This Just Doesn’t Make Sense!

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

“… a two way street to get into this mess, and a two way street to get out…”
Well, or something very close to that.
Yes, our governor just said that. I heard it. On TV.
Say … WHAT??!!
It was said in Riverside. About the housing problems and foreclosures going on these days in our lovely [...]

Tired!

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Just in case anyone out there wants to know …
I enjoyed Thanksgiving. Having all the kids home is nice, and Mel is here this time too. For t-day dinner we had Mom, Carolyn, Jessica and Raj, and Megan as well. Food was great. Company wonderful. (And leftovers plentiful.)
Yesterday the kids and I actually braved the [...]

Waterford

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I found out—always best to read that fine print!—that Bed, Bath & Beyond doesn’t accept the 20% off coupons for Waterford china. Go figure! They also don’t allow you to use them for Lenox crystal. So much for that, eh?
BUT … I found out that Amazon.com sells Kelsey’s and Mel’s pattern! (Or should that [...]

A quote from Project Runway: “… a little MOB … Mother of the Bride” … ack! Is that what folks are gonna say about me? Uh-oh … ;-)
In other news (thanks Kelsey!) … American Girl Dolls has moved into hippie land.

For Julie Albright, life after her parents’ divorce holds as many ups and downs [...]

Wedding Plans

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

It appears that Kelsey and Mel have found the place! It’s in Temecula, which is a drive away from them, at Falkner Winery. They said it was wonderful, and I’m looking forward to seeing it. I do hope I get there sometime earlier… maybe in Spring, if they need me to help with flower shopping [...]

Venues

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Sounds like Kelsey, Mel and Dan are finding better possibilities for a wedding ceremony and reception this weekend! I have a feeling I am not the best person to help do the “in person” searching. Could it be that I add extra stress? I’m guessing so.
Dan is there until Monday, and they have one [...]

Colbert and Kucinich

Seen here. Funny.

Registered!

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Kelsey and Mel have registered at Bed Bath & Beyond, although they’ve not signed up for much yet. You can see what they’ve put on so far if you go here. Unfortunately BB&B seems to be missing a lot of the China pieces at the moment. Still, if you decide you want to get them [...]

Dancing Dentistry

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

So now I have yet another reason to fear the dentist.
Fortunately mine never dances. Whew!

I’m home

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

and I’m tired.
I’m so glad this weekend worked for a trip down south! It was clearly a good idea to get down there now, so the kids could start working on their plans, and I could (I hope!) help … without being too much in the way. (I’m sure I was still a nuisance, [...]
