Can't wait to see if the dress is a go or if you stop in Knoxville. I'll be thinking of you this weekend while you are meeting new friends and connecting with old ones. Enjoy! Fun post as always!

It used to be that people would watch in separate rooms or fight over channels and be exposed to lots of commercials. I just helped my 8 and 9 year old daughters get netbooks and have facebook and it's great for helping them connect, be comfortable with technology and do research. Yes, I monitor their use and there's a possibility of overutilized but I notice no lack of togetherness. And everybody is really good about pushing pause instead of asking for somebody to wait until a commercial, so we have no diminishment of conversations.

We have not had snow but some very cold temps with highs only in the 20's. Unfortunately, we were not able to stay home, warm and cozy. My hubby and son both needed new shoes, I needed new sneakers and of course my daughter always finds a new pair of shoes she must buy when she sees them. LOL~After shoe shopping we went to visit my bil's dogs. They aren't living with us yet. We took them for a nice walk/run. It was fun even though we couldn't feel our toes or noses when we were done.

That dress is beautiful! Here in Utah we get lots of snow but with plenty of plows and lots of shovels we are rarely, if ever, snowed in. One Saturday I will have to use the slush idea and declare that we can't go anywhere! Hope that Blissdom is wonderful! Wow! That dress is beautiful!

Love the picture of your outdoor table, heck I like the table. I went a year and half without blogging. I missed and felt relief at the same and alternate times. Just last Spring we went a bit over a month with no TV's in house - right before we moved. LOVED it. Maybe we'll do it again this May- like fasting and getting our souls ready for the inspiration of summer- too much fun to be had out of doors! My girls all have iPods- I was the last one to get one, last Mother's day. The older two have cell phones, my 12 yo has a little dell, three of them have DS Lites,we have a family computer, two TV's with DVR's and DVDs and we all have a Wii and yet we spend most of our time reading, playing games, hosting company, being outside, playing with AG dolls, crafting and just being. That's irony! Not technically, but it was cold enough to keep us in cooking a roast dinner, making crafts, enjoying the company of good friends.

Just last Spring we went a bit over a month with no TV’s in house – right before we moved. LOVED it. Maybe we’ll do it again this May- like fasting and getting our souls ready for the inspiration of summer- too much fun to be had out of doors!

Since I grew up Catholic and now attend a non-denominational church. However, I do not miss Catholic mass, but you have got me curious to catch a Lutheran service :) And please, Please, PLEASE do NOT take a break from blogging (unless you physically or mentally need to, lol) or comments for Lent, PLEASE, lol! 40 days is just WAY to long! :) Kristi I may just have to order this book!

Catch up on Google Reader etc. it's good just to be in your own house sometime and not have the pressure to go out and do something. Looks like a great combination you are creating for the cocktail party - enjoy it! Jade Sounds great, we had quite a lot of snow here too so it’s been a similar excuse not to go out.
