  • So this weekend was good. I spent most of it scrapbooking. Working on this Halloween album and this lunch pail for eBay. I like doing stuff for eBay because it’s fun to scrapbook, and I feel no guilt taking time to scrapbook when I know I am going to put it up on the block. It helps get my creative juices flowing, like a warm up before a race or something. Plus using up scraps and stuff is so cool. So check them out.

    So I went up to Bj’s parents with him this weekend. They live up in the Tri-Cities in Washington. I like visiting with his parents, but the area is not my favorite. Really brown, and I’m used to really green. I did get to test drive a Mustang GT and a V6 (you know to tell the difference). I really want this car, it is so so so so so so so HOT. However I do have this little twinge of guilt about saying goodbye to my baby. But she’s 16 years old. ๐Ÿ™ I hope my stepbrother will drive her so I can still see her.

    oh and "I less than three geeks" = "I <3 geeks" = "I heart geeks" But I’m not geeky enough to get the HTML to work for a heart ๐Ÿ™

  • Are you a certified geek?ย  Then you know what I’m talking about. So this weekend was really nice. I got to have Bj here From Friday night until last night half way through Family Guy (haven’t watch that in a while and the beginning was so funny!). Saturday I actually worked on getting a lot of stuff done since Bj was out working and then Sunday I got to go cropping with Sue! It was so great to just be creative and hang out with girls while drinking Diet Coke! I also got to see Angela who I hadn’t seen in forever. I came back to Salem in the afternoon and Bj was detailing his old car because he’s going to sell it (a really clean 16 year old Accord, interested?). I couldn’t believe how good it looked so I had to pull mine up. Vacuumed the inside and did all the windows. I found some interesting stuff crammed in between the seats. Well candy mostly. ๐Ÿ™‚ Then we chilled while watching one of our new favorite shows, The War at Home. Bj left just after nine and I stayed up until three working on a very cute project for eBay. Ahh it was a good weekend.
