Sadly, making things around me beautiful is just about last on my list these days. I wish it wasn't because having some flowers on the table and everything neat, clean and sparkly really improves my mood.<BR/><BR/>Hope that house and yard get finished--or are these the types of projects that remain moving feasts? Some people like to have a continuing project. I suspect you're like that.<BR/><BR/>Hey, thanks for the commiserations! I kept sitting staring at the blank blog page and my attempts to be cheery fell flat so I thought I'd just be honest. I have to say, reading everyone's great answers, it worked! Thanks for coming to my pity party:)Christine Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260589566405262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-33922622327653461922009-02-12T00:22:00.000-05:002009-02-12T00:22:00.000-05:00Hi BlackRoze!

Know what you mean about Reese's--the girls on the Eloisa James/Julia Quinn bulletin board introduced me to Peanut Butter Cups and I must say, if they'd make me lose weight, I would probably live on them!<BR/><BR/>Part of me envies people with nannies but then I want to spend time with my children as well, so it's hard to decide which way is better. I know which way would help me get more writing done, though! <BR/><BR/>thanks for commenting!Christine Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260589566405262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-66049893941002495882009-02-11T23:42:00.000-05:002009-02-11T23:42:00.000-05:00Oh, Christine, down in the dumps?That's so unusual...Oh, Christine, down in the dumps?<BR/><BR/>That's so unusual. You're usually the one cheering up the rest of us! So sorry you're feeling blue. I love your five things to covet.<BR/><BR/>I'd have to think on mine to come up with something really good, but lessee.<BR/><BR/>1) I'd have to win a really big lottery, and be the only winner, to pay for the other four.<BR/><BR/>2) The house finished.<BR/><BR/>3) The yard done.<BR/><BR/>4) Lots of extra to give to causes I like to support.<BR/><BR/>5) More free time for fun--reading, traveling, day trips, horseback rides, marshmallow toasting, walking in the woods, howling with the dogs, fishing...well..you get the idea. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm. I could go on. Lots of things around to covet but I don't much care about "stuff" as making things around me beautiful and having the time to enjoy them.Cassondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420982030156788059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-37967630944435681512009-02-11T21:06:00.000-05:002009-02-11T21:06:00.000-05:00the full blooded native americans2 the ablilty to ...the full blooded native americans<BR/><BR/>2 the ablilty to eat reeses and LOSE weight<BR/>(guess that not very covet since i doubt it works)<BR/><BR/>3 DSL<BR/><BR/><BR/>4 about any of the cars from the supernatural show<BR/>older models with lots of power <BR/><BR/>5 ppl who had nannys for their kidsblackroze37 AT yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149823428113225855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-82272237261296919122009-02-11T19:55:00.000-05:002009-02-11T19:55:00.000-05:00Oh, wow, Suz!

I still have it, though it's a bit small for me to wear now.<BR/><BR/>Isn't that terrible when you're traveling and you run out of books? When I was in New Zealand, I ended up persuading a few people to swap books with me. Can't bear to be without a book to read.<BR/><BR/>Wow, grace and fealessness would be an awesome combination!

One of my most prized possessions is the tiny sapphire ring my parents got me for Christmas when I was 10.<BR/><BR/>As for my list, here goes:<BR/><BR/>1. An ereader so I don't have to worry about not having enough to read when I travel.<BR/><BR/>2. A library so I'd have somewhere other than under my bed to put all my book.<BR/><BR/>3. Enough time and money so I can tour the States and see all the sights I haven't gotten a chance to see yet.<BR/><BR/>4. Audrey Hepburn's grace. <BR/><BR/>5.

I know the Vespa and loved the movie, too! I laughed about the linen--I complained once that it crushes so easily and a friend of my mother's said, yes, but darling, it crushes so <I>beautifully</I> So maybe you can keep that in mind next time you feel like you're looking wrinkled!Christine Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260589566405262159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-30704664556776306182009-02-11T17:02:00.000-05:002009-02-11T17:02:00.000-05:00Hi everyone...1.

The one she pulls her peignoir and marabou mules out of in James Stewart's apartment. <BR/><BR/>2. A Jura espresso/cappuccino machine.<BR/><BR/>3. A Vespa...like the one Hepburn and Peck rode in Roman Holiday.<BR/><BR/>4. The ability to wear linen in the summer without looking like a wrung out washcloth.<BR/><BR/>5.
