Thursday Day 1 - Not sure when you left Amy but I will start this week off by saying how we all agree at the Stamp Shack that M-E-N are just plain lazy. We all agree they cannot do the following chores: they cannot load the dishwasher, they cannot throw their trash into the trash can, they leave their dirty clothes on the floor when the hamper is inches away, they can’t add a new toilet paper roll to the empty toilet paper roll, they can turn a light on in the house but cannot turn the light off, they can play with empty water bottles with the dog but then they leave the water bottles there on the floor for the next morning for Teresa to fall over, some kids hide their trash under the couch instead of throwing it away .... I am sure the list can go on and on ...you get the picture. Shuggy hits 5,000 posts. By the sounds of things, Chris is going to check on prices to rent a BUS to go stamp shopping at Shackapaloosa on the day on Saturday. She is thinking of making it an all day thing on that Saturday and going to Archivers, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joannes, Stamping Day & Night. Some of us has said we would just prefer maybe just to go to Stamping Day & Night and Traci offered to just drive her car there and I said I would ride with Traci come back and stamp and the next thing you know, 50 of us are riding with Traci so no one knows if Traci is bringing a limo or what to Indiana to fit all these gals in her car or what. LOL Just waiting to see what price Chris gets on the price of the charter bus. My bet is it will be pricey but who knows if enough of us split the cost maybe it won’t be so bad. Stamping Day & Night is excited that 30 of us will be at her store all at one time and is working on giving us a discount for that day of shopping (I think that’s what Chris said but now I am not sure of that either. Maybe wishful thinking on my part?! Ha ha) Jan describes Jacob’s first week of Boot Camp here http://stamp-shack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26611 and its pretty intense if you ask me ...I would never make it through the first day I can tell you that but I bet he is doing super and it sounds like Jan is doing great too. Michelle (Emmcee) went to her job interview today at the hospital and she thinks she did pretty good. It would be for an Admin Specialist and would be just perfect for her. Now she waits to hear back from it. Wow and this is just day 1?

Friday Day 2 Awna shared with us that she got really sick back in 2001 after a dental procedure and got septic and got liver and kidney damage. She had been a LPN before kids but decided to become a SAHM once they had kids. Her husband works in a factory and she wanted to help out more being that the economy is the way it is but did not want to go back to nursing so she decided to go back to school to get her BA in Pyschology. She has a 97.8% and she got a letter from her professor saying it was the best submittal he had seen in long time. She was right on point!! WOO HOO for Awna!! Jan’s huband’s aunt Laura had a stroke and is in the hospital. Nancy Anthony is finally back home after 5 long months of being in Ohio. Trish signed up to go to Shackapaloosa. I got the results from my CT Scan of my head and all is clear (WOO HOO) but the pelvic ultrasound came back not so great. On my left ovary it shows a large mass of what appears to be a complex cyst so he wants me to see my gyn and get that looked at so now I have to call on Tues when they open (they closed at noon today for the long weekend). I hate the wait!!. Hopefully all be ok with that!! Thanh celebrated her 25th birthday today!! Man, do I feel old now!! (Thanks a lot Thanh! HA HA) Joanne was surprised to hear that Corey was coming home for Labor Day weekend.

Saturday Day 3 - 1 of 2 Shoes posted that Purple Onion Designs is looking for new Design Team Members. You can find info here all about it here: http://purpleoniondesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/08/creative-team.html ...
Pascale posted recent photos of her 27 weeks pregnant belly and she can be seen here http://stamp-shack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26657 . Doesn’t she look FANTASTIC?!?!?
Some of us were in the chat room Saturday night and all of us sudden we were all booted off. Found out the Stamp Shack went down and was still down when I was up early Sunday am. No Stamp Shack so we were all emailing each other and having withdrawals. Stamp Shack was down most of the day Sunday and we all had to resort to cleaning, doing laundry, you get the idea!! Sunday night - Stamp Shack was back up thanks to our wonderful leader Sherry. THANK YOU SHERRY WHAT WOULD WE DO WITHOUT YOU!?

Sunday - Day 4 - There’s some silly chatty Sherri contest - guess when Sherri (meaning me of course) will make her 15,000 post. HA So you can get on that if you want to. Shuggy is even giving away a prize. Imagine that!!

Monday - Day 5 - Bingo starts today!!

It’s the last day to order the Shack holiday snowman stamp.

Thanks for sharing. I'm back now and getting ready for the first day of school tomorrow! I didn't realize the Shack was down either, until I had 54 messages in my email inbox.

Thanks Sherri! We are back home from our camping trip and I took a 3 hour nap today! Camping is hard work...lol

Oh...we got our first letter from Jacob and guess what? It was a standard print off letter from Sergent somebody where Jacob just filled in the blanks with his new address. And the address looks NOTHING like the one his recruiter gave me. I had already sent one letter to Jacob and used that address so I don't know if the letter got to him or not. Oh well...at least I have heard from him. I will be writing him a lot now.
