Almost caught up & ready to go!

I think it was my Aunt that e-mailed this to me. All I know is that I cracked up when I read it.

It reminds me of a skit on the Man Show a few years back for a ficticious product called "Crack Spackel" That cracked me up as well.


Almost caught up refers to my Postcrossing activities.

This past week I mailed out BOTH of the photography books I contributed to & today I mailed out the creative notebook I contributed to. I still have to finish my "In the kitchen" handmade postcards & my matching photo/postcard round robin activites. Those won't be finished before we leave though.

Today I recieved a postcard from South Korea. That is very exciting for me. It is a first from that country. Hopefully my card from Jamacia will arrive soon as well.

In the mail I received the vacation planning kit I requested for our upcomming trip. There are even some coupons included for a couple of the sites we are planning to see! It will be so nice to escape this heat for a few days. Hopefully blogger will let me post photos of our trip when we get back!

The little one is getting teeth again & the oldest one got her ears pierced on Monday. She has been asking for the past few months & we have been able to discourage it. On Monday, she asked again & I told her it was going to hurt. She still wanted them pierced though. After she got the first one done, she didn't want the second one done anymore. Too bad, I wasn't going to pay $40 for ONE ear to be pierced! She screamed & cried but she got it done. After that we went for ice cream. After ice cream she asked to return to the store to tell the lady that pierced her ears sorry. I didn't suggest it, she just did it! She said "Lady, I'm sorry I screamed. Thank you for my earrings." For the record, the studs are now made with 14K gold instead of the stainless surgical steel ones they used when mine were pierced back about 1982.


!!NEWSFLASH!LIFELONG NAILBITER BREAKS THE HABIT!!
Also, it has taken nearly 37 years but I FINALLY have grown out my fingernails! I have been a habitual nail biter for as long as I can remember. I FINALLy have stopped snacking on my fingers & not only do I have natural nails, but they are 1/4 inch out past my fingertips! I even let the manicurist paint them...RED! My hubby LOVES it but I am still getting used to them. I have finally stopped accidentally scratching myself, my kids & my hubby with them. Only ONE broke off & that was a month ago so it is nearly as long as it's fellow nine nail siblings. I must admit that it feels good not to feel ashamed of my nasty, ragged looking fingers any longer.

In closing, I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I must go as I have many things that require my attention before bed tonight.
