Well here it is Friday...where does the week go?? Well we had a good superbowl party last Sunday. We all decided it should be on Saturday, so none of us would have to go to work the next day. The rest of the week I finished up Ebay auctions, took a couple orders, and started to pack for CHA. Worked Mon, Tue, and Wed. Wed I got the call to watch Cooper Thursday and Friday. So no work for me!!

Thursday Cooper and I took Cous to the groomer...checked out the animals, he thought that was pretty cool! Then ran to an appointment with Preston for my taxes...yee haw...just hope we dont owe!! Then we met Darcy at Red Robin for lunch we hung out chatting and Cooper was SOOO good. We then ran to the mall to return a CD book....Pop goes the Weasel. Checked out Deception Point. It has 15 discs so it may take awhile to upload them to my IPOD. Dont think I will try to get it done before I leave...won't have much time to listen anyway.

Ran out of Xryon stuff to make the AZ highways post cards...got them all stuck down to papers so all I have to do it trim....that is probably what I will do if I can get a scissors through security. I will have to check on that!!

Stopped at Sandy's and droppped my box of stuff to sell. Hopefull I can just get rid of it!! I will dfind out when I get back from CHA.

I ran to Dollar Tree last Tuesday and found plastic containers for our demo table. Soc made the "tray" that the plastic containers will drop into. Spray painted them hammer black. Then I'm gonna steal 2 clamps from Soc that I also spray painted to attach them to the demo table. I am hoping it will all come together and work...since I havent seen the demo table before...Im flying blind.

Last nite after getting the house picked up and the math tests corrected for Mrs. McCabe...I found out the sink was leaking AGAIN!! That has to be my BIGGEST pet peaves!! Soc volunteered to clean it up...thank God. I then ventured out to the garage to work on those 2 block orders. Well when I was ripping a 6 1/2" board, it came around...skipped the top of the blade and bounced off my tummy. Thank goodness I have enough padding. It broke the skin through clothes and HURTS really bad. I was crying, but more because I felt stupid. Soc then finished for me and I just have sanding left!

Asked mom to make me 2 dog sweaters...well that turned into a night mare.....she stared looking on Ebay to see if it would be cheaper to just buy them. Since I have yarn for her to use I have to go with no. But Im not gonna argue...just give up!

Got one of the block orders, the one for Liz, done. I still have to do Barbaras and get it in the mail. Will probably get it done later today and have Soc ship it Saturday. Was going to try and meet Soc for lunch but Cooper is still sleeping and we decided to do dinner and a movie instead....

Put another coat on the boards and clamps...got most of my stuff packed. Gonna be at the airport at 7:30 tomorrow morning. We then fly to Phoenix...meet Sharon and then fly to Orange County. Then we meet Karen and off to the hotel and then convention center. We are supposed to do a "dutch dinner" with Advantus at Downtown Disney. I told the boys I would get them something from the lego store....then dinner on Monday with Advantus and dinner with Ranger on Tuesday. So hopefully I will be able to post some of the events so I dont forget.

Well back from Tim's WOWOWOWOW.

He showed us his new designs he did for Stampers' Anonymous. They are AWESOME!! We are all hoping for a set from Ted at CHA!!

He also showed us metal gears, metal keys, saftey pins with words, ball chain, subway tokens with a letter and a word, ball hitch clasps, metal stencil sets, tickets, the list goes on and on....can't wait to dive in and play.

We got to hang out for about 3 hours playing and trying out our demo for the winter CHA. Can't wait until Saturday to get to Anaheim.

We also got our t-shirts to wear at the show....very fun!!

Soc stayed home and worked on christmas decorations. We have the outside and the village left, which is a lot but seems a little less daughting!!

We are off to Casa Grande for dinner...chips, salsa, tacos!! yum!

Ran to Fry's for Superbowl stuff, what a nightmare.....crazy busy - I am so used to shopping during the week,,,,I'm spoiled. Until later....

Well here we are...its already February and I am just getting this blog thing started....

I am off to Tim Holtz's today to see the make and take we will be doing for CHA next week. Can't believe it is here already!! I will meet up with Sharon and Pearl there.

Then off to the grocery store to gather supplies for "the party" (superbowl) . We aren't sports fans but I always seem to to get sucked in to a game if it on the T.V. We are having a few friends over and plan to do pizza, wings, and other munchie stuff.

Gotta get the xmas decorations down....I know its already February. Todays the day though and thank goodness I will be gone for half of it....

Listening to "The Appeal" by John Grisham on my Ipod. It is so cool to go to Audible and download a book to listen to while I'm working and driving. So far I have listened to:
"Plumb Crazy" Janet Evonavich
"Invisiable Prey" John Sandford
"Dark Moon" John Sandford

Want to get James Patterson but for some reason "they are temporarily unavailable" at audible, whatever that means.

Going to go out and help Soc with Tim's birthday present. I blew up his signature logo and am going to cut it out on the scroll saw...not sure if he will think it is dumb.....I think its cool. But thats me!!

Later
