Jon, we were 10 years or so ago with a telephone provider which sold me a 2 year plan, but the phone stopped working after 1 year. When I cancelled, they kept charging me until I got the NY state attorney general involved. And there were those ridiculous charges and fees which we thoroughly hated. Tracphone became for us freedom. It was so bad to become a slave to phone calling which should be so unimportant in life. Good that you got a good deal, but watch out they will try to get you again! Imagine, some families have a bill of over $200 for cell phones per month, looks like full slavery to me (only my personal opinion). Bernd

Another alternative would be your cell phone. (Use mine to catch shots when regular camera isn't handy.) If you have a cell w/camera, some newer ones in recent years take some pretty decent photos. Just need a cord to attach phone to PC. Hopefully it's standard mini USB connection on the phone, you can pick those up at office supply, Radio Shack, Target, think Walgreens, probably about any place, for $12 or so. (Avoid cellular dealer if possible, they charge a lot more on some accessories.) Upload to your computer and save. Then open a freebie Pbucket account and upload from your computer to Pbucket. If it takes grainy shots, tho (like my DH's cell), I'd use one of methods mentioned above.

Luvs, thanks for the laugh this morning. I sure needed it. You're a funny girl. I think you shouldn't have deleted it, but gave us a sneek preview of it. We wouldn't have been laughing at you (much), but with you. ha My child did not go to sleep until 1:30 this morning!! Ugh I'm so dragging booty today. It's raining here anyway, so I guess I'll just do some cleaning and laundry. My favorite things in life! NOT! My house has gone downhill from me being sick. And starting tomorrow I have to help my 6th grader build a castle from a cardboard box. Sure wish I had kennebunker living next door! ha Guess my painting will be put on the side for a few days. Bummer. The rest of you better take up the slack so I have lots to read and look at when I get back. :) ~Anj

The room is darling. It brings back memories of my 2 DD who are 24 and 26 now. We had a low table and chairs also. Sometimes they were in the bedroom, sometimes in the middle of the kitchen. So many fun activities and memories. When the girls were in grade school, they shared a bathroom, so I got 2 nice, large mirrors and made a "vanity" for each of them in their bedroom. A little older, hair dryers were added, then in middle school they wanted to do their own hair sometimes, so I gave them their own curling irons. The vanities really helped keep the bathroom open. I also had a bookcase for each of them to keep her favorite books. Owning books is so important for kids. I have a suggestion if you keep the curtains long and tie them back. It would be fun to tie them back with 3 different colored extra wide grogain ribbons with long tails to match the pillows on the beds and rugs you choose. For the rugs, consider getting some that are easy to wash in your own washer. I got some that had to be washed in a commercial washer and it was way to much bother. It seemed like there was constant spills or something on them that needed to be washed out. And we had pets and one of the rugs turned into a favorite place for all sorts of accidents, so, end of rugs. Have fun with the decorating. Rachel
