      Oooh I’m so sorry! I missed this entire post! My face is red now. LOL!

      Great Lists with many similar things! Daytime soaps — I didn’t even think to put General Hospital on my list!

      Have a great day!

      Enjoyed my visit with you and reading a few of your posts! I don’t fear the dentist; I just downright don’t like them!

      You wish you could find JUST one more hour in the day? I wish I could find about five more, minimum. Thanks for the tag! I will try my best to play but I have little bit of catch up to get done. All three of my kids are sick. Yay 🙁

      Thank for the tag!!!!

      I’m gonna do mine Monday.

      Another soap-watching girl–yay! I wish I could go to the dentist for you–I have no fear and an extremely high tolerance for pain. Imagine the money I could make if I could market that?

      Thanks for tagging me–I’ll take you up on the challenge.

      XOXO

      Oh Suzanne! I feel your fear! Good luck with that dentist issue. Can’t even make myself say those r.c words. LOL

      Suz So Far we have half of our money back that we lost on our rental fiasco. I will keep calling her and e-mailing, but it does not look good. She is one of the reasons we are thinking of buying our own home. Can’t help but think after 10 years of renting we know how renters like to be treated. With a little honesty and respect!

      I love your lists…how exciting that you may get your own vacation home…this is the TIME TO BUY. (and thank you for stimulating the economy when YOU do buy!!)
      I will get on this tag this week. Thanks for including me.

      ps. Did you ever get your refund from the first vacation house?? I can’t remember how it all turned out for you.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale.

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
