Can you eat it? I would have to eat it.

what do you think will happen to the poor unwitting saps who buy this one?

Arghh! Euphorbia! (but where? I cannot see it.) It would have to come with a warning.

I loved these simple containers

Oooh me too. Lovely I really like the third pic too. Stuff all jumbled up together makes me want to go exploring for treasure.

DJ, if I knew you were coming, I would have cleaned up a bit. As you will notice, I haven't uploaded to a lot of the albums - sorry. I should at least get the roses up...add that to the list.

I like that too but somehow, when I do it, it just doesn't come off like that.

LOL! I'm wondering if you're not the only one, but I don't see any Skittles in it... LOL!

I can only imagine. Scary. Seems like a very nice bouquet to give to someone you don't like... keeps 'em guessing.

ROFL!! I suppose I should have called first, but the door was unlocked so I just let myself in. LOL! In any case, I enjoyed my visit and I did not notice any messes. It's so hard to browse through things like that and not come away "needing" more garden plants. LOL!

Valentines day soon.

A little something for the love of your life if he likes cooking. If not you could get him to buy it for you!

Aaawww, how cute! Too bad it doesn't come with the dinner already made. LOL!

My husband's birthday is on Valentine's Day, and since he doesn't believe in celebrating birthdays or holidays for adults, it's pretty much like every other day... so food-in-a-box would be nice. LOL.

I didn't think Le Creuset did cutesy. Bet it weighs more than my car.
But really, I like Le Creuset and I probably would have had the whole set if I could lift a pan.

LOL! That would be a far better present wouldn't it.

As Lisa said "Bah humbug!" Does that mean you get nothing on your birthday either?
Loretta wrote on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 05:29 pm:

Neither did I. I was looking for inspiration for valentines day and came across it on a website between the Karmasutra and Jessica rabbit! .....and no I am not intending to get those either.

ROFL! Yeah who needs the gym when you own Creuset.

Don't they also have a pumpkin and an eggplant? Maybe that was just a figment of my imagination.

I did before we were married (his version of false advertising, apparently). This is the first time in a long time that I got anything (a printer) for my birthday, and it was only because my old printer was completely incompatible with my new computer -- which he gave to me for Christmas because my parents were here. Hahaha! (Actually, I had asked him if he could go to NY that weekend and he agreed. Then he asked why I wanted him to leave and I said it was because I wanted to have a nice birthday for once. He came home with the printer the next day.)

I guess I should explain that he doesn't believe in celebrating those things because he thinks that birthdays and holidays are just for little kids and that people should appreciate each other every day. He obviously has difficulty with the second half of that equation. LOL!

It is a better arrangement anyway to buy your own presents. That way you get what you want and you don't have to find a place for things you don't want.

My husband and I don't always exchange presents, either. If a good idea comes up, we do but otherwise, we have what we need. As far as Xmas, there are so many children in the family, we just do them. We all decided we could do without the added stress of shopping for a lot of adults who don't want anything. Getting together is enough and the kids are the magic anyway.

Oh, that looks much more comfy than my swing (which, by the way needs a sanding & refinishing job...grrr. I am thinking about just painting it this time around)

Thats me!!! Just call me Peter Pan lol!
Truthfully though we do not do proper presents anymore but I do give him his favourite sweeties (lemon bonbons) and he gets me licorice allsorts or haribo...YUM!
I am still trying to work out why you said all that in little writing lol...very quietly

Isn't that just divine darling! The white one looks the nicest too and those double rocking chairs are georgous too just a shame about the price...wonder if I could whittle one?

Really. I don't understand why they have to be so expensive. Looks whittable, doesn't it?

Ahh, guilt can work wonders. But it looks like his heart is in the right place.

Oh yeah! Apparently, they have a whole salad going on. Cute.

Very charming. A little girlie, but I like it anyway. I've been wanting some lawn chairs and I think that style might actually look cute with the house. I even like the little storage bench. I've never seen any Adirondacks that expensive, though. I like regular Adirondacks well enough, but they just seem a little dull. Will have to see if I can make one of these myself. I could really chick up the house and make window boxes to match. LOL!

Haha! That IS cute. Did you notice their berry casseroles? Oh, and their artichoke? They're cute, too.

Yeah, it definitely says Grandma's House but I like that. A lot of andirondak style furniture is dull and if it isn't, it's overpriced. I think there is a niche there.
