Oreos dipped in peanut butter is good too. As is a Sonic oreo peanut butter milk shake :hurray:

I have not read the book but y'all are inspiring me to dejunk my house. It sure needs it

Get this. FIL gave us a bunch of plaques and trophies he won in golf tournaments. Why :confused1: I asked dh why and he said "he wants us to have something of his". So now I have a stack of these things. UGH

Love this thread :lol: And I love Oreos :hurray:

I had and wore my high school ring until I started working where it wasn't a good idea to wear while working. Then I got out of the habit. Never had a college ring. I have asked dss if they want a class ring. Ds1 said "no way" I feel kinda guilty because I haven't looked at them for him. But he said no and I figured it would be a waste of money. Same kid also said he doesn't want to do the "whole graduation thing". Just hand him a diploma and say he graduated. That is what he wants. Ds2 has a ways to go but right now he says he wants the ring.

Oh. My. Goodness! That is stupid! The teen years bodies go though all kinds of changes and a grade depending on their BMI just makes me :cursing: :cursing:

I have been pretending to shop. Online, looking at stuff, putting it in my cart then x'ing off. Would love to be able to buy the things I want and be done (these items are on sale too) but there is no money available. At least I am thinking.

To much stuff Not enough closets (old house = small closets & no closets) I am lazy -- there I admitted it

Thank you people. Now I want ice cream, REALLY bad :laugh: We have none in the house and no way to get any. Oh well I guess I don't need it. Really ice cream depends on my mood. Mostly we get vanilla to appease everyone. Some of my favorites are: Moosetracks Chubby Hubby Praline & Cream Peanut butter Coffee Cookies and Cream Strawberry Peach And, and, and, and. :drool5: Man I want some ice cream

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Eleanor Roosevelt Believe you can and you are halfway there. Theodore Roosevelt

Having boys and their friends over means usually daily. I voted 4-6 because sometimes I will skip a day. But generally everyday.

I forgot we went here too. Stood in a long line. Then sat in the car eating while watching a wedding party (full wedding clothes) get out of a bus and get in line. Yes the bride and groom were 1st ones out of the bus and in line.

We went a few years ago. Things we did Tour Cardinal stadium Went to Arch -- we didn't go up, 2 of us are claustrophobic, (I went up back when I was young and remember it though). But we walked around the arch and did the underground Museum Riverboat tour Budweiser brewery tour -- very interesting and cool -- and saw the Clydesdale, lots of cool facts and cool old buildings Grant's Farm Zoo Science Center St Louis has LOTS to see and do.

I read the title and said Monopoly :rofl: Really don' t like that game. Takes forever and ever notice how no one plays that game by the same rules? Ds like Monopoly. He can only get me to play with him (and I have to be in a really good mood). Sorry and battleship I like Operation, clue and checkers are ok Candyland and Chutes and Ladders I tolerate with a small child I do not like the new battleship or new clue. If we are going to play I pull out my old games from childhood.

Home cooked meals -- most nights Meals eaten at table as a family -- most nights,, Sometimes we eat in the living room or wherever you want to eat Cloth napkins -- yes just because we like them. Are they fancy and match, heck no Table cloth -- nope but I have used them before, the ones that are flannel on back and vinyl on top -- real fancy ;) Course -- No way. Most time I sit everything on the table (sometimes in the pots :eek: ) sometimes it is left on the stove and you fix your plate buffet style Dressing for dinner -- must have on clothes of some sort and a shirt Extended family meals are always buffet style. Ironing sheets :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: what is this iron you speak of???

I generally make a photo card for the grandparents. Some years I have printed them off myself but most years I do a card thru Walgreens or somewhere. Usually has a coupon code to make a personalized card pretty cheap.

I haven't used it yet but I just got the card. I "bought" the card at Walmart (they normally cost but are free until bluebird stops doubling - sometime this month). I had to put some money on it when I bought it so I put $1 on it. Came home and registered it and transferred my savings catcher to it. A few days later I got my actual card in the mail.

If it's a good book I can block out almost anything.

I have trained my kids and myself (for the most part) to cough into our shirts. (pull the top of our shirts up over our mouths) I told them it keeps the germs from flying out on others plus keeps your hands a clear.

And thank y'all for reminding me of a little treat I bought and hid the other day. No one is home at the moment :w00t:

Empty coffee can in the cabinet Rarely used solid (not clear) casserole dish (with lid) sitting on the shelf No idea why I would think of those to things ;)
