Carol has been sad lately....ever since I made her give up porn for Lent. I had been toying with the idea of writing this blog anyway, but what really got me was the last email Carol sent me. In tiny letters at the end she wrote, "I miss porn!" She sounded so sad and forlorn that I wrote back and told her I'd write her a porn blog. You know......anything for a friend!
If you haven't watched the video yet, go ahead and watch it now......I'll wait. No, really...GO!!!!!
Okay.....so it's not really porn in the Carol sense of the word......but it's my little obsession....and isn't porn Carol's? I think both our obsessions have a lot in common. For instance, bigger isn't always better! Both can get a little sticky. And there are quite a few people who agree and are obsessed as well.
I spent this past weekend at the Scrapbook Expo with my cousin, my bff, and a few hundred of our closest friends. It's so much fun. We laugh a lot and get to catch up on each others' lives, all the while creating something fun for family and friends. I even learned something new from a lady sitting at the next table. We go every 6 months and really look forward to it.
Honestly, I'm hoping Carol will turn from her life of porn and join my life of creativity and wholesomeness~ yeah, right! Who am I kidding?~ lol~

Good morning!!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!!
Off I go to read what just has to be an absolutely wonderful blog!! :D
TINA: I loved this blog! I also loved the song playing in the background..did you happen to recognize it? That would be my kind of porn... ;)
I hope you didn't buy too much..remember, you're inheriting all my scrapbooking stuff someday. Oh dear, will that mean I'm leaving you porn? How fun!! :D
Great blog today TINA. I love how creative you are and how your mind works! :)
There I changed my avatar just for today's blog! :D
Good Morning Hooters!
Congrats on 1st Zona!
tina~ you totally crack me up. I am in full support of your mission to save Carol from a life of porn...baahaahaa......
Today is the last day of the kids. Yesterday was lots of swimming and then McDonalds! We had a great time, and they were pooped when we got home. Slept until 8:30 this morning!!!
We are baking cookies today and coloring Easter eggs. Staying home and keeping it low key. Mommy and Daddy should be home from the Hotel around noon.
Tomorrow I plan to get them on the road, go to work, come home and lay down and sleep until thursday! :)
Good Morning GOLDIE! Have fun today with the grandkids! LOL @ sleeping til Thursday!
Morning Glories!
Congrats on first Zona!
Tina ROFLMAO creative yes! Wholesome.....well that is stretching it! (pun intended)
Off to watch the video! LOL
Ok watched the video and have to ask are the empty tables scrap bookers hell? What to you have to do to be sent to those tables? Use staples and coloring books? Ohhhh maybe if you are a glue sniffer! LMAO
It looks like a great time Tina. I love the craft and art expos. I don't scrap but I know I would not leave without buying several somethings. I would be the one at the candle stand!
Morning Zona and Goldie!
Hi LYNND! I would probably stock up on candles too..I'm using a lot of them lately! ;)
I know I would find so many other things to buy too! I don't know what I'd do with them..but I'd have to have them! ;)
Zona I like candles but never can bring myself to burn them. LOL But I know I would find all kinds of other goodies. I always do! Then I would get it home and say what the hell am I going to do with this.
I really wanted one of those cricket things and had to talk myself down.
Hehehe...Loved the early morning porn, Tina!!! This weekend is going to be a porn weekend for me!!! There is a Bead Fiesta AND a Mineral, Jewelry, Fossil Show!!!!!!! I have never been to the second one, but it should be interesting. I make these wire wrapped geode pendants and the geodes are hard to find, so I have high hopes for this show. The first show looks very similar to your scrapbooking one, with tables set up and many wonderful things to buy...
I am keeping my fingers crossed that my back will allow me to attend both, as it was one massive pain center yesterday. So what did I do today? Get ready for my appointment with the new Doctor??? Nope! I cancelled it!!!...I just did NOT feel up to dealing with it today..Talk about stupid........
LYNND: I got the cricut create when it was on sale at Christmas..I didn't even try and fight it..lol..
Oops...congrats on first Zona!!! And did you enjoy that little conversation with yourself?
SCIRISH: Oh..I just love talking to myself! :D
We have so many bead stores out here. I have a friend who loves to come here to shop for her jewelry hobby.
I hope your back feels better and you can shop to your heart's content this weekend. I'd love to see some of the pendants you make..are they on MS??
Zona....You have BEAD STORES?!!??? There is only one decent one near me and I have pretty much shopped it out, so I'm reduced to shopping online. Sometimes that doesn't work out so well!
