I need a new mattress that (apologies to Bobby) is like a rock!

word of the day

Neopolitan:

Combination of tanned, burnt, and untanned skin (usually from bad sunscreen application or a different suit) that resembles the combination of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate found in the popular ice cream flavor.

I LOVE this! When I first got into landscaping, I was the only one at my company with an IQ in 3 digits, so they made me get a pesticide license. I already had tan lines from my shorts and work boots, but after that I had to wear knee-high rubber boots and gloves. I looked like I had the flood record on my legs and arms--stripes all the way.

Plain vanilla here.

You heard it here first. Macrame is coming back! Back, I tell you!

Shortly before my first was born over 8 years ago, my uncle sent me a handmade macrame cradle that was 1) totally impractical as it had to be hung from the ceiling studs and 2) the ugliest thing I had ever seen. (My uncle took up macrame in the 70s and apparently never stopped. Bless him, he is such a nice guy, so I felt terrible about never using it.)

Well, it has been in my closet forever. There will be no more babies and I need closet space so it is time to do something with the macrame cradle.

This afternoon I put it on Craigslist in the "free" section, basically begging someone to take it off my hands, because my uncle made it and I couldn't bear to toss it in the trash. I had three -- THREE! -- responses in less than two hours. GUSHING responses. The first one who responded saw the pics, wants it, and I will meet her tomorrow to hand it over. I feel oddly guilty yet so relieved at the same time!

But macrame! Who knew?

Hey, I learned to macrame a couple of years ago chaperoning at camp. I made bracelets, anklets, and key chains! Maybe I can start a new business.
TfT, you probably missed out on the big bucks.

Maybe so, but I think taking money for a gift I never really liked and didn't use and felt terrible about would be bad mojo. :bicycle: This way is better.

I agree...you're going to make someone very happy.

Especially if she turns around and sells it. :angry:

I can't imagine it would be comfortable either.

Not to change the subject...


Here I am at the beach, and all I want to do is SLEEP! (And eat.) Have I turned into my cat?

Depends..... Have you eaten any lizards? :funn:

Meow. Purr.

Probably the champagne!

The only thing currently keeping me awake are my sunburn, 'skeeter bites (I was being productive and gardening) and Kathy Griffin on Bravo - can't sleep with her going on!

Daughter just sent me a photo of a stack of the thirty-a REVIEW at Jake's ice cream store in Atlanta. You know, the publication with the photo of Dave Rauschkolb on the cover this month.

I know it's the beach, but that doesn't make wearing a SPEEDO to Publix acceptable.

Supermodels can barely make a speedo look good - and this guy was certainly no supermodel! Especially once he added sneakers and a t-shirt that didn't cover the suit.

On the plus side, I haven't had such a low grocery bill in a long time - nothing looked yummy! :funn:
