Can you spare an ampersand?

If you were paying attention, and I pay you to pay attention, you will recall that I jazzed up my photo ledges for Christmas this year. This was the very first time that I removed ALL the photos and misc stuff and had ONLY Christmas goodies. And by goodies,  I mean old candy. 

Well, when I declared CHRISTMAS IS OVER!!!!... I started with another clean slate. I decided to change things up. I was tired of the old family photos...needed some newer/updated ones. Lucky for them, I'm not so tired of the family itself. Well, for today anyway.

I had the "S" already. (It was for our last name, now it is for my first name. Oh Snap...the internet knows my initials now! Might as well give my my social security number.)

I found the "J" at Marshall's.

"'J" is for Coach. Yes it is!

{Lo's pottery class pears; so darn cute}

I thought it would be cute to put an ampersand (&) in the middle of the J and S. {by the way, our college child didn't know what an ampersand was. Can we get a refund? On the tuition, not the child, I'm pretty sure they don't give $ back on kids anymore.}

While I was fussing around with the shelves...I said out loud: Oh, if I can't find an ampersand, I can put a plus in the middle of J and S and then an equal sign....with L and L at the end.

Confusing?

Oh, it would be like this: J+S=L&L.

Lindsay said: Gross.

Lauren said: Ewww.

Hey, I was just doing the math.

Actually, I should get credit because I restrained myself from saying: See those wine corks?

Well, J+S+wine=L & L. 

I know you were thinking this as well. 

Anyhoo....I would still need an ampersand for the gross/ewww equation.

And I need to get some people to pose for some new family photos too. I've got much work to do.

Do you have an ampersand I can borrow?
