I hope today was a good sign. First of all, I've been looking for the "right" purse for over a year. I found it today at T.J. Maxx. Second, one of my best friends in the world, Sharon, gave me a set of tongs years ago; one long and short. Well, at one of the numerous catered cocktail parties we've had over the past 8 years, a caterer walked off with them - I called, begged, pleaded - they said they searched their entire kitchen ... but the tongs were gone FOREVER. I lOVED those tongs. What was great was that they stayed closed all the way in the drawer and the mechanism worked by pressing in the end to pop them open - so while cooking and maybe holding something in my left hand, I could manage the tongs in my right by whacking them against my right hip and VOILA they'd pop open! I've purchased many tongs over the last few years, but none were like the origianl Sharon ones (she did find some similar ones that worked ok). Today, I found THE TONGS at T.J. Maxx (6 bucks). I couldn't believe it. I wanted to dance for joy in the store. I have searched high and low, across the internet, in foreign countries ... and found them today in T.J. Maxx. So, if today is an indication of how the year will be - I say YAHOO!!!
Has anyone read "Left Behind?" I'd love to discuss this book for a few minutes.

TJ Maxx is one of my favorite stores (I also really like Marshalls) - glad you found your tongs there (and I'd love to see a photo of them, I can't quite figure them out!)
Glad 2009 is going well for you so far!
Hey, thanks for the tip on Stanley Steemer -- but how I wish you'd told me that before I spent 14 hours hunched over a steamer on my hands and knees! I'm almost done with the cleaning (the hard part, is done anyway) but I still have to find something to seal the grout with.
TJ Maxx and Marshalls are owned by the same company... that's why they both carry like items.
Congrats on finding the tongs. I used to work at TJMaxx and can attest that you can usually find just about anything there, you just have to be patient.
I have read the whole Left Behind series. Am considering re-reading books four through the end because the stuff covered is eerily close to some of the stuff going on in the world today.
I'm fascinated by the book and repelled at the same time! I had an interesting discussion with a student; FACTS that back up us being in the "1000 years" right now (was translated as 1000 years but actually was a "very long period of time"). Freaky!
