Oh you have NO idea.
I am one who likes to get things done....like yesterday. And if I ask him to do something and he doesn;t do it YESTERDAY, I call my step-dad or one of the neighborhood husbands to come do it...and OMG it pisses him off something fierce! I had a flat tire one afternoon and was supposed to be bringing my kids to my parent's for a family dinner. DH was stuck at work so my neighbor's DH fixed it for me. DH was so upset - LOL He DESPERATELY needs to feel needed.

ChefBeckyD said:Yesterday, I was back on this thread, looking for some inspiration - because my office is STILL a wreck.....and I clicked on Carolyn's "before" pictures...my DS (who's 2 1/2) was sitting next to me, and he said "Mommy, is that your office?"
Bahahaha!! When my cleaning and organizing frenzy started affecting the entire house - my kids came home from scjool one day and said "I think we're in the wrong house"

I am STILL working out of baskets and containers all over my house (can you believe this?!!!). We are supposed to pick up an old office desk from my brother's company this weekend, so I hope to be set up soon myself! LOL. I can't wait to see the pictures here. I'll be using the alcove area in my bedroom (need to relocate my husbands dresser and my treadmill somewhere)...

We bought her all the cartridges they had (except the ones for younger kids stuff think it's barnyard animals or something). & allt he tools Wish the mats lasted longer.
Imagine my surprise around Christmas when Hobby Lobby and JoAnns started selling it the price about $229 and cartridges were about $50 Michaels has never dropped their price to match. the other 2 places are almost always out.
I think they released 2 new cartridges she wants so we'll tuck them in her Easter basket.
I thought it would be great for school projects but she hasn't had one sinc ewe gave it to her last year.

I was telling her last night she needed to get it out and use it to make sure before the one year was up but said she remembered we gave it to her way before her birthday....(which is why it says March or April) .. & of course she left early today for a sleepover.
"I" still think it was May so I'll look for the receipt and I may play with it just to make sure, it still works properly.
It amy be so much fun I'll have to go get her the embosser!! HA Wonde how I could make that a business expense?

A Compliance Director handles all Quality issues and Improvement issues for a company. It mostly relates to ISO 9001. This is it in nut shell, but gets quite a bit more complicated. I do many process audits on all the departments, write new policy and procedures...write manuals. Find Non conformities in the office, organizes. rewrite procedures if we can do them quicker or better. Alot of reseach and analyizing of numbers.
Basic explanation....LOL

pchefkristin said:Ditto that! Wish they had come out with that first! Here I am still dreaming about a 12x12 printer!
Me too!! Me too!!! I have the cutest project that requires printing
it on 12 x 12 paper. I actually found a 12 x 12 printer but it was over
$300 & it was only for printing...not an all-in-one like the one I have.
I just couldn't justify the expense.
