a little this and that

ok... are you an American Idol fan like me???? I am really loving this season so far, but I would be even more giddy if Norman Gentle (Nick Gentle) would have made the cut tonight. I just don't get the people that compare him to William Hung or Sanjaya. He is sooooooo much better than them. I can definitely see him in some fun sitcom or on Broadway. He definitely will be seen again.

************

ok... I have to begin my new March Blender Challenge at Gotta Pixel on Sunday, the 1st... but I will be out of town throughout the weekend, so I wanted to jump right in and start it out a bit early...I think it's a pretty fun one and I hope you do too...

The Blender Challenge is one that will be different each month. It will be a mixture of things, hence the name "Blender". You never know how it will get mixed up each month. You might really have to be incredibly creative by scrapping outside your normal box.

I will be attending my Alpha Phi SW Regional Conference since I serve as our regional Alumnae Membership Coordinator. Soooooo, my March challenge is going to be kind of related to this.

For March:
*The overall theme is sisterhood. Your sisterhood can be your biological sisters, sorority sisters, close-knit childhood friends who are like sisters to you....any sisterly bond you have now or even a sisterhood from years ago.
*You must have at least three different sisterly pictures.
*Journal! Here are some ideas: Do you miss your sisterhood? Were you all roommates and share everything under the sun? Describe your ultimate reunion. What makes these girls sooooo very special to you?
*ok... last, but not least....this is about sisterhood... so you have to have lots and lots of flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!

and........... remember that all regular monthly Gotta Pixel challenges can earn you points towards store gift certificates

fun bargain time

ok.... so I don't go through the Sunday coupons in the paper very often... I really should since it allows me to save a bit of money and who doesn't want to save money, right? well, at least I have my www.coupons.com. Have you been there? It's great. They add new coupons all the time and you can print the same coupon 2-3 times before they say you've reached your max. I just printed up a few more for me to take to the store today. I'll use them if they are on sale at the store too so I can get those goodies for almost free. I so love a good bargain!

and... speaking of bargains....
I have a little nifty one for you... isn't that so swell of me? :) oh yea.. put that big smile on your face.

women ... and BARGAIN city

Nine Words Women Use



(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.


(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . That will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Sherbert Sunshine - debuting at Gotta Pixel for only $1 ... Wednesday it will be at it's regular price
