pholdermomof3 You could make a rag quit. Google it and you will find a lot of info. I am not crafty and I made one. I should have started with one baby sized but I started with one to fit a queen size bed. They are really cute. You can also make rag purses.

What do you think about Mississippi?

pholdermomof3 @pholdermomof3 (214) • United States 5 Jun 10

I live in Northeast MS. Mississippi is always getting bad press. We are the fattest state, we are the last in education, and the latest was a school that wouldn't let a lesiban go to the prom dressed in a tux. The prom ordeal has...

Yay! New 5K PR!

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 8 May 10

I didn't run a flat 26 minute 5K like I wanted to, but considering the cold, I think coming in a little over 30 seconds over that is pretty good. Especially since that's still a PR by over a minute. Now I'll have to run another...

Anyone finds trouble sleeping in absolutely quiet places?

raisen90 @raisen90 (2) • Argentina 5 Jun 10

Maybe it's beacuse I've been living all my life next to a constantly noisy avenue, but I just can't sleep when I'm in a quiet place(last year I went camping in the mountains, didn't sleep at all). Anyone has the same problem?...

pholdermomof3 We sleep with a humidifier running in our room. If it is not running I can't go to sleep very well. If we are staying in a hotel I sleep pretty good unless there is a lot of noise.
