I love Pringles

   Wow. It was a long day for sure as we had to take a break for the minions to get their flu shots but we finished one wall! I think it looks fabulous and am sharing a photo of it so far. We have a hall tree that will go next to the tv on the other side. It will hold all the shoes and hats and gloves and coats. Unfortunately it's not white but I hope it will look fine in the color it is because I do not want to paint it also lol.

   Tomorrow we are doing the wall that has our grandfather clock on it so we are getting stuff off shelves and moved right now in prep for painting to start early tomorrow. Very glad our puppy stayed out of the paint lol  I was quite worried about that also.

   So there you have it. Day 1 of painting is complete and I feel accomplished.

Nice job! I am itching to paint my main level. I want to paint it white. I am hesitating because I think painting the kitchen will be a nightmare. Seeing your handiwork inspires me! I also like seeing bookshelves full of books. Whenever I go to someone's house to visit and don't see bookshelves it looks naked to me and I wonder where they keep thier books.

I'm glad its inspiring you! I'll post more photos this evening! We love books and have more than just those shelves. There's a bookshelf in my craft room and the kids room too lol

I read a recent study that said 80% of adults don't read a book after graduating highschool and 75% of parents don't buy books for their kids

      More proof she has a shopping problem. She sells stuff all the time. Therefore you don’t notice how much she constantly buys.

      More lies d from Braggie. She constantly complained about her concrete counter top because it was always chipping. She also complained about the paint on the cabinets chipping as well. She has been wanting to redo The Whole kitchen for awhile and a total gut job was not necessary at all. She lies as much as she breathes.

      I have to add she got two new dishwashers, a new giant fridge and a new $12,000 stove/oven. I’m sure they weren’t broken by the “flood.”

      Wow. That’s a really extreme reaction! I hope friend A got therapy or something. I could see not being able to handle throwing the baby shower, even explaining to friend B that it was just too raw and emotional for her to participate — but to completely cut her off as a friend and think it was insensitive for her friend to even celebrate? That’s showing some really deep issues. And if she already has a child, she’s bound to come across little girls at play groups, the park, school - she realistically can’t isolate herself from that….

      She never got therapy and actually had major issues with her own sister while she was pregnant. Once her sister had a boy, they were best of friends again. So unhealthy. I heard through the grapevine a few years ago that she had a second child and had a daughter. Now she acts like life is amazing and her family is complete. She still mentions her first daughter a lot (rightfully so), but I'm really hopeful that she doesn't compare her living daughter to her first daughter.

      True, we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, and perhaps I'm projecting a little.

      I had two friends that were best friends and had been since elementary school. So they had years of deep, solid friendship. They were both in each other's weddings, etc. Friend A got pregnant and Friend B threw her a massive baby shower. Everyone was so excited. Friend A gave birth at 39 weeks to a stillborn daughter. Entire friend group was devastated for her and did everything we could to support her. Two years after the loss, Friend A went on to have another child, this one a boy. Friend B threw another baby shower (this time after he had already arrived) and everyone was so happy. Two years later, Friend B gets pregnant. Friend A starts to get a little cagey. Doesn't know if she'll come to the shower, let alone throw it. Friend B finds out she's having a daughter and tells Friend A before the shower so she isn't surprised by it. Friend A is furious that Friend B is having a daughter and cuts her out cold turkey. Never speaks to her again. Removes herself completely from the friend group and tells everyone that we weren't supportive of her loss and it was incredibly insensitive for Friend B to have a baby shower for her daughter when Friend A never got to raise her daughter. 

      Soooo.... I understand situations like this can be tricky. I understood Friend A was hurt but I also thought Friend A was a bad friend for not being happy for Friend B for something she can't control (ie the sex of her unborn baby). This is what I mean by it's a fine line between protecting yourself but also sometimes having to put your own issues aside to support a love one.

      Probably.  She showed a big picture of the balloon release but I didn't look closely.  I was just glad that the family gathered around her when she needed it.  The lady's name was something like Tuff Decisions.

      She's just as good of a source as wacb
