I just wrote this incredibly witty, smart, beautiful post (if I do say so myself) answering your burning blog questions and then right before my eyes, my computer started shutting down. I pleaded “NOOOO!” But it didn’t answer and not only did I lose my post, but I also lost my design work. And no, I don’t save my design work every night like Brian tells me to do. I’m much to idiotic for such brilliance. Losing all of this is a little bit like planning out your meals for the next two weeks, creating a list for the grocery store, going to the grocery store and fighting the crowd, checking out, spending too much, pushing your cart through the slush in the middle of winter, driving home and having your groceries fall out of the back of your car without you knowing it. It’s that FRUSTRATING.
So, here I am already behind, having to REDO my work and I don’t want to.
so what’s new with you? Any plans this weekend? Any triumphs this week? Have you started shopping for the holidays, yet? What’s your favorite kind of chocolate?
Oh, I am so sorry about losing all that work….totally sucky!
Whats new this weekend? My wonderful husband and I are out of town on a weekend get-a-way for our 10th wedding anniversary. We left the kiddos with my parents and hi-tailed it out of town! We figure after 10 years, we deserve it!
I’m taking a break from too much eating, too much walking, too much drinking and too much sight-seeing to lay on the bed for a while and check blogs. Life is good!

I completely understand your feelings, as I had a similarly frustrating experience happen to me this week. I brooded about it for a good day (okay, maybe two) and then decided the only thing that was preventing me from moving forward was my own bad attitude. Of course, I am in NO way implying you have a bad attitude about what happened to you. I totally “get” computer issues and how a snag can disrupt your life.
I hope you have a nice weeked, though.

Aw, MAN!! That’s awful. Sorry.
This weekend, we’re busy doing exciting things like mowing the yard for the last time, sorting through even more yard-sale stuff, and maybe finally cleaning the house. What can I say? We lead a wild life.

Dude, that sucks. I’m so sorry!
This weekend I will be unpacking. And hopefully I’ll find some stuff. Like trashcans. Trashcans in a house full of trash would be frickin’ awesome.
I haven’t started shopping yet, but I’ve started writing down ideas for the kids and Dave for Christmas. And I just found out which two of my nieces and nephews Jake and Emma have in the gift exchange.
Any chocolate is fine as long as there is peanut butter involved. I don’t like plain chocolate.

I love any chocolate! My daughter just had her tonsils out so we are laying around watching movies and eating ice cream, maybe with chocolate on it!
That sucks about your post!

That sucks. You should just email me and answer my damn questions anyway. ;o)
So this weekend…. my cuz/friend and fam is coming tomorrow and staying the nights, my other cuz/friend and her fam are going to come over, and I invited a few random other people that I haven’t seen in awhile. I am thinking liquor, beer, maybe some poker… What are YOU up to?
I love Michelob Ultra Tuscan Orange Grapefruit beer. I am having one right now. You should try it.
Chocolate… mmm… any is good for me. I love ANY candy though.
AND that’s about my excitement. I really should start cleaning my house since we are having company tomorrow. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

oh-no…I’m so sorry to hear that…
This weekend?…Well, the biggest event of the year is finally here…The 86th annual Maui County Fair! So, it’s going to be a weekend full of cotton candy, little kid rides, approximately $100 worth of little stuffed animals (a.k.a. “game prizes”) AND best of all HAPPY KIDS…that is, until we say “Time to go home.”
Triumphs?…Well, I’m happy to say I’ve got the kids packed up for our trip to VT which is in11 days…I ordered “cold weather” clothing on the internet (we don’t have those things on our island) and I received them all. Being packed up…that’s a pretty BIG thing coming from the woman who is stuffing things in suitcases as her hubby is wheeling them out to the car.
Started shopping?….That’s a big N-O. We’ll probably take a 2-day trip over to O’ahu for that…sometime between Dec. 21 and Dec. 23.
Favorite chocolate?…Hawaiian Host Maui Caramacs. Caramel & Macadamia nuts covered with milk chocolate….so dangerous.

