Yesterday we went to the Smithfield Farmer's Market. We got some veggies, cheese, and this lil' teddy bear made from Alpaca fur. Isn't it cute? :love This is my daughter with her bunny and her new Alpaca bear. She just woke up, notice the bed head and sleepy eyes? :p I also got a Essential oil starter pack in the mail that I ordered on-line. It containted 6-.33oz bottles of Lemongrass, Peppermint, Lavender, Eucayptus, Sweet Orange, and Tea Tree. I mixed one cup vinegar and two cups water with about 6 drops Lemongrass in a spray bottle and made some cleaner. I'm happy with the way it cleans and smells and mostly happy about the amount it costs!!! :cool: Yesterday evening my DH took DD and DS out to Bass Pro in Richmond for a fishing weigh-in so I had the house all to myself. I would have been exciting except I had to get homework done. :sick So BAD I wanted to go outside and work on my new pen or weed-eat or weed the strawberries and herb garden but Noooooo I had to do stupid simple interest, APR, and other percent formulas for hours......ughhh! (Keep in mind I'm an Art Major, math is NOT my thing!) At least I got it DONE and when my DH comes home from work today I can get some outside stuff done. I made a beautiful gate to go on my new pen (pics coming) :D Now I just need to get the gate posts up and the wire around it and a net for over the top and I have a new pen. :)

Aw, your little one is so cute! Kudos for tackling "The Giant List." :clap
Thanks. I think the question list needs to be updated to be more SS friendly. Add questions like "where does your energy come from?" "what foods do you grow for yourself?" "do you think a bicycle operated washing machine would be awesome?!" :lol: How many people really care about Disneyland or Disney World?

Some of the questions are pretty trivial. Sometimes people skip it and just tell about themselves and what they are into. I skipped some questions but i barely use my journal. I get too busy learning from everybody else.

We just watched Rango on Friday night. You're right, it wasn't as good as I had hoped, but the kids liked it. And I still love Johnny Depp too! :love

Did you guys see my thread about updating our list? I agree they need to be more SS, I made some suggestions and others have added more questions....feel free to add your imput, I'm going to post them to the beginning of my journal for everyone once we nail down some more thought-provoking questions.

A shorter list with more thought provoking questions. That's a great idea, SD! I never did the 100 questions because i was afraid of having a panic attack half way through!
