FINALLY!!! Proof I'm not crazy! :) My family and friends always tell me I eat too much salt, but the truth is; I need it! My blood pressure is always good when I go to the doctor and when I was pregnant, I was told I needed to eat more! Personally, I think I know what my body needs and where I'm deficient. I don't know "everything" about my body, but when I crave something, I know I'm lacking a particular nutrient that food provides. Sometimes it's just a matter of listening to your body.

@RAINARANA I thought it was going to be odd having our computer hooked up to the TV, but my son did it anyway. He also got a wireless keyboard and mouse so we could control it from a distance. It works great, plus we can now watch netflix without waiting for the Wii! :) The keyboard and mouse store easily and I have a wireless printer incase I need to print anything.

I love this! I want a dollhouse. I told my daughter I wanted one and she said "why?". Goh. :(

I don't have an iPhone, I have a LG Optima S that burns up when I'm not using it. When I'm not using my phone (at work) I usually put it on "Airplane" mode. I don't get any calls or can make any, but when I'm ready I turn the airplane mode off and use it. I still receive messages the caller just gets an "I'm not answering..." sort of message. Additionally, I've installed "Juice Defender" for the android ( http://www.juicedefender.com/ ) which is mostly free. :) THAT in itself has been a battery saver. After I installed that, battery life almost doubled. Good stuff.

Being "authentic" is not a trend, it's being true to who you are. Obviously some people have a hard time figuring that out.

I'm such a procrastinator, I signed up and haven't pinned anything yet! Geeze, I can't even get THAT done. :)

Thank you! I've been looking for bird stamps that I could use on a larger scale and this is perfect!

I absolutely loved my giant windows while living in Germany, and I lived out next to a field. It was lovely. The view was beautiful, rustic. I never had problems with bugs, spiders yes, bugs no. **shiver** I can't say anything bad about them. They were heavy and nice. :)

Replace the light fixture above your dining table and move it over the sink (after you remove the moulding), add a chandelier or something that draws your attention to it. This will take away from the focus on the cabinets. :) If you're going to change the knobs on the cabinets, black may look better. Also, RustOleum sells a paint for countertops. I haven't tried it, but it looks interesting. Here is the site: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=208
If you want to change the look of the floor without modifying it, add a rug. These are just small changes you can make with a small budget. PS. the things you have on the counter add to the "country look", perhaps you can update those as well and add some pictures. Go to Italy! (not literally) but decoratively. Just my thoughts.

My daughter would love this. She's such a book worm. Although, I'm always the one organizing her books...hmmm...hey!

I thought I'd be the only one "not impressed." The colors seem too "easter-y". :) Separately perhaps, but like they are here, is just...sad.

Color coordinating my clothes. Both in the closet and in my dressers.

I have my clothes separated by type, e.g., pants, shirts, dresses, etc., then by color. It just occurred to me now I need to do my shoes this way!

Are you sure it's not a lab? Preparing the child for some mad future experiment? They study his sleeping habits and see if he "forms" any ideas...bwahahahahaha...okay, I'm just kidding, but it does look like the sort. :)