I have a couple of things on MySpace, but I am having trouble getting good pictures. I just read some hints on a contest entry form that I was considering, but it involves two people and a sheet.
Uh oh....I just re-read my post....It's a good thing Carol and Tina are giving up porn for Lent!!
scrisy LMAO Two people and a sheet!
You know you are fueling a desire to learn how to make jewelry in me! Arggggh there is a huge store called Shipwreck beads about 25 minutes from my house. I have thought about stopping so many times and have resisted. Must....Not.....Give.....In.
SCIRISH: According to my friend there are quite a few good ones..she buys rocks and gemstones there too.
I think TINA has hit on something..just the way you wrote "BEAD STORES"..I could tell it was your 'porn'..lol..
I bet if you google it..they can tell you how to take some good pics of your pendants. Google knows all! ;)
MEK: You enabler you! Just thought I'd get that in there for when you show up! ;)
I better get to bed..I hope everyone has a great day!
Good Morning OWLETTES!!!!!!!!!
ZONA...Congrats on 1st!!!!!
Tina...LOL...I think scrapbooking is my porn also...and Zona...you are right MEK is an enabler!!!
but we must collect!!!
I have the Cricut machine. am finally starting to use it...
I need lessons ...
not much in this area to help with all this stuff I buy on-line!!???
LynnD... MORNING!!!
good resisting...
i can't...
Morning Scirish... I just can't get into the jewelry making and beads.. I already have enough hobbies!!!
Hope every one has a GREAT day...
Lynndeeeee...........I LOVE Shipwreck!!!! They have a HUGE amount of stuff....Go ahead and give in. LOL!
OOPS!!!
I missed Goldie!!
Have a great day with the babies!!!!
Cookie baking... sounds like my kind of day!!!
HEY MEK!!!!!!!!!!
OMG - TINA - you tease - you almost showed me a BOOTH - with stuff to BUY!!!!
I'm probably the ONLY person that truly appreciates and LOVES how you spent your weekend - it's like I died and went to heaven!!
This video, ladies -
That is a crop!!!!
:-)
Tina - thank you for sharing - and yes, I suppose scrapbooking is my vise!!!
OOPS, that was 25 by accident
Happy Tuesday...
Zona - congrats on FIRST..
and yes, the music in the background reminded me of "Music and Lyrics" - LOVE that movie..
Zona - if Tina is getting all your "porn" - you might have to rent a U-Haul!!!
Goldie - your visit sounds WONDERFUL...McDonald's (I collect boy toys for my nephews).
now - cookies and coloring eggs - can't get any better than that...
ENJOY!!!
Zona ~ Maybe a cross country trip is in order...with a bumper sticker saying "I Brake for Bead Stores" :)
MEK, does a 25 by accident? Uh huh.
Tina and Goldie: I think Tina shot herself in the foot; her quest is doomed.
Reason: Because she forced Carol to give it up for such a noble cause, I have full confidence that Carol will be... porn again!
Lynn - LMAO - scrappers hell - the glue sniffers are banished to those empty tables!!!
I swear you crack me up every day!!
Zona - you don't really have to know what to do with that stuff - but you MUST own it!! It's called "collecting" - and you never know - the one day you need it - you won't have it!!! LOL
Scirish - hope you are feeling better so that you can go enjoy your "passion"... :-)
Zona - I literally spit out my milk..
"You enabler you"..
LOVE IT.....
I swear - i can NOT enable people enough when it comes to scrapbook stuff!!!
:-)
IBB - good morning, my little sister!!!
I can't believe YOU would call me an enabler!! LOL..
My poor sister -
you guys - she OWNS SO much stuff because of me - and i haven't been able to get back there and teach her how to utilize it all!!!
OH - the fun we will have!!!
Whabby - good morning!!!
:-)
Tina- I love how much room the expo allowed for each scrapper..
there was an expo here this weekend and I did NOT go...
Yes - someone better take my temp!!
BUT - I stayed away - cuz I really can't think of ANYTHING that I still need to own.......
trying some self control!!!
Okay - i better go tend to Mr. MEK - he's in alot of pain..
really - I need to be on dog duty, so that he can rest!!
bbl...
I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)
Congrats on first, Zona~ I waited until there was a half decent song on before filming...i really wanted "My Life Would Suck Without You!" but I had to settle for this one~ :)~
Goldie~ It sounds like you are having the best time with the kids~
LynnD~ ya brat!~ I like to stretch it~ ijs~
Scirish~ I love beady thingies~ I can usually find stuff to use for scrapbooking~
IBB~ I love my Cricut and my Cuttlebug~ they are so fun~
MEK~ the expo IS like dying and going to heaven~ Hope Mr Mek is doing okay~
Bear~ OMG!!! you're a nut~ lol~ Hey...have you seen Knowing, yet?
