I got two compliments last week both from my mother-in-law on 2 different days. Now the reason this is so great for me is because my MIL (though I love her dearly) is soooooo busy/pre-occupied that she doesn't notice the small things - I got my hair cut about 3 weeks ago (about 4 inch cut off - huge deal to me) but she didn't even notice. So for MIL to say something on Wed & Fri last week I was pretty thrilled.

I'm going home (CT) in 3 weeks to visit friends and family I haven't seen since Christmas - I'm anxious to see what they have to say.
