ACOT Message Board

Good Morning!  My window says blue slightly wispy cloudy sky, mild so far.  I had a busy day yesterday.  Repeat today, I think.  I received an email from an Ohio friend; they are here visiting family and hope to visit with me.  Yay!  It has been so long since I have seen them.  Also, I have been following my nephew and his family on FB.  They are coming this way and actually posted picture of Pensacola Beach yesterday, so maybe I will get to see them, too!  No plans for it, but really looking forward to them.  He has a lovely wife and two charming early teen girls.  What to do with them is beyond me.  Also, I think Debbie is coming this way.  Debbie, don't let anything stop you!   Housecleaning continues.  Ho hum.  But, I can't seem to help myself these last few days.  This is so not like me.  The literature I read about brain tumor said there may be a personality change and I am liking myself better!  lol

What are your plans for this blessing of a day?  Have a really neat day.

Good morning! Another HOT HUMID day here - blah! I am looking forward to shutting down the AC and opening the house up once this weather system is done! T-storms later today and rain most of the day tomorrow  I have work today and DD has basketball practice for 2 hours and then a basketball game tonight. That's about it on our agenda today.

Good morning. I just came from the beach where the rain is coming down, the waves are picking up and it is windy. Hurricane Arthur is still quite south of us, but bands of rain and wind are coming in. I figure around noon we should be at the worst for us, whatever that may be. But, I am ready, yard is secured, and I plan to scrap. Sounds like a great day to me. Bibi, so good to see you back!!!!

It's a hot and humid day here with lots of rain coming our way later. I am working until 2 and then need to stop at the grocery store. I am in a Christmas in July card challenge and would like to get a few cards made for that. I was hoping to drive to the LSS but will wait until the weekend when its nicer out.

Morning everyone! I have 2 of the grandkids staying over and this is their Momma's last day of work this week.Not sure what we'll get into.....maybe a trip over to the mall or alittle time at the pool. DGD Kaylee has all-star softball practice this evening so don't really want to have her out in the sun too much today nor just let her lie around and be sluggish. Need to keep her motivated, sometimes that darn cell phone has her too distracted. We don't do cell phones and I guess that's why I have no patience for them!!

I'll be working out with the Wii this morning, lifting weights and some exercising. Hopefully walk with DH this evening but not sure. I have several layouts 'in the works' and hope to finish something today, but not sure if I'll be able to squeeze it in.

Have a GREAT day, all!

I'm heading out for a jog before the rain starts again. Due for more thunderstorms and rain today into tomorrow so going to clean and do laundry. Hope to scrap some this afternoon. 

Morning Ladies, It is rainy, chilly and gloomy where I am. Yuck. I have a couple of things to do around the house then run out for groceries later. I plan on scrapping today but have to admit I am stuck, by that I mean I sit down look at my layout and go blank. The layout is done except for embellies and I just can't seem to finish it. Geeze giant brain fart or what? Well my cherry friends have a great day and happy scrappin'

good morning!  grey this early morning but it is supposed to burn off and be in the low 80's

Welcome to the MB!  I love turning off the AC when possible but TS prevent it.  We are having lovely weather just now so I really can't complain, but company is here so need to keep everyone comfortable.  Good luck in basketball.

Thanks, Susan.  It is so good to be back and ready to chat.  I really did not feel like much participation before BS (brain surgery) and did not realize it was due to the need.  Weird.  Those bands are part of HA so be careful, watch TV to keep up with the news so you know how to be safe.  I wound not want anything to happen to you.

Do you think you will get any Hurricane A?  Have fun making cards,  I have a few to make, too. 

Good morning, Bibi, and yes, while I have someone with Brandon, I'm headed to see you this morning. Natalie is with me if you don't mind. Looks like it's going to be a hot one today. Nat watered my flowers and she and I cooked scrambled eggs together. She's not used to cooking so it was fun to show her how and work with her. I have a pic of course!

Wondering what we are doing for the fourth. I love the fireworks but B's van is in the shop still. We can see a few from the house but not really well and not nearly so exciting. Maybe the grands will come over with a few of their own. Brandon would like that at least.

OK, showered,dressed, dishes done...heading out soon as I only have a limited time to get my to do list of errands done. See you soon, Bibi. Good morning to all the cherries and hope you day is wonderful!

My ds#2 put a two hour limit on all electronic activity fi=or his kids.  It works, too.  It is just a rule.  I need to work out on my WII, too.  And finish up a few cards.  I will be thinking of you as we scrap 100's of miles apart but togetherl

Maybe a trip to the gallery would help.  It does me, most times.  Just looking at something someone else did that is similar.

What does he not do anymore?  Vacation sounds lovely.  I love getting my hair done. 

Good Morning - it is a beautiful 62 degree morning with a little over cast. I just got home last night from my business trip to Hartford CT. It is sure good to be home, but I had an awesome time meeting Lori aka croppinmama. I really have missed being on the board here. So now I am trying to place catch up. No other plans for today except to get ready to leave tomorrow for a great weekend at my Bestie's house

It is just under 70 this morning-- super cool for us this time of year. Already walked the pups.... just doing some catch up on the board. I have been super busy at work and not really able to get on all week. I am off the rest of the week. So after checking in here, I want to eat something and then hopefully SCRAP! I say to heck with vacuuming and doing the dishes! HA!
I hope all have a wonderful day!

Good morning!  Finally, the heat and humidity are out of here . . . a little cloudy and a very comfortable 67 degrees here!!!  I plan on spending a good part of the day cutting newspaper into strips to get started on a piñata for my daughter's party.  Other than that, I've got nothing going on and nothing planned.  I like it that way!!

Yesterday was freezing here for Missouri in July the high was only 70! Today is supposed to be cool too! So unusual for us this time of year! Usually we are dying in the heat at 4th of July BBQ's!
