I just micro the tortillas for about 30 sec and then fill with hot refried beans, guacamole, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, sliced olives, chopped onion and shredded cheese. I like my burritos loaded! :D

:iagree: It is a pat-down not a gyn appt. ;)

I started an induction Atkins this week. I have had a slight headache but that is easing up. The good news is that the sugar cravings are all but over.

:iagree: I think the more the mom overreacts, the more curious the girl may become. This would be a good time to have a frank discussion about parts and why things are different. More knowledge = less curiosity. :grouphug:

My 12 & 13 years old finished! They really enjoyed the process! :thumbup:

This is AWESOME news!!! Some of my faith in the legal system has been restored. You all need to CELEBRATE!!! :hurray:

Be cautious of overfeeding because that can contribute to canine bloat (a serious condition). One of my dogs did this and the vet couldn't do anything except tell me to keep a close eye on her for a few days to make sure everything was coming out ok.

lol! this happens to my kiddos too. It's holiday amnesia.

Not overreacting at all! She should have handed the baby back to you or dh and IF you offered to let the man hold the baby THEN it would be ok. To just hand off your child to a person who to you is a complete stranger was inappropriate. It sounds like she was looking for trouble from her comments though. I'd avoid her. Sounds like your dh had your back. :)

Personally, I probably wouldn't do k12 math and I would choose either Spanish or Latin but not both at the same time unless the Latin was more a word roots approach. You might check out the Elson Readers. :)

What are you currently studying in science? If you narrow down the theme or area, it might be easier to suggest some activities. :)

The hardened icing is a thinned down Royal Icing. When it is thin enough, you can pipe a border, let it set for a few minutes, then flood fill. Making Royal Icing requires all the utensils and mixing bowls to be grease free so do a good hot soapy water clean before making it. Here is the Wilton Royal Icing Recipe: Ingredients: 3 tablespoons Meringue Powder (Joann's or Michaels has this in the baking section.) 4 cups confectioners' sugar sifted (do not need to sift if you use right from a new bag. Once the bag is opened and has been stored, you need to sift.) 6 tablespoons warm water. Makes: Icing serves about 3 cups. Add your color to small amounts of icing AFTER you make all of the icing so that you will have plenty of white icing for all the colors you need. A little icing goes a long way. instructions 1. Beat all ingredients until icing forms a peak (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer). Very important to mix the entire time even though it seems long. NOTE: Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency. *When using large countertop mixer or for stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water. You can use plastic icing bags (Joann's or Michaels) or a ziploc with a hole to make application a little easier and less messy.

Here's something that might gross out too, you can swish with a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. It is good to help control infection. The funky part is that the infection causes it to foam up. I had to do this with an infected molar.

Hope you're right. In my experience it was a very bad sign and led to subsequent calendaring and more delay.

Stupid judge! He is 'thinking about it'??? Seriously, having dealt with judges before this is judge-speak for 'I'm unprepared and too stupid to make an informed judgement in a timely manner so I will just jerk everyone around a while longer because I can.' GRRRR! Who monitors these dummies on the bench?? Have you run his name through therobingroom.com? Might be interesting to see what his track record looks like.

:grouphug::grouphug: Hoping the judge is just and fair. I don't have much faith in the court system so I am sending extra hugs and hopes. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Sweeeet!!!

:lurk5:

I have a very bad feeling about this. I hope I'm wrong but I suspect the father is not being truthful. :(

No criticisms either! Love all the great links and I spent tonight reworking my schedule to get started this week. Thank you so much!!! :grouphug::grouphug:

WOW! This is nice! I really like 'Christmas Around the World' . Thank you!

We're adding AP US History via UC College Prep. http://www.ucopenaccess.org/course/view.php?id=82 We're doing Human Odyssey right now but with testing around the corner, I wanted to add some US History.

Bottle of kahlua and a framed paint on velvet Elvis (I've had too many day trips to Tijuana in my youth). :lol:

I've always heard that the 'who's who' stuff was a scam.

My girls are doing Nanowrimo and one has won and the other is close behind. It was really hard not to edit etc. but I made myself hold back. They really have enjoyed the process. I've come away thinking that maybe I need to do less editing in the interest of encouraging them to enjoy writing. It has been a very interesting month!
