Yep, 3. Go Texans!
Ikea is definitely a place to go when you have $$. Everything in there is soooo tempting. My BF's grandparents are in SA. His grandfather had a stroke about a month ago. We have been making the trip to SA several times lately.

Jessica Simpson: "I don't eat buffalo wings." Friend, "Why?" Jessica, "Cause I don't eat buffalo."
Forgot to say I've been married 16 1/2 years. I was also an Air Force Brat. That's why I was born in Great Falls, Montana, and my brother was born in Columbus, Ohio, when our family is all from California. I have 2 dogs a 1 year old Poodle who's 1st BD was yesterday. Kids named her Little Star, because my mom bought a Poodle from the same litter and named hers Twinkle. Then my Shih zoodle Marie, who likes to spend all her time with me, which I've read that's a Shih Tze trait... they are companion dogs. She was on her way to the pound and my brother and I both took one. Just couldn't see it happen. Seems like people in my family like to get dogs at the same time.

I think shopping is the female equivalent of hunting. In our histories men have always been hunters. and women gatherers, don't you think that shopping is the gathering. I know I "gather" as much as I possibly can. The only difference is you have to pay for what you find!!!! :0) soni

Oops, didn't mean to cry on like that. Sorry. Oh yeah, I also have a crazy black cat named Pepper.
