oops forgot to add

When hubby and I were just dating/engaged he got me a Kitchen Aid mixer, some of his coworkers told him that it would be a terrible Christmas gift. That I would be testing him or something like that. I'm so glad he didn't listen to them I love it,and use it all the time. I guess I'm not like some women and think that would of been a bad gift.

Where do you guys live? I can find mason jars at Walmart or Target all year long.

The question is.... where do YOU live?! I, apparently, live in a place where no one does canning.

I think my main problem with the ground almonds was that I never thought to call it "flour", so now I know how to find it. I'm sure it's here somewhere.

I'm with you. I love sexy appliances for Christmas gifts. My husband seems to be one of those men who think it's inappropriate and too impersonal to give gifts like that at Christmas and birthdays. What could be more personal than sexy appliances that I purr over? lol. It can get a bit frustrating when I'm giving gifts, but works in my favour when getting gifts since he'll buy me those just because. lol

Amazon.com has mason jars!! So does Walmart. They will ship FREE to a store, or to ur house (for a fee) I'm not a Huge Walamrt fan, but they ship to a DPO so does amazon, they are a life saver

[Krikit 1,163]

I checked Amazon and will use them as a last resort. Never thought of checking Walmart.com, though. Thanks!

Holy smokes. Is it me or are the Walmart jars pretty pricey? I may have to add them to my Canada shopping list. lol

[Flames9_RN 358]

My mother has tons of those jars! Those farm girls love to can! Could try Ebay as well! A few yrs back they were going to stop making those jars and there was a huge uproar, that they continued to make them. Target has them as well

[Krikit 1,163]

I'm going to have to start asking for my jars back. lol

Ok well I'm not sure if this would be a vent I think its more of annoyance then anything else. I am to chicken to cut my hair it's been like this for ever. Now don't get me wrong I have cut it over the last umm way to many years to say, two feet here, 3 feet there and few inches here that sorta thing. So it is always about the same and I'm tired of it but I'm scare to death to change it. i don't know what I want I don't think I want to cut it all off and have it real short, I had it that way before for a lot of years. So anyways I'm just frustrated with myself cause I can't make up my mind. Anyone else get stuck like this?

Yep, I go back and forth through phases, the same way I do with dying my hair or wearing makeup. There's always that adjustment period with a new short cut. Ie. Getting used to the hubby breathing on your neck while you sleep. I just tell myself it'll grow back and do the chop. If I get bored, it comes back and I can play with some med-length hairstyles while it grows back.

Do eeeeet! Merry Christmas to yourself! Don't cut it all off and go Susan Powter or anything (that will confuse the baby ), but go for below the shoulder or something and do some long layers. Consider growing your bangs out with the slightly shorter style. I had bangs since grade 6 and I thought I needed them with my massive forehead (size of Texas I tell you) but it turns out I can pull off no bangs. I never would have thought but I currently have a Jennifer Aniston vibe going and I'm liking it.

Its only hair, you can always grow more

I say go for it....if you don't like it, it grows back!! And you could donate to locks of love (or some place similar) and provide someone with a much needed wig....how great of a christmas present would that be for someone!!
