cascogirl Im into a book like that right now! It has taken me well over 6 weeks, and usually a novel only takes me about a week or 2 - as I only read a bit at night before bed or on my lunch break. Before I had my daughter I would get through a book in 2 days! I never...

cascogirl Hey Patty we have 2 jack russel terriers, Ben and Jerry. They are 3 years old now and are still full of energy! My daughter loves tormenting them and they tolerate her well. Maybe in a year or two you could get Jadzi, after things have settled down with...

cascogirl Yes, if you are active all yourlife than it is just a part of your day, and motivation isnt needed as badly. I grew up in a fairly active household as well, and we were encouraged to try new activities as children. I guess that has helped keep me open minded...

cascogirl Your nephews wedding sounded very nice! Was the ship docked in port or was it actually out in the water somewhere? And the potluck idea is very savvy! All the family favourites meals would be there, no one could complain they didnt like the food!
