WELCOME TO BLOGABELLA

I am moving tomorrow and haven’t packed a thing.

hmph.

but still MWAH.

Em

“slack”.. or is it “FLACK”.. UCHHH let’s just call it SLACK/FLACK, for not being ‘around’ and writing to you… I have heard that people enjoy reading my blog on their coffee breaks.. so here goes.. a synopsis of my life at this particluar point in time

Work.

 There…LOL

No just kiddinK.. much more has been happening .. like ……work!  DId I mention I have been wooorrrkkiinnggg?  hmph.

It’s been a CAR-AZZY week.. THe Creativ (not spelled wrong) Festival is on in Toronto this weekend.. I will never forget when I was at Cherished Scrapbook’s booth doing demos a year and a half ago and they launched my stamps to the public.. well I sat there and demo’d prismacolor and odorless mineral spirits and lots and lots of GLITTAH.. I had GLITTAH fights going on at my table.. I used to come home and I would tell Ryan about my exciting day and I would SPIT glittah as I spoke excitedly.. am I not SOOOO lady like?  uh-huh.. I am.  I also mentioned in my SCS forum about how even if I SAT on the cupcake that cuppacakeabella is sitting on, I would STILL eat it.. now how is DAT for being a lady… (NICKY would just shake her head reading this… telling me to just TRY to filter my thoughts.)  I can’t Nick, cuz I AM ON A ROLL.  I am overtired, and just feel like blabbling and venting.. S’aright with you?

So in terms of the free shipping HUMP.. I believe that is over and am now tackling the 10th of October .. I figured out that no matter how long I work, my pile doesn’t seem to be slimming down (hmmm sounds familiar in another topic.. but don’t even get me started on SLIMMING DOWN.. hmph).  A cute little story happened this morning (yet another tangent I know)….  I went to my gas station at the corner where I buy my extra jumbo hazelnut coffee every morning.. the owner knows me and actually would pour my cream in my coffee (I know I Should have non fat but…)  ANYWAY… so he says to me .. “what do you eat everyday”?  and of course any “juicy” bella would be mortified and think right away “OMG HE THINKSSSS I AM FATTTT”.. so I pretended not to hear him.. (LOL) and he says to me  again ” what do you eat everyday”.. so of course I LIE and say ” a salad”.. (lol again..I am so glad I can make myself LAFF.. otherwise I swear I would cry)… so I say “WHY do you ask?”-petrified of the answer- and he says “because I want to know what makes you so beautiful every day”.. OMG I quickly almost leaped over the counter to give him the BIGGEST hug but controlled myself and simply asked him if I could fold him up very nicely and SHOVE him in my pocket so that every time I needed a boost, I could take him out and press a button (LOL)… HOW NICE WAS THAT?  I tell ya, he totally made my morning.

Then, reality set in.

I got to my office and looked around me and almost threw up.  The sick thing is that I am moving on SATURDAY.  YES SATURDAY as in 2 days from now???? and it looks as if I am moving in my office cuz it is a DISASTER but I haven’t packed a thing!! I am trying to fill orders to the last second before pulling the plug on Friday night… after friday it may not be until Tuesday til I can ship again.. OMG.. I am FREAKING OUT.  I Don’t want anyone to be unhappy 🙁 but this is for the best to run a more efficient place where I can have people actually take classes, buy, shmooze, hang out.. so I gotta close my eyes, grin, and bear it.  I promise to those who I haven’t shipped to, I will try my best to compensate any which way I can.. I promise.  Bella’s honor. 

So the floors are going in tomorrow.. it is almost completely painted, I need some furniture but I am telling ya sistahs, this is going to be worth a trip to T.O.  I bought a coffeemaker and a kettle.. have some ink pads, blocks,stamps,baubles and paypah and we are READY TO BOOOOOOOGIE.  SO that is my light at the end of the tunnel.  Please bear with me.. I beg you.!  I have had my 3 elves with me all the time working.. I have become somewhat of a slavedriver 🙁 sorry Dena, Hannah and NIcky…

That’s my update right now.

I hear a little snoring boy in the room next to me.. I swear that TOO keeps me going.

Mwah to da patient sistahs who DON”T/DO have to listen to little snoring boys

MWAHHHH!

Oh and please visit NIcky and Cherished Scrapbooks booth at the Creativ Festival.. code word to identify yourselves should be “sistah?”.. she’ll know EGGGsactly who you are 🙂  I will try to be there at some point on Sunday if I don’t die in the moving process 🙂

Happy birthday Shmiz.  I love you.  And of course feeling SOOO guilty that I didn’t send you a card so here it is.

[photopress image=”bffcard.jpg”]

Let me tell you a little bit about my high-school-always-was-a-bad-influence-on-her-and-she-made-me-graduate-university-BFF-named-LIZ.

This will bore you but I am gonna talk about her anyway.  Liz is the most wonderful, warm, amazing, SKINNY, BEAUTIFUL Bella. Not only is she BRILLIANT and GORGEOUS but a phenomenal wife and friend and mom.  We have been BFFS since we were 12 and blabbed to each other in high school when the teacher would always get US into trouble when it was really ME who was the blabbermouth (shocking I know).  Liz was the one who pulled all nighters with me and forced me to FOCUS and concentrate on my studies..  Liz was the one who Wrote, ahem, edited, my papers that I handed in to my professors in university.  Liz and I got engaged within a week of eachother.. liz is DA BOMB but she lives too far away *sniff*.

Liz, you are the blond eating ice cream and I am the brunette (except you really look  like bella and I, well, I have curly hair 🙂 ) ..

Happy birthday my friend

I love you and miss you

mwah! (she actually coined the term)

your sistah in every sense of the word
