I really do feel for you! I remember a time when finances were very tough and I struggled. I admire you for working so hard to make a difference. You have our support, if that helps.

Awww....Lynnie....what an emotional and physically jam-packed trip away, and then getting sick...ugh. You're home now and hopefully on the mend.
I've been busy with desk work and things around the house, along with CT work so things have been quiet, just busy for me. I was away on the wkend to our place in WA and did a bit of shopping in Bellingham. It was the first time I shopped for the new baby coming in the spring to our family (my grandson's baby to be). Yikes....I'll be a great grandma...that sounds so weird LOL.

Lynnie, I hope you feel better soon!
Our bathroom is coming along nicely. We painted the walls and ceiling Saturday and Sunday. All the tiling is done and grout will go in this week, as well as the flooring. Got a nice new glass block window for it too (not cheap, oh well). It looks great! Oh yeah, the contractor installed the cabinet too. It looks nice with the tile.
Eren has up and down days. Today was one of the down days. They were just done with people and asked me to pick them up from school, which is not a big deal. I distracted them for a while with cat-related research (we are getting one next month) but I guess is wasn't enough for them. The two of us are pretty happy about getting the cat, and hubby consented though he doesn't like pets. He could see how it would improve our mental health, which is great. It will be nice having a presence around while everyone is gone all day.

I've been away from scrapping and the forums for some time now, but this month I've really been getting my scrapping mojo back, and so thought I'd jump back into the fun here on the forum!! I used to really love chatting with you ladies, and I hope I can jump back in with you all.
We've been trying to get some projects done around the house lately. This month it was the plumbing for the kitchen and bathroom sinks as the pressure was awfully weak. That's all fixed now thankfully. Aside from that, I've just been recovering from Christmas $$ spent haha! January is always like that for me - I always go a bit overboard at Christmas and so money is tight in January.

It's nice to see you around here again Kelley.

Rae, Nice that your weather is getting better, ours is still just winter. But...I will be vacatoning soon in sunny Arizona. Ya, ME!
Michelle, sorry to hear Florida is so cold...hopefully it will warm up for ou.
Doran, I remember those days when we did not have much money and soemtimes we count our blessings for all the little things we did with our kids that they still talk about to this day. Even though money is tight, love is tighter! Hang on, things will get better.
Got a few LO's donethis week and have a few cards to make for birthday's coming up. Working on the last minute trip stuff and with 1 week left to work we will be strolling on the sunny streets of Arizona.

Nice to see lots of chatting in the thread.
I am still horribly unwell. I will be so glad to be done with this and feeling better.
I did get some scrapping done today, which is shocking. It has been a while since I have done any.

Sorry about that dislike Rae, hit the wrong button. It would be kind of cool to cross border like that. Great Falls is about 7 hours for us I think or at least it was when the kids were younger. We used to cross to get back to school supplies.
Alexis is up north in the Northwest Territories this week, tomorrow she flies to Kugluktuk in Nunavut thats a mouthful. She will be north of the arctic circle either their or in Cambridge Bay. She is loving it and having lots of adventures. But unfortunately the aurora has not shown itself yet, she will be heartbroken if she doesnt see it.
My mind goes a million miles a minute and I can't seem to concentrate on anything. I alwasy feel a breath away from panic. I am not sure why.
Austin aced his English exam today and passed grade 11 English. and the Math that we were so worried about was passed too. He doesn't need to take any more math. woohoo.
Weather has been so nice hear, I need to get out more.
Both my ancient ipad and even older computer are giving me fits. I am so frustrated with both. le sigh.
An a pet sounds wonderful. This past couple years is the first time in my life i have not had a pet, and I don't like it. I steal cuddles from my daughters bunny though.

Sherri - Hugs to you! Anxiety and panic can be really rough. I have anxiety, and it is just so frustrating when it happens for no apparent reason. I work at home as a transcriptionist, and sometimes it is so hard to keep myself focused. My mind also races around and skips from one thing to the next. I definitely wouldn't say I have it under control, but the only thing that does seem to help me is to just stop what I'm trying to do - work - and go in my bedroom and get on the floor and stretch and just breathe for a while and try not to think about anything other than my muscles being sore!! It does sometimes reset me for a while anyway.
Lynnie - It has been a couple of days since you said you were still very unwell, so I hope you are doing a bit better!