Too bad about your work! I hate when that happens!
I have spent the last three days super-cleaning the house. Major work, because although I tend to keep the house pretty clean, I cannot stand dusting and that is what I have been doing.
I love chocolate chips right out of the freezer. If it cannot be that, I love a Reese’s anything… cups, pieces, bars, you name it.

Talk about FRUSTRATING!!!
This weekend is CIBC Run For The Cure and that will take up most of my Sunday. Other than that I will be enjoying the beautiful weather whilst reading outside with my pug!
Chocolate….is there a kind not to love? Actually, I don’t really like the regular chocolate bars, I’m more of a bitter, dark chocolate in small doses kind of girl.
Have a good weekend

Crap man – that definitely bites the big one. So …. truthfully now, did you let loose a scream of profanity telling the computer where to go? I would have.
This weekend for me? Well trying in earnst to get my first contest up but my daughter has been diagnosed with another kidney infection so I am on temperature watch to control the spiking fevers, plying her full of medicine and attempting to keep her hydrated.
As for Christmas, I haven’t gotten past Halloween yet and just may venture out of the house today with the kids (if Masyn is okay) to purchase costumes and decorations. And with Halloween getting close, that means that it is a must in our house to do quality taste testing on all of the available mini chocolate bars being offered out there. So here goes stuffing my face full of Kit Kats, Smarties, Twix …. oh the list goes on ….

Ugh! I hate losing my work! =\ Dumb computers why can’t they be perfect 24/7?! My plans for the weekend are to stay home and work on my mountain of homework that is waiting for me. Oh and I HAVE to watch college football.
OH and I must eat and be lazy….

That is so frustrating! I’m really bad about saving work, too, and I can’t even recall how many times I lost 10 page papers when I was in college. You’d think the first time it happened, I would’ve learned, but no.
Mmm, chocolate. My absolute favorite is the white chocolate Lindt truffles, the individually wrapped ones. When I go to the outlet mall in Aurora, I have to stop myself from maxing out my credit card at the Lindt outlet. But if I’m to be honest, I’m really not icky when it comes to chocolate!

Bummer…
I’ve thought about Christmas gifts and so in my mind I totally get points for that and I think I might indulge in some Halloween candy laying around. (I’m ready for Halloween, more points for me…)

Not too much new here. Busy weekend planned. Kayla had a volleyball tournament today in LaPorte…they lost but they had a blast so that is all that counts. I took the two younger ones to the Pumpkin Parade that runs right in front of my work. Tomorrow Zack has a football game in Portage and then we are off to the Pumpkin Festival for some GOOD FOOD!!!
And as I’m typing this, I almost lost this post; how ironic.
I WISH I could start shopping early. My husband and I are very good at saving for the holidays beause we have a Christmas Club Account that a certain amount goes into from our checks each week. The only downfall is that we can’t withdraw it before November 1st. I’d love to start WAY SOONER than that, but it’ll do. It has to.
And finally, just wondering if everyone could say a little prayer. We got some news a couple of weeks ago and just as we thought everything was okay, it turns out it might not be.
Thanks everyone!

Three words: SAVE YOUR WORK.
Brian’s not the only one who nags you about that, hooker!
I’m in Austin this weekend hanging out with the hubby and visiting with Lisa and Baby Mo’. He’s so cute and cuddly!
I’m also working (and saving as I go along!) on a few clients’ designs.
I love chocolate. Snickers bars are my favorite and if I can get a Dark Snickers that’d be even better. I LOVE dark chocolate most of all.
I’m also eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new coffee maker (THANK YOU!) and my new camera. Halelujah. I cannot wait to get home on Monday night and sit by the door waiting for the UPS guy.
One more thing, SAVE YOUR WORK. Like now. SMFD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and kisses!

My favorite chocolate is Rasberry Chocolove. My second favorite is Toblerone Dark. And yes, you can find it at your favorite Target store!
