Hi Karen:

I think you're right. Ashley is so on again off again with BF. I never really cared for him. Not like previous BF who still stays in touch. But I'm letting Ash work it out. I talked to her last night and she sounded fine - so that is what is most important.

The carpet is a light sand coloured berber with flecks of colour, a bit of blue. I wanted a hint of blue since I painted my bedroom that colour. We have 3 bedrooms - Ashley's is small, mine is medium and Brandon's is a good size. I took the medium one when we bought this cottage because it had the nicest closet and was closer to the bathroom than Brandon's. Ashley picked hers because it had a Snoopy waste basket. (OK, she was 8!) Brandon sure never complained about getting the largest one. I'm redecorating them to be a bit more generic. Hers was lacey and flowery, his was bears, deer and wolves. Who knows? Might not change them too much after all.

I'm managing in the total chaos. Found a spot on the table for my laptop since it is cool and cloudy, threatening rain again today.

Have a good one. And Karen - today REALLY is Friday. TGIF!
