Glad to see you back my friend! Sounds like you need to find a good park in the area where the boys can run and be noisy. I know someone who has a decent backyard about an hour and a half up the road. Oh, and there's someone for Kevin to talk to and someone for you to talk to, too.;) wink. <BR/>Hope you can settle into a new routine soon and things calm down for you. <BR/>I love your rug. I should take some of J's old t-shirts and do that. Only it would pretty much be a gray rug as that is just about the only color t-shirt he wil wear. Honestly I don't think it is any more wonky than the one I bought for my bathroom after it had been washed a few times. That is just sort of how these rugs are. What size hook did you use and how wide were the strips?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550898784150290708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-42533585112972615942007-07-03T07:12:00.000-05:002007-07-03T07:12:00.000-05:00The rug looks great!I had to say something about d...The rug looks great!<BR/><BR/>I had to say something about driving through Chicago! Because you deserve HUGE congratulations for that! I live downstate and I can manage the suburbs and once made it to Midway, but wow - I dread the day I will have to drive through the city! I'm the same way - when I'm in the city and someone ELSE is driving I often put my head in my hands and wait till we're parked :)Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529250478920225750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-7075061131610895852007-07-03T07:02:00.000-05:002007-07-03T07:02:00.000-05:00I'm so glad to hear that you made it through Chica...I'm so glad to hear that you made it through Chicago!

In fact, I just used old 4th of July Old Navy tshirts to cover pillow forms for decorations and they turned out pretty cute!<BR/>I look forward to checking back with you again soon.
