I am quite late to this one, but just started reading it and was hooked after the first 3 pages!! I love this book so far! I am sure that many have recommended it on here before in the beloved book threads (that I have a love/hate relationship with...I know that you agree with me!!!), but it was...

I signed up for a race in deep sand (sand dunes). The advice is to wear "trail shoes", so sand doesn't gather in your toes. Any advice on which shoes would serve that purpose? I am thinking Keens, but have no experience with these types of shoes. Thanks for any advice you may have! Jenn

Our iPod Touch has a white screen and nothing else. The white screen is lit up and will fade when I leave it alone, and will light up white again after I try to press any buttons, but that's it. I can't get it to turn on or off. So frustrating!! Any ideas on how to fix it? We do not have an...

We were in the lake yesterday and my friend lost his wedding ring in about mid-thigh deep water that is clear, but pretty muddy at the bottom. We waited for the murkiness to settle and looked for quite awhile and then felt all around the bottom. We know where he lost it, in general. Does...

My 7 year old son changed the passcode on our iTouch and now he can't remember it!!:mad: It has locked us out for an hour, but he still can't remember it. Anyone know how to get in? Kids...sigh!!! Jenn

Kristin Hannah's Firefly Lane It was a light read that made me laugh and cry. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. It was a nice change after reading the whole Sookie Stackhouse southern vampire series! What books are you reading right now? Jenn

Our 2 year old Beagle (approximately...we adopted him when he found us as a stray in the neighborhood) wakes us up every night (sometimes several times per night) to go outside. He is out there just checking things out. He is looking for deer, rabbits, sometimes barking at them, and in the...

Anyone have a recipe for homemade hummus? I recently found that I love this stuff, but I hate paying the high prices for it. I have found a few recipes in some of my cookbooks, but am curious if you have a good one! Thanks! Jenn

WalMart has them today for $199 (normal price most places) but you get a $50 gift card when you make the purchase. Not bad if you shop at WalMart. Just a heads up if you are interested!! Today only!! Jenn

The way I look at it, there is so much in our society that rushes our kids to grow up too fast. I am trying to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for my kids for as long as possible. If you don't believe in Santa for your kids, please start another thread about that (and the whole idea of...

A topic near and dear to our hearts!!:confused: I posted about this about a year ago and looked for ideas and you guys came through! THis year we are trying for ONE fundraiser only, a walkathon/silent auction. All of the items for the silent auction have been donated and the walkathon is...

The Help was such an awesome book! I loved every page of it!! I loved the characters and the writing. Thanks to all the book lovers here who recommended it! I had a giftcard to Amazon and ordered it (along with 4 others!). I loved it and recommend it to others. It was about 3 women in...

We have an AWESOME trainer in our community. We do programs that last for a month. When she introduces a new "product" the first group likes to thank her with a gift. For example, for the first group that had team colors, we bought her a necklace with 4 beads on it, in each of our team...

We have a beagle and he is a wonderful dog, but he pees in my house. If he has access to the basement (a cement floor), he pees and poops there. If he can, he lifts his leg to my furniture, too :( I don't want him to be an outside dog, but I will not let him ruin my wood floors or my...

I broke my foot at the end of March (5th metatarsal) and was sidelined after finally getting to all of my fitness goals (strength and body size). It was very disheartening, since I could do almost nothing for about 8 weeks :( I was at my leanest and strongest (at almost 40 years old). 3...

A good friend is graduating with her master's degree next week. I am wondering if anyone has any good ideas for a gift. I am looking to spend around $50-$100. I want to do something unique. She is into fitness, 25 years old, not into typical "girl" stuff (pink, flowers, etc.). I don't...

If I want to make a DVD and use music (current music, hit music, etc.). Do you have a good place to go for fairly inexpensive rights to the music? So far I am searching and only finding places that want to charge thousands of dollars per song (sometimes tens of thousands). It makes me...

Anyone else love this show? I watched the season opener on Tuesday night and am so glad for a new season! I love watching the drama of the season unfold. My favorite is the Time Bandit, but I really love all of the ships. I missed my crab fishing! Jenn

We were doing laundry yesterday and putting away things and getting a thousand jobs crossed off hte list. You know how it goes! I called to DD (8 years old) to come and help and she says, "Just a sec!" and then, unwilling to wait for her for even a "sec" said, "No more secs!!" It was...

KPC was on FitTV today and at the last second, I decided to join Cathe in the workout (even though I own this on DVD). I really enjoyed this workout. I haven't done it in a very long time! I forgot how much fun it is! I am doing a ChaLEAN program with my trainer, and today called for a...
