Jen ~ We are in the same boat. We would like to buy about 15-20 acres in the country, but you can't find it around here. No one wants to sell land, so we decided to build and live in the "burbs" until we find something.

Hey, does anyone know what the points value for chicken fried rice would be? BF and I are having Chinese for dinner tonight and that's what I really want.

Tanya--Your house looks gorgeous!! And I definitely envy the 8-person jacuzzi!!

OK, I gotta get this thing finished ASAP.... I'll check back.

Hi girls! I know everyone's probably gone home for the day, but I wanted to say hi anyway. I feel like I've been really busy today, although I haven't really done anything! I had to get some materials ready for a seminar I'm going to next month, I had a meeting for our upcoming high school journalism workshop, I had to figure out how I'm going to fix my car. I had the windshield replaced last week and it's been leaking, so I have to get it replaced again. I have to get the driver's seat welded to the floor so it'll pass inspection! It's driving me insane!

I was going to just go ahead and buy a new car, but I was stressing myself out about it way too much. And I realized I just couldn't do it in two weeks. I can't make big decisions that quickly! Plus, when I started talking money with two different car salesmen,they were jerks with me. I swear, why is it some salesmen think they can be that way when women are buying things? Happened last time I bought a car, too. I bet if my BF had been there they wouldn't have been that way. It really ticks me off. I knew more about the car then one of the salesmen, and he had the nerve to still be condescending to me! So I'm regrouping and going out again.

Well, I better get going and either work late here, or take it home. Although with my sister now living with me, and three dogs in the house, it makes it hard to concentrate there!

But I gotta get out of this office!
