Happy New Years all! Feels weird starting a new thread.
So far I've been putting the year on things correctly. However, I keep putting December on everything!
Hoping 2022 isn't 2020 3.0! (So far, it doesn't look encouraging...) I hope someone's good luck charms have worked!
LOL Shera, I have the same problem! @Theresa... I hope your 2022 is filled with joy, health, and peace my friend... I know it has been tough for you so I am sending some positive vibes your way:)
I hope you all had wonderful holidays and a healthy and bright New Year! Just wanted to put out some housekeeping things... As we transition into 2022, the mods are hard at work moving folders and making new Vampire Heart threads and so on... All 2021 hearts have been posted and the old challenges are placed in the crypt... Feel free to check out your heart thread and PM me if something is missing... I am almost done with my first batch of Vampire Heart threads for 2022 and will be posting them soon... You will know it is a new one because it will have "2022" after your name... If you would like to request a heart thread (We typically make them after you have participated in some challenges), jump into the "How to Earn a Vampire Heart" thread in the Vampire Heart folder and place a request... I will get to it ASAP... Feel free to PM me with any questions... I am looking forward to another fabulous year with all of you:)
Hello all, I hope you are all having a good start to your weekend... We have an intense day ahead... My oldest is auditioning for college acting programs and today she has a virtual audition... She is ready to go, but as a mom I am so nervous for her... She will do great though; ready to get these auditions going and move forward! We are celebrating tonight with a good dinner at the Cheesecake factory! A winter storm is heading our way on Sunday, so the remainder of the weekend may be reading, rest, and relaxation... OR shoveling snow, LOL! Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks, Theresa! Hope the audition went well! Also hope the winter storm isn't too bad for you or me or anyone!
Thanks ladies... Her one last weekend went fabulous... We are off to a live audition this weekend... Looking forward to a little road trip and seeing a college... The winter storm left about 10" in it's wake... It was a fun snow day but tired from the shoveling... Anyone have fun plans for this weekend???

Just a few reminders to all those in the Bloody Bazaar...1. On February 1st, all 2021 threads will be placed in the crypt.
2. All 2022 threads are created; jump in your thread to save spots and I will continue to post games.
3. At this time, we have three games in the Bazaar for 2022: Scattegories, Old Maid:Monster Mash, and Zombie - Opoly.
Enjoy!
Thanks ladies, it has all gone very well and is a very exciting time for my daughter... Not sure my nerves can handle all this, but I am hanging in there, LOL! Reading is definitely keeping me sane! Hope you are all doing well:)
Heather wrote: "Dee - that is 4 games :)"LOL, it is actually me posting as the Mod Heather... We actually have 3 games right now... Scattegories, Old Maid, and Zombie-Opoly... More to come though! Old Maid may have looked like 2 separate games because of the Monster Mash part.
Just a reminder to all my Bloody Bazaar friends... February 1st all old threads are gone... New games are posted in the Bazaar... Save those spots and I will post new games!Hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend; those affected by the cold, stay warm... Great reading weather! Have a great week all!
Hello friends... I have started posting hearts for the January challenges... If you have not yet done so, jump in and update your challenges... The January challenges will remain until the end of the week and then be moved to the crypt... Great job everyone!
Hello friends... Well, we are bracing for another winter storm to move through... Rain, sleet, ice, and snow.. All the elements are heading our way... We have another weekend of travel ahead of us for auditions, but everything continues to go well with them so fingers crossed we have another successful trip... Hope everyone is staying warm and healthy... Have a great Wednesday!
Theresa, this time your getting the snow and we are missing out... Stay safe with your travels, best of luck with the auditions.
Thanks everyone... The traveling was surprisingly easy although we were headed to Ohio and they had gotten 15" of snow with this storm... Luckily it had hit a day prior to us arriving so the roads were clear... The audition went fantastic! Now we have a little time to be at home and regroup for our final 2 auditions... It has been a blast seeing all these different campuses... My youngest is also enjoying getting a glimpse into college life... All around a good time!
hope everyone is doing well and had a good Valentines day my hubby bought me Baileys chocolates yummy (yes they are filled with Baileys Irish cream) lol does that count for having a drink Sis (Tammy)? lol
Those sound delicious Dawn... What a good hubby you have!I am having one of those mornings where it is like the domino effect, one bad thing happening after another, LOL!!! My stress level was off the charts, but I think I am settling down now and am ready to tackle the rest of my day... Hope you all have a great one!

Depends how strong they are... sounds yummy....
Hey, does anyone use Libby in the group? I just found out that they're closing up Overdrive and trying to move everyone to Libby. I'm pretty sure Libby doesn't let you transfer the audiodbooks to mp3 and export them? Or does it? Anyone? (As far as I can tell I don't think there is a desktop version of libby either.)

Not strong enough lol
I don't use Libby Shera, sorry.We made it through audition season... It is so nice to be on the other side of the entire application process... Now we wait to hear results and move forward from there:)
How in the world is it March 1st??? Didn't we just star this crazy year??? I swear time is speeding up... Anyone partaking in Mardi Gras celebrations? I enjoyed a donut today, LOL!
Are donuts a Mardi Gras thing? My cousin in Germany shared a photo of the most delicious looking doughnuts today and she said they have them every year for carinval.
I sent my husband to work with a king's cake, I forgot to put beads on myself. I also made a cake for my neighbor. It sneaked up on me

Donuts are a popular choice for Fat Tuesday!
Hello friends, hope you are all doing well! Things for me have been busy but good... Finally got out in my flower gardens for a bit and started cleaning them up... It was nice to get some fresh air and feel like spring is coming... I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with the deer this year; I am determined to see my flowers and not have them decimate them... Anybody have any tried and true ways of keeping the deer off flowers??? I think I may have to get some netting and perhaps try one more type of spray or make a home remedy spray... Not sure yet but hopefully will think of something!
We don't have wild deer here but I would so love to see them. I've been very excited to see the bunnies moving about the lawn the last few days.
Deer are the worst for flowers. My M-I-L tried nets for a couple years, they helped, but you have to get the really fine mesh because the deer eventually find a way to get through it.
