Though I do have a new digital camera and I’ll take pics!<BR/><BR/>Sula: *g* I think I’m a pretty cool mom too although neither Brent nor Ryan seem to agree. Specially Ryan who thinks I’m a bit of knob at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Dev: Oh they are gorgeous! I got them in white and the entertainment shelves are white – as well as the coffee and end tables. And they would look even better if they had books in them *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Cindy: All those details just take the fun out of things don’t they? I’m like you – I see, I want, and sometimes I just buy. Now Ron, he would have thought to measure the walls.<BR/><BR/>Nath: LOL – they aren’t too tall – they are too wide. The height is just perfect; so much taller than the other ones and able to hold more books. But unfortunately, and this I didn’t really consider, they are much wider too! Too wide to have 3 bookcases and 2 towers all along the same wall. And I’m trying not to think of the other wall…. No – I’ll face that bridge when I come to it.<BR/><BR/>Tumperkin: *sigh* they do grow up before you know it. Happily though – they’ve gotten older, but I haven’t really.<BR/><BR/>Jace: It is funny now. And I was chuckling when I was writing the post. But I wasn’t laughing when I saw how little room there was between the bookcases, knowing I had another one I wanted to fit in between them. Although I’m still hoping that the room somehow grows during the night. But I don’t think that will happen.<BR/><BR/>Katie: Well, if you click on the picture, you can see it bigger. But *laughing* I don’t really recommend it. It really is quite a bad picture. And no – it’s NOT Ryan *g*.<BR/><BR/>Ames: Yes – laughter hides the tears doesn’t it ;) The tears I felt like letting go when I saw my first plans dashed.<BR/><BR/>Christine: Hi there!! And welcome. Now was that one of those double entendres? *laughing* cause talk about positions…….<BR/>And nope – Ryan doesn’t have a webcam. He does have thick eyebrows though. And he spends major time working out so even though this is a very weird thing for a mother to say – he’s in very fine shape.<BR/>And I would so love to find a nice girl for him. He’s kind of, kind of not seeing this girl. She’s playing major head games with him and even though I did like her at one time, the rose is of the bloom for the way she’s treated him lately.<BR/><BR/>Katiebabs: It’s a good thing we have books isn’t it to inform us of what goes on between men and women ;)Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-86507157571639402462007-12-05T15:54:00.000-05:002007-12-05T15:54:00.000-05:00Christie,Your mowing leaves have gone to your head...Christie,<BR/>Your mowing leaves have gone to your head. *G*<BR/>I am nice and virginal, only know about sex from the books I read!<BR/>webcam sounds cool though!KT Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958121742156171756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-28683158926290441902007-12-05T13:25:00.000-05:002007-12-05T13:25:00.000-05:00Hi Kristie!

I think I'll wait until Ryan comes back and helps me *snort* put the rest together and keep my fingers crossed that it will fit if I move the towers somewhere else. If it still doesn't fit - well then I'm really stumped. It messes all my plans! And I'm really in a bit of a panic that the entertainment shelving won't fit. 'Cause they are Really Big! Then Ryan will really shake his head at me and roll his eyes!!<BR/>And the carpet!!! It's all smooched down because the old bookcases were in a bit of a different place. And they were so heavy!! I don't think it will ever 'pop up' again!<BR/><BR/>And yea - I posted a while ago that Ryan tried to shock me by telling me his fantasy was to do a strip tease in a bar. He was actually thinking of doing it to raise money for his rugby club - or so he said. He thought he was shocking me. So when I came home from Dallas with the cowboy hat I simply HAD to shock him back. I told him he had to get himself a leather vest, no shirt, pull the brim down low and do a slow tease for his lady friends to *cough* get them in the mood. He looked at me in horror when I said that and said he couldn't believe his mother would say such a thing to him. Oh how I laughed. Of course in real life, I realize that even though he owns his own house and is single and 27, he is above that kind of thing *snort*<BR/>That's becoming so much fun - shocking him like that.<BR/><BR/>Erica: they are very nice!! And much bigger than the old ones and they will hold a lot more books. But if you do get some may I offer a word of advice? LOL - measure the wall space first.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-18973378036969818572007-12-04T21:58:00.000-05:002007-12-04T21:58:00.000-05:00When I was looking for a condo, where to put the b...When I was looking for a condo, where to put the bookcase was the first thought that I thought. <BR/><BR/>Those bookcases look nice, btw.
