Chris! You know I'm the queen of bad medication reactions and hives. Cold water compresses will create the same kind of nerve reaction (replacing the itchiness with another feeling) that scratching does, without causing the damage to your skin. Aloe is another one of my favorites - I have...

Woohoo! It's Monday!!! Which means it's technically Sunday for me :) Usually on our weekends, Jeff wants to go to bed early and sleep in for an eternity... gotta love night shift... which causes rifts between us because I can't sleep to that schedule. Well, he has a brand new video game and...

Ack! I think it's safe to say the "allergies" I've been battling ever since I got over my last cold have now turned into a cold or sinus infection. Waking up this morning my head felt like I had slept with it in a vice... but not the same pain I get from my migraines or headaches, this was...

Chris - You know I'm jealous of your snow!!!! But I do hope it doesn't get in the way of your plans today! Laurie - I can't wait to see the pics!! I'm glad you did finally get to see Sugarland... even though I'm still insanely jealous. Wow, I'm having a jealous filled day huh? Nana Linda -...

Woohoo Chris!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!!! I was just asking Clara when she thought you were going to post this!!! I can't wait!!!!

I LOVE my mac!!! I had to go back to a PC when my first macbook died this summer... and that was the hardest two weeks of my life. I still have to use PCs for processing real estate appraisals - but that's it. Let me know how that goes!! I haven't taken the time to look into iCloud much...

Woohoo! It's almost Sunday!!! I can't wait! After the rough week Jeff's had, I'm really looking forward to having him home for an entire weekend since deer season started. He's taking me to see Puss in Boots, then we're probably going to use a groupon for this bistro that the locally owned...

Chris - sorry but your note made me laugh haha!!! I can't imagine ever having to write that!! I hope Cait gets better quick - yuck - can't imagine having to be on that stuff!! The h. pylori test cost me $315 - ack! I wish blood tests were cheaper! Laurie - I've been meaning to ask you if...

Woohoo! got personals done, I hope I didn't miss anyone! Today I'm going to try and get lots of work done, I'm finally back in my groove and making progress. It's really tempting to not spend the day baking cookies though... I have a new three tier cooling rack that's just begging to be used...

Good morning ladies!!!!! I haven't set a foot out of bed yet :) Chris - Eeek!! I can't believe your tags didn't transfer over! I thought ACDsee embedded the tags in the metadata! I can't imagine re-tagging all the stuff you have!!! Good luck! Laurie - Woohoo! The basement is almost done...

good morning ladies!!! My day is off to a rough start so I thought I would pop into the O's for a pick me up :) Jeff's having a hard time with something... and I can't do anything about it but try and lift him up and encourage him. It's driving me nuts to have my hands tied like that!!!! So...
