		<description>I sometimes wear my robe to the store. It is fluffy, soft and hot pink. I wanted it for years, left many hints and after three robeless Christmases finally gave it to myself. It is one of my favorite things. In it, I feel whole, and completely myself.

If you ever see me shopping in my robe, you *are* getting the best of me.</description>

		<description>For years, I&#039;ve told my kids that I don&#039;t want them to be THE best; I want them to be THEIR best. 

I fall short of my own expectations rather often. But I do want to do better this year.

Thank you for the comments, everyone. I love them. Lesley, I&#039;m cracking up at &quot;special wife&quot;.</description>

		<description>Funny what your saying about having the nice clothes and usually wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. I used to work for other companies nad would sometimes wear a nice suit and at the very least a white dress shirt and tie. Now I also work for myself and from home so I still have a closet full of suites, dress shirts and really nice ties. I can&#039;t tell you when is the last time I wore one of them. If I go to meet a client it is busines casual. Myabe a polo shirt and pair of slacks.

Nice to hear about your friend giving birth. 

Have a great, safe new year! Looking forward to a prosperous 09. ;-)

		<description>I so agree with this.

My mom still needs to learn it though.

She might be getting a little bit better now, but I&#039;m not sure.  Here are the things that stick in my mind:  Her telling my young niece to &#039;save&#039; the nice notepaper she got for her birthday for &#039;something special&#039; when said niece wanted to write a note to grandma on the paper.  What?  Was my niece going to take up a correspondance with the queen or something?  To her there wasn&#039;t anything MORE special than writing a note to grandma.

We&#039;ve also threatened to bury my mom in the crappiest clothes she has since she&#039;s &#039;saving&#039; the &#039;good stuff&#039; and then donate the &#039;good stuff&#039; back to the junk store so some other lady can buy it and save it &#039;for good&#039;.

I&#039;m realizing that I should probably just get a blog of my own since my comments are probably WAY longer than &#039;comments&#039; have a right to be.</description>

		<description>Do you know we got beautiful Wedgewood china for our wedding and great cutlery, and we are not allowed to ever use it.  Yes, truly, we actually just bought new cutlery for everyday use because John has banned the use of our &quot;Wedding&quot; stuff except for special occasions.

We have had one special enough occasion in 7 years.  I have come to the conclusion that he is saving it all for his more &quot;special&quot; wife.</description>
