PocketSamoan's Profile

All the ladies at my office have been talking about this. It's a tough issue and I think there are a slew of potential combatants, plans, etc. that work, but they eventually all boil down to one -- switching holidays every other year. My boyfriend of 5+ years and I have still not mastered this (and neither has my co-worker with her boyfriend of 11 years!)
My parents are divorced and my boyfriends parents are divorced. I've come to call the holidays _____ Extravaganza. (Fill in the blank with whatever holiday.) It's an eating marathon and is just getting worse every year. My family is moving closer, yet that's a 4th place to visit because it would be an eternal sin to have my (poorer) family intermingle with my boyfriend's wealthier side of the family. I don't even know where to start.

Absolutely inspirational. I am overwhelmed on a daily basis - over-committing myself to 3+ soccer teams (managing 2), 2 jobs, and updates around the house...which I never start because I'm worried I'll never have time to finish. Thank you for sharing! I love the picture idea to keep one motivated and remembering how far it's come already. I think I'll pick up that paint I have sitting by the front entry and just put a light coat on. It has to dry anyway. By summer, maybe I'll sluff of some of my other responsibilities just to conquer a long awaited home project (and maybe adopt a puppy). Thanks again! :)

I love the balance of colors, metal, and warm woods. Perfect for my taste.

We fold the laundry while on the couch and everyone is responsible for their own piles. It works well most of the time.
