Technorati Profile

I'd really love to blog but i need to bath my underpants.

I found the funniest thing today while Perusing the 'internets'. 
It's called and excuse generator!  You know you could all use one (if even only to generate a laugh to break the tension!)... Check it out here.
Once again,
Don't say I never gave ya' nothin'.

Introducing our family's newest addition...

My new Canon 30D.

We have spent the last few hours getting to know each other and there is still so much to know!!  I am excited though, the photos that I've managed to take so far are head and shoulders above anything I'm used to capturing.  What a thrill. 

I haven't had a chance to upload anything to flickr yet (except this one that Suz took and this one I snapped right out of the box)- I only JUST managed to figure out how to get the photos off the camera and on to my computer... progress!

It's the start of a new photographic era for me- the Canon Era! 

Are you as excited as I am???

A good laugh.

This made me laugh till tears glistened on my cheeks.  Farts are so funny.

Fun with your identity

Yesterday Paige picked out a new wallet from the dollar store. This morning she wanted her own 'driver's license'. Boy kids grow up fast these days! In an effort to try to do something to finally impress my daughter with my skills I went on the hunt to find a place to make an ID card on line. I came across this site where you can build a card right in their interface. Of course you can't print it from there but I used the 'print screen' button and pasted it into Photoshop. After some cropping and resizing I printed it off on Glossy photo paper and it looked great!!  She's so proud of it. 

And I'm proud of myself.

The Bobs and Lolo-wdown

Some of you may remember me ranting on about a couple ladies that performed children's music at Suz's daughter's 4th birthday party.  The ladies go by the name 'Bobs and Lolo'  and their music is some of the only, okay, it is THE only children's music I allow to be played in my vehicle.  It's that good. 

Recently it was brought to my attention that Bobs and Lolo have come out with a new CD!!  I've only had a brief chance to review the tunes but it all sounded good- just like the first CD.  Please go and check out the site (if you haven't already) and if your interested in purchasing a CD or two for those little ones in your life, let me know, or drop a line at their website (let them know that I sent you!)

P.s. I'm working on a blog about Nolan's 2nd birthday that was on Saturday but life and Typepad maintenance keep getting in my way.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post it so keep your eyes peeled.

Bearing Gifts.

I just got my parcel in the mail from this patch swap.  I am so lucky!  It contained a Gorgeous embroidered Pink Squirrel from Cathy and a very intricate blue bird from Kristin.  Last but certainly not least, Faun included some iron on patches featuring her artwork.  All together it made for quite an impressive package. 
Like a dorkus, I forgot to write my name on the fancy envelopes I put my patches into... so one recipient has had to do a little 'Nancy Drewing' to find me.  Oops!  I'm glad to know that they will be going to homes that appreciate them.  And now I wish I'd done a better job...

Down the Tubes.

I just read an article on line about a new internet service called 'Tubes' It allows you to upload and share large files of any kind.  You can also keep your files private and secure and share with only the people you choose.  It sounds wonderful to me and I'm signing up as I type.

Try it out- especially if you are always trying to find ways of transferring those large files to your neighbors.  I recently worked on a project for my friend Laurie and the files were too large for a CD to they had to be transferred onto DVD- which they have misplaced.  This will be the cure for that!! 

I'm so excited, can you tell???
