Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

Love the "punny" humor (if unintentional) of cranberry "shudders" as opposed to shutters.

It's some kind of metal that shouldn't be painted. Could be, but shouldn't be.

That sort of knick-knackery is very popular. And that's fine by me! I think it's great that people use their homes as their personal expression canvas. What a horrifying world it would be if every house looked just like mine. Also I would get lost.

We will get that much snow in a day a lot - we always have a big summer baby boom though.
