However, I'm just lucky that the Christmas decorations have been taken down by now. I love to decorate for holidays but by the time I get all of the decorations up & think about having to take them down again, ... http://blingonashoestringjewelry.com/blog2/2008/02/09/do-you-decorate-for-valentines-day/ I would love to be posting about the new/old version of Trading Spaces. However, instead I have to post about how Douglas Wilson is a jerk. I was wondering about how they would bring Paige Davis back. Would they just act like she'd never been forced off the show?

I've decided to try being a dofollower. This means that when you leave a certain number of thoughtful, relevant comments, you'll get a link to your ... http://blingonashoestringjewelry.com/blog2/2008/01/21/this-blog-is-now-dofollow/ The previews for the new season of Trading Season announce that Paige Davis is back. She looks the same, except she has a mullet now. They are also touting her as a designer. Can we say uh oh? My immediate thought was, great now the show can get back to ... http://blingonashoestringjewelry.com/blog2/2008/01/18/paige-davis-is-back/ It used to be that sending a thank you note after receiving a gift was a given. At least, that's the way I think it used to be. I don't know a lot of people my age that send thank you notes.
