She makes them in any color/pattern you want. I told her what colors I wanted and she chose the perfect fabric! It is my absolute favorite purse because it is the right size and it is so easy to find everything in it.

Tamara, I know some "poor" people who live in an enormous home full of only expensive things. [8|] And then I hear about how poor they are. 'Tis annoying. Your friends sounds... fun. [8D]


Lol. Well, something I find amusing is that she doesn't get that her laptop can't access the internet anywhere she wants it to. She's always complaining to her dad that when she takes it places she can't get online...and she's mad at the "Apple people" for it (her computer is Apple). She doesn't get the concept of the signals. She just thinks the internet is supposed to work on demand. I know it's wrong, but I just chuckle at her.

I love it, I will have to check out her blog. I am always looking for new purses.


Megan! Its good to see you again! Congrats on the wedding, and I'm glad you had fun in Arkansas. So what have you been reading lately? [;)]

Solo- yeah, people who don't realize how good they have it can annoy me too. Just keep your distance and let things go in one ear and out the other.

Well both of our cars now need fixing. One of them wouldn't even turn over this morning, which is new. Fortunately they should be small fixes, and we have a friend who helps us. The problem with that is that he's really busy and we feel bad calling and asking him for help, but he always offers and tells us to call him back if we need anything. We do thank him profusely and pay him as much as he will let us, but its hard to tell where the line is between asking for help and taking advantage of.

Hi Stacy! It's good to be back. I've been reading SO much lately! I just finished "What Lies Within" by Karen Ball on our trip to Memphis. I tried reading "The Birth of Venus" by Sarah Dunant on the trip as well but I just couldn't get into it. What have you been reading lately?

I am still so tired, it feels like I just can't get enough sleep. Every morning this week I've hit the snooze at least 5 times! I would love just one chance to sleep in but it's definitely not happening this week. Of course, during the week I have to be in to work at 8, but this weekend on Saturday I have to get up early to make my step daughter's birthday cake and then we're doing her birthday stuff that afternoon. Sunday morning I serve in the nursery at church so there goes that idea. Ah..well maybe I can fit a nap in Sunday afternoon! [;)]

Hello ladies. Finally made it back to CW. For some reason, Internet Explorer suddenly hates going to CW on my computer.

We haven't been at this church long enough for me to actually know there was an event coming up to volunteer for. The first I heard about it was when I got the SMS telling me it was on and that arrived on Friday afternoon.[&:]

Kylie[sm=silly.gif]


Kylie, maybe you could ask through the office who you should speak to about volunteering for things.

NicoleAU, yes, it has been getting cooler here. It's been nice. The other night it was 5.6C (42F).

Ugh...started checking out prices here for getting my wisdom teeth taken out. Its gonna be $$$ (no dental insurance). I was told that b/c they're impacted they will want to do a general anesthetic instead of a local, which pretty much lets out going to Mexico to get them done. The person who told me to go to Mexico told me that under no circumstances should I let them put me under. I did find out that at least one of the offices takes Care Credit, but we are already on a 12 month payment plan for the new AC unit that we needed, and I'd prefer to avoid another one. It may be the only way to get this done though.
Besides that, my big summer moneymaking opportunity is now up in the air. Mom is hemming and hawing about whether she wants me to go with them to the feeding clinic or not. She wants me to be able to put in extra hours when they get back, which I can't do for a lot of reasons that she's always known (drive time, my other work, etc). She knows we're getting very close to a deadline because they would have to find someone at work to take my place for 6 weeks.

