Hurray for you. There is nothing like an afternoon tea served from your very own tea set. :-)

Through time and patience anything can be accomplished, and this is a perfect example. Thanks for sharing that information!

I just loved the groundhog, so it will be well worth the wait... even though the wait won't be that long.

I remember Open Diary, I had a blog on there way back when... is that even still around?

 

I've been on LiveJournal since 2001. I don't have a lot of "friends" on there, because it is more or less where I vent about everything and no one really needs to hear that.

50. I secretly wish I was a ninja. Or at the very least had a ninja at my beck and call.

 

I so here you on this one.

I think is a wonderful idea that your Mom chose to repair the house than build a new one, with all the rich history and fond memories there I know she won't regret that (even if it does cost more).

The other post was just to exposing. Those that read it Thank you for the support.

It means so much. It helps.

 

I can certainly relate to that and though I may not have read that post I hope all is well.

OSU? Is that Ohio State University?

I hope everything is okay.

My sister has been knitting for what seems to be like forever. So have my friends. They all tried to teach me, but I can't just get the hang of it. All my items are in a bag in my closet haunting me. So if it makes you feel any better, your scarf will be done long before mine will ever get started.

I don't think there is anything wrong. Sometimes we just have these moments in life where everything is out of sorts, misplaced and lost. Enjoy your dinner with our folks, enjoy that night out eating good food and creating fond memories; then take things one day at a time. I have a feeling things will get better, they may get worse before that (because life is funny like that), but they will get better.

Things will get better, believe me they will. Just stay strong and try to find something, anything at all to brighten your days as you go through this.

"I am fairly tidy the rest of the month, but not stepford-clean-freak. Unfortunately, my fairly tidiness would be enough if I lived alone, but I don't."

 

I can so relate to that. Sometimes I feel like I am constantly picking up after hubby and he should really know better.

"You don't go to lunch with a lobbyist and not wear Snake Oil."

 

Now that made me chuckle. he he he

 

I hope the presentation goes well on Tuesday... best of luck!

Yikes! That must have been some letter to open up and I couldn't imagine getting a letter like that all these years later. And something about it just seems odd to me, so I wouldn't send them any money. Not one single cent, because I can't believe that a company would wait all this time to collect $900. I think you did the right thing by sending the letter.

 

I hope everything works out.

Your heart turned out wonderful, and I love the "got garlic" shirt. (I'm a huge fan of garlic, I think I'd put it on everything if I could LOL)

a swirl of speed and aggression

 

How true. Sometimes I need to slow down, calm down and remember what life is all about.

 

Thanks for sharing!

Happy holidays and it sounds you like had a wonderful one. Hurray for stress free holidays!

Awe.... what a wonderful gift to give your hubby, truly from the heart! And a Firefly DVD to boot! It does sound like the best christmas ever.

I love the shirts. Very creative.

 

And I want my own Frakkin' Toasters shirt. No one around me would get it, unless they're a fan of BSG, but that is fine by me. he he he

Double post, that was weird and I can't delete it... so if you want too, feel free.

I'm guessing your question was to my reviews in my blog... since I think I'm the only one doing it.

 

I post my reviews in the review section and then in my blog, both here and on my web site, so it is easier to track for me. Posting it in my blog is more for me than it is for anyone else (though that may not make sense to anyone else )

I've actually seen a handful of people with reverse french manicures, white nails with black tips, and I actually like it. However, I could never pull it off as I do my nails myself and I don't have a steady hand. And I'm more partial to short and neatly trimmed nails in purples, greys and even black.

Such bold colors in your place.... I love it.

 

Poppies are among my favorite flowers. I can't wait until I can start planting again. The mural is just breathtaking.

 

My Mr. isn't the best when it comes to taking photos, he still fights it when I ask him to take a shot of me, but he is getting better. I try to look on the bright side, at least with a digital camera I can delete his photos with missing body people and body parts.

I've never read the hijack thread before, but I have to say that after I read it this morning it just left me feeling all out of sorts, I don't understand why there are people complaining and I really wish I did NOT read it. I think if people had complaints they should have taken them directly to customer service instead of stirring up drama.

 

What a shame after such a wonderful, and well received, update.
