When I was growing up my mom kept store bought bread products in the oven, complete with plastic wrap. Let me just say: stupid idea. I don't keep anything in my own oven, but I might ...

What bepsf said. It's a lovely room, but the cabinet and tv in front of the fireplace is just odd.

Very pretty! I really want to see what the outside looks like.

What everyone else said. Plus, it's kind of pretentious anyway.

Sputnik: haha, me too. My dog knows what's up if I'm headed to bed with a croissant. Eating in bed's nice, on occasion. And frankly, I do lots of things in my bed (using the computer, knittin...

racheloncegentry -- a sundowner is what we in the healthcare field call someone who gets confused at night :). I love winter! I only wish it snowed more here. I would like to have a l...

barbidahll -- that's exactly what I was thinking!