[sm=mad.gif] She keeps telling me how she needs a break, but she gives herself breaks every day to go out, at least to Starbucks. Aren't "outings" breaks? She might mean breaks from school, but she doesn't do all the school terms, or she'll take a one-credit walking class for the summer (and no Jan terms). What does she want? A semester-long break? She can do that when she feels like it. I think her parents don't want her to though because she's so behind. The summer is 3 months and January is a month and a half. I guess I don't get it. There are students who live like hermits and do every term plus work, every year...I get that way sometimes...well, most of the time. I guess when I think I'm overwhelmed I try to think of others who have it worse or have a family+school+jobs and maybe some other things. I can't really say I need a break when I make breaks for myself every day...and routinely skip days of class for some of these outings and skipping days because I am "over it." (it=school)

Every time I write her now I try to put something in there to try to get her to think about how hard some people have it in life.... but anytime she writes back on my wall I see it never got through...or it went through but didn't really catch. I guess I think I'm pretty fortunate to not be living in the streets like some women I've met...and they have children and no food/clothes. Of course I met them volunteering in a shelter (I mostly helped with the clothing/food and handing it all out), but I guess it changed the way I look at things. Not that that would solve everyone's problems, but I guess I see that I can be in even worse shape than I'm in already.

I have the rest of this week of school left, then one final next week and I'm done. I made a 99% on my last Spanish exam...but I think the final is going to be rough. I kinda wish I'd kept up with it when I got out of high school so it could be easier. For my bioethics final he's taking us to lunch (no test!), and I took that neuroscience final way back in January...and of course since I was auditing chem., I have to suffer through that one again, but maybe I'll suprise myself.

I hope everyone's doing okay tonight. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about my hair. It's still thinning and falling out...no matter what I do. I really hate weaves, but I think I might get one sewn in for a while to see if that helps (it might not).



cherish405 -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 12:06:09 PM)

It's not my computer, so I can't go doing things to it. That, and it's so old that I can't download most things now to keep it working properly. Internet Explorer works on everything else ok, just doesn't seem to like CW all of a sudden.

How's everybody doing today?



DenimDiva -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 12:19:54 PM)

I don't have a problem with IE and CW. I usually come in through FCN- what porthole do you use?



InBetweenDreams -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 12:20:21 PM)

(((((Stacy)))))) I hope you can get your wisdom teeth removed soon... without it costing too much. Hmmm, well I hope she makes up her mind soon so you know what is going on. That has got to be a pain to wait and see like that. [>:]

Wow! That is pretty cool!

Hi Trish! CW is stubborn for me at times too. That is why I use Christianity.com now.

I am doing ok today. I am tired from not getting much sleep last night. My dogs were starting to get better so I gave them a bit of their normal food. Bad idea. Oops... So now I have to fast them for 24 hours and then feed them rice and hamburger to let their stomachs/bowels get a break. Once they seem to be doing better I will put them on their normal food gradually. At least it is just their stomachs. They are still running around playing, drinking water and acting perfectly normal.



Bookaholic -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 12:25:42 PM)

Oooh Nicole I hope the doggies feel better soon!

I'm finally starting to recover from that long drive last weekend. It helps that I've been relaxing and just spending time with the kiddos at night when I get home from work. This is going to be a busy weekend so I want to catch up on my rest now. [:)]



crimsonfollower -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 6:36:16 PM)

Hi ladies!!!!!!!!!! I don't even know when the last time I posted was/what I posted or anything like that. Today has felt like it was like 2 days long, and I still have lots to do.

So my students have realized that school is out in a couple of weeks and their behavior has really changed. I had a hard time dealing with them today and was tired/stressed on top of it - so it was a long day. Then I am going with the youth on their retreat this weekend. I left right afterschool to go make the sandwiches for tomorrow. The person who was suppose to be helping helping me had to go get a couple of things so I found myself watching a couple of kids while trying to make 80 sandwiches. We got it all done, but it took longer than I expected. So now it is almost 8 and I still have to pack as we are leaving right afterschool tomorrow. And all I want to do is sleep. Guess I should get off, pack and then come back if I am still awake by some miracle.



BrowneyedAL -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/8/2008 8:14:55 PM)

Hi ladies...I've missed you all. Between rent time and my sinus and ear infection returning...the only time I've been on the computer has been to do work. Starting to feel a little better...and the biggest rush is over at work...so I thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing and say hello.

