The surname to my dutch side of the family is Vanderveer. I remember my great grandmother Vanderveer and I always thought she was so glamorous and lady like. This is the side of the family that love antiques, history, etc, so I think I have a lot of their genes in me. ;)
Thanks Hadley! That is what my hair has been looking like lately. I am trying to let it grow out and everytime I try and put it in curlers it gets frizzy. I have to try something new because I miss the curl. :( . I think it will start setting again once I get a trim. Another reason why I...
What is your heritage?
The post on cooking got me curious about people's heritage so I figured I would ask this.
I have a good amount of German in me (my mothers father was from Germany), a lot of English and Dutch as well.
I have found myself very curious about my ancestors and tried...
I loved the Devil Wears Prada. Another good series of books if you like humor are the Advertures of a Shopaholic books. They are so funny that I actually laugh out loud. lol . I think the reason I love them so much is because she rationalizes her purchases the same way I do. ;)
I am currently reading Angela's Ashes. I have never read it before because I heard what a depressing book it was and didn't think I could bear it. It is an excellent book but I have had to put it down a couple of times because some parts are so sad. I highly recommend it though.
Speaking of krout, I have a great recipe I make that requires a semi kraut you make yourself. I simmer cabbage with vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and a little ketchup. It cooks for 2 hours and then I fry up some kielbasa and pour that and the cabbage mixture all over bow tie pasta and mix it...
I can't wait to get them. William Powell and Myrna Loy are one of my all time favorite Golden Era couples. The chemistry between them in the movies is wonderful! :eusa_clap
Daisy, that dress is fabulous!! I have never bought from that seller but have been very tempted to. Let us know how it looks.
I was a good girl today and only bought a couple of hats, a dress and a very pretty pink lace blouse that looks very 30's but is current.
This was my favorite...
Whenever I feel guilty I watch that show on BBC America called "How Clean is it". Those people are terrible at cleaning house and I actually get itchy watching some of the episodes. It always gets me cleaning and makes me feel less guilty about my neglected chores. :D
I am the same exact way!! I buy all of these clothes and the most precious get hung up right away on padded hangers. But the rest are in piles on top of dressers, tables, etc. I have been making it a goal to go room by room and throw stuff out, donate it, store it, etc. I then go out and buy...
I detest ironing and usually make more wrinkles than there were originally. [huh]. I keep meaning to buy a steamer but the ones I want are very pricey.
My youngest son loves to wash dishes and does them at least twice a day which is wonderful for me. :)
Well the cat boxes are clean, now...
Daisy, I am sure you are well acquainted w/ Highland Ave. A lot of the students from WPI and Becker hang out there and it is one of the more trendier places in Worcester. I haven't been in that area for a while but was very impressed with the restaurants. I am planning on checking out the...
Okay, I am trying to motivate myself here, but just can't seem to do it. I have to clean the cat litter boxes and wash the kitchen floor and don't like doing either but have to so I have more time for me this weekend.
What is your least favorite chore? For me it's vacuuming. I put it off...
I am with you on that. I am fairly hyper and will sometimes go through spurts where I have a lot of energy and get things done only to crash and need to sleep 7 hours vs. my normal 5 to 6 hours.
Balance is the key and I wind down by reading, watching old movies and doing light housework. I...
Aw, don't feel bad. For every happy couple out there, there is a miserable one to match it. ;).
I am a cynic by nature but also a hopeless romantic so it is kind of a paradox to say the least.
