I always love Rite Aide.

OHHH!! That's a good idea!

I always have to use a swiffer because my kids allergies. A feather duster just doesn't cut it at my house. I also have to get the lemon scented pin-sol because when I smell the pine it makes me think of this lady we knew that had roaches really bad and her house always smelled like pin-sol...

That's because Alan Rickman is hot when he plays a bad guy. He was also good as Col. Brandon When I was a kid I always read the Little House books. Never cared for the tv show. And I love Almonzo Wilder. He is one of my favorite characters. I named my oldest daughter Laura Elizabeth because...

Well I was thinking about it last night and that might be what I end up doing. And yes I want to wear it more. I know once I get it figured out it will be worth it. I think once I get better with my skills I'll start seeing the glass half full.

I have a friend of mine that said she would help me do some pin up shots when she comes back from her deployment. Hopefully this spring. But you gals all look great! I hope I can do the plus-sized pin ups some justice.

Yes I have extra because this has happened before. Sad thing is my carpenter father always says measure twice cut once. And I did. But alas I came up short. Or shall I say narrow. Luckily I have plenty of time before summer.

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! Okay so here is the most recent aggravation I haven't finished yet. Wouldn't you know I got everything finished up to the zipper and the darned thing doesn't fit across the bust. Everywhere else is perfect. Even the piping turned out perfect. Soooooooooooooooo now I'm...

Yeah I have pretty thick hair myself and it seems like it takes forever and a day for a set to dry. So I stick to hot rollers.

I used to wear Solar Nails. These are a french manicure nail that look very real. I can't get them done anymore though since I went back into dental because of infection control rules. I will say gel nails look VERY realistic. Not sure if I have a picture but I always kept them short and...

I like that fabric. Purple is my favorite color. Ty for the warning about the straps. As I said I'm doing mine in a little cherry print. It's white fabric with red cherries and green leaves. I'm usuing some green piping too!! Around the seams of the bodice. I think that will look sharp. I've...

Harpo you'll find that some looks are just classics. Like your shoes. You'll also find the desire to dress a 'little" vintage becomes addicting. Welcome to the lounge.

I was pretty much going to make some of the same points that Lizzie made but she beat me to it. All I can really say as a modern woman is that I'm gald I have the same oppritunities as men. I think we should all be given the same chance even if we decide we'd rather not take it. That was...

I'm in love with the Mabeline Mineral Wear line. It's all under ten bucks,doesn't aggravate my acne (which I have worse now than as a teen) and you can get it anywhere.

I like the ones with the balls inside that rattle when you use it.
