    I'm going to switch them out for these:

    I have some that look similar.  :)

  • Both of those are Corelle...I love my Corelles! I can't tell you how many times I've dropped my plates...

    Now I wish I had thought of that. Your plates are Sango and I've lost and or chip a few in just over a year.  

  • I bought it!  Ah, retail therapy.

    Yeah, Corelles are really good at being strong. They always feel durable, wash very well and are cheap! A service for four with dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs run roughly $30.

    And if you need a replacement for some reason, Walmart usually carries them.

    Kasa: I didn't go to my 10yr reunion. I went to my 5 and all the questions people asked were "Are you married? Do you have any kids?" I think all wait and see if they have a 25 and then maybe I go. Also where did you find the coat? I think I want one now.

    My school didn't do a five year reunion. 

    The coat is from ModCloth.  I found a coupon code that saved me $5 (yay!) if you do decide to order it.

    Those are Corelle? I never would have guessed. My experiences with Corelle have been decades-old sets belonging to various mothers/aunts/grandmas...and they look decades-old too. Your designs are very chic!

    When I married, I registered for another pattern of dishes so I'd have a more formal set. But I never have a need for formal dishes, so I'm going to switch out patterns just because I can.

    Currently, I'm using these:

    Thank you! I happen to love love love both of my patterns :)

    It's a powerful drug. :) The world was shiny happy for me when I placed an order for some shelving to use in our basement storage room! Even without having it yet, knowing that organization is coming to my bottomless pit of a basement makes me h-a-p-p-y.

     

     

    So then I bought some stuff at Victoria's Secret to round out the experience. LOL!

    I've never used them before, but aren't they just so fun and different?

    I love looking at modcloth, I've never bought mainly because I'm not sure if they would fit me that well. They seem on the small side and I've got more cuvry than small. Have you looked at ShopRuche.com? 

  • imageKasa:

    Yes

    That was quick and easy!  Too bad vacation planning can't be the same. 

  • Amaretto: We have square plates/bowls/glasses too.  I think they're fun. 

    GRKaters: Shopping + organization = awesome therapy.  Have fun!

    Deeder: This is the first time I've ordered anything from ModCloth.  We'll see how it goes.  I haven't been to ShopRuche.  I'll check it out.  Thanks!

    Molly: Ha... yeah, in the past year, vacation planning has gone to being tons of fun to being a miserable experience.

     

  • I have *no clue* how I am going to blow up the balloons for T's party.  H seems to think it will work itself out.  Ummm....ok.  Huh?

    Can you rent a small helium tank for the day?  I think rental companies might do this.

    Cute stuff!  I'm saving that site.  And now I'm tempted to buy a pair of shoes that they have on sale...

    I checked Redi Rental.  Nothing.  And I can't think of any other rental companies - drawing a blank.

  • I found a tank.  For $95.  Surprise
  • Sweet.  Party City will fill them.  .59 cents for small and .99 for large.  Score.
  • Ok.  Sorry about the play by play. 

    I found a tank and it's free.  Yay.  My uncle works for the company that quoted me $95.  He said he will just bring one home tonight and I can pick it up tomorrow.  I should have just called him first like my mom's been telling me for weeks. 

  • I had Taco Bell for lunch and I don't feel the least bit guilty.  It was amazingly delicious.  I don't remember the last time I had Taco Bell.

    What did you get?  I went there a couple weeks ago.  :)

    I had Subway for lunch.  I thought the gift card I had was for $10, but it was actually for $5 so I had to put .34 cents on my debit card.  Whoops.

    Baja Chalupa and a 5 layer Burrito.   Yum.

    I was **thisclose** to going there today, too. Opted for Jimmy John's instead. :) 

     

  • Ok, thank you everyone for your responses.  As you can see I deleted the post and the children - perhaps out of paranoia but also since I was airing someone else's info out there.  I seriously appreciate all of the feedback though, I haven't made a decision yet.

    Sheesh, I feel like there have been some random stressers and downers happening lately in my life.  I may have to request a GNO soon. ;-)

    I could go for a GNO.  I haven't been to one since the big one at Kristen's house a loooooong time ago.
