Re: AW/Chit-Chat Thursday

  • 9 am again before this shiznit gets started.

    We are just a bunch of duds this week.

  • I have more skillz than my DH.    I installed new faucets in our bathrooms AND put in a new door frame.  All.By.Myself.

    Impressive.

  • Sorry for the double post. I just thought of a question.

    How do you ladies keep your costume jewelery, I.e., earrings, necklaces, bracelets, from tarnishing and turning color? I'm talking the cheap stuff you buy at Target, Express, Forever 21.

    I used to have one of those earring carosels but I noticed yesterday a pair of silver earrings I have only had about 2-3 months already tarnished/rusted before I got to wear them!! I think they were from Target. Now granted this stuff isn't expensive, but it's not made to be disposable either!

    I've heard ziplock bags, I've heard clear glossy spray paint. Thoughts?

  • I went to the Knottie G2G last night.  Went by on my way home... and I felt so out of place since I was the only married one.  It kind of hurt my heart a little.

    Awesome!

    I was going to start the thread this morning when I first got on, but I couldn't remember what today was supposed to be.  I'm old.  I came back and was going to start a thread called: Whatever today is supposed to be.  Big Smile

  • I vote Thursday to be "Whatever Thursday" going forward. Haha.

    How was it, Brianna?   Will you be attending more?

  • That was my last Knottie one
  • Also, some of you readers would be proud.  My parents have been bugging me about what to get me for my birthday so I asked for a Kindle.

    I'm bummed that I'm done with "The Help".   I think I might read "Heaven is for Real" next.

    I thought the shooting at Wal-mart was a little too close to home! It is right down Preston from me!  We never used to have any murders in Frisco and this is number two this year alone!

    That's pretty scary!

  • We got DVR last Monday (I forgot last week).  It feels a little weird to not watch things live but now I'm not missing everything now.

    The party/gift that got thrown in my lap last week is tonight so I'm glad that it's nearly over.

    :( I liked having you there, but I understand too.

    I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

    You come to ours!  :)

  • It's already Thursday!  I woke up this morning thinking it was Wednesday but my day suddenly got better when I realized it was Thursday! 

    SD slept much better last night so I'm not tired today. 

    Mavs play tonight and we are going to watch it with some friends.  They better win tonight!  We can't come home down 2!

    I'm not even sure I would know half the girls that were there.

    Yes   I remember beating DH at putting new door knobs in.

    Possibly getting a kindle?  How nice!

    Yep, I'm still not sold on the whole digital book thing...BUT it would definitely be more incognito for me to read at work with a flat device rather than holding up a book.

    Haha - yes.  I have put a kindle on my birthday list.  If you get one, you'll have to let me know if you love it.  :)

  • Nice job Tiffany!

    Summer, let me know when you find out what works!  My cheap jewelry does that too!  I've heard about the clear nail polish on stuff but I always forget to try it until it's too late.

    Brianna, I kind of felt that way at the G2G I went to because I was the only married one there too!

  • My AW:  Ben's parents are giving us their old Honda for Melodie.  Well, we're buying it, but for next to nothing.  We were planning to get her a 2012 Hyundai.  So they essentially saved us about $17K.  Which means we can definitely take a small vacation this year. 

     Ben just emailed me and said In N Out is coming to Rockwall in 2012.

    That is great news!!!   In light of this new information, where are you guys thinking of going?

  • The only AW I have is that I finally started P90X over again yesterday.  I am just sore today and had to do all my pushups on my knees yesterday :-(

    I wasn't either but Bill really wanted one.  However, I borrowed it over the summer and loved it.  I could have access to a whole lot of books and only had to carry around that slim little thing.
