Thats how I was Sarah. Back to back classes! It is fun though. I am so loving the cake decorating class. I'm debating taking the sewing 2 because my mom was saying she could teach me to do the buttons and I've been doing some other sewing on the side so I might be able to learn from her and just practice. That class is $75.00!!! Plus materials! Yikes! I'll look the pattern over though. Its a project runway top!

You should do both! its so much fun.

I think I remember you saying that you don't have to have your own sewing machine...is this right? Do you still have a picture of the tote bag?

Can you tell I posted that last message in a hurry?

yes, I did borrow their sewing machine. The lighting is not good in either of these pictures but you get the point. The first picture the bag is unfinished that is why its fraying at the top. It just showed the fabric well. The 2nd picture is the finished product.

And while I was in photobucket just for the fun of it

AHH! Scary picture!

My mom has a sewing machine but I don't. I'm excited to start this class. I can't wait until I get to pick out the fabric.

Bye.

Now most stores have those self-checkouts. I think it's good for people who may be too embarassed to have a cashier ring them up. Still, what happends if the machine doesn't work properly and it calls a sales associate over to you to see what's wrong?

CAN WE GET A PRICE CHECK FOR SUPER SIZE EXTRA ABSORBENT KOTEX ON CHECKSTAND 3 PLEASE! Isn't that all our nightmare dream when we're a teenager!

We used to have a family that lived across from us with 4 teenager girls. The mother worked swing shift and the dad worked graveyard, so after school he was asleep and she was gone to work. The oldest daughter (who was 16/17 at the time) used to cook dinner and often times she would need something from the store, so a bunch of us kids from the neighborhood would walk with her. One day she called to see if I would walk with her and I thought it odd that none of her younger sister's would walk with her. Then I found out why. She was buying a GIANT box of Stayfree Maxi Pads! Now back then, Maxi Pads were huge. And they had 5 women in the house, so she bought the huge box! The box was so big it wouldn't fit into a paper sack, so she carried it down the main road in town. I was about 14 at the time and thought I would die from embarassment. I mean everyone seen us and she made no effort to hide the box at all! To this day I still stuff them at the bottom of the grocery cart!

Just like the TV show! J/k! That cake decorating class sounds fun. I know they have them at Michale's Arts & Crafts but I'm not sure of the cost.

The self-checkout machines here say the price for each item quite loudly after you scan it. I wondered what would happen if it would repeat the name of the merchandise after you scan it! 1 HEMROID CREAM! $1.99! 1 PREGNANCY TEST! $10!

You know Safeway is supposed to have that new service where you can go online, input your Safeway Club Card number and it will tell you alternative items that you could have purchased that would be healthier than what you actually purchased.

What do you suppose it would say for those items?

Hemmorhoid cream - You should have purchased SunSweet prunes, 16 oz. package for only $3.99.

Pregnancy test - A healthier alternative would have been Trojan condoms, 12 pack located on aisle 3 for only $9.99.

Seriously, you have no idea how good you young women have it today. I don't know how they made them smaller and more absorbent, but somehow they did. The maxi pads now are about the same size as what the mini pads were back then. They were like wearing a roll of toilet paper between your legs! I can still remember walking funny and wearing loose pants or a dress on those days because they were so large.

Beware- Women only subject:

Back in the day, we used to have to use sanitary belts to hold onto the stupid pads. I won't even go into of what they were like. The day I could start wearing tampons was a day to celebrate.

Good Morning Staley! Both that babies a little stinker already. Last week he was constipating you and this week he's peeing all over you. I predict this baby will be a handful!

I have NO doubt!

So why does everyone like Crocs so much? I got a pair on my last DL trip and while I thought they were ok, they weren't nearly as comfy as my Adidas Ayuna's. They are WAY more comfy than Crocs. Now I can tell you that I hate Flip Flops and I hate having anything between my toes, but for some reason I love these. My sister loves them too, but has trouble finding them in Florida. I just found her a pair yesterday on sale! They are awesome. They have memory foam in them and your feet just sink into them.

