I can only say I'm still shocked and horrified beyond belief. Everytime I think about it or read about it, I start to cry. I imagine any one of my nieces or nephews and I can't bear the thought of the families and parents and children there. I was also just at my nephew's school on Wednesday. They have it in general lockdown mode after a weird man was found wandering inside the school a few years back. Even so, I now wonder what can we do? Metal detectors and security guards at doors? I was never afraid to go to school as a kid, never. Bah. So sad.<br /><br />On a lighter note, your cat sounds adorable! We have yet to get a tree because...we are out of lights! I used them all outside and now...most stores we've been to are out. Why buy a tree without lights? I should probably just buy a fake one after the holidays..but for now..I have bulbs in bowls and Martha Stewart purple ribbon adorning various things..<br /><br />Good for you on the drink. I also don't like drinking in general as a stress reliever, but sometimes when life hands you crap...you need to make a crapwich..which is sometimes, yes, a drink.<br /><br />Hoping your weekend is lovely! I'm drinking a smoothie and am still in my pj's! Don King hair knowing NO bounds!Tina@thriftingwithcake.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905141056882884552noreply@blogger.com
