Presale Coupons & Dates and the Soccer Signup Peter Piper Story

Well lots and lots of things. I should definitely make up for the post yesterday.

I am sending the coupon out to the yahoo group. There are a limited number of these coupons available, but I think I should have enough for everyone who wants one. So if you want it get it. And you will have it right in your email box for plenty of shopping.

On to life...
So my little boy seems to be on the road to recovery. So that is good. Not coughing nearly as much and his motivated moving self is back in full form. We signed him up for soccer for the Jan-March season. He is very excited about this. He loves to play soccer and kick the ball. He has a net and two soccer balls. Well make that one... My hubby drove over one when he was leaving for work one day. Woops. We both jumped out of our skin when it popped. But luckily there was a backup.
We had signups at the local Peter Piper Pizza. So my hubby takes our son off to play some video games while I waited in line. When I was done I went over to the games and watched for a few and then said well we better get a few tickets so he can pick out a small prize. So we are playing all the different games and end up at this game where you put in your token and it goes down the shoot into the back of some dump trucks and you get tickets. My punkin is lovin the ticket thing. They spit them out. He grabs them and gives them to me in pure delight and smiles. So we have played this a bit and our son gets a token from his Dad and puts one in, well he hits the 600. all of a sudden the machine is going tink tink tink tink. Okay so we grab the tickets that are coming out. but wait there is more.. wait more... wait more... (I say to my hubby.. go get the lady.. I think it's broken. She comes over and says. You hit 600 you'll get 600 tickets and walks away.)... wait more.. My son looks at me and says "to much, there is to much" .. wait more... My son leaves for more things to do then watch this machine spit tickets.. wait more tickets are spitting.. more .. more.. now I have lost my husband his parting words were I'll watch him, your going to stand here right?
As I stand there I have given up holding these things and have let them just spit on the floor in one continuous ticket snake. I have gotten look after look. Some from kids with their mouths dropped.. are those yours? My sons I politely respond. Some looks from adults ... HELLO AREN'T YOU TO OLD TO NEED TICKETS.. and one Dad actually came up and said Wow. How did you hit the big one.. By now I am wishing this thing would either spit them out quicker or will the motor burn out so it won't work anymore... Wew they are all out. It has quit. so I ravel them up in some fashion and my hubby looks at me. I say you get to count them.. He starts analzying them and counting. He looks up and there is a Ticket Taker. He asks this pint size little girl how it works. She explains (of course looking at us like we are older then the hills) and sooo I stuff the tickets at him. He gets to stand there and wait for them to zoom into this machine so we can get our paper ticket counter receipt. So now we have the receipt. 683 total tickets. My son is playing on some riding game and just loving it and giggling and laughing. I start eyeing the prize counter. Couldn't there just be 600 tickets for one item. Nope they are all varying counts. This explains the Game Girl's calculator. So we round up my son and say now you get to pick a prize. so we start out with a few big items. then break it down for bunch of little trinkets. So we leave with trinketty junk and my son is beaming. It was fun. A little silly and always adventurous. The moral of the story.. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR. "just a few tickets so he can get a prize" BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR. It will come back to you. So if your going to ask for something make sure it's what you want and I did. A smiling little boy and a proud hubby. His kid hit the "big one".

Love my life.

Enjoy!

Chris

An Interesting day..

Today should prove to be interesting.. Off to get the cookie dough from the Pre-School fundraiser and get some of it delivered, working on a few special projects, and trying to get the pre-sale codes together. So this note is short unless I can get back to it this afternoon and add another one. It is a windy crazy day out here! Enjoy!

Good Morning to everyone! I am trying to fit a post in right now early this morning in case today ends up like yesterday. My bambino has an ear infection in his other ear now. So my hubby mentioned tubes because there was a lot of that in his youth. It is probably jumping the gun since he has only ever had two ear infections and only one in each year. The doc I am sure was oh so thrilled to see us and my little boy loves to tell the doc what ails him. I think he had to look at every possible scrape or boo boo my little one put a bandaid on this week. But when asked what was wrong he said... My ear it hurts and it goes POP POP POP.. like rice krispies. He had this rendition down because he told the nurse it earlier and she asked him to tell two other nurses cause he thought he was cute. I noticed on the corner of the page of my sons chart it says... "animated child" hahaha. I am not sure if this is good or bad, but ya know we will go with it. So today he hangs out with me because of the medicine he has to have. Want to make sure he doesnt come down with hives or a reaction because it isn't penicillin but similar to I have been told. So today will be a trip to the office and my son taking over office computer while I chat with the accountant. woohooo... I would rather play on the pc. :) Our accountant is awesome, but ugh. I am not the numbers type person....




Speaking of numbers... So they are coming... The dirt cheap presale codes... I got the Fall Huge Bundle into the uploads for the store and it will be one of the presales for next week.






Also, if you got the newsletter you know that ALLLL my files will be on sale over Thanksgiving Weekend. And for those who got the Paperthreads newsletter.. What did you think about my article on metal and the KNK? I will repost it here in a few days for those who haven't read it, but if you missed it make sure to sign up for that newsletter. I am head of organization for it. So you may hear me mention it here and there.




And for the question... are your files only in the QMC now?? Nope. They are also at the store. So you can buy them indivdually as well. For those in QMC all the versions to silent night and downhill sledding were uploaded last night.


This was sent to me by Karen using a piece from the Thanksgiving Traditions. Beautiful layout. I love the Gold Paper. Thank you Karen for Sharing It. I so wish my hair was that long.
My hair adventure started Saturday a.m. I just don't think I explain things to hair stylists right. I just wanted some curl along the back. loose even some might call it a body wave. Well I have curl. I have curl all over in a lions mane of twist and tumbles. But hey it's hair it will grow out and when I see family they will either smile, cringe or go what's different about you in clear observation, but trying to ignore. My hubby thinks it is cute and is glad I didn't cut any off. So I am going with it. I almost feel like I could party with this hair it is kinda fun and not so serious and boring as my very straight here of 13 years. (since my last perm) So I was ready for a change and to try it.
Well I gotta run and feed the horses and get moving! Have a wonderful wonderful day!!
Thanks for stopping by and of course...
Enjoy!
Chris
PS Congrats to Margaret for winning Shirley's blog contest over what is Chris's quote... One word... and I post it all the time.... "Enjoy!" This made me giggle! Thank you Shirley for the nod!
