I'm sure someone is going to yell at me!

I have to confess something to the Green Turtle...true, I could just do it over email, but I'm hoping that someone will come to my defense when he gets mad at me over this...what can I say? I need the moral support.

So, I was supposed to go on my very first non-date letterboxing excursion this Saturday. If you don't know what letterboxing is, the short definition is that it is the religion of the Green Turtle. Okay, that's not really a definition--if you are interested, follow the link. Anyway, I my first major sin was that I had(GASP!) a manufactured stamp! You see, I'm not a "stamper" much less someone who would make my own stamp. However, I found a really cute cat stamp at Michael's (and, or course, orange ink...my little Carmel stamp!) and, since it's far better than I could ever make, I decided to use that. I'm sure that admission alone will send me straight to letterboxing hell.

Now, hopefully, the Green Turtle is so upset about THAT that he's not reading anymore. Because, you see, there has been a change of plans. I have a very bad habit of over-booking myself and I had to reshuffle my schedule and weigh some different obligations against each other and chose the best one. And, here it is...instead of going letterboxing, I will be getting a manicure and pedicure.

Please, my loyal readers, stand by me and let the Green Turtle that a girl sometimes just needs nice looking nails! And I promise that, someday, maybe once again on a date (although not on a first date), I will go letterboxing. Honest!

Green turtle...forgive me?????

Boy, you make me sound like some sort of horrible letterboxing monster. Using a store-bought stamp is hardly a crime, though if you ever plant a box with one I probably won't bother to look for it. As for the manicure and pedicure--I can't say I really understand the fuss about those--but I'd hardly be upset about the choice. Letterboxing can be done by anyone, but it's not neccesarily everyone's cup of tea either. And, darn it, I can respect that. *nodding*
