And if you're not a Mom, I sent my wishes on to your family for a happy day nonetheless. Yes, I came down from the ladder - DH took me to Forbidden Kingdom yesterday. Relaxing. Today I paint the living room ceiling, finish the white base coat on my last wall (this is taking forever moving furniture around) and Monday start the colour. Going to take a piece of the fabric I'm making the curtains with to the paint store to match the wall paint tone - heck I've come this far might as well get the colour right. Stopped in at the Lazyboy store yesterday - we ordered a new couch (recliners on either end) and a new oversized giant recliner for Dave (6'3"). It has a great feature of extended leg rest you can push out with your foot so your feet don't over hang. These are do in a couple of weeks which hopefully works out for all of my old furniture around here that is spoken for and due to leave about the same time - otherwise the stuff can get introduced to the back garden shed. No love lost there! Finally getting our first living room furniture that's not hand-me-down. Only took 15 years but that's okay. At least it's cash and not on credit. Wonderful to see everyone is enjoying their families this weekend! Today is clean the fridge day, grocery shopping later. So I am thinking of what can I get myself for this week. Need to also start digging in the freezer to see what we have in there for meal planning. I keep forgetting. With food prices rising, I'm getting more and more fussy on portion sizes (less waste), quality and buying what we really eat and not stuff we might eat. I don't know how folk manage raising families these days. So expensive. Also have to think of packing lunches this week since I start my seasonal job of planting business/hotel garden beds. Need to pack lots of water. If ya hear me moaning next weekend about muscles I forgot I own this will be the reason behind it...I should dig out my bubble bath stuff too for this week! Enjoy your day today. Think ahead. I see apples in the fridge that need cooking (mmmmmmm), carrots and sugar free jello for later this week. Good week to get my single serving containers out to make my treats. Gotta get working on a new mini weight goal! Cheers, Peggy

The current watchword is paranoia. Or just because you're paranoid doesn't meant they're not out to get you. :) Yeah they got the right person out. The one thing that can not be tolerated and worked with is instability. Obnoxious, lying, backstabbing, yes. That becomes a big ol' game of B---S---, and same as with cards, it's about reading people and working people. With someone like Kass, however, who can be quiet and subtle or totally unpredictable, it's like playing with a handful of sand. Ciara (sp?) for all that Andrew thought she was dangerous, is so completely transparent, she's not that much of a threat. She went frontal assault with her whoppers, rather than dropping bits and pieces for others to pick up. I would have loved to see someone like Kass win, just because it would have been a hoot, but I don't blame them for booting her. She didn't learn her lesson. It's not just feeling trustworthy. It's making everyone else believe you're trustworthy. In a game of deception.

I forgot how much I like Tony till last night! LOL The extortion note was fantastic! Happy with who left as well. I wonder which 2 people got their token back - he won 2 but he borrowed 3 right? It's so much more interesting when someone switches sides... but if they would really stick together, they could just wipe the others out. It rarely happens though. But it makes for boring TV so I'm glad you get someone like Tony who seemingly out of the blue just comes up with a new plan - and then it works!

ded, that was happening to me, but resolved when I shut down and restarted my laptop.
