Happy day after Labor Day!!

2. September 2008 by admin.

I hope that your weekend was wonderful.  The weather here in Central Ohio was gorgeous, if not a tad too hot.  My face is a slight shade of red from being out in the sun throwing horseshoes.  I played in the big tournament on Sunday.  It was an all day affair with 24 teams and went for about 8 hours.  Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I didn’t have to stick around that long as I lost my first 2 games.  I threw really well on my first game and even though we lost it (it was close) I was happy with my performance.  And for a change, my partner was the one making all the apoligies.  I’m really hoping to get Most Improved for this year, but they changed the criteria from how it was done in the past and there are some women who’ve been playing for several years in the mix.  Whatever happens, I’m getting better and can hold my own and that makes me happy.

 What doesn’t make me happy is that my Dell desktop crashed on Friday.  Two weeks out of warrany.  Isn’t that just the case.  So I hauled out my old one that is ancient and SLOW but works so I can still surf.  I’m not sure what I’m gonna do about my Dell.  I really would love a MAC but I just paid off both the laptop and the desktop and really can’t afford another payment.  The good thing is that almost ALL of my scrap products have been backed up to disk or the laptop so I didn’t lose anything that I paid for.  However, all my layouts are on there and haven’t been backed up.  I know Barb mentioned how important this is a few months ago, but silly me didn’t listen.

There’s a new blog challenge on Heather’s CT blog.  It’s a good one if you ask me.  A great chance to scrap and maybe a chance to win a GC from Heather’s store.

You can get all the details and the download link on the template here.

Don’t forget about my Quote challenge over at the Garden.  I think there’s a pretty good posting bonus that goes with it.  You can find the link in the prior post.

Off to back up everything on the laptop and try to get a few more papers done on the next paper pack I’m working on.

Have a great day and happy scraping.
