"Home" for the Holidays?

Nov 21, 2009 - Most of my life I've often wondered why Thanksgiving seemed to be for many families a trigger word for family dysfuction.

I have to keep reminding my self that I'm pragmatic by nature and that is apparently unusual. I found an article with some helpful tips.

Now if I wanted to take that a step further, I could add some decorative fabric to the back panels and really make the shelf pop. - 0 Comments

90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?

Nov 18, 2009 - The Tuesday night CW block made a particularly strong showing this week. Personally, I thought 90210 had one of its best episodes of the season — nice character development, a few teary moments, and some "oh no she didn't" disses. And as for Melrose Place, I've got two words for you: Heather Locklear. - 1 Comment
