Good morning everyone

Feeling sleepy and groggy today. Don't know how I got to work. Had one of my "cocktails" last night. We put our furniture back in to the living room. Everything looks nice but now the end tables don't match. I am going to have to do something with those. We also gave up on cleaning the carpets. We're going to look at prices for stone tiles. My husband and I both came to the conclusion that it's a better investment than carpeting. We want a light color on the floor, but our white carpet in the house is already destroyed after 6 years. So we decided to do away with carpeting all together.

Question for you about your spouses and driving...I lose my patience every time husband drives. I'm like, "You're the worst driver in the whole world!!!" and get like with him. Poor thing. I am wondering if you are having the same problems? The irritating thing is that my husband finds a way to blame everyone (mostly me) but not himself for his mistakes. It's like he won't just confess to not paying attention and not listening to directions. I totally lost it with him yesterday and now he won't drive with me in the car I don't know what to do! I tried to sit with him in our driveway, explain directions before hand and then leave (hoping that if he listens before he starts driving he will pay more attention)...but that doesn't work. I will tell him at a previous exit "take the next exit that is coming up" and he'll be approaching and I will say, "Turn here. Right into here..." and he keeps going straight. Then I'm like, "What are you doing???? I told you take this exit!" Then he'll say, "Oh, I didn't know, you didn't tell me till late." Then I just wanna kill him when he drives!!!

One solutions would be to use a GPS...that way he is getting directions from the GPS and can't blame you. Try to be a silent observer and critic in a positive manner.

Hey everyone!!! Just wanted to give you a little update...

The wifey got her 2 year Green Card yesterday!!!

Hi Candid and congrats on the DL

Seren,

thats great about the interview... now you can lay on the beach until the end of summer

Hey Jenn!

Well,

We found a VERY good home for my dog. Her new family picked her up last night. I was sad but releived that we foudn this family to take her. She's goign to be spoiled rotten!

So, to fill the void.......we'll be getting kittens tonight. A chick is bringing them over for us to meet them. There are 3, but I think we'll just get 2. Im excited, and of course Josh cant wait. He handled Akasha leaving pretty well, but only with the bribery of getting a kitten :heh:

I love kitties... Are the 3 siblings? Aww...you can't take just 2 and leave one alone!

Well yesterday we went tile shopping. Husband has his heart set on natural marble tiles. They're beautiful, but they dont' seem to match. I have my heart set on this ceramic tile that is a little bit more expensive. My thing is that natural stone has varying colors and designs in it...that just doesn't go well with my OCD-ness. I need uniform design dangit! Since I have veto'd his judgement about almost everything we've done (except the drapes) I am feeling pressured to let him have his way...but this is a floor we're talking about. Extemely expensive to install too. Not something you can just change on a whim.

The whole thing is giving me anxiety. I want it to look nice. Yet, I don't want to hurt his feelings and keep rejecting his decorating ideas. Any suggestions?

Hey guys,

How is the lovely familia doing?

I wrote on the June 15th thread but it was towards the end so not sure everyone got to read my news.

Mostly been busy at work and at home with hubby, but stopping by for a quick hug and run. I asked Seren about our FB group. I await her PM.

Meanwhile, have a nice day

Buy a few tiles (enough to cover a few square feet) of each of your choices and take them home...live with them on the floor for a few days and see how you feel about them. he may decide that he doesnt like his first choice and then you can have your way

Yes, the kitties are all siblings, but i think the owner wants to keep one anyway, so the third can stay with its mom.

I see GS!!! hi honey. I hope all is well and you guys are having the time of your lives.

First of all, I know I congratulated u via PM already but here it goes again:

Congrats twinieeeeeeeeee!!

Candid, YAYYYYYY for the DL....We are about to apply for one for hubby.

Whoa CnT, you were busy this weekend! I am soooo jealous of the hot weather. It has been chilly and raining since Diego got here. Tomorrow we leave really early to go down to PA, and then fly down to Miami on Wed. morning. We're helping a friend move from Miami to Baltimore, so we'll be doing that fun drive over the weekend.

BTW- happy dance b/c I finally got back my tax refund today. I am soooo glad I realized I could file 'married filing jointly' thanks to VJ.

Anyone heard from Steve or Jen?

Hey C, D's POE was the same day as my BDAy CONGRATS on finally being reunited!

hahaha CNT I am picturing this lol Hubby is only allowed to take my car for a spin around the parking lot of our development. He is dying to drive...me not so much! I am picturing myself going nuts just like u with him behind the driver's seat. In Lebanon they drive 2-3 cars per lane, they cross lines and don't believe in traffic lights

Hey everyone!!! Just wanted to give you a little update...

The wifey got her 2 year Green Card yesterday!!!

AWESOMEEEEEE Q!

Lisa, hugsssssssssssss hunny bunny
