We got tons of rain and the trees iced up (very pretty), but the roads never got icy. We do have flood watch today and lots of limbs are down, so the kids have a "snow" day today. I was supposed to go to a conference in Albany, but they got the ice and all the schools are closed up there so I decided to cancel my conference reservation and I am making this a long weekend. Hopefully I will make my cards this weekend and send out early next week. I still need to think of a design concept. I have lots of ideas rolling around in my brain, I just have to pick one!
Betsy~Did Mike get home ok?
DU~ I don't think you shared the depends story, because I am sure I would have remembered that one!

I agree no point in paying more for something that is just causing you more aggrevation!

Reminds me of DH's health insurance this year. We had to decide which plan we were going to use by November 15....but they couldn't tell us what our share of the premium would be.

Talk about frustrating!!! We just stayed with all the plans (health, dental and vision) we already had because they work well for us. A few weeks later we found out no raise in our share of premiums, but also no raises this year!
Sewer ~ 1,000 posts ~ about time!!!!! You joined a month before me and look at my post count...you must have a more interesting life than I do!
SWTD ~ I didn't know you were from the Northwest. I really want to visit your area of the country. We have a good friend from Seattle, who is transplanted here. He helped my DH coach a little league softball team. We palyed in the pooring rain one game. The girls were soaked and he said "hey they are soaked already lets keep playing." All of us upstate NYers were like

. We played the whole game, the girls had an absolute blast. It was a game I will never forget! He explained that your rain is like our snow, you go out and play in it and just come back in and change when your clothes get too wet. He also said that he never had an umbrella when he lived there cause what was the point.
Ann~ we don't say y'all here (see where I place the apostophe

) My oldest daughter uses it all t time tho. WHen she was in middle school she went to a leadership conference in Washington DC. There were lots of southerners there and she just picked it up.
Robin~ That coke thing cracks me up too! We went to visit friends who moved from here to Indiana, they warded us that if we wanted orange soda we had to order orange coke. So if you actually want coke do you have to order coke coke?

We just say soda here.
I have most, but not all of your addresses I think I need SWTD, Brenda and Norton's. PM me if you want a card!
