I find that for the most part, this magazine lives up to it’s name and it’s much more my speed. But to this day, if I pick up a Martha Stewart Living, I always head to one particular part of the magazine…the “Good Things” section. I still love that section, even if I have benched Martha from participating in my kitchen adventures (after all, I already have a handicap…). [...] [...] Then, I discovered Real Simple.

It's super fun, I think you should definetly get your tea towels out there. New Moon was better huh? I'm glad to hear it...I may have to convince Tim to go see it. Or my dad. I probably have a much better shot of that :) Hey thanks for the shop mention! It’s super fun, I think you should definetly get your tea towels out there. New Moon was better huh?

Being a master substitutionist in the kitchen myself, I've made that recipe before, but opted for coating the little guys in choco sprinkles rather than melted chocolate. (Who needs a double-boiler... and why should I buy baker's chocolate when I've got sprinkles left over from those cupcakes I made a few years ago?) They turned out fabu and super easy. But as for your great thing #9. Ummm... seriously? Either that photo is not doing your dream bedspread justice or else your taste has rapidly declined since moving to Colorado. Is the thin air affecting your reasoning abilities? Or perhaps you can explain the awesomeness of said bedspread which the photo somehow leaves out?

Hope you're enjoying scarce purchases at the following stores: Garden Ridge, Marshall's, ... :) Seriously...I hope you're enjoying your time off with your sister, brother in law and niece! Thanks for the pictures on Facebook (which I still have not logged on to, to review...not because I'm ungrateful, but because I RARELY log on to that animalistic gossip page of a Internet fad). I love you M! Have a terrrific day! D M,

Is it a picture that isn't loading as a result of our company "Surf Control" or did you leave it in for some sort of subliminal message (...or just hit "Enter" too many times after the word phenominal for emphasis ...I dunno)? On the QB looks thing...not a big deal...we had horses teeth Elway and won the Super Bowl...twice...with that look. I think Orton looks tough...like Jim Kelly...you know...the old Buffalo Bills QB...who's now completely bald...but that's what happens over time I guess! :) Love, Dad Hey M,

You sent everyone to my front page, which has a pick of you and me. Cute and all, but not the seriously ugly outside that it really was, as depicted in this link: http://www.lizjohnsonbooks.com/?p=1035 :) And I'm so with you on the cute QB situation. Would it hurt the Bronco organization as a whole? Maybe we should volunteer for the Orton makeover squad. We could only help. Amy, we gotta work on your link to my site skills.

When you say "thingy", it comes through the "service guy translator" as "here's a sucker...I think I'll try to sell her a "cab air filter" or somethin'. You and I both know, with the type of stuff you need to filter from being in your car, a dinky "cab air" filter is the least of your problems...I thinkin' you need a "trash filter" on all 4 doors (especially the driver's door) and on your trunk opening in order to strip the garbage out of your hand(s) before donning the sunglasses and putting on the seatbelt :) Just an FYI...Synthetic Oil only needs to be changed every 5000 miles...not 3000. It's 40% more miles on the road and more time "NOT IN THE SHOP". In other words, paying $24.99 for synthetic is the same as paying $14.99 for regular oil...over time/miles. This is good because it gives you more driving time between oil changes...so good call, M! BTW...Never hesitate calling stuff "thingys" around your dad. He thinks it's cute and he would never take you to the cleaners on unnecessary expenses...you just have to put up with the teasing...which costs you nothing but dignity! :) ILY, Dad M,
