@ SUPER CUTE!!! Maybe it depends on where your FGC lives (house/appt/dorm) and if they're married/single?

Thanks! Yeah, I was thinking about how she doesn't really live in an area close to the beach, so it might not (most likely) match her decor. I know that I always change my outdoor decorations each season, but not everyone does that and her liking it truly depends on her sense of decor.

@@chelsealynn I love it there too. I really miss it. We went there because my fiance had an internship there at the Hyannisport Club. I worked at a bathing suit store. Where did you stay at?

This day is getting so crazy I don't know whether to laugh or cry.  I have a final tomorrow night and need to go ask some questions at my Professor's office hour.  I am also having the worst morning sickness of my entire pregnancy so far and I'm giving myself about 70/30 odds for puking in his office.  I'm trying to figure out if that will gain me his pity or if he will just hate me forever, lol.  

On a happier note I had a dream that we all lived in the same town.  I have been watching a lot of the old series Eureka lately and it was pretty much that town but with all the MUT ladies.  It was awesome having coffee with you guys.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@Sheeeeeelby We stayed in Dennis but went all over Cape Cod.  I loved that Dennis was kind of in the center of the Cape.  We went to Falmouth for a day, Race Point Beach, a lot of different places.  It must have been amazing to be there for two summers.  I can't wait to go back one day.

Good luck with your professor and your final! Finals week is coming up for me as well and bleghhh, don't want to think about it.

And I really wish we all lived close together, you ladies are such an encouraging, amazing group of women and I love you all.

@@chelsealynn I don't think I went into Dennis, but I did go to Race Point Beach! It was my FAVORITE BEACH! So gorgeous. One day, the guys were out swimming and the girls on the beach - a seal popped its head up and just swam past the guys. So cool!! I worked in Mashpee & was also often in Hyannis. ahhh, miss it SO MUCH now!

Aww sorry to hear you were sick and about your aunt.  I bet Turkey and Greece were amazing!

I think you should get your FGC personal favorites!  I would love to have German drugstore or just makeup from Germany and having the Essence World Cup or Catrice mermaid collections would be awesome!  Since your FGC is easy going go for it!  I think she will realize it came from the heart and love what you send.

Safe travels back to the US!  Enjoy catching up with family and eating all your favorite goodies!

Thank you! I loved Greece and Turkey it was a great vacation. I was happy with all the cats there and took tons of pictures. There were two unoffical hotel cats I played with almost every day. The hubby had to keep reminding me that they were not my cats and I couldnt bring them home lol. I went shopping for my FGC both collections where almost sold out but I found a few things I think she will like. I cant wait to be back in the states and see family.

Unfortunately the guy who threw things at me essentially is our HR department.  I work in a super small office (less than 10 people) and the 'policy' is that if we have an issue with someone, we either try to address it with them or if that isn't possible or doesn't work, we go to this guy.  There is no policy when we have an issue with this guy.  My other boss who is sort of equally in charge along with him did tell him he can't do it again and I do believe he took her seriously, but it was a really scary and honestly traumatizing experience.

Sorry to keep moaning on.  I hope I'll have happy news soon!

It definitely sounds like a scary experience. I really hope this never happens again. Sending lots of hugs! :hugs3:

Let's see if I can figure out this "posting pics from a phone" thing...

My craft actually worked! I will be re-doing one of the necklaces (the green one) due to bubbles/weirdness around one of the edges, but I'll keep it and wear it myself. I'm going to pick two necklaces to send, I'm definitely sending the anchor one! How perfect is that for summer!?

Putting under spoiler in case of huge pics!

Great job on the necklaces! Im in love with th green and the anchor ones your FGC is very lucky.

Oh my goodness. . . craft fairs.  Oh how I miss them.  When we were stationed in UT they had them ALL THE TIME.  When we were in Germany they had bazars, & village Christmas markets filled with fun things like this.  Now that we're stationed in VA I have yet to see any form of a craft show or even a flea market.  Oh how I miss them.

Whomever receives the beautiful necklaces will be lucky indeed.  So much talent here!!!

I love all the Christmas markets and fest here in Germany so many awesome things.

 

[JC327]

My problem with Pinterest actually is that I did SO MUCH PINNING and very little doing.  It was like WOAH AWESOME RECIPE!!! And then i'd pin20 other awesome recipes and be so busy pinning I didn't make the first awesome recipe.

I would LOVE a Wreath!

This sounds great!

Sounds like me lol wish i could do/buy all the things i pin.

I loved Eureka! Hope your morning sickness gets better soon.

Yeesh.  The downstairs neighbors received my [redacted] order for my goddaughter, and I received something from Jeffery's doctor.  

Next week is going to be *ugly*.  There are four people in my department, and two of them will be on vacation.  On Mondays and Tuesdays, I can barely get my own job done, nevermind theirs as well.  And then one of them will *still* be on vacation the following week.  Fetal position time!

@ that wreath is very pretty. I love changing my door wreaths with the season as well. I love the really big mesh wreaths.

 

[Jac13]

@ those are really nice. I think I might try this with my girl scout troop.

 

[LadyK]

Feeling much better about my gift.  I followed all the advice you guys gave and went to Forever 21 for some accessories.  I may have been slightly excited by all the cute stuff and gone a teensie weensie bit over budget but now all that I need to do is make my homemade stuff and wrap.  I can't wait to start wrapping!  

 

[chelsealynn]

@Sheeeeeelby  That's so funny!  When at Race Point my boyfriend and I also saw a seal in the ocean.  They must be common there.  I can't imagine seeing one swim by while in the ocean though!  Race Point was my favorite beach as well.  I loved the sand, it was so coarse and more like little stones than the fine sand I typically see in Jersey.  I liked Mayflower beach a lot too.   I believe that was in Dennis.  There were little hermit crabs on the beach that were really cute!

Ugh, you guys... Woke up with the WORST headache today. Some apple juice, Gatorade, an ibuprofen and some of my kids goldfish crackers later, I feel a bit better, but it's gonna be one of those "swimming uphill in molasses" days.

Uuuurrrrgh. Zombie head, for real.
