I'm going to take the plunge and paint a side table, hopefully Thursday. Please wish me luck. If this turns out, then a chest of drawers is next.

I know that homeschool is not the choice for everyone. But my daughter goes to a charter school. She goes to school 2 days a week,learns on-line 3 days a week. I love it! So does she! She is so happy there! I swear if one more person of my family or friends tries to get me to put her in public...

I got some money from two different family members for Christmas this year. They generally do that so I planned ahead of what I was going to do with mine.

I'm a little stressed out. Okay a lot stressed out. Kind of worried about how we're going to make it through the next week. I have $8 in my wallet and $28 left in the bank. This has to last until next Friday. (The 22nd.) At least $20 will have to go into my hubby's gas tank so he can get to and...

Sigh...I have to spend a lot more than I normally do. We are out of everything. Things that we should not be out of that I just bought are gone because dad, dads fiance, and brother were here this weekend when we were in PA and we come home to a lot missing. I have nothing to drink but spicket...

Well, it's been quite a while, for which I apologize. But boy have I been busy! My new part time job is working out amazingly well. I really like all the people I work with, and honestly enjoy the challenges of the job. I couldn't ask for anything better except a pay raise. (and really who...

I signed up for a beginner sewing class. It starts this Thursday night. We're gonna learn the basics and make a pair of PJ pants. I had to get a sitter 'cause the class starts at 4 PM and ends at 6 PM. I borrowed my mom's Pfaff machine since she won't be using it while she's in Yellowstone...

I read on another website that bread made in the breadmaker can be dry and hard. So I found a recipe that called for using the breadmaker through the dough cycle (1 hr. 30 min) and then punching it down, putting in pan, letting it rise and bake it in the oven. OMG... I have a loaf in the oven...

:toothy: I am going camping :toothy: I found a state campground just a handful of miles from me. It's $8/night, there is a beach and the lots are spaced out so you aren't encroaching your neighbors. The only thing it doesn't have is electricity or water at the sites. There are water spouts...
