> [@EmilyG](#): > > Anyone who wants winter can have mine, complete with ice rain and slippery roads. OMG, I haven’t seen ice rain in years! My favorite place I ever lived was Alaska. I am trying to convince my hubs to move to Seattle or Oregon (because he has already ruled out Alaska, but I haven’t hehe) so I can at least get back to the NW, my dad is from Seattle and my BFF lives in Vancouver, WA. I need the cold and rain and ocean. I need it like flowers needs sun. 🆒 He is trying to get me to Hawaii :dubious: ---

I finally picked out my fabric for the quilt I want to make. What do you think??

> [@IvoryTowerDenizen](#): > > Feeling nostalgic and spamming Facebook with old pictures of the kids when they were tiny. awwww. Am I FB friends with you yet? I am PM you my FB page if you want to add me. I want to see the tiny Soapy-bitties pictures 🙂 Today I was watching old home videos of the twins when they were babies because a bout of nostalgia hit me too. I think getting ready to have a new baby is making me a little sad to see my twins getting older and excited about a new little one in the house. Here is the one that really made me smile: [https://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/asahlin2/allison%20and%20lucas%20at%20the%20park%20sep%2028%202008/?action=view¤t=MVI\_0248.mp4](https://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/asahlin2/allison%20and%20lucas%20at%20the%20park%20sep%2028%202008/?action=view¤t=MVI_0248.mp4) ---

Looks nice, **Apes**. Ok, so I’ve managed to catch up on emails and I ordered all but one of my textbooks. I need to get up and grab a credit card, but all my schnoodles are sleeping right now and I don’t want to disturb them. 🙂 Remember that lunch I was pricing out? Well, it was today.

Maybe I was busy at the hardware store buying signs (“Exit” & “No Trespassing”) & rope to tie to my bumper. :eek: (Actually I stayed home & didnt do squat today. Fell asleep on one conf call that I took in a horizontal position.) ---
