sealbeachy, I agree.

OK. So is Easter the new Christmas?

That denim bunny is super cute, but I don't think my parents spent that much on the easter baskets for all three of us kids. Yeah, I sound poor.

Love it. Our former house was twice the size and a fraction as nice (and way messier!)

We too looks at many properties before we found our current home.

The view of two mountain ranges from our house (not to mention an even better view from our small pasture) were probably the main selling point. Even though there certainly were houses in our price range that did not need nearly so much work (new roof, new floors, new paint, and now we find out all the floor joists are rotten!).

Yup, I totally agree with thorndale and lampeam. My bedroom had record-filled milk-crates. That was a few years ago.

I think the title references the author's series on remodeling her condo, not the bathroom alone. It should perhaps be something like "World's Ugliest Condo: Bathroom Edition." However, I'm sure the comments saying it's not the world's ugliest would still be valid.

I keep the dust jackets on until they annoy me. If I'm using the book enough (reading to toddler, or cookbook) there isn't much resale value anyhow.

I couldn't care less that some of my kid's books would have been worth more if he didn't color on some pages or kept the jacket nice. He's happily enjoying books I ripped the jackets off and colored in--way more valuable to have a kid that likes books than the potential to sell the book (it's only worth the money if you find somebody to buy it anyway).

Looks way better.

My sister inherited a table that looks almost exactly the same, I don't know how old hers is, but it was our Grandmother's for many years. Hers is unpainted and I'm pretty sure it's something really nice like Walnut or Cherry.

I only say something to immediate family.

I would not expect to be invited back if I started telling the host how to cook.

When I was a teenager I thought I wanted to live in a city--Minneapolis or SF. I don't think I would have made it a week.

My hometown was rural, WAS. It slowly became suburbia and I slowly started to hate it. I moved to a tiny town where the nearest stop light is more than thirty miles away. I'm pretty sure cattle outnumber people in our county (which has fewer people than my hometown has now).
