Yummy to my tummy! I did good when I bought groceries this morning. I went before I ate and everything was looking good to me. But I didn't buy any junk and am proud for not doing so. (((((HUGS))))) to you and Rachel. 
What the heck was that person (visitor) thinking? I know she was probably checking to make sure Rach was at school but...hope she wasn't embarrassed or anything. But then she did call you to come home so I know it made her feel bad, poor thing. Glad you told the visitor what's up. Don't think I could deal with surprise visits either.
And THANK YOU! That means a lot to me. 
You are definitely going to have to share pix of what you are doing to your house! I love all the colors you have chosen-it sounds so pretty. And I know it is because I saw the pictures before and it was nice. Well, about the new house...I am trying not to get too excited for fear of losing it, easier said than done though. We are planning some things, such as paint colors. And I have been trying to figure out what to do for window coverings. The boys rooms are easy, as ar the baths. It's the living room, dining area and kitchen I'm not sure about. We want to do the same green we did here, (green bough) in the living room and dining area. But then it gets tricky. The kitchen is curver, which I love and the breakfast nook is open to the living room. Well, I want yellow in the kitchen, it's actually a gold color. But I am afraid it will clash with the living room/dining area. And where to start with one color and end with it. The kitchen nook is open to the living room but is divided by the basement stairs. We are doing sage in the master bath though. I wanted it in the master bedroom but it is just off the living room and if the door is always open I am afraid it will just look horrible. I don't want it to seem like an extension of the living room. So, we are going to do a soft, creamy beige in there. Ah, decisions, decisions. Anyway...the house is a yellow ranch style with almost 1,500 sq. ft. on the main floor. Has a triple garage which V loves! Has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen w/nook (so no more eating at the counter), living room/dining area combo. Corner fireplace in the lr with a big picture window also that looks out the big backyard. The lot is 66x217 and backs up to horse pasture. The front yard has been sodded so we will seed the back and have to build a fence. And of course plant some trees and shrubs. We want to do an Asian type garden complete with pond, Buddha and a pagoda across the whole back length of the fence...have something pretty to look at when I am on the deck, in the backyard or just looking out the living room window. Another reason i don't know what kind of window coverings to go with because I don't want the view spoiled or closed. Let's see...Has tile floors in the kitchen, entry, laundry room and both baths. I will actually have a laundry room instead of a laundry closet like here. The master bath has a corner jacuzzi tub-to die for! Has a full basement and DD wants the bedroom down there, it's almost the size of the master. It is framed in and they already put one wall separating the bedroom from the family room. it is plumbed for a bathroom too. There will be a bedroom, bathroom, family room, office and a huge walk-in closet for storage. It is curved like the kitchen so the way it is, there could be another bedroom but we plan on using it for an exercise room and the very back of it will be storage. You know for my christmas decorations and stuff like that. It's in a subdivision but on the outskirts of town, about 3 miles from where we are now, same town. Now all we need to do is get this house sold so we can get moving! keep your fingers crossed! 
Will post some pics of it later. V took some of that house and another so we could decide which one wanted. i really wanted the green one across the street but the neighbors have three big dogs that barked everytime we went out back to look. Thought it would be a problem with Ernie because he would be sniffing and barking right back at them. IT would never stop!
Anyway, he also loved playing Gloria by the Rolling Stones, Wipe out and anything from the Eagles. Those were some of the songs he played when he was in a band. Ah, those were the days...so many good memories. Anyway, My sister also loved that song...Julie, Julie, Julie do ya love me, Julie, Julie, Julie do ya care...her name is Julie Ann. Anyway...sorry you had a rough, stressful day at work. hey, love Mr. Jingles...think it is cute! Salem is cute too. One day I am going to get another dog and it's name will be either Ginger or Cocoa. I have had those names picked for years. While living in CA I have wanted a little dog, OMG, can't remember what those little rat dogs are....anyway, those are the names I had picked out. But then we started looking for one and the prices were anywhere from $300 up to $1000! 
I was wanting a pet, not a stinking show dog. Needless to say, I never got one. 
But then those names were for a girl. Thinking maybe Sam or Max if I get a boy. I am so jealous...I can't believe you guys have capri wearing weather. 
Went to wally world this morning and almost froze my booty off! If only it were that easy. It is sooo cold, brrrrr! And it was snowing a little. Tired of this gloomy weather. Send some of that weather you guys are having here, please.
Maybe Rachel will be better off at the alternative school...does she want to go? I can only imagine what is going on with her. You know kids have their own troubles and sometimes they can't express it like they want to, or at all so they hold it in. Just want to give her and you bunches of ((((HUGS)))). Okay, gone on long enough. 
Thanks for the info on the trilogy. I knew you'd know what I was talking about. I too love the Barbara Jean character on Reba - she cracks me up!! Food porn is reading about foods that make you salivate and/or want to cheat on your diet. Bad, bad, bad. Tee hee. (and that's with a fender on!!)
