<p>I got a dollhouse! Really…one of those super-duper ones, w/lights that turn on & off and everything…actually, my uncle makes them as a hobby; I bought the kit; he made the dollhouse. It’s a thing of beauty. Now I get to furnish it. </p>
<p>Approximate cost will at least equal a year of college tuition (sigh)…
might take a mortgage life to do it!</p>
<p>Is there a message in this reversion to childhood???</p>
<p>overanxious mother, This is something I think about. Do you by chance have only sons?</p>
<p>Only one son…and a super one at that…but I did miss a lot in terms of dolls, and dollhouses, and prom dresses, etc!</p>
<p>wow mootmom and garland …writing novels. I’m so impressed. Do you get ideas for characters from CC? And mootmom even has time to change the garage doors.</p>
<p>Hmmmm, a dollhouse, I still have my old one (a big one) from childhood stored away with the hopes of reconditioning it someday. As for us, we dropped S. at college one day, then the next took off for a long weekend at the Outer Banks, NC. I called him on our way out of town to let him know a package was in the mail and “oh, by the way, did I tell you we were going to the Outer Banks?”. Guess I had forgotten! Glad we got there before Ophelia. What else? I’ve taken on a coordinator position that I had refused to do a year ago, and we’re looking at actually building that lakeside house afterall. Empty nest has its merits.
p.s. DSW=Discount Shoe Warehouse. Big, lots of choices, decent prices, I love it!</p>
<p>Andi–be impressed when they’re published ( or at least finished, or have, say, a plot, or direction of some sort. or…)</p>
<p>Firsttime mom, What a good idea for a post. It’s fun reading everyone’s plans! Impressive too!</p>
<p>I’m working more than full-time trying to pay tuition. Does that count as fun? And I’ve got a junior at home. So, I’ll be working for the next 6 years, maybe 2 jobs when the last one leaves home, then I plan to retire (or is that collapse) and garden and wait for a granddaughter. I might even get her a dollhouse.</p>
<p>By the time my oldest is ready to leave for college, I’ll probably be treating myself to a subscription renewal to Modern Maturity.</p>
