I think she was going for 1998, 2007 and last year. Those were all good ones.

... and 2009 looks as though it too will be an excellent year ....

FlorenceArt · 10-13-2009, 12:09 PM

Please don't mention Christmas, I am slowly recovering from the last one. And the eleventy birthdays my family seems intent on cramming into one single month: October

I just ordered my Dad's present at Amazon. I'm not sure at all he will like it but then I can just take it back for myself

Now let's find a rich husband - or let's make boyfriend rich, whatever's easier...

What? The fact that I'm already grown up can't prevent me from dreaming, now, can't it?

Lazy Scot, why exactly is the building shaking so much?

Cat, honey, this has been my career aspiration ever since high school. Unfortunately, I never found the secret to making boyfriend/husband rich enough so I could.

I proved so positive for that I broke their equipment...

Erk. I hope it stops soon - I know how annoying that is!

Why not just be rich yourself? Simpler

It sounds as though they found a productive way of keeping warm on cold January nights.

Meh, I know, I know... the thing is, whenever a guy teases me for my traditional tastes, I bite his head off and chew it to purée, so beware...

Incidentally, I make my stew exactly the same as you do it, but add fresh herbs (basil, parsley, thyme and oregano).

That would imply personal involment. I'd rather be a cheerleader!

I've been a bad, bad girl.

The AAUW had their booksale this week. I went yesterday and only got a few books. Then when I told my two coworkers about it they wanted to go.

I filled an entire bag

Today (and yesterday) was half price day, so paperbacks were 10-25 cents each. Tomorrow is bag day ($5 a bag), and I'm looking at my bag thinking, hrmm, maybe I should have waited until tomorrow...

I got around 20 books, and only paid $4.75. I do prefer reading ebooks, but geez, who can beat that price?

Don't you stop being bad! Go back tomorrow!
Rummaging through the books must be so fun, enjoy it!