Good morning, ladies. It's been a busy week for me with CT work and desk work. Good thing I love both or the schedule sometimes would kill me I work well under pressure though and always seem to get things done. We've had a lot of rain lately, more than usual which is saying a lot b/c on the west coast we are known for having lots of rain. They figure we'll break records for rainfall by tomorrow, I think they said the last was in the late 1990's. The garage flooded one day but luckily not for long and I was home to help push it out into the drain. The rain was coming down so fast that it started a buildup before it could drain. So no harm done, it was short lived. TV this wk has been binge watching FBI and Nancy Drew.
Kelley - ya, we always suffer in Jan/Feb from holiday spending and this yr was worse for us b/c we have dental bills for January, both for me and my hubs.
Karen - Arizona...that would be wonderful! I could use some heat right now. It's warmed up but still...wet and chilly. I long for spring now.
Lynnie - sending healthy vibes....get well.
Sherri - ha ha...wondered when I saw the "dislike". I thought....oops...did I say something wrong??? Glad to know it wasn't me LOL. Sounds like your daughter is really having an adventure.
Sylvan - I find scrapping very therapeutic too. When I'm feeling down, feeling pressured/stressed, scrapping relaxes me and creating positive pages gets me in a different mind set. I'm an only child so I understand how he probably feels. Maybe he can have some "me" time, out of the house by himself, out with some of his friends sometimes. Maybe do a few things for him like having him pick movies or a day trip somewhere to include him and then maybe you and your friend go out for some day trips and let him have quiet time at home. I'm sure it'll all work out.
I'm getting to work now. I need more coffee too. Have a great day everyone!

I feel that way a lot and I am never quite sure why. I have a great life, nothing to stress over, but I feel a breath away from panic a lot. You have a lot going on in your life. I can't even imagine being where you are and having to deal with the health issues, etc. You have all my hugs and sympathy.
My one piece of advice is to breath. Sometimes when I take deep slow breaths it calms me a little. I find that part of my panicky feeling is really just a lack of oxygen
Welcome, Sylvan. It is nice to have you here. GS is a very warm community with lots of nice people and no cliques that I have ever noticed. I have been here for a few years now and I am constantly amazed at how genuinely nice the community is. I think trickles down from the leadership. Ginger is a wonderful person and makes kindness a priority in her community.
You can use all your old supplies here without any worries. We have lots of great designers, but you are never frowned upon for using your old stash here.
My husband gradually got used to having a stream of people moving through our home. He doesn't even bat an eyelid now. I am sure if you explain to your friend ahead of time that he is not used to having quite so many people around, she will be very understanding and give him some space to get used to her. On the flip side, if he understands how important this is to you, may be he will work on getting used to having people around
I thought I was truly on the road to recovery this morning when I got up - but then I moved around a little and started coughing again. I think I am much better than I was, but slower to recover than in my younger days - although I never really recovered well from bronchial stuff anyway.
I have been binge watching "Trial and Retribution," an English show. I am on season 22 - but there are only a few episodes a season. It is pretty good, although there is a bit of bad language.
I have also done a bit of scrapping, the first in a while. It has been really nice to get some done, although not many comments. I find that plain, heritage-type layouts don't attract many comments - what is there really to say about them
Still, I love comments and always check anxiously to see if anyone said anything nice.

Lynnie, I too love to check and see if I get any comments on my layouts. I love reading what people have to say... Mostly because it means that someone besides me sees what I am doing. I love scrapbooking for me but I like other people to see it as well.
This week. Well, just like always I've been pretty busy with work. But, it really hasn't been too bad. Yes, I've worked a lot but it hasn't really felt like it because some of the days haven't been quite so long. Although yesterday was like the day that would never end. The money is good though and that makes it all worth it. Well, that and some of the cool people that I work with.
On a related note, if anyone here is a praying person, I have a friend at work that could use some prayers. She is going to Tennessee tomorrow with her daughter. Her daughter just had a PET scan the other day and they think that her cancer might be back. My friend's daughter is 12 years old and I worry not only for her little girl but for her as well.

Hello everyone. Happy to see more chatter here lately.
Lynnie, Sorry to hear you are still unwell, hope it goes soon! I am loving your heritage LO's, lots of inspiration for when I start mine. Thanks for posting them!
Sherrie, I am peeking in on your daughter's trip. She looks so happy and I hope she get to see the aurora. Fabulous news of your son's exams.
Sylvan, Welcome to the group...nice to see newcomers. I will have to check out your LO's...love to see other crafter's styles.
Rae, The weather here is warming up as well with some freezing rain for the next couple days, not normal for us at this time of the year.
Doran, So sorry to hear of your friends daughter. Many prayers for her and her and mother!
So yesterday I broke a back tooth and I want to get it fixed before I go on vacation so off to the dentist today. I have terrible anxiety with dental work caused by bad dentists in my childhood years. I finally found one that I feel comfortable with and she is on vacation...uggg! Hoping everything goes relatively painless and easy.
Enjoy the day everyone!

