Rosie~ Although I am tempted for this Sunday I really shouldn't, cause they are coming to refinish the floors the next day (again, cause they were a no show last Monday) . That means I have to put up all the plastic covers, mark the floor, go to the grocery store, get ice (to put some food in a cooler), bring in the cat/dog food, litter box etc. to prepare for all 6 of us to be holed up in our bedroom for 24 hours! I AM tempted...

All these pictures of kitties and puglets are sooo cute!!!

LOL Jinksy ... say, those slippers sure look cute on you...maybe you should get another pair in a different color? Perhaps the aqua ice/midnight to match one of the puglets' capes? hee hee

Ok...so I thought I would create a folder for myself so it would be easier for meeting messages...what i didn't know was that it doesn't automatically put itself in alphabetical order! So I am in the C section! I tried to delete and even though it has not been 10 minutes it won't let me delete.....so can a mod please delete me so I can place it in the right section or move it for me...thanks.

Anyone Italian? I am...my Italian friend just sent me this and it made me laugh!

Sunday Dinner for Italians....

Italians have a $40,000. kitchen, but use the $259 stove from Sears in the basement to cook.

There is some sort of religious statue in the hallway, living room, bedroom, front porch and backyard.

The living room is filled with old wedding favors with poofy net bows and stale almond (they are too pretty to open).

A portrait of the Pope and Frank Sinatra in the dining room.

God forbid if anyone EVER attempted to eat Chef Boy-are-Dee, Franco American, Ragu, Prego or anything else in a jar or can (tomato paste is the exception).

Meatballs are made with Pork, Veal and Beef. We are Italians, we don't care about cholesterol.

Turkey is served on Thanksgiving, AFTER the manicotti, gnocchi, lasagna and soup.

If anyone EVER says ES-CAROLE, slap 'em in the face -- it's SHCAROLE! .

If they ever say ITALIAN WEDDING SO! UP, let the idiot know that there is no wedding, nor is there an Italian in the soup. Also, the tiny meatballs must be made by hand.

No matter how hard you know you were going to get smacked, you still came home from church after communion, you stuck half a loaf of bread in the sauce pot, snuck out a fried meatball and chowed down you'll make up for it next week at confession.

Sunday dinner was at 1:00. The meal went like this ...Table is set with everyday dishes...doesn't matter if they don't match...they're clean, What more do you want?
All the utensils go on the right side of the plate and the napkin goes on the left. Put a clean kitchen towel at Nonna & Papa's plate because they won't use napkins. Homemade wine and bottles of 7up are on the table. First course, Antipasto...change plates. Next,Macaroni (Nonna called all spaghetti Macaroni)...change plates. After that, Roasted Meats, Roasted Potatoes, Over-cooked Vegetables... change plates.

THEN and only then (NEVER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEAL) would you eat the salad (HOMEMADE OIL & VINEGAR DRESSING ONLY)...change plates.

Next, Fruit & Nuts - in the shell (on paper plates because you ran out of the other ones).
Coffee with Anisette (Espresso for Nonna, "Merican" coffee for the rest) with hard Cookies (Biscottis) to dip in the coffee. The kids go play... the men go to lay down. They slept so soundly you could perform brain surgery on them without anaesthesia.. the women clean the kitchen.

Getting screamed at by Mom or Nonna - half the sentence was English, the other half Italian.

Italian mothers never threw a baseball in their life, but can nail you in the head with a shoe thrown from the kitchen While you're in the living room.

Prom Dress that Zia Ceserina made you... $20.00 for material. Prom hair-do from Cousin Angela... $Free. Turning around at prom to see your entire
family (including Gdparents) standing in the back of the gym... PRICELESS!

The true Italians will love this, those of you who are married to Italians will understand this, and those of you who are friends with Italians will remember and will forward it to their Italian friends

ROFL Since!!! I'm Italian by association AND OSMOSIS!!!! I grew up in an Italian town and we were one of maybe 2 families in our tract whose name didn't end with a vowel who DIDN'T CHANGE IT to AMERICANIZE IT!!! Yeah..Barr - Barrvechio, Masters - Mastersimone (Master-si-mO-nee!), I think you get the idea - anyway, we were like the non-Italian adoptees who had to be TAUGHT all things Italian, just because!! My mom had the best sauce in the neighborhood since she took the best from all the other neighbors' recipes! LOL I LOVED going to Sunday dinner at my friend's house. The girls ALL chipped in and making the salad with our own seasonings with the oil and vinegar was the BEST!! They did forget to say that Wednesday was left-over sauce night! I mean, who wrote this list??!!! LOL I was the envy of the neighborhood when in the summer after my soph year in HS, I spent 5 wks in Italy on a student trip! Take THAT real Italians!!! The funniest part was, talking to "Italy Italians" and using the "Italian" slang we used here which had them rolling on the floor laughing!! They never heard of people using those words in that way and here, it was an every other word used word - kind of like geeeeze... you know... geeeze they did that.. only insert word no Italian in Italy would use! heheh The guys who worked the cafeteria line where we stayed for 3 wks would say "More SAUCA!!! MORE SAUCA!!," whenever they saw my GF and I in line. Now I eat it like they do - just a dab of sauce unlike my youth! LOL Oh and having to have my GF's mom read the letters I anxiously awaited from young men I met there have to READ THEM to me was SO embarrassing! I was so thrilled to get the letter and then it was in Italian!! GAH!! LOL I don't use my "Italian slang" anymore since it's not so common just on the other side of the river where I live now, but when I talk to someone who does, I'm right back there! hahaha

Was it curiosity that killed the cat or the Cozy Chic Owner?

