Good morning all. Things are quite boring here. While I am glad that they renewed my contract I kind of wonder why since i have like no work. Oh well, like I said I am happy it was renewed.

I keep trying to load those pictures for whatever reason my computer isn't reading my chip. Kind of annoying. I miss having my husband the computer genius around.

Kae I am happy to hear that your mother called. Must have been nice.

Darling fabric, Shelly. Love the colors!

KaeEll, my father-in-law used to listen in on conversations, and we all learned to be very careful about what we said when talking to anyone in that household. I don't blame you for being angry! It's good news otherwise that your mother called you, and sounded so good. Maybe those flowers had something to do with it... I'm also glad to know that you're finally on the mend.

As for the pictures, I think that my silent hex may have worked. I despise having my picture taken, and one of the few that I've ever liked is my avatar. LOL!!

Yeah -- email it to me!!

I remember seeing the two we had taken just before we left the restaurant (still on the camera), but I didn't see the one Jolene took.

Shelly, don't be angry with me, but I think the fabric is far too bright for a nursery. I really prefer muted pastels for a bedroom. I took the liberty of finding some footage of one of my favourite designers up here, Sarah Richardson, who herself has just had a couple of kids and has done up their nurseries on her TV show. I hope the link works.

BTW, back when my kids were little I also had a Noah's Ark theme (in bright, bright colours, too) in Mike's bedroom on one wall, and he peeled off the wallpaper with his little fingers through the crib rail. I don't know if he did that because it was an amusement or if he objected to all the colours, lol.

I don't know...

Not long after our oldest was born, I read a study which said that newborns love bright colors, and that they particularly like the contrast of black and white. I think it's a nice change from the usual pastels.

I'm laughing at the peeled wallpaper, though, KaeEll. I think that's something little fingers can't resist. LOL! When my youngest nephew was still little (the one with the three kids), his wallpaper was pretty much destroyed, and my sister decided to take it down. One of Drew's playmates was a little boy who had a totally anal mother, and the poor kid wasn't allowed to blink. My sister invited him over to help take down the wallpaper ("Just rip it off!"), and she told me later that he thought he'd died and gone to heaven. Permission to be destructive!! She said that the sparkle in his little eyes was something to behold, and the child had more fun that afternoon than he'd probably had in his entire little life.

I am so frustrated. I am trying to find the perfect stroller for 2 infants and all the reviews all talk about 1 infant with another child who is bigger. I want to know what the stroller's are like with 2 infants in them...Ugh.

And Moore I kind of like the red only because its bright. And it will only be bedding and curtains. I live in Navy housing. Can't really do anything to the walls.


Ooh check this out: Double stoller

Well Jojo its nice that you manage to be able to pop in and let us know that you are doing okay. I think we all worry about each other when we go missing for too long.

I hope that everyone is having a great Friday. This place sure is quiet today. I trust that Kae made it out of the house, I hope you are feeling back to normal
