Yeah...we're SW of Pueblo in the Wet Mountains....but I come to Denver with hubby sometimes and stay in the company apt in downtown Denver.....so we can do a meet up either at an Archiver's or somewhere like that!!! I have several lovely SCS'ers I've enjoyed meeting in Denver!!
Yep! It was a lot of fun to meet someone that I only knew online.
I'll be back later tonight to check in, but I've got a lesson to do with the kids quick before we head off to their swim practice.

And I've met several other SCS'ers in other States while traveling and made life long friends!!! In fact....one and her family are coming for Thanksgiving next week!!!! Scraperwannabe (Misti)!! Her hubby and mine are both geocaching addicts and her boys love my kids! Don't know why...but there you have it! So I'm working on tidying up my stamp room and baking to be ready!
That's exciting Holly. I haven't met anyone on SCS yet, but I do have a lot of great friends.
Maybe some day I'll even get to meet Lee & Alison.
I've met several SCSers. Several on this thread actually. I met Jean (naturecoastcrafter) at StampFest Orlando a few years ago. Also Vicky Gould, Peggy (pegmac71), Pam (Bailmac), Kim (Luv Flowers), and several others at a stamp camp put on by Markie's Mom about four or five years ago.

That would be perfect. Archivers in Highland's Ranch!

Yes and you have all weekend to make them and upload is usually by the following Monday night. I often color images in advance so I can use them cuz I can't color like I like to in 45 minutes generally!
I need a couple more hostesses by the way for December.....the first 3-4 of you to pm me can hostess and I'll give you the deets!
Gail, great to see the photo of you and Sabrina - she's the only other SCSer I've met IRL - she and DH were here a couple of weeks ago when they came up North and we finally remembered to take a photo.

That's interesting! I've brined chicken, but it's not common here and I've never heard of anybody doing a turkey. I'm sure it keeps it a lot moister and more tasty. Me personally, I don't bother with turkey at Christmas - last time I did one was the year my mother had had a heart attack and we hosted Christmas, and that could be 20 years ago!

Yay, I was thinking of you and your DH tonight, Gail. I met DH in town after his work for kebabs, only in more of a diner than the place we went with you. I'm still sad that the Mexican I'd planned to take you to was a victim of the recession here.
I met Sabrina (cook22) when my DH and I traveled to Ireland with a group from our previous church. Our last day was in Dublin and Sabrina and her DH met up with us for a fun meal. Here we are! It was so much fun and our husbands even hit if off too!
So nice that many of you have been able to meet face-to-face. Great photos, and those are two good looking guys!
I have not met anyone from SCS, but I have met people from other online groups which was always fun.
I keep thinking Thanksgiving is 2 weeks away - not good since I will have about 30 people here. So this morning I started my menu and shipping list - hope I only have to go to 2 stores to get it all! But I love having people over - it gives me incentive to clean the house! Is it bad that my kids ask who's coming whenever we clean? And I have to time my cleaning because there's no point in doing it too early! Haha!
Hope your dr visit is quick and uneventful!
Ha, that's me exactly (well just 15 coming) but I mean the housecleaning part and the kids asking who's coming. Ha ha ha. Here's to the holidays.
I've had a busy morning... well, day. I went to the lab for some bloodwork to monitor my blood thinner since I'm taking an antibiotic which I'm not supposed to take with the blood thinner. Then grocery shopping, which took longer and cost more than I intended. Then lunch (chicken fried rice from Chinese take out). Then laundry (still working on that). I still need to clean house because I'm having the Card Ministry Design Team over tomorrow morning.
I've missed a lot of chatting, but it doesn't look like I've missed any prize announcements.
Popping in and catching up. We just got back from Brooksville's hottest restaurant. Coney Island. Footlong slaw dog and a mug of ice cold root beer. Kinda wished I had my bacon jam to go with that to make the cholesterol reading peak.
where in FL is Brooksville? I've only been here a couple years and don't know the state too well.
I'm on the gulf coast, near Sarasota.
Hey, where's Lydia been hiding? I just went out to the dock, very frustrated. I'm so ready to leave this place. Looking forward to spending time back on here later.

I used to live on Anna Maria Island in the city of Anna Maria, but 5 hurricanes and the tourists chased us farther north--west coast, north of Tampa, Port Richey. Weeki Wachee, home of the mermaids. Any of this ring a bell? We're rural, mostly.
Now don't go beating yourself up over a slip otherwise it'll take you down. Put it behind you and move on. You're heading in the right direction. I've been meaning to ask how your progress has been coming along.
My goal is NOT to lose weight fast. I think it's less likely to yo yo if its gradual. I log everything I eat in myfitnessplan.com. I can also log activities which offset calories. So far I've lost 11 or 12 lbs (we are in week . I'd like to lose 70 lbs when it's all said and done and maintain. Ive kind of adjusted my goal through the holidays to to maintain and not to gain
Ooh, I was close to you last Dec/Jan - who knew!? My inlaws live in Englewood.

yes, I went to Weeki Wachee when I was a child, maybe 5 yrs old, hard to believe it's still around 55 years later.
I've been to Anna Maria a couple times to eat, it's not that far from here. Tampa's about 45 minutes to an hour away.
I lived in NJ and it was very congested, I could take a train into Manhattan in 25 minutes. So crowds are much worse there than here. AND since we've been here the hurricanes have skipped over us but have been horrible in NJ. My old neighborhood lost power for about 10 days. Can you imagine?

Where's Lydia go? Last she posted she was going for lunch...hmmm.....wonder what happened to her on the way to lunch? Lydia......PUT DOWN THE BACON JAM!!!!!!!
Catching up while I eat my (very late) lunch at my desk.
I was so lucky to meet the very fabulous Lee (and her sweet hubby) when I was in Denver for work. And I am hoping to meet Jean at the end of the year when she comes to So Cal!
I met quite a few of the old time SCS folks a few years ago when there were a couple of big So-Cal shoebox stamp events, and at CHA when they had a consumer show a few years back.
