My new love….

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I admit, sometimes I am a total sheeple. I saw the Kindle on Oprah and fell in love. I begged Jim for it for my birthday/christmas this year. He eventually agreed and I ordered it (had to do it early to get the $50 off from Oprah). ...

Changes.

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Its been a while since I posted. Things have been busy and I just haven't really felt like I had much to type about. I fell behind on gardening and didn't get anything planted for the fall. Oh well, it will give me time to plan things ...

Mark your calendars…I sewed last night.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I haven't sewn anything in months. I just have not been feeling the sewing machine love and just had no interest in it. But I really needed to get a couple of things done. Mrs. Goldyn from Willow's school (the Kids' Co-op) asked me if I ...

Its a play dough type of day

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I have been working really hard to get the girls to bed at reasonable times and into a routine before school starts up again. So far its been going well, with both girls asleep before 10pm, but that also means that both of them are up at 7:30/8am every ...

Imeem - make your web browsing musical!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I was messing around with a few design issues on the blog and decided that I needed an embeded music player. (over there ---->) There didn't seem to be a lot of options, but instead I found Imeem. Pretty nifty if you ask me.... you can create playlists that ...

1:55 am and 27.5 mpg

Friday, June 27th, 2008

For some reason or another I found myself awake at 1:55 am last night. Could be because the summer break is really wreaking havoc on the girls and getting them to bed at any hour is turning into an ordeal. Could also just be that lately I am ...

Summer is finally here…

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Its been a surprisingly cool summer up til this point. It was definitely hot, but still cooling down in the evenings and barely above 100 during the day. This week things got "I feel like I am sticking my head in an oven" hot and it is definitely ...
