This is not really a fact that I share with the law school crowd. Too mom-ish. It sounds like a bunch of women acting like kids, playing with their stickers and paper. And it is, really. And it's fun. But the real reason I scrap is because once a month or so I get to go hang out with my friends. We complain about our husbands and our mothers, we compare what our kids are doing, we gossip incessantly.
There are three of us who usually get together and this weekend is our monthly scrap night. But one of the girls just told me that we will have a fourth this month. I wouldn't care, but this particular person (we'll call her Ms. Whiner), is a big downer. She has scrapped with us before and spends the entire time complaining about her life, her problems, and how she has no money (after she dropped $90 in the scrapbook store!) It totally ruins the point--for me anyway--of getting to have a fun night out with my friends.
So should I go this weekend or not? I've have a ton of spring break pics that need to be scrapped. And I think that my friends will think I'm intentionally avoiding Ms. Whiner if I don't go which just makes me look like a big "its her or me" whiney baby.
Oh, forgot to add that the last time we scrapped, I made Ms. Whiner cry when we were debating gay marriage. (No, she's not gay and had no personal reason for crying. She was against marriage "because the Bible says so"). That's why I like my law school friends--nobody cries when we debate a difference of opinion.
