MS Cabrera tagged me as well as the entire SBA DT....gotta love ya gal!

1. First time you got kissed: ROFLOL....it was the summer of 6th grade. My first kiss was with Scott Ball. OMG he was sooooo dreamy! LOL! We were boyfriend and girlfriend you know the silly age! It was not a kiss that was slightly gross and little bit of...."OMG is this really what a french kiss is?" and I thought EWWWWWWW!!!!! LOL. To say the least he needed to REALLY practice,ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! Although I was so infatuated with him I thought maybe if we kiss more it would help him,hehehheeh! Uh, no go! Didn't get all that better! Oh well....he has had many years to practice now...hmmm wonder, nah just kidding,hehe!

2. First time you drove a car: Another funny one! Chad Norenburg was teaching me how to drive a stick shift. I was 15. I was driving down a straight stretch and knew that there was a SHARP corner coming up. I asked him how slow should I slow down? He said nahhh you don't have to slow down! I said yes I need to! But I didn't know how to slow down with a stick shift!!! Needless to say that when I rounded the corner...I skid into a snow pile that was about 10ft high....and up the pile,LOL!! We spent the next hour or more trying to get it unstuck! We went to a nearby house that had a light on. No one was home so we "borrowed" their shovel..yes we took it back when we got out!! LOL but that was my first time driving...and how great to get stuck with a little hottie like Chad was!

3. First time you scrapbooked: Hmmm was about 6 years ago or so. My sister was invited to a Creative Memories party. She was told to bring a friend and get a free gift. So she brought me. We scrapped at the party I think like 2 pages. BUT I knew immediately that the CM style was SOOOO not me! I also knew that I would be scrapping more...just alot more creative! And that day was the beginning of my addiction! LOL!

4. First time you went on a date: OMG I don't even know! How sad! LOL. My older sister and I were not really allowed to go out per say! We could go out 1x a month and most of the time that 1x was cancelled and we would have to stay home and watch the younger sisters and brother. So I guess I would prolly have to say maybe 10th grade?

5. First time you fell in love: Well I was prolly in the 9th grade. I dated Bruce Weaver. We dated for like hmmm 4 almost 5 years. He was my love! He had proposed a few times. But for HUGE reasons I ended the relationship...and haven't looked back since! Although we did introduce his brother to my sister and well lets just say that they are still together and have 3 kids! At least someone lived happily ever after!

6. First time you cooked for someone: Wow that is a tough one! I grew up in the restraunt business so I have cooked for as long as I can remember! So I don't have an exact date?

7. First time you got on a plane: You will laugh at this! Umm like 2 years ago! LOL! Yes you read that right 2 yrs ago! Vegas bound I was!

8. First time you shaved your legs: OMG Hmmm prolly in the 7th grade? Good question!

9. First time you put on make up: I think I was in the 5th or 6th grade when I started to wear make up. Back in the day when we were to stupid to know that if we shared make up...such as eyeliner ummmm well we would spread pink eye like wild fire,LOL!!!

10. First time you moved out of your home: I was 18...the day of actually! I moved in with my sister and her husband. I basically slept there and nothing else...well except to house my personal belongings,LOL! I was running my parents ice cream parlor and a restraunt in another town about 20 min away from their main restraunt. I did that for the summer and then moved down to New Hope, MN.

Morning Monday Bloggers!

Its work day AGAIN! I wish I could quit and scrap for my job...and at least make the same amount or more!! Anyone have any ideas,LOL!
Well I had 2 crops this weekend. One Friday eve till midnight. All day one for Saturday. I love cropping with my friends!!! They always laugh at me because I don't get very much done. But bring a crap load of stuff,LOL!
I always have intentions of getting tons of pages done...but I always hear "Rori, can you help with..." " Rori how do you do...." you know all that stuff. And of course I love to talk to everyone! Honestly it is the only time I can really TALK with some of my friends. We all have busy careers, family, housework...etc..you get the idea! So when I only get a page or two done I do not worry about it!!
My one friend why don't you worry about getting nothing done..thats why we crop isn't it to get some pages done?! I said thats how it started for me. But I scrap EVERYDAY! She was shocked. I said so if I miss one day a month that I don't get a page done...NO biggy.
BUT I got 5 pages done on Saturday and had LOTS of chatting,LOL!! And even came home 3 times because I wasn't feeling well at all! OMG pukeys and scrappin don't mix well!!!! I would read some journaling and feel sick again,lol.
Yesterday I did alot of doodling. I read up on the net on how to make your own fonts...well unless you pay gringo you can't do it...so if you all have a free upload link to a program please LMK!!! I made several new "possible" fonts and some webdings/dingbats what ever they are called?! LOL!! No idea really!
OK well gotta get my butt working!

