Sassy --that's great about the Honda plant coming--here's hoping you and your DH can get on there!!
Katie--I prefer the plain chai teas and added honey too--I have tried a couple of different blends and there are some I like and some I don't. Don't have a local Starbucks but they do have a small area coffee house chain called "The Daily Grind" and I love my chai lattes.
Glad to see you back and posting, hope it means your feeling better. With the kids gone I don't have as much laundry--a load of my work clotehs, his work clothes, the misc clothes I can mix together, whites--gosh--sometimes I don't have a full load of them unless I add towels in, and the bed sheets and comfortor every other week. DD comes home and does hers once in awhile. But at size 1-3 her clothes are so tiny that it's like only one load!! Happy B-day to Tim!!
Marti--it's funny you say about hot pink Alicia's fave and current) and black (Ryan's current now that DD removed all the rubber ducky stuff to put up in her place) Ryan has his hodge podge of furnishhings in the living room is browns & tans--Alicia's roomate owns the furniture at her place, Ryan didn't have much kitchen stuff & bathroom stuff, but Alicia provided all the kitchen stuff at her apartment so it's going to work out. DS has a storage garage as part if the rent which they will keep some of her stuff in until the next move if they can't get a place August 1. DD had a lot of pans, pots, bakeware, plates & cups so she is leaving half of her stuff for DS until Alicia officially moves in. DD & DS's stuff blended really well together and really filled his apartment--now that her stuff is mostly packed I forgot how unclutterred DS's apartment was--which is what he likes--easier to clean when you don't have to move knick knacks. He decorates with plants--has a real green thumb. They are really hoping for a call back on the rental house they want. They filled out all the paperwork and the landlord seemed to like them. Ryan has always been a charmer and can talk to anyone and Alicia is so sweet.
Alex--the place looks so nice. It's funny when we moved into our place my DS was given choice of rooms and he picked the smaller room because it had blue curtains and the bigger room had pink ones!!!
Sue--The girls did switch the coral to one called apricot lily. DD and I almost finished the living room in the apricot lily but ran out of paint--so irritatting since we were almost done!! It's okay though because we needed another gallon anyway to touch up the dining/computer room and DD wants to use it for some accents in the kitchen--matches well with some of the grapes and leaves in the border. Also nice to have a little for touch ups while moving in everything. DD was upset because one of the roommates friends helped paint--he is quick but very sloppy with the trim--she wanted to take her time and do it all herself or have me help. I had primered the room in white and he didn't edge it just rolled on the blue and got it allover the window sills, door and moulding---the only wall that doesn't need touched up is the one that she did. She also did the bathroom herself (except for the border), but there is nothing to be touched up there either, We will have to touch the moulding, window frames and doors up some in all the other rooms.
Jane--I think I am safe if they do lay off--hubby is the machinist there and can make some of the parts that can't be ordered anymore for the old machines and actually even makes so that can at a significant saving to the company. He has a gift that he is very humble about, but he can fix almost anything yo put in front of him. Not to say that I slouch--I get very high marks on my evaluations and have been told several times that the two hardest people to replace in our area would be me and the lady that is out on medical.
Robin--hope you survived all those kids!!
Connie & Michelle ma belle--hope both of you are well!!
Kimberly--where's my local girl been??
Mindee--you need to bring the kids home from the park and post!!
Angelia--where are you!! did you find some mountie to help you on a new project at your house??? What would Monte say.....
Sorry I if I have missed anyone!! Off to the DMV to renew DH's motorcycle registration so we can maybe ride some this weekend!! to the grocery store, the library and back to DD's to help do the touch ups and move some of the small stuff. Big stuff is coming tonight!! Then the arranging will begin, but she has to do that herself, she is very organized and likes things placed so they are both functional and pleasing to the eye.
--Jane--I am not sure if she is putting Johnny back up on the wall--she is hanging her Van Gogh's "Starry Night" print that will look awesome with the blue color she painted, her board that has the ribbons to slip pictures in and saving a spot for a print of Bermuda that I am getting framed for her.
Its not going to be built until 08' and open by 09', but unless something happens, hub and I both plan on applying there too! Its going to be SO wonderful for that area! 
Sorry...I didn't get back to you on the dusting, but I will get back to you next time I have the cleaner out. (yeah, right..I am already tired of all this cleaning) 
The housework has already left me in the dust. LOL, literally in the dust bunnies... 
Yes I definately think the new Honda plant in my moms town is going to be wonderful for that area. 
Makes you feel good, doesn't it? I know I feel a lot better about myself now that I'm back on track.
I started drinking this coffeemate that's vanilla chai. Good stuff. Now, I hate being on a waiting list for going home! Where I work, hardly ever do we get to go home. Unless you're like me and they just can't stand to hear me whine and beg for full 8hrs!
