Wowzer Mikki. I just can't imagine that at all. I am in the wrong business. I need to sell items to those types of people.
I'm totally with Jan.
WOW! Did you hear that Obama's inauguration party cost a mere $120 mill? Not sure if that's right, but come on!
Happy late Birthday! Yay for a pedicure! You should've come with us on Saturday!
That's crazy!
You said you were interested in freezer meals--I'm no expert, but if you check out Mrs. Pear's archives, she has tons of recipes and advice.

seriously crazy! one of the many things i don't understand. i will never understand how there can be some people in this world that make 100 billion zillion dollars for shooting a basketball and then people who don't know where they'll get the next meal for their kids. simply unfair, and it infuriates me!
that is so insane! i saw that on the news and i was like OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! i just can't believe he would have the nerve to do that. what makes him think that it is ok?
I guess they don't shop at Target! LOL!
Makes me sick.
Reason #456 that I don't watch the news-I don't take enough blood pressure medicine to cover that kind of stress!
My first thought was to wonder what the interior designer's commission was on these items. He seems to be as much a thief as Thain.

Ugh. I caught the tail end of this too. Can you believe it.
I can't watch to much tv now adays..it's just to depressing. I like living in my la la world most of the time. Where people don't spend money on TRASH like this.. LOL
Yikes! That is some out of this world spending to redecorate.
Holy cow, that is just crazy!!! I can't even imagine.