And my BONUS tagger is........
Traci Trent my "twin",lol! here you go... http://tracitrent.blogspot.com/

I am off to go

So my Son had a band concert last night. It was nice, enjoyable and yet funny. The concert was performed by the 6,7 & 8th grades. They all took turns. Then the end performance was the 7th & 8th graders. Of which did very well. Just a few tweeks here and there,LOL.
The 6th graders were oh so cute. They all try very hard. I had to giggle every now and then as you would hear a toot or tweek here and there.
And it was nice to see how my Son has progressed from a year ago. It was also interesting to see how the amount of kids fluctuates with age. The 6th graders had about 50 kids. The 7th was about 30. And the 8th prolly 25. About half of the 6th graders. Imagine how many parents out there are upset because their lil susie beesy quit band and they had to pay out $1500.00 for an instrument!
I really had to laugh when I saw 3 young girls standing off to the side seating area. They are whispering and giggling. I look at the band and see a blonde, tall & longer haired drummer boy. LOL! They were chatting about him. One of them or all liked him. They would hoot and hollar at the end of the music as they looked at him. Then turn bright red and run out of the concert area. Meanwhile the drummer sees this and is acting like a hot shot. Grooving to the music. Swaying, head bobbing & such,LOL! It was hillarious to watch. Ahhhh young love,roflmao!

So my Son and I get in the car. And we chatted about the concert. And he asked do you think I broke up with ******* the right way? I said I wondered how you broke up with her? As she seemed really sad tonight?! I said have you talked to her? Yes he says. I said about what. He says Hi, How you doing & bye. I say WHAT?!! Thats it?! Yes he says. OMG I say...how did you break up with her?! He said by a recording. I say WHAT?! OMG you can't break up with someone on a recording!!!!! OMG no wonder why she seems sad!!!! He said I just didn't see her so her brother said I will record you and play it for her.
OMG I said well DO NOT EVER break up with someone that way again! I said you have to be honest with them. Explain why your breaking up. And that you still care for them just not that way. And that you want to be friends still. You have to talk to THEM! Not someone else talk to them for you! I said you wanna break up with someone you step up to the plate yourself MR.!! Also think of your feelings...how would you feel you would want to be broke up with?! You would want to not feel like an unimportant person that they can't even talk to, right..right he said.
Keep in mind he is only in the 7th grade and it isn't any love or anything, BUT being raised by a Mother he should be more sensitive to woman! That is how I raised him. So that when he gets older he treats his girl right! And other woman...you know like you see a woman walking into a building your going into..you hold the door for her. You see a woman struggling to carry all her things into the building...stop and ask if she needs assistance type of stuff. Help around the house & yard work. Help make dinner. Or do the dishes without being told....all kinds of that kind of stuff! Treat woman respectfully and like they are precious you know all that jazz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK now that all that is out,LOL! This week in a nut shell...............I have about 15 reports to court to finish up. Some for my hearings next week. SBR I want to make about 5 more LO's this week and submit them for different calls. And now that Angie Randall (or so I hope it really is her? Here is the link....http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=1550696&pg=1) has made a public announcement about Paperkuts I can submit my LO's to other calls. I had submitted about 7 of them to PK and have waited for the last 2mo for calls to go out,LOL! Well guess what they are NOT coming!!!!!!!! So I will submit them else where :)

Also I have a crop on Saturday! So excited!! There should be alot of gals coming. We scrap from about 8-9 am to midnight or later. Throughout the day we scrap, chat, scrap, eat, scrap, go to LSS, eat, scrap. Then go out to dinner and scrap and chat some more,LOL! It is a blast!! I usually don't get alot done when I have the crops. I am to busy chatting and all. Or teaching tips/tricks. I am going to bring the pattern for the french fry box I think and do a mini class on that? I may also go to the crop at my church on friday night...if I can get all my shtuff together!

I was asked to teach some scrapbooking classes at the local Jr High next month. Super fun! I will have prolly 30-50 students per class. It would be just for one day. The school has an Activity Day. And I would have 2 classes during the day about an hour or so each class. I already have the ideas running through my head for class projects to do! I am so excited. It will be wonderful to have some of my students/clients see me in a differnt light. Not the authoritive person that I am. But a real live person who does other things besides track down truants. Someone who can have fun with them and HOPEFULLY give them something else to be interested in besides all the bad influences out there! I really look forward to it!
Well I shall end my book of the day and hope you all have a great day!!

I have something in the works that is BIG I hope to tell you all about it really soon! If things go well I can tell you all real soon! I am super excited!!!

THE END,LOL!!!
