I'm itching to get to IKEA but for me it is a good hour and a half away - so I need a full day to commit to going. I meant to do it over the holidays but then, well...who knows what happened.

I own a set of mismatched, chipped dishes too, but we use paper plates these days, so I haven't been motivated to buy a new set. Sounds like a nice Thanksgiving and Halloween, despite the sickness and lack of enthusiasm to go trick or treating.

Ten tears I have been attending these. Always dreading germs. My youngest, Curly, still dances. In a true dance mom move I kept her out of school a few days before Thanksgiving to be sure she stayed healthy. Kid I sit for ended up puking shortly after he left my house Tuesday for afternoon preK. So- Curly ended up puking Thanksgiving night. We left for Louisville the next am. Fortunately she bounced back quickly and no one else got sick. She danced great! So now I am thankful to have survived another exhausting dance competition. <br /><br />There is nothing quite like a kitchen upgrade. I picked up a few new cutting boards ladt year- oh, the joy! Who knew?
