    Thanks!! Took it yesterday. I was taking family photos for our Christmas cards. I got all the pics I need, now I have to design the card.... or take the time shortcut and go online and use a template to order the cards. I love sending Christmas cards every year. :bigsmile:

    Our parking deck accomodates approximately 750 cars, I'd say.
    This morning, I believe I saw 50 cars.


    Do you vanpool due to a long commute (time) or just to be thrify (gas) or ..... other reasons?? All of the above?? Just wondering.

    I only live 15 miles from work. It takes me 20 min to get to work and 30 home. When gas prices soared, I re-joined my old van pool. It costs $15 a month to ride in my van and it was costing me $60 to fill up my car each week. The van pool even got a bike rack for me, so I could van to work (with my bike in tow) and bike home. It's a great work out! Now that the weather is bad and gas prices are down...I thought about dropping the van and using the gym at work again, but we'll see. I might be buying a home further from work soon, so I will need to van pool for sure. It'll be 30 min to work and up to an hour home. :cry: If I van pool it'll shave at least 15 minutes on the commute home. Gotta love car pool lanes in rush hour!

    HOV lanes are a HUGE incentive to car pool.

    Dear Lauryn,

    Being that it's a ghost town at work today, you are welcome to leave at 3pm.
    However, before that time, I need you to complete this 10 foot tall pile of work.

    Signed,
    Your Boss





    That is what the email would have said, had my boss emailed it to me. :grumble:

    I'm around...just had a play date with one of my best friends & her little girls. Boys are down for a nap & now I'm working on the baby.

    Love the new pic, Lauryn! I just did my Christmas cards on vistaprint.com. Pretty reasonable prices! Another one I saw was peartreegreetings.com.

    Thanks for those sites! :flowerforyou: I'll have to check them out. I did the usual Walmart and Walgreens and KodakGallery, and so far, I have been highly UNimpressed with their photo card designs this year.

    My husband works for the Walgeens distribution center here & they give us a crazy discount on their cards this time of year, but they're not my style. I'd more of a simple, elegant design chick instead of a Peanuts or Tweety Bird girl. My kids are characters enough, they don't need any help. LOL

    AMAZED at that article.
    People are PIGS.
    To trample an employee.
    Poor guy was only 34, so having a heart attack at that age, I wonder if there weren't other genetic/health dispositions that led to his early demise...
