Ooops! I fogot one thing....Thank you, Louisiana Greetings, for the link to your tufa leaf photo. It's gorgeous! I'd love to know what you chose to color the leaf, as it seems to have stayed very vivid and rich. If that's off-topic to this thread, feel free to email me directly! Perhaps if I had access to something that large, the overall scale of the intentional 'defects'created by tufa recipes wouldn't seem so overwhelming to me? The hosta leaf I cast was only about 10" long, and maybe 5" or so wide, so every pit seemed ENORMOUS! LOL! Happy Tufa-ing! - Lisa

Today, Pink got another Get Well Card...from Portugal! Thank you so much Eduarda and T. :) Will post more tomorrow. A lot has happened and I am too upset to write about it right now. Pink was starting to recover and now...thanks to the weekend shift's sloppy work and ignorance, she has gone way down. Can you spell "Herbal Overdose"? Stupid ho's! I would sue them if I thought I could prove it. They are covering their a*ses. More later. Pinkums & I so appreciate your show of love and concern for her. Thanks again for all the beautiful cards. ~Annie

Wow - I didn't think this would lead to general criticisms of the first lady's appearance. Anyway, the photos in the link above are a very limited view compared to what you saw when she walked into the event last night. I just thought that for someone who has I'm sure whatever they need in terms of fashion advice that she would wear something more flattering. I thought it was lovely dress - just not on her. But perhaps she does just wear what she wants regardless of whether or not it is the most flattering choice. Someone mentioned her hair - I thought it looked great. I liked the hair fashion much more than the clothing fashion last night.

@westsider40: I am in the early stages of shopping for cabinets and still trying to nail down what I like. So many details make a fine cabinet - such as toekick drawers, dovetails, inset, fine finishes - but the only things I have to *look* at are pictures in magazines or the cabinet displays at my local big box. That's why I compiled, for myself, the list of cabinet websites that educated my eye and let me pinpoint construction details that I wanted to reproduce in person. After I get my style nailed down, I'll be searching for recommendations as to quality. :-) Unfortunately my tastes are Crown Point and my budget is Conestoga. Being in HotLanta, you'd think I had more options available. While there are fine cabinet shops around, most are open 9-5, M-F, and 10-2 on Saturday. I work full-time and the list of places I have to go that are only open 10-2 on Saturday stretches out a month of Sundays.
