It looks do-able… we should try to hold to that budget for February and see what happens.

Spending a week in Jamaica drinking "MJB Specials" worked for us! After a week in paradise we discovered many weeks later we had a Jamaican Surprise!

It's all about changing your daily routine and relaxing. Getting away from work early on those days and spending the afternoon together can help lessen the stress of the work day and make things go more smoothly too.

Some us have lots of time alone (those of us who work from home), but miss the alone time (much much different).

That sounds like it would be really bulky and for $40 it's quite pricey. For $20 and 10 minutes, you can install a digital in-wall timer (available at Target, Lowes, etc) that you can program multiple on/off events and different schedules for M-F vs. the weekend. I use them on my outdoor lighting - the push button face allows you to turn the light on and off at will, but the timer will kick back in automatically at the next cycle. The other nice feature is that they have built in clocks and can do dusk to dawn or dusk + some number of hours without having to have a photo cell outside. And they have a random function which will turn the lights off at a slightly different time each night, keeping burglars from knowing your lighting schedule!

It's crazy expensive, especially when you factor in the required steel to hold up the roof/second floor above!

Thanks! I'll need to get some more pics since we've been accessorizing both rooms. The nursery got some cool fabric and wire wall art - butterflies and a dragonfly - and the toddler room got cars and trucks on the walls (decals) and a few other pieces. I'll do an update sometime when I feel they are "done".

I like the chic in your geek, but that's ok... I'll vote anyway.

You and John and i had a good time til the "Man" came and chased us away!

I hear that courthouses are even worse. They have to provide separate hallways and entry ways for inmates, judges and the public!

Or... She's a man, baby! Mo always has to wake me up when it's my turn - I just don't hear him cry when I'm asleep.