I never used to have problems with IE and CW, but it's just started recently. It just will NOT let me in. Thankfully I remembered that I can use other portals. It won't let me use some, but thankfully it lets me use FCN.

Nicole, I hope the dogs are better soon.

Browneyed, I hope you're feeling better too. I don't like being sick.



solo_soprano22 -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 9:53:36 AM)

[&:] Campus went on lockdown this morning because a man pulled a gun on a campus safety officer. The man ran away and the lockdown was lifted two hours later, but I don't think they looked for him long enough. I don't think they ever found him (he might be gone of course), but two hours isn't long enough to me...not to search the whole campus and make sure it's probalby safe. [8|]



InBetweenDreams -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 11:53:54 AM)

Thanks ladies! My dogs were doing better last night so hopefully they are better today. They refused to eat their rice this morning. They have no choice though. They either eat rice or starve[:D]. In a couple of hours they will eat their rice. And then I will add hamburger to it later tonight once I see them doing better. [8D]

Tamara, that is scary! And yeah, 2 hours is not long enough. If he wanted to hide he would have so many places to hide. I would stay home today...



cherish405 -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 11:53:57 AM)

That's scary how many schools are having gunmen showing up at them and doing damage.



solo_soprano22 -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 2:10:13 PM)

I just went for how long I had to stay. I just had the one Spanish class left. (And finals start next week.)

They said he was in the bottom level of the commuter parking deck; I always park there but in the upper level. (It's the closest deck near the Sci. Building.) Apparently a campus safety officer was making his rounds (or whatever they call it), and he saw the man in the far corner...wearing all black. He said when he approached, the man waved the gun and jumped the railing, running away. They called some extra people to search and put the campus on lockdown for two hours, but really... how are you sure he's gone in two hours? I guess theoretically we can never be sure he's gone, but two hours isn't long enough. It's not a huge campus, but big enough to take more than that.

I guess even then there's only so much we can do to make sure a person's gone. There are places in the back of campus where someone can basically hike in, but it seems like even the most guarded universities here are like that. There are woods on one side. But I'm thinking if he was in the deck...in a corner, he was probably here for a reason. I can't imagine someone just doing that for no reason....unless he just waited there to scare a campus safety officer...but it was 5:30am and there aren't many officers there. I'd not expect to run into one at 5:30 in the morning. I think he was up to something myself.

I know a few times science professors have been held up at gunpoint for chemicals (so ppl can make drugs). I'd imagine someone would do that at night or very early. I suppose that could have been his motive (or to just get to some chemicals himself).

I think we need some more officers though. I think there are 2 on evening shift, 4 on the night shift, and 3 on the day shift. Campus has to be about 500 acres I think. People say they get bad pay so no one wants to do it, but if that's true (I'm pretty sure it is), then they just need to do without some extras ans get some more officers. We spend a ton of money on things we just don't need; the money could be used elsewhere. We just built a new gym for millions of dollars. There is nothing wrong with the old gym. [&:]



solo_soprano22 -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 5:18:53 PM)

Just found out that there was no gumnan on campus. They said the officer made it up and finally admitted that's what he did. [8|]



InBetweenDreams -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 6:45:01 PM)

Now why would he do that? [&:]



pumpkin -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 8:49:45 PM)

for the attention....

That is the question. [8|] They're still investigating. I'd think he wanted attention, but the attention wouldn't really be on him...until he told the truth, but part of me thinks at the beginning he wasn't going to ever tell the truth. [8|] I guess either way he'd get some attention though.

I was typing when Pumpkin was typing. :)



pumpkin -> RE: May Flowers....Women's Chat Thread (5/9/2008 11:25:22 PM)

we had a security guard in college who set our library on fire. The purpose? To play hero, and look good for some girl as he put it out... unfortunately for him, it got out of his control, and the fire company had to come. Thankfully it was during winter break, so I wasn't there.
