Hey there-
All done with the yard - for today! Yikes! My body is talking to me! It just felt really good to get out there and get dirty. After being with the little kids all week, I needed some serious exercise. My yard is all mulched and weeded and just looks great. Trouble is... the more time I spend in it, the more I see that I want to do. Sigh. It's a 9500 Sq. Ft. lot and the house is small, so that's alot o' yard. I have to tie myself to a chair to keep me out of the nurseries....too spendy
Katie - so glad you are feeling beter today. It's going to be a huge weight off your mind to have that warranty. I hate having car problems with a passion. With us, we don't have cars that break down, but my lovely DH drives like a bat out of he** and has a bad track record with his cars. Keeps getting rear-ended. He also insists on having a CD player in his car, and he's a high school teacher at an inner-city school. So guess what? They keep getting stolen! So a warranty doesn't really help us all that much.... but, boy are we glad we are insured, lol
Christi - another mom at VBS just bought a new Honda Pilot and it is a nice looking SUV. I'm not an SUV person, but this one almost converted me. We would still have a Honda for our family car, but we really need a wagon since we like to camp. If Honda made a wagon we'd be all over it. We made a major car purchase a year ago. We had a 92 Accord that we loved, but it was just too small for camping with two kids. Here's the scenario....Neither of us wants an SUV. DH wants a minivan - I want a wagon. We do the research and narrow down the choices to a Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey, and Subaru Outback. I didn't want a van but was willing to test drive. Well, I loved the Odyssey! That soccermom in me was rarin' to go in that thing...but our budget definitely did not like the Odyssey. My fave car was the Outback, and that's what we ended up with. I highly recommend it. It's a very reliable car, affordable and if you don't want an SUV but need the space, they are great. we bought it 1.5 yr's used, so it was still on a manufacturer warranty - haven't had to use it.
Marti - I hate going into restaurants that have no greens on the menu. Ugh. You made some good choices.....MIL wants to take us out to celebrate my birthday/anniversary/end of school - we'll probably end up at Izzy's 'cause there'll be something for everybody. I'm mentally preparing myself now...all you can eat places are tough - I want it all! My body thinks it's never going to get another meal or something....aargh!
Jana - I really like your new picture. If the contacts don't work, frameless glasses are a good option. If you can still get to my pictures I posted, I believe I'm wearing mine in them. I wore chunky frames for along time and after while, I felt like i was hiding behind them. The lighter ones barely feel like they are on my face. As far as a get together goes - Orgeon would be fun! I mean we have the Pacific Ocean, you know. And all our beaches are public - Can't say that about CA! Speaking about something in between - we ought to have a cowgirl weekend on a dude ranch in Montana or something like that. Or maybe a spa in Arizona or New Mexico in the winter when the weather is really dismal where we live..... oh, the ideas just keep coming... somebody stop me!
oops - out of time. Hello to everyone else, hope the weekend is going well for everyone
