Recently changed my eating habits and had been feeling pressure lately rather than optimism in the kitchen. This gave me a much needed boost!

Love "Barack to the future." I will be hosting the NH version of this party and thanks to Facebook, I know who I won't be inviting!

Didnt read the article, just the posts, but wanted to weigh in as someone who in my adult life has lived with roommates (10yrs), then lived alone (7yrs), then got married an lived with spouse (4yrs). I am so happy to have had the variety and to know what each of these experiences is like. When I had roommates, I loved them at times and wanted to kill them at times, but I learned to tolerate and that's a good thing. When I lived alone, I loved the freedom, but at times missed the built in interaction, so I learned to entertain myself and that too is a good thing. Now living with my husband and our dog, there is a whole different kind of dynamic with both pros and cons. The intimacy of living with someone you love is wonderful, but carving out the space needed to develop as an individual is something to pay attention to.

So why do so many Americans live alone? Because that's where they are. Maybe permanently, maybe not.

That's my dog's twin! She's equally humiliated by bathing in the sink.

Who manufactures? I'd like to hear what they have to say about the problem of snow. I have a chimney with no flue, no damper, no nothing. We just have a big exit sign from the radiator to the chimney : )

Pug, you're a camera hog. I love you.

I also decorated a big branch this year in lieu of a tree... I'm calling it our festivus pole!

I picked up the very same table off the curb today! Very weird! Drawn to all those circles : )

Endbegin: She paid extra for delivery and assembling! Hahahaha... loved the book and thought IKEA must have paid Stieg a little something for the endless plugs.... then again, the Swedes are proud of their darling IKEA.

such emotional responses! I think its been well documented that second hand smoke can affect your health and that doesn't always mean it will kill you, but it may contribute to asthma, etc. There's a smoker on the first floor of my house (two floors away). Due to poor ventilation, I get her cigarette smoke and it wakes me up in the middle of the night with a headache. Deal breaker.
