I like #7. Can I be a recipiant? Just a suggestion….get a bunch of cards, sign them and address them to those you know you would send them to, and put stamps on them. Then when you feel the need to send them out just add a quick few lines and it’s done! Saves time when life is busy and by putting the stamps on them already your more likely to send them so you won’t waste the stamp! Works for me! Have already addressed the Valentines to the great neices and nephews!

This is a great list!! Even just talking about giving and receiving hand written cards makes everyone smile I have lots of cards at home…just waiting to be sent Let’s see who does it first!

You definitely need more movies, and dare I also suggest girly movie dates with ME?! haha

PS Do you find it just so strange that our husbands who share the same birthdate also share their love of When Harry Met Sally?

I have found joy in sending cards to 4 pre-schoolers and to 3 special friends who live out of state…and to my sons and daughters-in-law.

So, hurry and GO (physically) to the Hallmark store and browse; join the Hallmark rewards club and when you get the first coupon, you’ll be hooked.

Postcards are always a big hit! I like the black and white ones of older movie stars, musicans or artists. Buy a bunch and send one when you are thinking of that person. It gives them a laugh and something they can display and share.

Pictures! More Pictures! tangible stuff we can hold and hold and hold.

At some point, later in the week, Ocean’s 13 is on TV. Record it. Is dam funny.

I love the camera thing. Am trying to remember the last time I did that. Real pictures. Sigh.

When Harry Met Sally, as soon as possible. I promise to not recite every line. (But I will recite some. Especially the poppycosh line.)

Very cool! I love the novels of Pearl Cleage, and I think you may, too. Her first is “What looks like crazy on an ordinary day”. It was an Oprah selection, so there are plenty of used & library copies out there.
I’ve read several of her others, too. They are kind of fairy tales for the modern African-American woman, IMO. I really love them.

I’d like to try more recipes, and send more cards, too.

We have some Dracaena ‘trees’ [kind of palm-ish] in our house and they are quite sturdy and really thrive, and you can find a few varieties at many regular stores, eg, OSH, Target, home stores, garden stores; about $20- for a pretty big grouping of …stalks? trunks? We’ve had ours for years now, and they are really great.

Farmer’s market is something I’d like to do, too…I just not usually up early enough for it. Y’know, being a sans-kids nightowl work-from-home person.

Have fun & good blogging! [& living!]

I love this idea! Makes me think I should dust off my blog and do something similar! Thank you for the inspiration!

Not sure this will work, so I am likely to comment tomorrow. Am too wordy. Shocker, I know. Anyway, I hear the Time Travelers Wife is a great book. Snort. Also, I like the blogging more. Is good plan. Oh the book I read in Vegas was Rise and Shine by anna quinlan. Loved it. Truly.
