I wanted to have a relaxing evening at home!
I went over to Jason's to do some more laundry. He's out of town, and I'm the ex mother in law.
Well, we didn't break up with him (Ray & I)!
I only did that cause all the AVON wasn't in.
I brought home 3 bags of stuffed animals, the second load is in the washer now.
There IS one more!
I washed my car...cause you know from the ditch photos yesterday that it was MUDDY!
Now it's CLEAN, and I'm sure in the morning all my doors will be frozen shut!
So I DID get the campaign 25 books with the 1 box of AVON that I did get.
I'm going hmmmm over one item in there.
It's the set of 4 Angels on page 12.
I got the teens at the Library those Angels about 1 month ago for a Fundraiser!
Why would they put a fundraising item in the book?
It's the same price, but the kids make $4.50 off each one, getting it for their fundraiser!?
The fundraising item should be something not available anywhere else, so that if people want it, they have to get it from the group doing the fundraising!?!!! GAWD!
When I grow up, I want the fundraising, supervising, what ever it is, job at AVON!!!
So I had to fire up my computer, (and haven't been off of it since) to make more stickers to put on the pages, with the Library phone number!!!
Had to do that for the last Campaign too!
I'm having my annual Princess House Crystal Party.
I decided to fit it in!
People have been asking!
It's on a Weight Watcher night so that everyone can come and pig out!
I'll start baking this weekend! No one will know that I dug it out of the freezer!
November's a busy month for me!
When I was telling the manager at work what I was taking off......
I said, "I KNOW! I'm here forever, and all of a sudden I need the whole month off!"
It won't get any better next month either.....well I DO end up with a few more days off in December....maybe not, with Christmas so close to the weekend!
Ta ta for now!

Scenic Route
You'll never guess what I did on the way to work this morning!
That wasn't all that happened!
I WAS having an all right day!
Except for being in the ditch, but no one was hurt!
I went to get pop at the one and only grocery store in town, to fill the vending machine at work.
It belongs to the residents, and it's my job (?) to fill it....hey, I don't mind most days!
It was the cheapest, and least amount of work involved to raise money for the Residents Association.
So Coke products are advertised 2 for $8.00.
I get to the aisle, and by the COKE it says "Limit of 2 @ 2 for $8.00."
I look all down the shelf at the other Coke products, and that's the only place it says that. The rest of the signs are just 2 for $8.00.
So I get 2 cases of Coke, 5 Canada Dry, a Diet Root Beer, regular Root Beer and a Nestea or something.
My cart's full, I'm heading for the till.
I'm heading for till 2 where there's a smiling young gentleman, and out of nowhere swoops another teller in on her broom, yelling at me that there's a LIMIT of 2 on the 2 for $8.00. Like, of ALL the Coke products, you need to pick 2 kinds and that's ALL you're getting at that price!
Well, I got a little CRANKY then, because remember this is the NEW store, AND THEE ONLY grocery store in town, and they weren't gonna limit the stuff yadda yaddda yadda! I read the write up they had when it opened!
So I might have said a cuss word or two. I know I said, "Well then I'll take 2, I don't want the rest."
Cause really; I'm thinking, who wants to go put 8 cases of pop away!?
By this time, there are words exchanged.....I just decided I was bigger than the teller yelling at me, and all of a sudden she says, "How many do you have."
I said, "What?"
She said , "How many pop all together?"
I said, "10."
And she let me have them! AT THE SALE PRICE! ALL 10 OF THEM!
I told the residents I had to fight for their pop for the machine today!
Then it got better! We finished reaqding the story about Wop May today! It was pretty good!
Then this is what I got in the mail!
Ta ta for now!
Yup, there I am...in the ditch!
Caught a rut, and it just tossed me over there!
Didn't see it coming!
Was only about 1/2 mile from the highway!
Wasn't even going fast.
Got on my phone (remember the day when you actually had to walk to the nearest farmhouse!?) and called Ray...actually I had to leave a message! "Hey I'm in the ditch by so & so's."
So I drank my coffee, took pictures and talked to Kalen on the phone!
Ray said, 'It's a good thing you weren't going fast or the snow might have tipped you over when you caught in the ditch."
Ray said, "Come on, I'll take you to work, I don't know where to hook onto your car, everything is plastic."
Note for next time...apparently you gotta hook onto the frame!
Hardly looks like I'm off the road hey!?
Well the front end was over, and that's where all the weight is!
Love how it flung me around! I'm facing the wrong way.
And I know my car needs washed!
It was muddy last week! Maybe I'll wash it tomorrow, poor thing!
I WAS having an all right day!

Then this is what I got in the mail!
My HAPPY HALLOWEEN Banner! I know, it's after Halloween, and I'm missing an H, a P, and an N, but I was happy anyway! It's really amazing! A lot of work and thought into every letter! Don't forget we had to make 14 of our letters! See, there's my 'O's'!
OK, so it's not a great picture, but I'll be putting it away until next year, and working on the other letters!
I also got this in the mail!
A really cute Thank You card in Halloweeny colors, for the Halloween deprived girl I made the lantern for!
I also gave her a spider bucket full of candy! Might have told you that, consider where I work most of the time; I think it's catchy!
She was thrilled!
Gonna ask her if she made the card herself, cause her mom's the Stampin' Up lady!
I also went to Jason's after work to check on his place. He's working. Did the dishes (again) and I'm not done, and did 2 loads of laundry.
I KNOW....I'm a sucker for punishment! I'll stop again in the morning, and put another load in the washer, and the other stuff in the dryer! By the time he gets home, I should have his laundry done!
That's all I did for fun today, maybe tomorrow won't be so hectic!
What am I saying!? I'll have to sort AVON!
Ta ta for now!
