Arrgh!

September 19, 2007

Arrgh! Me Hearties. As Zanne, this week’s delightful Guest Mom, mentioned in her last post, it’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

Bonjour Bonjour!! — by Guest Mom Zanne Blair

September 17, 2007

Bonjour Bonjour!! I’m not French. Far from it. This is the way my mom and I greet each other on the phone. The start of a usually lengthy, but uplifting and funny conversation that lasts an hour or so, and seems the right way to greet you. So…Bonjour Bonjour!!!. I’m more than thrilled and feel [...]

This is a new-to-me product that I think is smart. When I’m putting together a room, I love to cut out the footprints of the furniture I’m planning to use and then arrange them and rearrange them to find the best floorplan. But making the templates is a huge pain in the neck. Especially if [...]
