    I'm going painting/drinking tonight with some girls from work.  I'm just happy to be out of the house for the night.  I will AW my masterpiece tomorrow.
  • I've been invited to a few of those painting things, but haven't been able to make one yet.  I'm such a terrible painter and drinking is not going to help that. 

    Definitely let us see tomorrow.  My coworker's came out really nice!

    I think they are a lot of fun. I've been to 2 of them now and had a great time at each one. It's cool to see how each picture looks different even though it is the same thing. Make sense?

    I've been twice before too, I love it.  You don't even have to be a good painter, because they walk you through the whole thing step by step and everyone's seems to come out nice. 

    @SnShne322 - maybe we should try and do this for our next NE GTG?
  • I've been invited to the painting parties, and it just does not sound fun to me. Even with the wine.

    Ditto.

    I'd prefer to just drink wine without concentrating on being artsy (because I'm not).

    For how long?  Is this for a visit, or a long term thing?
    Sorry if you've posted about it before, I'm only just getting back in the swing of things on this board.
    Sorry you're so stressed.  One day at a time, right?

    This is new.  Long term, probably three years, maybe a little less if she gets her finances in order sooner.  She and her husband are separating, it's a terrible situation.
    There's a lot of stress coming with this.  Ultimately, I know this is right for the kids, I love them like crazy.

    Wow.  Well, it's awesome of you to help out and take them in, even though it sounds like it's going to be sort of rough for you.  Good luck to you and to your friend!

    I was just at the mall at lunch time and I thought something similar about the woman at the MAC counter in Nordstrom.  Like, YIKES, what do you actually look like that you feel the need to wear that much make up?  I can't imagine that anyone could really NEED all that make up, unless, you know, they're performing kabuki.

  • After almost 9 years, my dryer finally died on Sunday. The new one arrived today and I'm excited to get home and see it and test it out. The last few years the cycles didn't work and I've been using timed dry so having a smarter working dryer is exciting.

    Oh snap (yes, I said "oh, snap!"), I just saw some reviews of the trailer. Not good.

    @caseyandlizzie    I thought you meant you were crying from happiness, but I guess that is not the case. You seriously made me go ridiculously happy and excited to sad and fearful at the thought of them butchering one of my childhood favorites.

  • My car is officially paid off. I got the letter yesterday.

    Please don't die, cars. I'm looking forward to not having a car payment at least for a little while. Our really old car is a 98 Corolla and I'm counting on Toyota reliability to make that one go and go and go, esp. since DH drives it.
