Who's around?

Steph0871

I'm pathetic, and I want to earn Gold this weekend... think I can post another 84 times today?  So let's talk about nothing. I feel like I know a lot about your weddings, but not much about any of you.

Let's play a game... tell me 3 random facts about you. Or ask me a question, or ask anyone a question. Let's just get some post counts up, k?

Bimbi284

1.) Our heat doesn't work
2.) We just spent way too much money at costco
3.) I'm eating cherry yogurt at the moment

Steph0871

Bimbi! I've missed you. Nice to see you 'round these parts again.

How cold is it there??  I'd be frozen solid without heat right now, but my dog would love it.

Bimbi284

Hahaha Hi! I lurk around, but have been super busy, so its hard to keep up. Its about 43 degrees right now, so not too bad. Its about 55 in pour apt haha...lots of layers, blankets and tea has helped! We also always put plastic on our windows, so I'm sure that has kept it warmer in here haha.

<div>Whyyyy hasn't your landlord fixed it??</div><div>
</div><div>In MN there's a law that your apartment has to be capable of reaching at least 68 degrees. (If you choose the turn off the heat, that's different.) I know this, because I called the city 3 times on my old landlord. My room was 48 degrees one morning when I woke up.</div><div>
</div><div>How's school going?</div>

I miss Bimbi, too!  Sorry to hear about your heat.  That's majorly sucky.

Random facts:
1. I was once on a cruise ship that caught on fire and we were stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for seven days.
2. I have a slight obsession with blankets.  The fuzzier the better.
3. I collect Christmas ornaments.  My godmother started giving me one a year from birth to about age 20, and every year I try to find a interesting, unique one to add to my collection.

riverethan

1) I picked out the rest of my wedding ring today!!
2) found out I had a loose diamond in my engagement ring today!
3) I also spent way to much money at costco today!!

Steph0871

HK- did you have to survive on SPAM and Pop-Tarts too?   Also, how come your'e not around as much either? Where is everyone? I can't wait for the influx of holiday engagements to pick up the pace around here again.

River- will they fix the loose stone under warranty/ insurance for you?  What's your favorite stuff to stock up on at Cosco?

Kayla514

1. I was bored to death at the U of M Football Banquet today for FI's work.
2. I am eating some Christmas cookies that my mom sent home with me this weekend. So much for that diet...
3. I have an adorable cat who just took an hour long nap with me.

Steph0871

Kayla- does your FI work for the U?

Kayla514

Yes. He works for the football team. But the seasons over so I get to see him now!!

<div>That's kind of cool. I didn't realize yesterday was the last game. At least they got to go out on a high note! I'm happy for the players, and just glad I can say "told you so" about the crappy coaching ;)</div><div>
</div><div>I work for the U too, fyi, which is why I asked if he did.  I work with Housing, though, so not really involved with athletics.... unless, of course, the players do something stupid in the dorms )</div>

k8ly

hmmmmmm....3 random facts...::think, think, think:: (tapping head like Winnie the Pooh)

1)  I liked vampires before vampires were cool...Twilight's got nothin' on Buffy and Angel!
2)  I love all things purple....not lavender, not lilac, purple.  (Have nothing against the other...I just like royal purple.)
3)  Our puppies are Bella, Boo, and Abbey.

MaggieandJake

3 random facts....

1)I just figured out and did a trial of my pew decorations and I'm pretty pleased with the turn out...

2)I spent way too much money today as well on wedding stuff and x-mas gift. (but not at Costco)

3)I'm so glad we haven't gotten any snow in Iowa yet  (knock on wood)

Steph0871

Maggie- love those!

k8ly- Winnie the Pooh!

SuperRNluvsChef

Hi Steph!

3 Facts....
1-I'm now the proud owner of Debbieupper's photo frame wall!  Just picked it up today
2-My birthday was on Thanksgiving (I turned 24) and for kicks I looked in my phone calender for the next time it falls on Thanksgiving, and it's not until I turn 35!
3-I have a lot of siblings...2 stepbrothers, 1 stepsister, 1 brother, 1 half brother, 1 brother in law and 1 nephew

MaggieandJake

Thanks Steph!!  I was a little worried they'd look too "cheap".  While they definitely don't look real, I don't think they look bad.  I'm done thinking about it, so I'm gonna go with it.

MaggieandJake

ok, adding on to the question game...

what are you favorite things about the holidays?  Least favorite things?

k8ly

FI is also a Winnie the Pooh fan - when we were in WDW we rode the ride three times!  We're Disney fans in general, with Mickey and Minnie for our cake topper....it's uber cute.

Your wedding was b-e-a utiful, btw! 

SuperRNluvsChef

My favorite things about the holidays are buying gifts, I love getting gifts that I know people will love.

Least fav--shopping for said gifts...I hate crowds/large groups of people.  I avoid black Friday like the plague.

SuperRNluvsChef

Who's coming the to the GTG....I'm super pumped for it!

WHERE ARE YOU PUTTING IT AT THE PEC?! I wanted it so bad but didn't think there would be anywhere at the PEC to put it!!!!

SSaltzman87

I'll be at the GTG, and FI might come too :-)

leggwilliams

As for 3 random facts....

1) One of my biggest fears is losing a finger or toenail
2) I am super not atheltic and have never run a day in my life, but a few weeks ago I randomly started training to run the 1/2 marathon here in St. Cloud in April
3) I hate black Friday weekend and if you worked at Best Buy you would too

k8ly

Favorite thing about Holidays also giving gifts.

Least favorite thing - keeping gifts a secret - I'm HORRIBLE at keeping gift secrets.  I want to give it as soon as I buy it.  I've totaly spilled the beans on ALL my bridesmaid gifts already.

Steph0871

Thanks k8! I loved every minute of the entire day, and I'm so glad the pictures can accurately reflect that.

Super- I think I"m going to post a reminder about the GTG tommorow.

Legg- I worked at Target for 4 Black Fridays.... and I loved it. Absolutely loved it.

Steph0871

oops 

Favorite- baking and seeing family/friends and just the general mood/generosity the whole season.

Least- greediness and spending so much money 

Steph0871

P.P.S. only 59 (58) more posts to go. You girls better start talking to me, or I'm going to break TK rules and start posting randomness.

What area did you work in? I work up at service so I had all the people that were crabby from waiting out in the cold or that we were out of a certain deal or mad we wouldn't price match black friday deals coming and yelling and swearing at me all weekend.

SuperRNluvsChef

Legg--I looked at the "basic renderings" of the room and one sketch has 19 round tables.  We're probably only going to need about 16-17 of thos tables so I'm hoping to set it up near the entrance (the one where the BP usually enters through).

<div>Guest Services (returns, etc.)  It probably helped that 3 of those years were in my hometown, and I had no problem getting yelled at all day.  Two years ago I worked at the downtown MPLS Target as a part-time job (ok, really I just wanted the discount again.)  I did photo and Guest Services; photo was hilarious to watch all of the Christmas Cards come through</div><div>
</div><div>BTW... what room are you using at PEC? Same question to you, Lisette!</div>
