Re: Friday randoms
LOVE!
If I liked someone of the opposite political leaning (such as Amash), I would have to also make a post for all of my friends explaining why or I'd get a rash of unfriendly responses.
Okay, good!
Do you have bone-in chicken breasts? If they are boneless, I might check it after three hours.
Information overload, Molly?
Yes! Too many options, and I have forgotten how to find the ones I was interested in. I guess I should learn how to use Excel!
Ahem... might I suggest a spreadsheet?
ygm
Will you let us know how this turns out? How easy!! And I have heard such good things about 40 clove chicken, just never made it.
When I'm looking at rentals like that, Molly, I'll open a new window and when I have 10ish windows open, I'll start eliminating. I'll get down to maybe the top 5 or so and then keep opening up new windows, repeating the process until I've gone through the list.
This isn't quite as organized as a spreadsheet, but it forces me to make "real time" decisions. Once I get through all of the options, I'll take the top three or five and put those in a spreadsheet for L's review. He won't review or approve anything not in spreadsheet form.
Since we've had some cons to the kid list today, I'd like to add some pros.
1. Mere said to me, unsolicited, "I wuv you, Mama." *heart melt*
2. I get to buy fun toys and play again.
Our latest obsession: Calico Critters. She loves them and so do I!
I did use a similar approach to this when searching for our Hawaii rental. There was no spreadsheet involved, because I ended up finding one that I really liked and B liked it too.
We made a decision without a spreadsheet.
Mere is super cute and I love your stories about her. She sounds really smart.
I enjoy your Mere stories and photos. She sounds like such a neat kid!
Someone on the D&R board posted about a Pottery Barn knock-off style table re-do that IMO looks terrible. It looks like an old 90's piece of furniture, not some high end look alike. Everyone that responded is all: Looks Awesome!, Great Job!. Sometimes I want to repond with an honest answer and say "Honestly, I'm not impressed. It doesn't look anything like a PB inspired table to me, just old furniture". That would make me look like a giant B though, and possibly flamed off the board.
Whoa. I left for a few hours and this *** blew up. I scanned everything and only have this to add:
Political talk makes me feel like a 3 year old in a Calculus class.
Frozen blueberries are da bomb.
Errr, okay the political talk obviously turned my brain to mush so I have no idea what else was said.
Me too
Around 1p.m., the though crossed my mind to start an afternoon randoms thread. But now that it's almost 3, that ship has probably sailed.
Juli, at first I read your comment to read "frozen bluberries are dumb" and I thought that was hilarious.
Ha! When I first read her post I thought it said something about Chihuahua class. Must be one of those days.....
What about this one?

No reviews, but I'm not finding a ton with reviews.
And bonus for this one, it would only be $400 for 3 nights.
It looks really nice! Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable going with one without any reviews, but I'm pretty conservative in that regard.
It looks nice.
Yes. He told me to just send him an email that said I wanted it, but I just wrote a short formal cover letter. There was an issue with another teacher this year that was told to "just let him know" but someone else formally applied and got it because of it. I'm not taking the chance.
I have that same feeling on the craft board. People make some uuuuuugly stuff.
