Oh and I lost
One week a 15lb loss!!!!!
Shawna,
YOU ROCK!!!
I am going to sign up for the Tote Bag sewing class at JoAnn in April! I'm excited! It's April 14th and 21st. 3:30pm - 5:30pm I can go right when I get off work.
I'm debating weather or not to sign up for the cake decorating class too. it is April 7,14,21,28 6:00pm - 8:00pm so for the 14 and 21st I would be at JoAnn for 4 1/2 hours!
Wow, are we just a bunch of sheep, or what?
DH was so sweet. He was begged to coach a kids' basketball team this spring (DS is playing flag football, which DH will also be coaching), and he signed up for Wed. night practices. He gave me a funny look, and I said, "OKayyyyy..."
He said, "I thought that class you wanted to take was Tuesday nights? This way you could go!" Awwww!
I think I remember you saying that you don't have to have your own sewing machine...is this right?
Ask at the store to be sure. When I called, the gal I spoke with at first said NO, I'd have to bring my own; when I said I didn't have one, she put me on hold for a bit, then came back and said, "OK, we do have one you can borrow for class." So maybe they don't all offer that service?
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!
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.
Back then they were just filled with compacted cotton batting, I think. Today they are filled with the same absorbent gel type stuff they use in disposable diapers. I was stunned the first time I bought a 'mini' maxipad!
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.
OMG, you reminded me of something I'd forgotten! One time in jr. high I "started" unexpectedly while at school. I went to the school nurse, who gave me one of those contraptions and sent me to the bathroom. So there I was in the bathroom stall, trying to figure out what to do with it all! The pad part looked like what we used at home, only it didn't have the sticky on the bottom. And had these big long straps at either end! I never did figure out the belt, I threw it out and just used the pad, hoping it stayed in place until I got home from school.
This is supposed to be me blushing here!!!
SURE it does!
He has always sounded like an intelligent man. Things will work out soon I'm sure.
), so just need to wrangle DS3 a bit until DH goes to bed.