Dorann - I will pray as well! I can imagine the heartbreak for the mother as well as for the little girl in this situation. As far as the dentist goes - I'm the same way! I had 2 broken teeth for about 2 years that I didn't get fixed because I was scared to go back to the dentist as an adult!! Thankfully, I finally decided to go, and now they are capped and everything is okay. I just had awful memories of the needle in the back of my mouth. If you are like me, you'll be okay and be so happy to have it fixed!
Lynnie - It's no fun when respiratory stuff lingers! Slowly, but surely I guess! At least you are able to get a little scrapping done. When I saw your comment about binging Trial and Retribution with 22 seasons, I got really excited because I love finding interesting shows with lots and lots of seasons. But a few episodes a season is not very cool, haha! I might have to check it out when I'm done with Downton Abbey (I'm on season 5).
As for me, I'm just glad it's Friday today! Yesterday, I developed a migraine in the early afternoon, so it was really a struggle to finish my work. I still have it today, though it is much milder, so hopefully it stays like that. Usually it flares up once I start transcription because of the headset and doctors talking in my ear. Aside from that, it's the last day of January already, and I have 2 layouts I need to finish for a challenge I'm doing. I'm excited for dinner tonight because I'm making "baked ziti" in my new Instant Pot that I received as a Christmas gift. I just love it!

Trial and Retribution does not seem like a few episodes each season because they are long. I have a few others you might enjoy, though. Bear in mind that I subscribe to Britbox and Acorn, so I have no idea how many of these you can get for free. I have them all. There are more, so let me know if you need them and what kind of stuff you prefer to watch. Apparently I watch way too much TV. The nice part, though, is I am generally scrapping, so I can watch the same series multiple times and it is as though I have never seen it before
Silent Witness (Coroner-detective show set in Cambridge, 24 seasons)
Vera (Detective show set in north of England, 10 Seasons)
George Gently (Detective show set in the North of England, 8 seasons)
Midsomer Murders (Detective show set in the fictional county of Midsomer, south of England. 22 seasons)
Inspector Lewis (Detective show set in Oxford, 8 seasons)
Inspector Morse (Morse was Inspector Lewis's boss, 8 seasons)
Endeavour (About a young Inspector Morse, 6 seasons)
Father Brown (I love Father Brown, he is a detective/priest with lovely characters in the 50s, 7 seasons)
Rosemary & Thyme (only a few seasons, but I love it! 3 seasons)
Wire in the Blood (A very intense police series with a quirky, odd psychologist. 6 seasons)
Shakespeare and Hathaway (New, funny detective series set in Stratford on Avon, two seasons)
Murdoch Mysteries (Detective series set in Canada at the turn of the century, 17 seasons)
Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries (set in 1920s, she is an independent woman who likes solving crimes, 3 seasons)
Foyles War (Police series set in the 2nd world war, 8 seasons)
Pie in the Sky (Police series set in the south of England, 5 seasons)
Scott and Bailey (two women detectives who go through a lot of personal stuff while partners, 5 seasons)
INSTANT POT!
Me, too! I love it. I belong to a facebook group and I am surprised at how many people own them and are terrified of them and have never opened the box.

What a week! Last week, I had the g'kiddo's: Wednesday, Friday overnight sleepover and Saturday all day. Here are the 'cliff notes'.
Wednesday was fine. A regular day with the duo.
Friday- started ok. Sarah says 'we are having a sleepover'. Yes... S-Where is David Sleeping?. Me- with you in the hotel room [their name our guest room]. S- how about with you?.... I let it drop.
We do the day...dinner, bath and now ready for bed. S is insistent.. So I ask D if HE would like cushions from the sofa to create a "special bed" in G'ma office. He was so excited for a campout there! Then S- it's not fair...I need David. He's my brother...
OK.. put them down before 9. I go check before 10p [now I'm ready for bed]... lights on and both up and awake... [grrrr]. Silence that one...
We go to bed.
1:15 AM...D has crawled in and on top of me...flip him over between us.
1:20 AM...S arrives with all her stuffed buddies...
1:30 AM .. DH gets up to go potty and is surprised the bed is FULL!
1:40 AM .. take the due back to their room.
2:30 AM... D is up to go to the bathroom and then says.. he is hungry! [nope- kitchen is closed] GO TO BED!
3:00 AM... D is at the foot of our bed staring... you know that feeling when not asleep and someone is watching??? That was it!
Bring him in with us. He is literally a postage stamp on me with his blanket.
6:00 AM.. DH's alarm goes off to play golf, and D wakes up! Tell him be quiet!
6:30 AM... S is awake, comes in and brings ALL the stuffed animals etc.....
They get breakfast.
We leave 8:20 as D has baseball practice at 9 am.
I pulled my back out lifting out his baseball big bag from my car.
Picked up McDonald's at lunch and EVERYONE...took a nap!
My back a week later is still not right, but I had a massage and I am much better!
This week it was W Th F...
Yes, I have a glass of wine.

