A day at the store
A bit of background: As a lot of you know I am from England and I say the F word a lot. It is just like saying "hello" or another normal word. It just doesn't have that foul meaning when people say it in anger. It is a fact, I do say it a lot. (I know my Mother would be horrified and disagree saying I was brought up better).
Well I had had a particularly stressful week and I was saying it a lot, and I mean a lot. So Rosemary tells me off, saying I would have to pay her 25cents everytime I said it. I offered to give her $20 right away so I would be free to express myself but, she said no I should just pay the quarter whenever I said it. So the day goes like this.
Me: normal conversation then
Me: that's a lot of f***** crap
Rosemary: You owe me a quarter.
Me: That's no f*** fair, it's the vendors fault
Rosemary: You owe me another quarter.
Me: Damn I am going to be broke I have no f**** money
Rosemary: You owe me another quarter.
You can see where this is going. I am now down about $1.50 and we have a class starting.
The Class is going well (Rosemary is teaching, I am working on the computer and assisting the class at the same time; yes I can multitask!)
Rosemary: Can you get so and so something
Me: F do you know where it is, I can't find it
Rosemary: You owe me another quarter
By this time I am catching on to the game. (yes, I can be a little slow)
Me: haha, I found the DARN ink blending tool, there I did not say the word, you owe me a Quarter
Rosemary: No it does not work that way.
(she then explains to the class what is happening)
I think that at this point the people in the class are trying to get me to say the word, just so I will have to pay.
But, I am wise to the game now and at the end of the evening, Rosemary owes me $18.50 for not saying it. Finally I can buy lunch for the next two days!!! The class starts laughing at me.
Rosemary says that it only works one way, If I say it I pay, if I don't say it I don't EARN money.
Lesson Learned: If you play a game with Rosemary get the rules in writing!!!
I think I will play the game with Capella on Monday using Rosemary's rules. She says "Whatever" a lot so I can earn lunch money from her next week!

BasicGrey Page of the Month
Here's how it will work. Each month you will receive a kit with supplies to create a double-page layout. These are just not any kits, they will be filled with Basic Grey's newest paper collections and embellishments to get you excited and creating with their newest goodies. Within the kit there will also be a full set of instructions and color photo of the completed layout for you to reference. After creating your double page layout you will still have materials remaining to make even more stuff with.
Now you know we can't do anything the same way everyone else does it, so we will be adding our flair to the layout.
We will hold a monthly, Basic Grey Page of the Month Club meeting every month. Here you can work on the layout that we have designed with the kit or make the layout using the instructions provided by Basic Grey. Either way you will leave with something fabulous! If you are not able to make it to the Monthly meeting you may pick up your kit anytime after the monthly meeting date. You may also choose to just pick up your kit and not attend meetings.
The Basic Grey Page of the Month Club begins March 2010 and continues to February 2011, a one-year commitment. The cost is $60 per quarter. There's more...upon completing the BGPOFTMC you will receive an exclusive Basic Grey 12x12 Album to hold all those BG layouts you've created over the past year. This album will be exclusive to the BGPOFTMC, so the only way to get one is to join today.
Here is the album you get at the end.
This would make a perfect gift for someone, an album filled with layouts!
