Incidentally, I thought "lagniappe" meant crab meat and crawfish tails in a sinfully delicious cream sauce to be poured over blackened fish. So I guess you learn something new every day!

That helps. I'm sure they'll be fine. Senusality - eh - there's some of that in every book (including Judy Blume!) Heck, I read the Flowers in the Attic series when I was her age and I turned out okay!! Against all odds!<BR/><BR/>Also, I can see you are not pursuing adoption and I'm not trying to push you in that direction. I only meant to use the example to encourage you on your wait. <BR/>I'm sure it's no consolation at all. <BR/><BR/>In fact, I know how you feel because when I bemoan my childless, perimenapausal, unmarried status people always tell me I can adopt. Um. I know.<BR/>Funny thing is - despite the fact that I would encourage any parent to adopt - and even told a guy friend of mine who doesn't want to marry someone his age (my age) becasue he still wants to have <B> his own </B> kids... "What makes your gene pool so special?"<BR/>Ha. anyway despite that - even I want to try having my own kids because 1) I really want the experience of pregancy 2) I have <B>no</B> blood family in my life, and I'd like to know <B> one </B> person who is.<BR/><BR/>Selfish maybe - but I'm saying I understand. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to hijack again.TRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801686710086039781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-54729195463500869952008-12-10T02:00:00.000-06:002008-12-10T02:00:00.000-06:00Wow... what a greata and productive Thanksgiving.T...Wow... what a greata and productive Thanksgiving.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog. Sweet to hear from you.<BR/><BR/>Question for you - My niece (14 years old, HS Freshman) asked for the Twilight series for Christmas. I found all four on Amazon and they just arrived today! I don't have time to read them - is there anything inappropriate in the books for a girl her age?<BR/>From what I've heard, it's a rather wholesome series. Can you verify for me since you read them?TRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801686710086039781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-42924273942577223882008-12-09T15:17:00.000-06:002008-12-09T15:17:00.000-06:00Oh, we missed your posts so much!

It's amazing how many people out there never eat it! My in-laws have just discovered the joys of rice and keep asking me how to make it and what kind of rice cooker I have. lol<BR/><BR/>I felt the same way about Twilight. It was good, just not as good as I thought it should be. I want to see it again when it comes on on DVD to see if I like it more the second time around. I really want to see Australia, the previews look really good!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're back and glad you had a good time!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697202003716416028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897573703113153506.post-39963595847869105312008-12-09T11:42:00.000-06:002008-12-09T11:42:00.000-06:00I'm actually tearing up a little.

Even though I'm not from there, I totally knew what lagniappe meant but I didn't know how it was pronounced. I feel a sense of pride knowing that! hehe.<BR/><BR/>I totally saw Twilight and loved it. I haven't read the books yet though. <BR/><BR/>It's snowing here AGAIN like crazy. How warm was it in Louisiana? It's ok, I've prepared myself for more salt in the wound. :) P.S. Your grandma's sister totally looks Southern to me for some reason. Like very beautiful but very inviting as well.
