Hi hi - day got away from me, even though I also didn't really sleep last night. We are all ready for Friday here. I had a big presentation yesterday that went pretty well, so I'm relieved that's over. mwhip I got my Norwex and I'm liking it! I thought I got the kitchen towels, but apparently ordered the dish ones you recommended. I havent tried them yet. How often do I have to actually wash the envirocloth? I was wiping the kitchen down with it last night and then rinsing with hot water. Can I use it again today? |

Hi! Today I found out my oldest is currently failing math, you know like in the school where I work- as a math teacher. Of course he has a big exam next week but I’m going away for the weekend. I also got a letter from school about his attendance (he’s been out only 4 days all year, saying they haven’t been able to reach me (also the school I work at). He and MH are at the Devils game where he was getting to participate in a shoot out between periods. I toyed with making him miss it but I let him go. MH invited my dad last minute after not taking to him for the last 13 months so that was interesting. I took the other 3 to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get shower gifts for my friend whose wedding DD and I are in. That was a shit show of course because C was a maniac and they couldn’t find something I needed and then the stuff didn’t come off the registry. Tomorrow night I leave for my girl’s weekend/polar bear plunge. I stuck 3 fingers in the ocean Sunday and they almost fell off so good luck to me!

I spent a lot of time at the Catskills in my youth. It was always a lot of fun bc we went with a huge group of people (relatives and my parents friends). Did you stay at one of the resorts in the80s? We always stayed at Grosingers. My dad had work conventions and we’d tag along. My brother and I were friends with all the kids who went year after year. It was a good time. |

Yes, meeting up with the same people year after year was always super fun. I had a little summer fling with a waiter the summer between junior and senior year of high school. I also think I saw the old grossingers the last i was neat there in November. It’s pretty close to the new waterpark right? |

tgrimes , I’m a little more than half way through The Stranger. It’s so intense. I’m having a hard time piecing it all together, so it certainly has me hooked! ETA: literally just figured something out! Exciting! I just finished this last night! It was intense. I enjoyed it! I apparently need to get tgrimes Netflix list because I seem to enjoy all her recommendations. I started Locke & Key last night. |

I tend to wash all my stuff weekly. I just throw it in a pile in the laundry room. And because I have so much of it, I have a load weekly. So yes, you can totally use it again today! I'd say use it for a week or so, then toss it in the wash! I'm glad you like everything! Are you on FB? If so, I have a group I could add you do that has information about all the products. And I swear, I'm not a pushy sales person. I really just like the product! |

I’m picturing those summer vacations in the Catskills as the ones from dirty dancing... and that includes the fabulous dresses and hairdos   |

I was disappointed in the ending to The Stranger. It felt like a cop out.

It was recommended from people at work, and came up next after The Stranger. I'll continue to watch. But unlike klong11 I did find bits of it creepy. The girl at the bottom of the well and the mirror both creeped me out a bit. I wouldn't watch it with Evie. |

I honestly haven't been since I was probably a young teen (maybe like 13ish - so like 30 + years ago!) So honestly I don't remember. But I think I had heard it had re-opened. |

Yes! I totally have to go back and find my pictures of these ridiculous dinners called Roman night and Caesars night with all kinds of costumes and craziness. |
