Don't get me wrong....I love shopping as much as the next girl, but I think shopping is a difficult group activity.

How do you talk to everyone in the group?  What if you're broke and don't want to jus****ch other people spend money?  What if you hate shopping?  Plus if you have like 20 people, that makes for an awkward walk around a mall.  If we went to an outlet center, it's going to be freezing and it's not enclosed.

Maybe we could find something like Laser Tag or rollerskating, or even a museum, and then lunch after or before.

Just a thought.  Now, I do think we should organize just a shopping trip for those of us that really want to go.....Tina?  Kristy?  Edie?  Anyone?

PS-we also need a 'get your freak on' night out for those of us that still partake in potent potables.  Boogie Fever was fun and I want to do it again!!

Well, we could meet somewhere, say for lunch or something as a group and then those that want can go on to shopping?  I don't know!  WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS?!?!?! 

A Boogie Fever night (or the like) would be fun. It could be planned far enough out in advance so people could make overnight arrangements if they choose.  I'm always up for that, excpet I think I would have to drag my inlaws to the hotel, too, for babysitting.  LOL!

You pick a potent potables place and I'm there!!!! 

As far as the shopping idea, I know what you mean Brenda, don't get me wrong I love shopping and lunch with friends, but we could potentially have 15 or more people, that doesn't equate to a mall, unless we all wear name tags and look like they just let us out of the retirement home for the afternoon LOL!!!! sorry B hahahaha!

Do I have a better answer, ummmmmm no, sorry.  I like the laser tag and rollerskating idea, but neither of them have "talking" time.  But I'm up for them or a museum too, although if we talk to much, they might not like us :). 

Who thought this would be so hard!  Let's all  think about it today and we'll discuss it tomm.

Good Morning Michiganders!

Since Baby Girl drove herself to the new job, I got to sleep in til 7ish. WOW. She called me at 545 and said she arrived. I am so glad.
I am reading myself to make some kind of sustenance.
Then it's banking day for me. DH is on his way home from AL. with a load of Meow Mix.
And maybe if he is up to it he will join us at the cider mill tomorrow too. If not my DD and her GF are coming with me.  Just so excited to meet everyone!

QOTD: I am the mother of all mothers. My Kids are 21 and 22.9 yrs old and when they leave the house to drive some where. I make them have check in calls. Even on the week ends when they go out with there friends. They have to call in at midnight, just to let me know they are alright.
And sometimes just as soon as they leave the house I will hear sirens in the distance and have to call them to see if they are OK.

1.  If you came with instructions, what would they say? CAUTION: proceed with caution. This person has been prescribed a mean pill!

2.  If I held out my hand, what would you put in it?  keep it clean ppl.... Fairy Dust... that would help you solve one problem in your life. And a hug for you to keep for when you need one.

3.  if there is no solution, what do you do? Create one

4.  what are you 'known' for by the people who know you? Thinking things through and then taking action.

5.  who's the weirdest person you know, dead or alive? That depends on what you mean by weird. You did read my post yesterday about the international Space Station. Right? I think I qualify!


BTW; Thank you all for your encouraging post to my WOW moment, yesterday!

Hello all!

SOOooo glad it's Friday.  I can't decide if I want to just go home after work and veg - or if I want to hit the coffeehouse for a free concert tonight.  Either way - I'm relaxing tonight for sure.  :-)

QOTD - I have a train phobia - kinda.  It's not the train so much but when I'm at a crossing and the train is going super fast - it freaks me out.  I know it started back about 15 years ago when we had a special presentation during a work meeting - it was about train safety and they showed a video that had cars being hit by trains.  Slow moving trains are no big deal, but the fast ones cause some anxiety.  I know, I'm weird.

1.  If you came with instructions, what would they say?
Insert chocolate for best results.

2.  If I held out my hand, what would you put in it?  keep it clean ppl....
a business card.  LOL!  I got tired of writing down my blog address for everyone at the support meetings, so I had business cards printed up with it on them.  I'm on my 2nd box of 500.

3.  if there is no solution, what do you do?
there's always a solution - but sometimes you have to be creative to figure out what it is.

4.  what are you 'known' for by the people who know you?
nowadays, it's my blog.  But I'm also know for my creativity in crafting, scrapbooking and now a bit of photography. 

5.  who's the weirdest person you know, dead or alive?
there was this guy I dated a while ago.  Normally he wouldn't have gotten more than one date - but it was during the time when my best friend was telling me I was too picky and didn't give guys a fair chance - so I went out with him 6 or 7 times.  He wore tennis shoes with velcro (and they were pretty beat up and falling apart) - he work a cowboy hat that was almost a joke because the brim was so big - he work brand new wrangler jeans so stiff I don't know how he walked in them.  And when he laughed it was a whole body convulsion type of thing - like literally... first time he laughed during a move I thought he was having a seizure or something.  And he had a bad habit of text messaging his friends all during our dates.  He's now known as "The Velcro Shoe Guy" -- and when I mention I'm going on a date to my mom or my BFF, they ask: "does he wear velcro?"    Needless to say, I'm back to being picky.

My Dear Aunt "Rest her Sole" once told me If you want to know if a date has financial issues, check his feet.

If the Shoes are worn and tattered then he is broke.
If the shoes are New and well kept then he has money.

Her theory was that When you have money the first thing you do is take care of your feet. And when your broke that is the last thing you can afford.

LOL.

My mom's 75 year old husband wears those velcro closing tennis shoes.  LOL!  We call them Leon shoes.  I would stay away from men in velcro closing shoes.
