Don't be discouraged. There's no better path to victory than practice.

I went out and practiced shopping. Did you know that Crayola Crayons come in 96 colors now!!!! I kid you not!!!!! Woohoo!!!!! And they smell exactly the same. I'm in coloring heaven.

Well, Hell!!! Now I'm jealous!! All I've got here at home is the basic eight with a Dora the Explorer coloring book! But hey! I can go sniff the new box, can't I? LOL

Speaking of practice... I could practice my painting. Only I can't find my practice sheet for Sweet Peas! gggrrrr You'd think they were easy enough, wouldn't you? Oh, well. I'll just make myself happy by sniffing the Crayolas.

Do you know if they still make that grade school paste??

XD That's so funny you guys. XD I like the smell of play dough the best. :3

[SeptemberMorn]

You gotta remember, Pat and I go waaaaaaaaay back! I like the smell of play dough well enough, but you should have whiffed the old fashioned clay we played with. Still, though. Nothing beats the smell of Crayolas and paste.

[SpazKatt]

Thanks Tomi!

[nothemama8]

Oh girls don't forget the old-fashion Gum Erasers, they fell apart as you used them, and finger paints
Angie

How bout the home made play dough that tasted like salt....ucky. Why did I always taste it? Finger licking good I suppose....

Thanks again Tomi. You're right, pracice makes ALMOST perfect. No victory is without flaw but then again without flaws we wouldn't learn. Anyway, thanks.

Ry

paste smelled sweet and crayons smelled worldly....

Crayolas and paste. Aaaaaaah

Can't forget the smell of mimeographs. (Like THAT didn't date me or anything)

I'm a perfectionist. Having to practice just pisses me off. I want to be good at something before I've ever done it.

LMAO WI Fighter. Were we siblings in a past life? I'm EXACTLY the same way, and if I'm not good at it, then damn it I'm not gonna do it at all.

Ry, OMG, that's it exactly. I took my daughter to an indoor rock climbing place for her birthday. We happened to be the only ones there due to the time of day and it was a weekday (no school that day), and I made sure I kept out of sight of the owner so I didn't feel like an idiot. Had there been other people there, I probably wouldn't have tried the bouldering section at all because I could only manage a couple of feet across the wall before my fingers gave out and I had to jump down.

Now, mind you, it WAS fun, but I just hate looking uncoordinated.

My brother is similar, only if he can't HAVE the best of something he'd rather do without.

My mom isn't like either one of us. She'll make do with what she has and has no problems looking like a fool as long as she's having fun.

LMAO Yup! You sure did date yourself! How well I remember that smell. Shortly after high school, I had the chance to work for a publishing house. From time to time, I had to go to the "shop" to help with the copying of material. Guess what machine I trained on? YEP! The mimeograph machine!! I was in 7th heaven... except for the headaches I got from the fumes. I was in the beginning of my first tri-mester.

remember what an honor it was to get to "dust the erasers"?

[SeptemberMorn]

I know! And I never got to!!

[wi_fighter]

SM, all you really missed out on was a case of white lung. Well, at least that's what I tell myself because I only got to dust the erasers once.

[SpazKatt]

OMG! yes that was soo fun and what an honor!!! It DID get out outside... except if you did it on the builing you'd get in trouble!

Since Ry deleted the first post of this thread, are we *really* guilty of threadjacking it, or has it turned into another free-for-all?

I used to love when our biology teacher let us have class outdoors when we were dissecting nasty, smelly things.

Hope you aren't still feeling discouraged Ry. Things seem to be looking up for you right now. &lt;hugs&gt;

Did I delete a post? Or did it get deleted by someone else?

Ry

[wi_fighter]

Or did you just title the thread and not leave a message?

The first post is by SeptemberMorn.

Oh, I know, I alwyays just type in the quick response box and it RE:'s whoever posted above me. Thanks again Tomi for a wonderful piece of advise.

Ry

[SpazKatt]

I do the same thing ry

[SeptemberMorn]

It's My thread, I started it and I say Hijack it all you want. This is too much fun! LOL

:::muttering... "practice, practice, practice..." :::

[wi_fighter]

Oh, duh, sorry. I could have sworn it said Ryan. I'm just a 'tard. I saw where it said "by Ryan" when he replied and my brain said he started it.
