping experience

HHBG says we can check out tents while we're on vacation in AZ, and then order them when we get home, since we have plenty of time before my trip. I WANT the tent I chose out, but I have to wait for him to OK it, since it is so much $$ and we both have to agree.

Ok, what on earth is a tent putting-up kit??? Wouldn't that be you??? (Or whoever you can con into helping you? )

Tho, you might need a hammer for pounding in stakes - that's about the only thing I can think of that wouldn't come with the tent.

Oh, yeah - tarp/groundcloth for putting under the tent.

No help. just me. There's a kit you can buy with a mallet, extra stakes, and some other stuff.

I have a tarp.

Heh, I must've missed the grumpiness. I see the edit but I'm not one to get scared off easily. (Heck, I'm not one to get offended very easily for that matter! I also sometimes have issues reading between the lines, being empathetic, offering emotional support, acting motherly, being touched etc. Basically I've been told I must have some odd hormonal balance because I'm more like a woman from Mars - rather than Venus. ) Just been very, very busy of late.

And I wasn't meaning to pick apart your embroidery either. Just was running on limited time, wanted to post real fast, and probably didn't edit my wording as well as I should have. I'm just a rather blunt person and completely unaware of how embroidery works or how much something can be adjusted. (I don't sew. Period. Fiancee does that stuff and I happily let him! In fact, the darling is wanting a sewing machine and I'm thinking of it as a long-term investment in my sizing future.) I was just offering up the differences between the two since everyone else was yelling crock pot without substantiating their opinions. So me being the problem solver that I am, I figured I'd give a visual and textual reasoning for the differences. I'm certain that everyone definitely appreciates all your efforts in even locating a pattern for it. (FYI, I personally think that fry daddies look a lot like drums or even sand buckets.)

Anyhow, just wanted to post that I'm still alive and still somewhat watching this thread. I'll offer up a couple ideas for the braces too: ambesol and wax. Make sure you use that wax religiously for a bit to cut down the tenderness on the inside of your mouth. Ambesol also works wonders for your teeth as they're shifting about. Or, since you're over the legal age (I was 11 when I had my braces), liberal amounts of your favorite alcholic beverage. I wouldn't suggest whiskey or bourbon if you have any open sores (from the braces rubbing) on the inside of your mouth though! That stuff burns.

I did a fast search and found a fairly decent site for packing for camping. Here's the link: http://www.creativehomemaking.com/organizing/packing-camping.shtml
