"God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves... and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." - Romans 8:26-26 MSG
Louis Pasteur - "Fortune favors the prepared mind."

Revisiting the air dry washing option... my favorites are the wall mounted ones like Madison Wall-Mounted Laundry Drying Rack and the Umbrella Style covered ones like Folding Frame Clothesline Waterproof Cover
Insulation tips from Michael Bluejay:
EERE Energy Savers Insulation site - good graph of zones and suggestions of R ratings based on type of ceiling, etc.
DOE Insulation Site
DOE Zip Code Insulation Calculator
R-Value Recommendations for Existing Buildings
Heating System: Natural Gas Furnace
Cooling System: Electric Air Conditioning
First 3 digits of ZIP code: 750
Location: Sherman, TX
Insulation Location R-Value* Notes Attic 49 - Wood frame wall cavity 13 Blow insulation into any uninsulated exterior wall cavity. Floor 19 Over unheated, uninsulated space. Crawl space wall 25 Crawl space walls are only insulated if the crawl space is unvented and the floor above the crawl space is uninsulated. Basement wall interior 11 - Insulative sheathing on empty wall 5 Recommendation assumes that the exterior siding was removed for other purpose, i.e., does not include any consideration of the cost of removing and replacing the exterior siding. Add insulative sheathing to R11 wall 5
* R-values have units of F-ft2-h/Btu. The recommended R-values were produced using the ZIP-Code computer program. The recommendations are based on an analysis of cost effectiveness, using average local energy prices, regional average insulation costs, equipment efficiencies, climate factors, and energy savings for both the heating and cooling seasons.
I'm here. First day back to work since Wednesday. I survived the weekend, parents and sisters got out just fine and back to their busy lives. Got some stuff done around the house but for the most part those activities I could have done alone (or with a little help from BJ), had we known where to begin. :-)
Spent all day doing KT and checking email. Just attended meeting that completely worries me about work issues through Thanksgiving weekend. My feelings for this can best be explained by the monologue in the 1990s cult classic Saved by the Bell in which costar and busybody/perfectionist/way-too-busy-for-her-own good character Jesse Spano played by Elizabeth ____ says: "I'm so excited, I'm so excited... I'm sooooo scared."
I'm Fuh-REAAAAKING out people!!!!

Hey Yall! I had a call from Tracey Hayes, Fashion Editor at Dallas Morning News today and she said they are probably going to be out covering the Project MAKE Fashion Show. (about 80% sure) this weekend. So please be sure you have your garments in on time so we can get them fitted and have enough models to showcase the items, for our hopeful press coverage. ... Thank you so much, this is very exciting and the show is going to be amazing!!!

Let me know if you're able to come so I can keep an eye out for you! I'm going to go early to help with the runway show and eat at Cafe Brazil or some other local restaurant (yum) but you're welcome to carpool with me... I don't plan on staying too long after the runway show :-)