Tina..
I have a cricut and a cuttle Bug... the cuttle bug is still in the box... don't know how to use it... and I have a bunch of sleeves for it... and I have a quikutz too... and many alphabets for it too... I hear they work in cuttle bug also!!!
I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!
Hello.. My name is IBB and I am a scrap-buyer-aholic!!
but I don't know how to use it!!!
IBB - OMG - you are making me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!
guess the next video for you is a cuttlebug lesson!!! (yes, you can use your quikcuts in the cuttlebug)
:-)
Yes, Cricut and Cuttlebug - OMG..
Tina - thanks again for the "fix" today!!
Tina_not_a_HO_during_lent:
I am glad you enjoyed urself. I expect to see some cards soon then.
MEK: Collecting boy toys? Goes right along with the theme dontcha think?
Bear!!! I just about spit out my drink this morning when I read your lil update on Facebook.... you dirty lil bear you~ ;-)
Morning Hooters! Gotta get to work now.
Good morning/afternoon!
Tina, I recently saw an infomercial and it showed a "CRICKUT", so now I know what you are all talking about!
That is a pretty cool toy!
I've never gotten into scrapbooking. I used to do lots of cross stitch stuff, and make Christmas wreaths out of grapevine.
Congrats to Zona on 1st today!
I just committed to going house hunting with my mother in law on Thursday. One of these days she will get a house! She has had bad luck so far.
There are so many foreclosures around here, and investors are swooping in and buying up all the affordable homes.
MR. EBJs mother has a good amount of cash to put down, but the people who offer all cash (i.e. investors) are the ones getting the houses.
They fix them up and rent them out, and will sell them some day when the housing market improves.
Hope MR. MEK is feeling good today! Give him my best!
Be back later! Have a nice day!
OMG! Eunice! Love your new 'do!
"The Bride of Eunistein" lol
Happy Tuesday Owls.
Tina, I LOVE this video although if you were talking, I still have no audio so I didn't hear it.
I have always wanted to go to a scrapbook expo, but for some reason when they are here it always conflicts with something else. I can hear you and MEK yelling WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE IMPORTANT????? I guess I really have to get my priorities in order.
MEK-the-enabler, Last night QVC had a scrapbookinbg segment and the woman was demonstrating a tape runner thingy that is used for boarders and she couldn't get it to work. I laughed so hard I peed a little. AND I didn't buy anything!
Zona, congrats on #1thru FORE! I love that you love talking to yourself. My kids used to make fun of me for talking to myself and I would tell them it was the only intelligent conversation I could get.
AND I will be happy to give you a personal tour of my new kitchen when you come to Sac. BTW, I chose a minty green color.
K'Girl - yes, the boy toy does fit into today's theme...
you should have seen the look on the cashier's face at McDonald's when I asked for a "boy toy" with my Mighty Meal - you could just see the wheels turning in her head..
I LOVED IT!!!
let's go
for
YES......... HAPPY DANCE!!!
SacBarb - i was watching QVC as well last night - and just LOVE when they can't get stuff to work..
I was just getting ready to tell everyone......
ENABLE ALERT......
QVC has TWO scrapbook shows on this afternoon..........
BUT - sadly, I won't be able to watch!!
:-)
Goldie, Thanks for sharing all the fun you're having with the g-kids. I haven't colored eggs for Easter since my only grandchild was 9. He will be 18 in April.
LynnD, LOL @ 'talk myself down' Why not go for it?
Scirish, two people and a sheet? hmmmmmm
Bear, you are so punny....
Gotta go let the painter in...bbl
EBJ - crossing fingers for your MIL and her house hunting...
Mr. MEK is doing well - he's in some pain - but resting well...
MEK, Glad Mr. MEK is doing well. Sending up healing prayers for him and coping prayers for you.
Zona,
Happy First! :O) and loved the new "porn" avatar..lol...
Good Afternoon!
SCIRISH: A cross country bead quest..how much fun would that be?
IBB: I have the cuttlebug..and more than a dozen little plastic thingees that are used with it. Can you tell mine is still in the box..and that I haven't got a clue how to use it either?? ;)
MEK: Yep, TINA gets it all! It's in the will..lol!! Both Mr. Z and my sister asked if they could mail it to her...I just laughed and laughed. Can you imagine the UPS guy's truck THAT day?? I have five times more stuff now than I did when you were here last year. No...ten times as much!!
TinaHO!!!!
