Congrats Smurfy! That''s great news.


My kids (first grade students) were HIGH as kites this afternoon because of our our Valentine''s Day party. The funny thing is that they each got ONE little cookie, so it''s not like they had eaten a ton of sugar. I was wiped after school got out.

It''s SNOWING (for real, not just a flurry) here in southern NC. I''m so excited -- I''m almost giddy!

Got a little carried away at the Calico Corners Outlet store... where I was able to use a 25% coupon on top of their in-store discount for some stuff and some crazy low prices... but it still adds up!

$6.00 a yard for some gorgeous, substantial, 100% linen in a beautiful bright red! Two years ago was absolutely lusting over (among other things) the pure linen kitchen towels in the apartment we stayed in during our vacation in Paris. I finally get to have some for my kitchen!

Our dinner plans at some friend''s house was cancelled due to the weather. Some other friends were headed to the brew pub in the town where we live so we met them there. At 415. We ended up hitting two other restaurants after that. A Spanish tapas restaurant to try it out a bit and then the local pub in the village a few blocks from our house. We did an unintentional pub crawl or sorts and it was great! And I''m home at 830. Not that a late night would have been a bad thing, but it''s cold and the melting snow is re-freezing.

Sorry your plans had to be cancelled, Luckyeshe! Hope you and your FI can reschedule soon.

Thanks, MC. He''s gonna come down here instead in March, but this would have been our first V-day together and we were so looking forward to it. This should get him to speed up finishing his doctorate since we don''t want to be going thru this after we''re married....

I just wanto to say: Cold weather is the pitts. The older I get, the more I hate it. We''ve had snow and below freezing temps and I''ve stayed in the house for over a week {except my Valentines dinner earlier tonite}. Spring can''t come fast enough.

There were managers who respect the job as a regular "restaurant manager" and then there were those like "Jimbo". He is a manager there, just to say he is a "Manager of Hooters". He hasn''t changed, but luckily he was only the assistant at my store (2003-2004), and only a handful of times was he the only manager on shift. Guess he moved up...

Total creep though.

I drank an entire bottle of champagne tonight. By myself.

I don''t feel the least bit guilty. Especially since I also cooked a kick a$$ dinner for my husband and I, including shrimp cocktail as an appetizer...yum!

Are you not hearing from them on weekends? If it's been 5 days, then that means you wrote them on Thursday(???). I would imagine that is pretty standard across the entire wedding industry. It can be very annoying not to have your questions answered, but wedding vendors typically work almost every weekend, and once your day comes, you are going to want all of their attention on your day and the few leading up.

Maybe try and send an email or call Monday/Tuesday mornings to ask your questions? You might have a better chance that they have time to respond.

If that isn't the case, then I am very sorry you are having to deal with this.

I soooo should not be eating these two slices of pizza.


I had a coworker point out today that the swimsuits are out at Target already. I glared at hime and said, "E, I''m a bear. I''m hairy, fat, and not used to the sun. Do you think bears really want to hear about swimsuits, or do they want to be happy, fat, and sleeping right now? I''m a BEAR!"

I''m so tired of unwarranted advice. If I want to know your opinion I''ll ask it; but if you force it on me you''re just asking for trouble...

I''m watching the Hayley Mills version of The Parent Trap and it makes me sad that most people my age think the Lindsay Lohan version is the original.

This version is so much better!

20 minutes late is just bad for a pizza company that is literally 3 blocks away. we ordered through them to avoid other pizza company that kept screwing up...guess we will switch to a local place and hope they dont screw up either

eta: 20 mins late has now turned to 70 minutes after I originally ordered and we have company coming in 20 minutes...what are we supposed to do? eat in front of them? we only got enough for DH and I to eat, ugh
