  1. I LOVE my Sony Reader. I have the touch screen model. Not having wi-fi is not big deal to me. I downloaded several books when I first got it, and have easily added a few more here and there. I have not put any books from my library on my Reader yet, but I don't imagine it will be too difficult. I have loaded some Google books easily. I am seriously contemplating a Sony Reader for my son for Christmas. Oh, I love the note taking feature it has. It makes it easy for me to highlight quotes to read to my dh later. :-)

  2. FIESTAWARE?????? I love my new Fiestaware. I've had it for about a month now. I picked up my place settings at Kohls. They frequently have great sales. I did order a couple of place settings from zestydishes on-line. I wanted larger mugs than I could get at Kohls. I did break one of the cereal bowls last week. I dropped it when taking it out of the microwave. It shattered. Into lots and lots of pieces. :-( I promptly went to amazon.com and ordered a new bowl. It was here within 2 days. I love the ability to order open stock! My kids unload the dishwasher, and they're not gentle about it. So far, so good. No chips or cracks. :-)

  3. I buy mine from Sam's Club. It's less than $5 for 2 pounches of it. I open one and dump it into a plastic container to store in the fridge. I should probably store the other one in the freezer, but I just shove it into the farrrrr back of my fridge. :p It lasts quite a long time. I don't bake bread everyday, but I do make pizza every week and use yeast in other things a couple of times a week. I think I've bought 2 pkgs. in the last year.

  4. Woohoo! I ordered a Sony Reader last week...it still isn't here. Hmph. Dell had a great price, plus I could shop through ebates. Usually I get my orders from Dell within 2 or 3 days. Not this time. Hmph, hmph, hmph. I am getting impatient. It shipped from Ontario. Can you believe it? Ugh. lol. It is supposed to be delivered on Thursday. We're going out of town on Thursday. Guess we won't be leaving until after the UPS man comes. HA! Enjoy your new toy!

  5. I'm thinking about purchasing one. It'll be a frivolous purchase, so we'll see if I can convince my dh to let me buy it. :p I'm specifically looking at the touch version in red. I know it's not wireless, but I don't think I'll mind that so much. Do you have one? Do you love it? Do you wish you had purchased a Nook or a Kindle? Thanks!

  6. I am in no way ready for school tomorrow. I'm thinking we'll do a light week, then get back into the full swing of things next week. Hey, homeschooling allows us to be flexible, right? HA!

     

    ETA: I think the reason I'm not ready is because dh has been home with me forevah!!!!! He's a Drill Sgt., so he usually works 7 days a week. It's sad, but we're used to him not being here. He's been in an Army school since the end of October. That means he came home from PT every morning, plus came home for lunch every day, and was home by 4 or 5 most days. Then, he took 2 weeks off for Christmas. So, our schedule has been topsy turvy for months now. He went back to work today. I want a week to just do nothing. If I wanna sit on the couch and knit all day, then I wanna be able to sit on the couch and knit all day. Does that make me horrible? :ninja: Oh well. One week of light school it'll be.

  7. We just did this a few hours ago...clear bulbs from Michaels, etc. Put a few drops of Pledge floor cleaner inside them, swirl around, dump out the excess. Add some glitter, put the top back on and shake around. Very pretty, easy and relatively inexpensive! You can dress them up anyway you choose. We used my littlest dd's handprint in white, then we're going to dress the "fingers" as snowmen using sharpies. I wish I had picked up more bulbs, as they're so pretty! They were 50% off, so pretty cheap. If I make it to town this week, I told the kids I'll pick up some more. We are sending them to family members for gifts, but they want to make some for our tree as well!

  8. I have to give my dh VERY specific lists as well. I don't really mind...atleast I know I'm getting something I want. lol. Every once in a while, he'll surprise me...his surprises are usually fabulous. When I make the list, I include the place to purchase it, or a link, and the price. That helps him plan out his shopping budget a bit more. :p He won't do gift cards for me either. Or clothes...I want new clothes...he told me to buy them myself. HA!

  9. Leapsters were a waste of money here. We have two, but neither of the kids they were bought for really cared a hill of beans about them. Of course, they did have older siblings with DSs, so maybe that was part of it? I do think my 5 year old would enjoy a Leapster much more than the others did, but who knows. She's cut from a different mold than they were. ;-)
