Yes, Marianne - a lot of the posts were hard for me to read, too. I tried to be diplomatic. If you haven't been there, though, it's awfully hard to know what really goes on. (ie. if you haven't made the choices/sacrifices we've made).<BR/><BR/>Glad Nano is going well!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-46605015637290519602007-11-05T04:32:00.000-05:002007-11-05T04:32:00.000-05:00I'm amazed at how long DD will play "Cat's Cradle"...I'm amazed at how long DD will play "Cat's Cradle"... shh... don't tell her, but sometimes I mess up on purpose just to call "game over"!<BR/><BR/>And, Charity, that's so cool about the knitting. I used to finger knit all the time, even made a big rug for my room. I don't enjoy regular knitting though -- it's too time consuming. I DO crochet, though, and DD is learning to, as well.Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-84641579922965063632007-11-04T22:09:00.000-05:002007-11-04T22:09:00.000-05:00Sounds like you were able to get some writing acco...Sounds like you were able to get some writing accomplished after all, WTG!<BR/>I hope the rest of the day continued on as well!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-6687950401041397992007-11-04T19:44:00.000-05:002007-11-04T19:44:00.000-05:00Hmmm ... yarn is big around here.

It looks extremely fun.<BR/><BR/><I>What My Bathroom Habits Say About Me<BR/><BR/>You are a very considerate person, but that doesn't mean you let people walk all over you.<BR/><BR/>You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style.<BR/><BR/>You are a little shy and easily embarrassed. You often wonder if you are normal.<BR/><BR/>In relationships, you tend to take care of your needs first. You can only be with someone who's as independent as you are.</I><BR/><BR/>LOL! Yeah, trendy dresser. That's me.

Hoping to make up the words from yesterday too.<BR/><BR/>BTW, try using some of that pumpkin by making pumpkin milkshakes. They are soooo yummy!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the words!Melissa McClonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16715664439441831529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-79203135464717285852007-11-04T09:59:00.000-05:002007-11-04T09:59:00.000-05:00I rarely see kids playing with yarns like I did wh...I rarely see kids playing with yarns like I did when I was younger. I use to love creating hand things with the yarn. <BR/><BR/>My bathroom habits says:<BR/><I>You are a very considerate person, but that doesn't mean you let people walk all over you.<BR/><BR/>Your look is put together, classic, and stylish. You always look fashionable without trying.<BR/><BR/>You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it.<BR/><BR/>In relationships, you tend to be very romantic and demanding. You'll treat your partner like gold, but you expect a lot in return. </I><BR/><BR/>yeah...700 words this morning and I'm sure you reach your daily word count goal.