I cant wear flip flops. They give me leg cramps, and that is SOOO not comfortable at Disneyland!

So while you young mothers were dealing yesterday with allowing kids to watch certain movies or not, here's what I got to deal with when I got home. As I walked through the door and didn't even have time to set my purse down or take my shoes off.

DD: Mom, remember my friend ******.
Me: Yes, why?
DD: Well she has a problem and needs emergency contraception. You always said that any of my friends could come to you if they needed help with birth control or anything else.
Me: (Inside ).
Me: (Outwardly). OK, what is the story.
DD: Well she just got birth control pills a week ago and started taking them, but had unprotected sex 2 days ago and is worried that she could get pregnant
Me: Let me go take a bath, relax and think about what to do.
DD: OK, I'll call her and tell her you'll think of something.
Me:

So last night after calling pregnancy hotlines & pharmacies I learn that Plan B is available to women over 18 without a prescription, but under 18 needs a prescription. I was tempted just to head to the pharmacy, tell them it was for me and get the pill(s). But I did the right thing, she is going to call her doctor today and get a prescription called in to a pharmacy. DD is giving her money to cover the cost and if she needs a ride to the pharmacy I will pick her up this afternoon.

Me & my big mouth, that's what I get for telling DD that her and her friends can come to me with any problem. Seriously I'm glad she did though and in spite of Chelsie & I having the typical teen daughter & mother spats, it made me relieved that she was comfortable enough to allow me to help. But the inside of me is freaking out. I've known most of these girls since they were in elementary school and I still picture them in pigtails about 8 years old.

OK, I'm calmed down now.

but good Job!

I was raised to be very modest... OK, OVERLY modest about that sort of thing. To the point that I never walked around my own house in the nude, and once when I went to the store to buy feminine products, I was horrified to see two management type guys (in suits) down that aisle discussing something. I walked around the store picking up my other items, but when I went back to that aisle they were still there!

I waited a bit, they still were there, so I finally just walked as fast as I could down the aisle, grabbed my box of OBs and out the other end of the aisle without raising my head. It must have looked totally hilarious! And I was married then!

Of course, having kids rids you of a lot of inhibitions. I rarely get to go to the bathroom or have a shower in peace.

I dont have a problem with it. I never have... my mom on the other hand... OY! We were at costco when I was VERY pregnant with Alex, and I was buying pads... We were talking about them n line, and we walked up to the cashier, who was an older guy, and my mom shushed me... And me, being 9 months pregnant didnt give a CRAP who heard me talking about pads... Plus I figure a guy this age most likely has kids, and knows what happens after a woman gives birth. If not, I dont care!

I never walked around nekid as a child.... but let me tell you, this pregnancy has made me revolt against wearing pants. my family is so used to it by now, it doesnt even phase them.... In fact, if Mikalah sees me with pants on, she gets so excited because she thinks we are going somewhere!

Oh and I lost

15lbs!!! 15lbs!!! 15lbs!!!

One week a 15lb loss!!!!! I used their quik start program that you can use the first week and then after only when you hit plateaus and it WORKED!!! WOOHOOO!!!!

Great Job Shawna!!!!!

Sometimes DBF's grandma will call and tell him to pick her up some Depends on the way home. He won't do it! He'll call me and have me pick them up on my way home from work.

Okay, embarrassing story here. When I had Mikalah, I had an epidural, and pneumonia. The combination of the 2 made me pee my pants EVERYTIME I coughed. and not a little. A LOT! So I had to go buy those poise pads to use.

My grandma has those in her closet... In case anyone has an emergency.

A project runway top? I wonder what they mean by that? The latest fashion?

Project Runway is a TV show on Bravo that has fashion designers competitng against eachother. Like American idol but for fashion! this pattern is one that was developed on ths show.

Just like the TV show! J/k! That cake decorating class sounds fun. I know they have them at Michale's Arts & Crafts but I'm not sure of the cost.

They are about $30.00 a session sometimes you can get them for $15.00 and yes like the TV show!

Great Job Shawna!!!!!
