"...loved the pictures. Emma is so beautiful and petite. How lucky that she got Joe's metabolism and will grow up instead of out. You and I will envy her lots! "

Good GRIEF. I'm beyond gobsmacked. I'm wanting to smack her gob. (a) You're a babe. (b) Unless things have changed quite drastically, Emma is a BABY. She does not look like a freakishly tall and skinny supermodel. Which is a good thing. (c) See a.

stupid question:

I want to secure the bookshelves in the basement tv room with furniture brackets. They need to be bolted to the walls. Can I drill and bolt them to concrete wall? Three of the four walls in this room aren't finished--just painted concrete.

Yes. You will need special bolts - they expand as you tighten them.

Aimee, I think possibly your MIL is my mother ... or at least they're sharing a brain (see cough drop story).

You have my deep and abiding sympathy.

I'm wanting to smack her gob.

BWAH!

Or you know, you could just stop sending her pictures, letting her see Em (who is, indeed, lovely ... like her mother). Post pictures here - we'll all oooh and aaah and remind you how great you are.

I shall. She's walking in her walker now and pulling herself up. It's so cute - she looks like she's doing baby crunches.

In good news: My tax return has been deposited in my bank account. Also, I just booked a 1/2 spa day for the end of May. Yay!!!!

In bad news: I am bored and want cookies.

She's walking in her walker now and pulling herself up.

We need pictures of this.

I have them at home. I'll download tonight.