I so miss my obsession, I can't even think straight, I find myself and my thoughts wandering to those days of porn 24/7, just a couple of more weeks, and I can be myself again.
You wrote a terrific blog, I loved the way you tagged your obsession with mine. However, you must remember I learned all my porn from you, you are a amazing teacher. Thank You!
And that lady in the vid with the cane, OMG.. just can't picture her in a porn vid, then again, wonders never cease, and she could be "Debbie" from "Debbie does Dallas" it is quite a number of yrs since that porn movie came out, poor thing tho, her profession as taken a toll on her legs.. LOL..
Hi Zona, waving madly..
Did you get my rambling msg last nite.. :O)
Ibb..
The heck with scrapbooking, just turn to porn, its so much easier, and no gadgets are required, well except if you into that sort of thing..
Crap, sorry, I could not help it..
Tina started this..
EUNICE!!!! LMAO! You're just electrifying today!! Love the velvet dress..and your upswept hairstyle! :D :D :D
BEAR: omg...you did not say 'porn again..' :I ... :D
MEK: You're right..I NEVER have what I need. Mr. Z doesn't see how that is possible, but it happens every time! lol..
Ibb said...
"Hello.. My name is IBB and I am a scrap-buyer-aholic!!
but I don't know how to use it!!!"
cpgem says...
"Hello.. My name is cpgem8 and I am a Porn-lover-aholic!!
and I certainly now how to use it!!
Tina...
OMG.. Eunice is Elvira!
Mek,
Glad Mr Mek is doing better..
Mek,
You are so funny.. scrapbooking gets you so excited.. Good for you..
Something like what porn does for me..
EBJ: I did cross stitch too..but gave it up years ago. I keep trying to get TINA to take the floss, material, books etc..so far..no go.. ;)
SACBARB: I have to watch the talking to myself stuff..I'm liable to put myself to sleep! Ask JODI how yawn inducing I can be! Can't wait to see the kitchen! :)
'ello KGRL!!
MEK: I hope Mr. M is better this afternoon..and that Tug is behaving herself!
I have to go back to work..
See ya all 2nite...
Hmm.. DWTS and AIdol 2nite.. I am going to have flip back and forth, I don't have one of those DVR thingamajig's, I hope my fingers are up to it..

Gotta go feed the Nikster..she's starting to eye my toe for dinner again!
bbl!
Have not had time to read all the comments I'm so rushed trying to get ready for this trip!
Tina, your blog made me laugh! I used to be a scrap-a-holic, too but the past year I seem to have lost interest--not even making cards anymore.
I'll be back later to catch up!
cpgem - I hate to burst your bubble - but Idol is NOT on tonight. The President is pre-empting it..
Congrats on first Zona!
Tina: Great Blog! I liked the little "bye" at the end..lol. It was an interesting event. I have never seen anything like that before. My son goes to LAN events but they have all guys in them. Seems kinda like the same thing. Are they one day events or a couple of days?
Going to read comments. I hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday!
Whabby: LMAO at "porn again"..too funny!
Carol: I hate to tell ya, no Idol tonight..I am sure someone already told you though, I need to read more...haha
Hi hooters!
Well my mother in law ended up coming down this morning, after we found out about 2 houses that fit her criteria.
Sooo we went off with the agent, came home and when MR. EBJ got home, went back so he could look.
Came back here and put an offer on a cute little place.
I am not sure about the people who owned it before. The living room walls are a mauve color, with brown and mauve drapes.
Kitchen is a dark ugly green.
Today is the first day I've ever seen a black bedroom.
Yes, it was a Raiders bedroom, black walls, silver carpet and Raiders logo curtains.
Don't think it will stay if my MIL gets it!
One of the bedrooms is pink, and the 3rd bedroom is dark blue.
Hardwood flooring luckily through most of it.
It'll be cute once it's painted!
Has about 20 gorgeous rose bushes in the front yard, with a white picket fence. And a beautiful redwood tree in the center of the front yard.
So, DWTS fans, who do you think is going home tonight???
I think it might be Holly or Woz.
88
Bebbi..Mek..
Thanks, I found out when I got home, cause when I turned the TV on and saw the President I knew..
So AIdol, is Wed and Thur..
Does anyone know what time on each night?
EBJ...
The colors sound quite off, however that is what is so amazing about paint, you can just paint right over it... however the black color room might have to be stripped.. which I think is alot of work.. but not sure, The last thing I painted was a paint my numbers with my godchild..
I have to get tomorrows blog ready to post.. I will bbl..
:O)
OK, blogs are in order, geez I just did three blogs.. I am speedy..
