I wasn't sure if I could be there, but my afternoon has cleared up, so I get to play!

Butterflies make me think of spring.

Ours is coming down this weekend...I'm tired of it all. When I win the lottery, I'm going to have a special closet built for the decorated Christmas tree, and I'll just roll it out after Thanksgiving, then roll it right back into the closet at New Year's.

Lynda,
I love the bag a day idea...I may have to put that in place here. We have so much clutter around right now, with Christmas stuff still looking for new homes and my (almost-hoarder) husband being out of work. I'm not the neatest person in the world, and it's even starting to get to me!!

What a mess...I'm so sorry to hear this Nancy. If I were closer, I'd help with the wrapping (someone else can handle the shopping!!). Glad your BF is ok, and I seriously hope they find the losers that stole your van. What is WRONG with people?!?!? Sending lots of hugs, and wishes for a better day to...

Congrats, Nancy!! That's great!

My dh and I got a donation like that one Christmas....my mother-in-law bought us a goat. The card given to us stated that she purchased this goat for a family in Africa...the goat would give the family milk, etc......You can also buy chickens, pigs, etc... We thought it was a wonderful idea, and so...

Good morning. Plan for the day is church, then to my FIL's house for the first of our 3 Thanksgiving dinners (over the next week). I'm pretty excited about it, because that family has been pretty splintered since FIL's father passed away...and almost everyone will be there today...together for the f...

Plain old pancakes with butter and syrup here, too. But loving the sound of the pumpkin pancakes...might have to check those out!

I cannot read it... saw a pic on the front page of MSN and just that broke my heart! i felt the same way :waiting: the photos & caption alone on yahoo news was enough to make me tear up! I'm in the same boat. I want to read it, but I just can't. I'll be a big sobbing mess. I can imagine what it...

I struggle, too, with mixing patterns. I've found that I learn a lot going through the gallery here or magazines, and finding the layouts that really jump out at me...that really say "wow". Then I study that layout and figure out what it is that makes me say wow. Is it the colors, or the e...

Does anyone here have any experience with Montessori Schools? I'm going back to work and am looking at a Montessori School for preschool for my son. He's 3 1/2. I need to move him from the current school because it's just too far from my job. The Montessori School is more expensive, but seems to be ...

Love that zoo! Have a wonderful time!

Breakfast depends on what's going on that day...usually by 7 or so. Dinner is usually at about 6:30, so that we have a little time afterward to play with DS before he's off to bed at 8:00.

Sooooo, if there are so many of us "TP-over" people, who the H#@$ keeps putting it under in so many places?!?!? (I'm a TP-over person too, if you couldn't tell) :greenwinka: I have to get ready in exactly the same order every morning, or I'm likely to go out minus some article of clothing ...

I keep my toes done in the spring/summer, just because I'm always in sandals. Once I got the first pedi a couple years ago, I totally treat myself every 5 weeks or so. Fingers, no. My nails are so soft and thin, they bend and break so easily, and nail polish doesn't stay on them very well. Right now...

Tell him congrats!! That's an awesome accomplishment. I quit after 20 years after I learned that my dog was terribly allergic, and it was killing my poor dog (never mind that I was killing DH or myself!!!). I was so motivated by that and the fact that we wanted to start trying to get pregnant. My do...

Oh, Nancy...yay for you! That's great! Congratulations. I know you and the kids will be thrilled to be there!

Congrats all!

What a great summer you and your kids are having! Looks like a great time...so glad you all had fun!
