Stereotype much? Nice job of perpetuating stereotypes with limited anecdotal evidence. I don't think all inconveniences merit a full apology, and as such, I don't issue them unless warranted.

Hubby and I are doing the local Race for the Cure this weekend, so he wanted to raise a bit of money. He decided to bring in cupcakes to work that people can make a donation for one. So I spent the

Me too - that guy at the end was the sweetest - we need to make copies of him for all the young girls.

Wasn't he lovely? I cried during last night's show, too. :blush:

My flowers are waking up. Well the tulips and daffodil's are, I think I will go out and do some weeding. :dance:

Holy cow! I had to look and see where you lived. lol

I soooo miss my gardens. We were hoping to be able to buy a house this spring, but we will have to put it off till at least late summer/early fall :( But as soon as we get one....there will be flowers and fresh veg!

One of the members on here has a fabulous container garden on her balcony. Perhaps you could do that! Unless you don't have a balcony. lol. How about a sunny window?

I did containers on my patio this past summer with some herbs and a few cherry tomato plants and also some planters with some flowers. However when I went to Canada in Aug I came home to everything a lovely shade of brown. Hubby "forgot" to water everything for over 2 weeks :angry:

I booked a trip home to Alberta last night so that I can take Emma home to meet all of her Canadian family :) My Dad had a ton of areoplan miles so we were able to use those for the trip. It sucks that you have to call aeroplan to book when travelling with an infant and they charge you a $30 booking fee to do so (where doing it on-line is free :angry:) But it only cost $130 for the trip so I can't complain about that. It sucks that Si doesn't have any vacation time and can't come with me because other than my immediate family, no one else has met him yet either!! But on the upside, our lease expires while I am in Canada and we decided to move somewhere a bit cheaper to save some $$, so Si will be doing the majority of the moving for us! We have about a week of overlap between the 2 places so he will be able to a little bit every night after work. :thumbs:

so for the last two weeks or so I have been checking the ads on Craiglist for a new place to live.. more causally then anything but today we went to look at a place and we really like it.. it has most of what we want.. although a few major drawbacks for me are they don't allow pets and there is no bathtub but it has a really nice shower with one of those rainfall type shower-heads.. the kitchen is awesome.. almost my dream kitchen.. all fairly new appliances, fridge, stove, microwave..

3n73m03l75Y65Q15W6b2372c80846c70e173e.jpg

the place is a lot smaller then our place now but I don't mind too much because it is easier to keep clean :P

we did fill out an application and he said he is going to make his decision in the next week...

a few days ago we had a handy man come in and fix some of the stuff around here, like a broken window in the 2nd bedroom, the garbage disposal etc.. stuff that I had been meaning to get them to fix for awhile.... but now I feel bad because we might be giving them 30 days notice so soon after getting that fixed... hubby thinks they probably won't give us back our security deposit....

:crying: we didn't get the place.. he rented it out to a couple who came to see it after we did, I guess they were better prepared then us, they gave him a deposit on the spot plus they had their own credit report, copies of thier SSN, DLs etc.. (although the guy had told us he doesn't real depend on credit reports)... which makes it seem like they knew they wanted the place before they saw it.... I still feel like the guy should have given us a chance.. but oh well.. he said he was going to keep our info in case it doesn't work out with these people..

I just feel really bummed out now because I had already pictured myself living there... :(

We just had something similar happen. We were looking to move to a place that was a bit cheaper, and had washer and dryer hook-ups in the apartment. But because of my lack of credit we were denied :angry: And the worst part was that they didn't even call us to tell us we had been denied...good thing we checked back and didn't just show up there on moving day with all our stuff!!
