Paper

No time to post tonight because once again, I meant to be in bed 30 minutes ago. I didn't get home tonight until 7:00 because I had a massage after work (thanks, Mom, for the wonderful Christmas present!). I haven't had one in so long, it was total heaven. Things have been unusually stressful at work the last few weeks. While I didn't think I felt tense, the boinging of the muscles in my shoulders said otherwise. Like I said, heaven.

Then I spent a couple of hours reviewing about 40 emails from Freecyclers that wanted stuff from the web page I posted the other day. I've emailed all the "winners" to confirm they are still interested, then will email directions. Most of the stuff I'll put in the garage in bags with their names on them, but some of the more expensive & highly popular items, I've asked the people to pick the stuff up when I'm home. One time, one of my first Freecycle experiences actually, someone took their stuff and someone else's too. I think. Can't prove it but it's pretty mysterious. I emailed the suspect and not surprisingly they denied it. The person it was intended for was pretty nice about it. I mean it was free, nothing lost to them. But other than that, all of my experiences have been wonderful.

A couple of friends from work and I went to Scrapbook Creations today at lunch so I could use my coupon which expires tomorrow - for 40% off cardstock. That price is unheard of unless you are buying wholesale online - and those places have large minimum order requirements. So I loaded up, baby!

That little rubber stamp was on their clearance table. It was 10 bucks, marked down 50%. Except it rang up at 90% off. Damn, I hate when that happens. Wish they'd had more - only had a few stamps, nothing else I wanted.

Jen and I share an office with another woman - who has decided she wants to get into scrapbooking. She bought a "kit" on QVC last weekend, during their 24 hour scrapbook-a-thon. This kit has 7000 pieces! I suppose that's counting every tiny brad and doohicky - but damn, 7000?? Jen and I can't wait to see it. So yeah, we dragged her (willingly!) to the scrapbook store today. I know she's feeling a little overwhelmed by it all but we've assured her it will get easier once she gets her bearings and figures out what she likes.

Another one bites the dust!