I think it's a bit of both Joely!!! Miss Misha was trying to get into that box last night and my son was yelling at her to get down. I said NOTHING nothing about wearing the thing the night before!

Yep, Joely! And.. she's got even MORE to be curious about now! MY ROBE JUST GOT DELIVERED!!!! Even the dog came into the room and wondered what all the fuss was about! I sit here in my new baby blue robe!!! Yes, I do have to put it back after a while, but I can wear it for a while! LOL Good thing I know where I'm putting MY gifts, eh?!!! LOL

I have a question for you Joely. I had to get out the cocoa robe for DD because when I put this blue one on I was thinking there wasn't that much difference between the two so I did check and it is longer but it looked like the sleeves were longer on the cocoa. After putting the cocoa on and then the blue, the sleeves are definitely longer on the blue but the cocoa one has really belled sleeves compared to the blue. Now I think the blue is in maybe "better" brand-new condition - if that makes sense?!! It still has a thread pack inside of it where the brown doesn't - not that I noticed anyway! Anyway, was there a change in the robes from lots or is there a difference in colors..or.. is it just a difference in condition? Hope that wasn't TOO confusing! LOL

The big surprise was - I thought when the mail carrier knocked on the door he was bringing my other DDs robe since I paid for that one the day before, but it was MINE, MINE, MINE!!!! LOL I am looking forward to seeing the other robe (stone/taupe) since it was listed as still w/tags and in the plastic bag so I'll actually see one that comes with that ribbon! :-)

Yet another seller from AZ... I think they need to start carrying this stuff in some stores that aren't just close to NYC for NY state. The last seller from AZ said they didn't use them too much because it was so warm there. No so here! It's a winter wonderland! LOL

Well, she was ALL OVER the box it came in and since I have it on and I think she found a heater to lay down by (probably behind my bedroom door) she's not trying to munch yet. LOL

peeking in to say Hello...and to "toot" joely's horn--as busy as she is right now - she caught a typo in my address on an order i sent to her last nite -- amazing ....

Joely -- got my tracking number today and just wanted to make sure your billing it to "jeanne" rather than Lindsay...or does that make a difference?

Watching~ I did grow up in Italy so I know what you mean about the difference between Italians in Italy and here. Both are very attached to family and I do miss that!

As far as the differences in the robe sizing. I have to say that honestly BD has an interesting sizing thing going on. I know there are differences in the hoodies from all the talk on the threads. I found that the robes are similarly fraught with the same problems. Years ago when I got my first CC robe from Nordstrom (before Janie and BB6) I tried on all the robes in size 1 and 2 that they had on their rack...only to find that they all differed! Even between colors. Later when I ordered one on line it had a different cut and fit too. Again when I got the hooded one the sizing and cut was different. The pink one had really long sleeves that were totally more belled, the fit was less generous around the middle. The white was longer and the sleeves were not so belled, the fit more generous around the middle. The espresso hooded sleeves are hardly belled and do not need to be rolled up at all, the robe is is longer than the other two and the fit is really generous around the middle. The espresso is also of a different "knit" than the other two. They are all very soft and comfy but all different. Since I noticed the same was being said about the hoodies I figure this is something that is similar with all BD adult sizing.

If they start making bras as we have requested...they better be sure to make both cups the same size!!LOL!

Yes, their sizing is weird. The robe I got today is a size 2 (which should be ample on me). It barely meets in the middle. They really need to get it together with their sizing.

I just heard a GREAT version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" on the radio. Natalie Grant - anyone familiar with her?

I just sampled the song, she's in the Inspirational genre at iTunes. What a voice!

Hey everyone- thought I would make a quick drive by posting- I am freakin 'busy trying to get every wedding edited so I can turn my attention to Christmas! Last I was here my delinquent kitty had massacred the cozy chic sample pack. Now she is attacking all the wrapping paper rolls.

I'll be around more as soon as I do two more weddings- i have done 7 in the last two weeks.

hugs to you all!

p.s. my Nordstrom hooded robe does fit but it is not the same size as my 3 from Joely. I was allowed to try it on before it was whisked away for Christmas.

OK, so I got my blankets delivered here today, and they are AMAZING. Better than robes.

I don't have time to write much, but I just wanted to pop in and tell everyone to order themselves a twin or king blanket. Wrap yourself up in luxury!!

Ahhhhh...........
