A bit, but your lips are shaped differently, your cheeks are less full, the cheekbones are angled differently and your neck and shoulders are way different than hers.

You're both v. pretty women, though.

Skylanders Wii: I am researching the cheapest price. Anyone?

Erin - the best price I am finding is amazon, but not sure if shipping is free or not.

I'm with Erin (and Tom's picture he linked to where she does look more like you but maybe only because I've seen a picture of you in pretty much the same pose). There is a similarity, but her cheeks are rounder. And you have freckles.

I have to say in defense of my brother that I do know that when I absolutely need him he will be there for me in a way that my other brother is not.

However, I have also thought that not wanting to pick me up is the excuse he gave me for maybe something not totally in his control. (Because I could have taken a cab from the train station but his voice was so final I didn't feel like I could offer that suggestion.)

And thank you for the blessings on my friends - they totally deserve them. And they are my second and yet more trustworthy family. It makes me sad that I don't have that relationship with my family by blood.

It think having chosen family says more about you, though -- a great blood family is luck.

Yes, what Jesse said!

Underlined, with an exclamation point.

Target has the same price as Amazon, and it's in the same mall as the Eyemaster's -- we have to go see if they can fix M's glasses today, and I can only find the Belgian waffle mix I like at Target.

Plus, I got a Target gift card from my MIL, so I wanna see if I can find some sexy shoes that will work with my NYE dress.

Then it's grocery store, making chili, homework before any more play (seriously? A 13 page pack of math homework, 3 1 page book reports on chapter books (not WHOLE books; just what he's read) with rough drafts, and final drafts in cursive, over XMANAKKAH?! for 3rd GRADE?! WTFever -- and I'm an ex-teacher...) and then starting to do laundry and put away the Xmas gifties.

Sumi, I take back the nad jab. Maybe he was caught up in a tough sitch.

That's too much. More and more research is showing that this kind of homework is (a) not helpful; (b) incredibly burdensome on home family life. Emmett probably had more homework in 3rd grade than at any other point in his life.

the shift in homework with the move to Texas has been really great for homelike. Of course, I think here it is not enough, but in NYC it was way too much and not effective at all IMHO.

I am still in bed. I really need to motivate. BUT, I did pay bills and correct some stuff in my mint account, so at least it hasn't been all fb games all morning.

I expect to be updating with a done list as the day goes on since it makes me feel more productive to tell you all.
