I wish that I hadn't gone into the school this morning because I can now add to the tales of misery!

Caroline way to sneak a !

ARGH!

What would you do with an 8 year old who loves her piano lessons, but cries when she practices if she has a little trouble?!?!

 

[lbgraves]

Angie - that is wonderful and what I cannot find - a stylist that cuts it the same everytime!!! Is that too much to ask? The girl that I used for years would only cut it 'well' every 2nd or 3rd time - very frustrating!

I know the feeling. I finally found a great stylist & she left the area. She called me today to let me know where she is now....45 minutes away. I don't think so!

 

[lbgraves]

I am very pleased with the outcome of Dancing with the Stars...

to me, when they announced the winner and what Emmitt said and how Mario and his girl were reacting and what they said spoke VOLUMES. Don't get me wrong Mario is an excellent dancer and those dimples would do me in every time, and I know they were disappointed but Emmitt was so gracious and said nothing but nice things and Mario and his girl...well...she was shrugging her shoulders and well....it just didn't sit right with me.

And wow, Emmitt's wife is gorgeous!!

She looked like she was going to cry last night! Get a grip!!! Don't go pouting like that on national TV. It might work with Mario but not with the public. I guess more people saw thru that than I thought would. Then she basically said that she didn't care what the outcome was...Mario was the best dancer to her.

Off to piano and GS! But I don't have to stay at GS now! She actually doesn't want parents right now because they are doing presents and such.

All of this wrapping meat thing has me confused. Mine come from the grocery store wrapped up already and I just throw it in the freezer. Is this a stupid thing to do? I never knew I was supposed to use freezer bags......

Becka, we buy the family packs and split them up. Most normal packs are for three people these days and it work better for DM and I to buy a pack for six and brake it up, therefore need to use the freezer bags. Normally we only buy enough for the week - 10 days.

WHOA - The sky just OPENED UP here and it is POURING!!!!

You must have the same system moving thru there. It has been pouring buckets today. I need to go get the kids at the busstop in a bit so they don't get drenched.

HAPPY BRITHDAY ​

I did have a cruise nightmare last night. Our inside room was far smaller than I expected and I started feeling claustrophobic. Then we got sick and had to stay quarantined in that little, dark room for the trip and we didn’t even know if it was night or day. I wonder if this is my subconscious trying to tell me I made a mistake by downgrading? How dark is the room with all the lights on? Will I need some additional light? I know we will need some night lights when we are sleeping but do you need more during the day? I am glad we saved money but this whole thing is obviously still making me really nervous. I knew what to expect with our previous Cat 9 room and now it is all just a mystery.

Becka....if there aren't any windows in the room to let light in....it is just as dark in an inside room during the day as it is at night.

Lisa - I would SO drive 45 minutes to a fabulous stylist!!!

 

[lbgraves]

Tarheel Born, Tarheel Bred and Tarheel when I'm dead!

I'm sorry that there is no cure for that, Brack.

 

[goofyforlife]

I'm so excited! Michael's had just what I needed and it was 50% off! Now I can get moving on making cruise goodies!!

Are you referring to the items @ 6 for $2.69? Saw them tues night at my Michaels and thought of you but wasn't sure if you had one.

 

[lbgraves]

I am SO happy! I read that Mario and Karina are coming across as very poor losers in interviews today.

That makes me even happier that they didn't win.

 

[goofyforlife]

Lisa - I would SO drive 45 minutes to a fabulous stylist!!!

Yeah and i drive 3.5 hours to mine.......

Does this mean that you're NOT bringing us all fresh pizza from the restaurant?

 

[lbgraves]

I just heard that people were killed in Wilmington, NC today by a tornado from this system. That is only 1 1/2 hours south of here.

 

[kimerinc]

Uhhh Kim...An Armadillo is an Animal that you find in Fl....Little, hard skinned, like a possum.....


When you say Texas...do you mean Amarillo?

No, I thought you could find armadillos in Texas. I had no idea they were a florida thing. Must research the armidillo (after the cruise)

 

[kimerinc]

VII. MORE ARMADILLO FACTS:
Despite its common name, the nine-banded armadillo can have as few as seven or as many as 11 bands.
Contrary to popular belief, the armadillo does not curl up into ball when threatened.
The armadillo is the state mammal of Texas.

Well, how thoughtful Marielle, now I don't have to research it after all. Thanks for looking that up~

Glad to take "armadillo research" off your to-do list.
