Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I almost always have free shipping coupons for Lands End.

Because books.

I love that suit, Kat. And I also bought a suit from Land's End -- tankini and skirt bottom -- that fit true and I really like.

msbelle, I like the first lamp and shade, although I could see the second one maybe in a kid's room. Also with a round shade, I think.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Lands End suits seem like a fairly safe bet for buying without trying.

Lamps also seem nice.

I am in a very agreeable mood tonight.

The nice thing about Land's End is you can return at any Sears if there's a problem. They actually sent me the wrong color bottom, so I had to exchange it, and it was simple.

Also, dress yes or dress no? [link] I mean, it's a great dress... That dress for $50 though?

Like the lamp, msbelle, but don't love it.

Oh, also WRT the tv family question, one show immediately sprang to mind. Party of Five. All the kids are brunettes, no idea about the parents but then they weren't really part of the show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

$50 seems like a good price for that dress. I want it! But it's not really different enough from other dresses I currently own, I'm afraid.

I'd buy it. In fact, I just might.

For $50 from Land's End, though, it'll last. I think I would get the saddle color, though, just to switch it up.

Hmmm. I really like that, and I don't have a shirt dress like that, either ...