Alexis got to see the frozen Arctic Ocean today, and of course let me see via photo. So cool. She says the trip has given her so much more confidence in her capabilities. Even though once today she had to sit in a snow bank to catch her breath. The cold is hard on her heart going up hills. She likes Nunavut but says Kugluktuk is very very isolated. It is a fly in community only. If anyone wants to see her posts ask me for a FB friend request, she has been posting and tagging me, so all my friends can see her adventures.
Austin ditched me today and played video games with a friend.
I got to scrap and watch Netflix. am watching Bloodline set in the Florida Keys and omg I love the scenery. The part where the guy wrecks his truck cause he hit a gator crossing the road killed me. Much like us being hit by deer or moose I guess.
Hope you Are feeling better Lynnie.

It has been very nice so far, Lynnie.
I posted my first layout but I appear to have lost it, so I am going to have to re-look at what I am doing.
I have some things from designers here, though I will maybe cull through some of my layouts I like best to post as I start moving forward with other stuff.
Both of them have had a "talking to" and we'll see how it goes- for sure I know six weeks is a lot!
-
Prayers, Dorann. That's a rough situation.
-
Thanks Karen, as I said to Lynnie I need to find some things I'd like to post while I am working my way forward with newer layouts.

My Yorkshire terrorist is tapdancing on my keyboard at the office today, I think she knows it's time to go home.

Thanks Karen, as I said to Lynnie I need to find some things I'd like to post while I am working my way forward with newer layouts.

My Yorkshire terrorist is tapdancing on my keyboard at the office today, I think she knows it's time to go home.

The credit are notorious for disappearing. Just edit and add them back. The layout also seems to be posted twice. Just delete the second before it gets comments

Today was a pretty rough day. I volunteered to work a couple weeks ago because I'm still working my way through the financial situation. Only to be woke up earlier than I wanted to because the scheduled supervisor for the event decided to say that he quit very early this morning. So the boss needed me to run it instead. I really felt like a chicken with my head cut off since I was in no way prepared.
I seem to always get myself into those kinds of situations and all of the thanks that I get is that I will get paid in two weeks and my boss tells me that she is proud of me. I mean hey, a little bit of a bonus or something would go a long way but she has yet to do anything like that for any of us that are willing for the most part to bust our tails day and night.

That is tough - it would be way worse if there were no appreciation either, though! I am lucky that my work was generally well-appreciated and we would get good bonuses at year-end.

Probably not a lot of activity in the forums today with SuperBowl Sunday!

Watched the super bowl with husband, Rand, today. I made the appropriate noises and looked up from computer periodically to ensure I saw the most important plays while I was scrapping. I feel successful.
I also got around to revising my class handouts for the class I am teaching tomorrow on digital graphics. I had to review GIMP. I don't use it, except for the class I am teaching. Last time I opened it was October, when I taught the class. Anyway, I am doing just fine - revised the notes a little and I think I am pretty ready. I can do the first class without thinking twice.
I did a significant amount of scrapping the last few days. I haven't scrapped in forever and I am a little out of practice, so it is taking me a while to get back into the swing of things. I am back on the Sugar Cookie team (I decided I have enough time now), so I made lots of comments in the galleries. The first few days are generally pretty difficult for the cookies because there are so many layouts from our own CT and CT from other sites. I changed my siggie for the first time in forever.
Hope everyone is doing well...

The boy goes back to school tomorrow, starting all new classes for the new term. He is a might bit anxious over it.
The girl flys back home tomorrow. It seems like she left just yesterday but also has been gone forever both at the same time.

Michelle - I love your recount of the time with your grandkids!! Too funny! I'm sorry you pulled your back out though - no fun!
Lynnie - yayyy! Thank you for that list! Looks like there are lots of promising shows on the list with lots of seasons! I'll let you know if I need help finding something. Right now I'm almost ready to start season 6 of Downton Abbey. I have Victoria from BBC in my queue, but I am not sure how I'll like that since I haven't tried it yet. I think I watch quite a bit of TV too, but I'm the same as you in that I can rewatch the same show again because I scrap or do something on the computer while I watch, so I never quite see the full show.
This weekend was relaxing for me. I scrapped and watched TV, did my chores, tended to all the animals, and then yesterday watched the Chiefs win the SuperBowl. Todd was really excited because he's been a Chiefs fan since he was a little boy, and this is the first time they've won. It was a good time! I'm not a football addict by any means, but I can watch it and understand the basics of what is going on.
This morning, just back to the daily grind. Got my morning routine done and am getting started with my transcriptions now.
