Well, DH is on his way home and should be here sometime tomorrow...so, now, I'm trying to get the house cleaning done that I had planned on doing while he was away and didn't do...how on earth does a shower get so dirty?? Took me forever to scrub all the gunk off the walls...now I'm taking a break and then will tackle the bathroom floor...
Whew!! Guess scrubbing the bathroom is better than going outside where it's like a million degrees already!
Stay cool, girls!
I am very blessed (or is it spoiled, lol) to have a dh that scrubs the tub and shower for me! In the 10 years we've been married I've maybe scrubbed it once! My back just can't take it anymore so he's a sweetheart and does it for me! I do the rest of the bathroom though, can't get him to do the whole thing!
Hi All, my home computer has been down since last week and I havent been at work since Thurs. Took me at least a half hr to catch up. So -- belated happy birthday to amanda, Tracy and Michelle. Sorry i missed your bd party! Looks like it was a lot of fun. I dont post here a lot but I am always reading it. Ya think if I stand outside for awhile I might melt some of this fat off? hmmmmmm, might be worth the effort. Nah. Hope everyone is having a good summer. Rose
Hi Rose, we've missed seeing you, you need to come out and join us again! If standing outside in this heat is all it will take to melt this fat off I'm gonna stand out there all day!
We have a count of 11 cards with 10 bodies....any other takers, it will be a fun time!!!!!
It is 11 am at my house and for those not sure where that is I will be emailing directions in a few
I'll bring a pineapple casserole, taco dip, and maybe a dessert since we can never have too many sweet things. Or would you rather have veggies & dip instead of the taco dip?
I got your directions. What's the best way to get to Meade's main gate from my way? Anyone know?
Amanda reminded me that I hadn't posted the next challenge (the honor of which I "won" for winning the rainbow ribbon challenge!) Anyway, here is the challenge, if you so choose to accept it...
This week�s challenge is to use a grid on your card�the grid can be plaid or checked patterned paper, a Harlequin-design background stamp, a hand-drawn grid, a crossword puzzle, etc.
Definition of �grid�:
- A framework of crisscrossed or parallel bars; a grating or mesh.
- Something resembling a framework of crisscrossed parallel bars, as in rigidity or
organization
- A pattern of regularly spaced horizontal and vertical lines forming squares, diamonds
or rectangles.
Post a picture of your card to this thread on Sunday, August 16th. That gives you a week to complete your card. Good luck!
Cleaning my stamp room Friday night, I found a couple SBS card kits that weren't used at a swap. And my card uses a grid square. I'll just throw one of these cards together and use that if that's okay. Gee, I think something finally went in my favor for a change. LOL
Good morning everyone, thank you so much for the warm welcome. I really do look forward to joining you when I can. Today I have the fun task of deciding between 2 designs for the 8/29 swap, and then "working" on some other ones. A great day to stay in my cool basement stamping. Enjoy your day. Lynn
yea DM!!! See cutting is my biggest pain LOL course my trimmer hates me and never cuts straight....
so I think I may finally have to make an appt bout my back LOL 2 alleve & it is still hurting this morning!!! I think buying a bed while preggo was a mistake since I now think it is aggravating my back..oh well maybe they can get me some stronger drugs.
Sorry to hear your back is bothering you. Hope you start feeling better soon!

will you be coming down to 295? I am still a newbie with roads here but I know where 295 is LOL
hmmmm healthy veggies or taco dip LOL actually both sounds great whichever one you feel like will work

Oh, well, since I don't have to pump gas, I guess I can scrub a shower, but boy, I'm sweating like a pig!
Stacy, these are the directions I got off Ft. Meade's website. I'm assuming I follow your directions after going thru the main gate and getting carded???
From Baltimore MD
Go to MD-295 S towards WASHINGTON to US 175 EAST. Follow 175 EAST until you come to the Reece Road
intersection (there is a traffic light). Turn right at the traffic light onto Reece road, and proceed to the Main Gate.
If you can give me directions from 295, that would be great. I know how to get to that point. LOL
Taco dip is less work since I don't have to cut up the veggies, but if people would prefer a healthier snack, I'd be more than happy to fix them.
I think you will be fine with the dip and I have some tortilla chips (dang safeway and their soda deals LOL) They have buy 2 12 packs, get 3 free and a thing of chips so currently I have 2 big bags and will probably have 4 big bags in time for the swap :mrgreen:
Ah, I wish I could do the challenge...My mom's computer is ancient - no way to upload a pic onto it...I can't wait to see what y'all come up with, though!! I saw in our paper that it would be 99 for you today, 95 tomorrow. I am sweating thinking of the humidity!! I hope you all manage to stay cool. DH's luggage was finally found and delivered to him yesterday morning. - Amazingly, it was aaaallll there :p
...DM, I hope your dh's travels are smooth and fast!! I hope you all have a great day!!

I LOVE Sweet Tea, as long as it is made with real sugar. I can't do NutraSweet or Splenda or any other artificial sweetener. I may also bring a non-Hawaiian food item since I can't eat pineapple or citrus. :rolleyes: What a downer I am.

have you seen me do you think I use artificial sweetner LOL Nope I cant stand the fake stuff but nana has a stockpile of diet coke for those that need the chemicals!!!
Are you allergic or just do not like pineapple? I was going to put some on kabobs with chicken but if you are allergic I will make yours without.
not if you want live children at the end of it.....:mrgreen:
I dont know for a quiet day scrapping and eating ice cream with the cat it may be worth it hahahahaha Oh well there is still retirement to look forward to..although odds are with 4 there will be at least one that refuses to move out

Allergy :( It's weird, because it didn't come on until I was in my 20's, but it has gotten progressively worse with some items and eased up with others. When I was pregnant I could have orange juice without any problems, but if I have a glass now it burns my tongue and/or my chest breaks out. BUT I can now have a slice of lemon in my tea or water and be ok. That's why I only let the girls have one glass of lemonade at lunch the other day. Mackenzie seemed ok, but Reganne broke out on her neck and their eczema flared up a little too. It's no big deal, it's not like a deadly allergy, I just avoid it. No need to do anything special.
Maybe I can bring some pulled pork....that's still luau-ish. And I will still bring the brownies. Mmmmm....they are yummy.

Mmmm both sound yummy!!! I will definitely make a few kabobs without pineapple as well! If DM brings nekkid balls too I have Plenty (plenty) of BBQ sauce we can slap on them in a variety of flavors (Honey, Spicy Honey, hickory, Regular)
She thinks I need to see a vascular surgeon for my foot, the circulation has been crumy for a while now. My blood sugars are stable and the really good news is I had lost 6# since I last saw her.
The jitters is diffently one of my new meds and should get better in a few days. Until then I get a few fun anti anxiety drugs if I need them. Over all it was a good report, she was very encouraging.

I'll shred up some pork and bring buns and people can pick their sauce then If anyone in Laurel wanted to go bye Red Hot and Blue and get a jar of their sauce I wouldn't be opposed. One of the very few things I miss about living on base.
I just placed a Hambo order. after I swore I wasn't going to spend any more money on stamp stuff this year. oopsie...most of it was retiring and seconds though...
