thanks everyone, I think I'm going to look for something while I'm there, take her out to dinner and definitely help around the house. If there's something I see she needs then I'll consider that ...

hey juilletdix and lemonpie, I hear what you're saying and I certainly didn't want to gloss over the tragic nature of the event, I wanted to keep things on topic, but I understand how that could ha...

Think Before you Buy! This got left out as tip #4. Discuss.

I'll keep the splashes in check! Pun kind of intended!

Thanks Abby, since i moved into a studio/loft thing I've had trouble defining my space. I'm considering giving up the dining room table in favor of a sitting area. I think I like sitting around o...

Thanks everyone, I'm learning a lot from you!

Thanks for the head's up Miriam--definitely going to check out tuesday morning!

The trip was 3 weeks! El Jinx--I'm working on getting pictures up, it's slow going though!

Hey ciddyguy--have any pictures of the lampstravaganza in your living room?

mjr, have you seen this option ?

Pteetsa-For the kitchen, you might want to look into some under the cupboard lights. Ikea sells some that are battery operated (I think) and just stick under the cupboards for counter light. Othe...

oh hdtex--she was just remarking on a main difference between our places. There was no harm done to me!
