Check this out!

Ok, so I am heading home this afternoon after our "third Saturday scrapbooking" group finished and got almost home and remembered I wanted to go the The Scrapbook Company to see if they had any black and white paper and any of the Elsie Flannigan paper. Make a sudden right turn onto Edwards Road at the light and head that way. I have Allyssa with me, (didn't think about that when I made the sudden turn) and we head into the store. As we go in Allyssa asks if she can get some paper, I say ok, you can have 2 pieces, (of course, when she sees all the papers and colors she goes wild, does she have a little bit of me and my mom in her!!!!). She just randomly picks up 2 pieces of patterned paper, then she heads over to the cardstock, picks out 2 pieces. I let you go instead of telling her I told her she could only get 2 pieces. As I am looking for what I went after, she comes back over, can I get 2 more pieces, I say ok, no more. I am still looking for my paper which I have not found yet, so she heads out again, I have found some papers I am getting and she comes back over and asks can I get some more, I say 1 more piece Allyssa no more and don't ask me again. Here I am looking at the Basic Grey paper, and here she comes back and asks if she can get two more pieces and I say no. She says but you got all that paper and I say that is because I scrapbook more than you do (that was a good answer right, no one has to know that scrapbookers are as much collectors of patterned paper and they are memories!). So I tell her she can get 2 more pieces and that is it. So I get my papers, match up some cardstock to some of the pieces I have and head to the check out. Tell the cashier that one stack is Allyssa's and one is mine so she rings up Allyssa's and puts hers in her own bag and then rings up mine. $37.00 on patterned paper and cardstock, what??????????? And as we go to head out the store I realize that I had went through that store and randomly picked out GREAT looking patterned paper and cardstock JUST LIKE SHE DID!!!!!! So she really does have some of me and Mom in her!!!!! LOL Maybe we can sit down and do a page or two with it. And she even told me that I could use some of her paper if I needed to, what a sweetheart!

Sorry Mom, I know I told you I was going home to clean house, cut grass and wash the truck and I did do that as you read on down this blog, but I remembered at the last minute that I wanted to look for that paper!

We ate at Red Lobster tonight and was getting ready to leave when lo and behold I run into my LONG, LOST COUSIN Donny his wife Sandy and their son Bradley and his girlfriend Savannah. It was like old times with Donny, we never missed a beat, badgering each other about who left who a message last, but I was the one who called him and left a message last.

We are going to the lake tomorrow after church to ride the jet ski. Allyssa is going with us. The weather is nice and it is going to be a good day.

Came home from the scrapbook store, cleaned house, me and Allyssa cut grass, I did the weedeating, blew off the driveway, sidewalks, and front porch, we washed the truck, came in and took our baths, Vincent got the jet ski ready for tomorrow and me, Vincent and Allyssa head out to get something to eat. I am about wore out now. I could go to bed now. Miss Kitty is sitting up here in the middle of my desk, (safe haven from Hanzo, who wants to chase her through the house and bark at her, (his way of asking her if she wants to play, I guess) and she looks at him like he is crazy. Allyssa is right beside me, bugging me to get on the computer, Vincent is in his office, probably on the computer, he just got the Windows Vista program from his brother who works at Microsoft and I have to tell you from what I seen on his computer, I am going to get it too. It rocks!
I think that is it for tonight. :-)
