Ford Escape Hybrid...total ideal car for me. Except you know, for the price. In general hybrids wouldn't be that great for us because 95% of our driving is highway at 75

On the trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back last summer, there were four of us plus a full load of luggage in my uncle's Escape hybrid 2wd. Total distance was about 1300 miles, most of it at freeway speeds, and the average MPG for the trip came out to 31.8

If you really don't want to use them, for some reason I can't imagine, you can always put them in another container...like a nice basket...with an additional something nice...like bathtime reading, a calming cd or that loofah that someone else gave you and which you will likewise never use.

I don't like baths, is why. At some point, I will investigate the re-gifting potential -- but now I'll have to remember not to re-gift any of you people! Or I could just give one of you the semi-unwrapped business. Anyone want it?

Who doesn't like baths? What kind of non-bathing freak are you anyway?

Hmm. Good to know. At nearly twice what we're getting, that's significant.

Anyone want it?

Ohhh, me!!! I love baths!!!

Liese and Suzi are me.

Seriously, I"d die without a bathtub. I don't bathe for cleanliness...showers for that...but for relaxation and healing? Oh yeah.

PURPLE BATHTUB.

Loki's avidly watching GA. Seriously, he seems to like close captioning.

I've been poking around IKEA for kitchen solutions because that kitchen? She is small. Counter space equiv to what I have now and it isn't enough. I'm gonna want to put rolling shelves in the cabinets and I'm thinking [link] on the walls. And appliance shelves. If there's wall space. I really need to measure. And find out what the deal with the fridge is. Like, do I have to get one.

Perzactly. I come home from karate and take a hot soaky bath with some kind of bath fizz or bubble bath and let my muscles soak. THEN I take a shower to clean up. With karate 3 days a week, I go through a fair amount of bath product.

My sensitive Irish skin requires that I be verra careful with the product. I dry out like crazy, so the bath fizzy needs to be emoliant. I also really like Nutrogena's sesame oil in the water. Soooo soothing.

Candles, a good audiobook. Hm. Perhaps I need to take one now.

Congrats, SA!
