It's here!

Now I want to call in sick and go home and play, only I'm the person I would have to call in sick too, and I wouldn't be able to fool myself.

Is it 4:30 yet???

Can you hear it?

Can you hear my fingers drumming out an impatient tune on my desk? You should be able to, I'm rather loud at it ,and rather impatient too. But in a good way.

According to the Fed-Ex tracker website Quickutz Shilhouette Cutter is "on the delivery truck in Sidney, B.C." I should have it in my hands by later today.

Yippeeee!!!!!

Not a Deep Entry


Does anyone watch "Jon & Kate plus 8"?

Should I get my hair cut like Kate's? It looks so easy to take care of.

I haven't said anything to the husband yet. I already know his answer. It will be a definite "No"!

I almost forgot!

Well, actually I didn't 'forget'! I just forgot that I should blog about it ... sorta.

Today, September 14, 2008 is the hubby and my 6th wedding anniversary. I find it so hard to believe time has skipped along so quickly. I'm very sure that life went much slower before I met the husband. Or was in the least bit as rewarding ...

I did have to remind/tell him that I really really really wanted to receive flowers today. I've been disappointed to many times, that I had to put in a good word. He came through with flying colours.

So as requested I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers AND a lovely potted plant, when I came home from church. And I, as is the traditional gift for a 6th wedding anniversary, gave him candy - more specifically chocolate. His favourite. We decided a while ago not to purchase gifts for each other since we are off to Walt Disney World, Florida in less than a month... LESS THAN A MONTH, Oh My!!

And for that matter, at the rate we keep upgrading various parts of our trip we'll also be dispensing with gifts for Christmas and Birthdays, but that's fine with me.

So Cheers to Us!! We survived each other for 6 years. Here's to many many many more! Honey, I love you!

Update on Dilemma


I did it! I ordered it Online?

I'm not sure (yet) when my new toy will be here, but its coming none-the-less.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to say to the lady from the store up island, IF she ever calls me back, but I deal with that the day that happens.

A few of you responded to my pleas from the horns of a dilemma, and I thank you for your words and suggestions.

For anyone who knows me at all, knows that my hobby is paper crafts and specifically making my own cards. This little beauty, the Quickutz Silhouette will open up even more possibilities of creativity. It plugs into my laptop and I can download, cut any shape, graphic, or font I want. (Unfortunately for my Mac using friends - its not compatible with a Mac. Teehee!).

I'm very excited!

The hubby may be a hobby-widow when the package arrives, but to be honest I think he's more excited that I am. Really! Well ... not as excited as when he gets his "Model Railroader" magazine in the mail. But that's an entry for another day.

An Ethical Conundrum (I think)

I'm in a conundrum ....

There is a paper crafting tool that I want to purchase, and its not cheap. There is a supplier up island that is expecting the product in any day now, but it will cost $370.00 (Cdn) plus tax.

Just last night I found an American website with the same product on sale for $199.00 (US) plus tax and shipping (and duty -I think).

I'm huge on supporting local business, but we're talking about a $100 (give or take) savings for me to purchase this online.

What should I do??

The sale is only good for this month, and depends on supply, so I cannot delay this purchase much longer. Am I risking too much to purchase something as expense as this online??? What to do ...

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
