Soreness!

Well, nothing much to report except for the fact that I am sore. Dad passed through the storage unit on Thursday and noticed an overlock on my unit as he passed by. He went to check on it and the clerk would give no info, so I went after school to check. Sure enough, locked out of my own, paid for unit. Went in to check, little girl gets attitude and asks for the unit number like, "dumb ass, you haven't paid", when she sees that it is in fact current she tries to blame it on a "new employee". Yeah, so I'm paying for my unit and locked out of it, the person getting the letters who should be locked out has free access and I'm supposed to assume my belongings are not eventually going to be on the auctioning block since obviously any correspondence is not getting to me regarding the (other unit) being overdue?! She gets snippy so 10 days notice are delivered on the spot. We went up the street and got a steal of a deal on a 10x30 unitl (5 months half off) and regular rent for less that the units we're paying for now.

So Friday I head to the other storage to give my 10 days notice there since now I can put everything in one unit and the hood rat is there, still giving attitude. Whatever. So yesterday Dad and I get there to get stuff out and start moving it to the new unit and the manager has locked us out of that unit because apparently I was the rude one! We finally got in there and emptied out half of it, half of the first unit and called it a day.

Today, we went and finished up with the second unit where the drana occured yesterday. Not going to remove the lock until the 7th since it's paid for until then, but it's empty. Now on to the big items and dad's unit where Miss Customer Service works and then we're done. In the meantime, I'm sore, sore and sore. Apparently moving everything out of a 10x12 unit in two days is a little hard on the body. Who knew?

Well, I'm just about ready to go. I've got the projects ready for K's party and I'm packing up for my class at the Oasis tomorrow. Having a hard time getting that together since I have stuff everywhere and yet, nowhere where it can be found. Must work on organizing the memorabilia and such. So not having a good time digging around for things.

Lucky day today. Heard yesterday we were getting observed today by a team from downtown. Got a call that they had to leave since someone's husband was admitted to the hospital. Kids were going, "YES!" when I told them. Yes, so joyful someone was sick which meant no visit today, LOL. Hey, we take what joy we can get.

One more day and then I'm off for two! I am sooo hoping to get picked for Jury Duty on Tuesday. Yes, I'm still hoping for a long trial just to get away from work for a few days.

Good eats, other stuff

Well, not quite finished with the prep but I figured I'd procastinate a bit:

Just got home from the boys' Open House. They go to a cute little school in Ontario. I really like going to see what other people are doing since I never seem to leave my cave.

We ate dinner at Paulie's. I am so going to have to go back. I had baked Masticcioli (sp?) and it was really good. Next time I'm getting pizza! Mom and Pita were in a big rush to go home, they have novelas to watch. They so need to record their stories so they can watch them whenever like I do :)

Two more days this week, a Monday and then jury duty! How sad is it that I actually am hoping to go? A bad day at jury duty is better than a good day at work, LOL!

Off to check on my SU! order and then finish up prep for K's party.

Almost done

Well, tonight I should be about finished with prep for Kristin's SU! party. I worked on the projects on Sunday, cutting up the cardstock and the rest of the prep is what's left for today. So much to do, trying to get it done today so that I can get ready for my class at Oasis on Friday tomorrow night. I've got to find pix, memorabilia, etc. in the midst of my "organization".

I did manage to organize my M's $ stamps last night. I stuck them into baseball card holder sleeves and put 'em into a notebook. So good to have them in one, safe place all ready to go. Now if organizing the rest of my stash would be so simple. I guess I'll just have to organize in bits, not all at once.

Poppy Ink arrived yesterday too! Lots of good stuff-was totally bad and got all of the add-ons this month so I got two boxes of Poppy love yesterday. Lots of new stamps, papers and embellies. So loving this kit. I'm totally glad I have a subscription.

Well, if I can get the prep done, I'll come back and post the goodies that'll be done at the workshop on Saturday. I'm pretty pleased with some of the projects.

Well, this is not working

Okay, so it's not going to be a daily thing, not a bi-weekly thing, hell, not even a bi-monthly thing from the looks of it. I think blogging daily is not going to happen, will shoot for once a week and see how it goes. I'm not good with hard-core deadlines. Once I miss a day all is lost and I miss 20 more.

The dirt: Seem to buying lots, scrapping little. I'm so hoping to remedy the situation next week when I'm on break. I envision getting up, scrapping and taking a nap or two, then getting up and scrapping again. I'm so hoping to have some sort of scrappage/stampage to share by this time next week.

I did complete one layout last night when I cropped at the Oasis with Echo and Steph. So proud as I have just been getting pix and papers glued down and leaving the journaling and embellies for a later date. Good times=Wednesday at the Oasis. Cropping there also includes dinner at the Little Onion followed by a Starbucks at some point which makes me one happy girl. Just wish I could miss work the following day. Nevertheless, it was good catching up and hanging out for a while. Will have to post the finished product after I get it scanned/stitched. So not happening tonight.
