Hate HTML

I adopted a new Blog page today and was extremely frustrated in working to enable all my personal things to show. I never did find a calendar that I could adapt to my blog. Will have to visit other blog sites to find how they are set up. HTML is extremely confusing to my poor brain. I understand the basics. But in attempting to find the code for a horizontal line? It's horrible. Ordered my camera today. I am getting the Canon Powershot S2 IS 5MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom; I KNOW I said I would never purchase another Canon, but in researching all the data on the cameras, this is the best of a bad lot. Focus problems, shutter recovery problems, stabilization problems...they all have them. If I don't like it within the first few weeks, back it goes! Well, I'm tired now. Last night I stayed up until late to IM my lovely daughter. Miss those kids so much.

Pucker Up, Baby

Earlier today, Isabelle and I were outside as it was SO warm..about 56 degrees & partly cloudy. We both heard a far away noise, and stood there waiting for it to come closer. It was the honking of geese! We stayed on the deck, both of us craning our necks to watch them overhead; both of us holding very still. Watching the geese high in the sky, honking, flapping their wings, flying in a "V" formation. Awesomely beautiful against the blue cloudy sky! A perfect Spring day! I then came out of my reverie and ran for my camera...too late. They had already passed us, and gone beyond the tree tops! I scrapped this page from pictures we had taken last night. Kelsey wanted photos of us smiling, so I plopped down on Greg's lap and started snapping. Only thing was, he was so tired and couldn't smile too much. But this was a good one.

Barnes & Noble & High Speed Internet

So I mis-placed my latte yesterday. I finished one, then when I went to start on the other one, it was nowhere to be found. Curious. Must be the early onset of Alzheimer's. Yet I remember how to spell correctly and remember where I live and my phone number...sometimes. Found it this morning on the library shelf. I must have put it down when I was re-arranging my scrap magazines.

Greg and I went to Wal-Mart to get a few things. Got the kids some surprises for Easter. I got my thumb nail fixed and a pedicure while we were there. However, I got the "mini" version of a pedicure because they were to close at 8pm instead of 9pm as I had thought. Now will have to go back over to get the full treatment one day because my feet are so dry, dry, dry.

At Barnes & Noble...I took our pictures, which turned out quite well. Purchased a couple of books on Adobe Photoshop so that I may learn the program more thoroughly. What software! Now I can believe that Victoria's Secret models are not what they are look like in the magazine...stretch out their asses; add in fake boobs; accent with color for the overall "tan" look. BIG NEWS ~~ I found out that there is High Speed Internet Access at Barnes & Noble! Yippee. Go in, have a coffee, soak in the beautiful seats and overall great atmosphere, and download my digi-kits! Yippee. "talked" to Kelsey last night on IM for a while. Hello, which is supposed to be on-line instant sharing of pictures...did not work. The pictures we sent each other through IM were slow. So we finally switched over to www.SLIDE.com. Which is the neatest tool. I really NEED to sit Greg down to get his website pictures on SLIDE. There is a countdown to April 15, income tax filing deadline...and I am so depressed this year about it. Usually I have our taxes done by now. But I am procrastinating this year.

Spring, It Is SO Spring Like!

There is a spring in my step, there is a spring in my mattress, there is a spring feeding the well of love in my heart.

Sounds like a song, huh?

Well, SPRING is here! Yippee!

Sounds Great!

But obviously somebody hasn't told Northern Idaho that Spring is here because it is still SNOWING. I hate that frigging word. Snow. I want to move somewhere else! Somewhere WARM! Is there ANYBODY in Italy that wants to trade homes with us PERMANENTLY?

Up All Night

Greg worked in the shop last night until 1AM. Then came home and watched mindless TV for 1 hour; Carson Daly & Leno & IMF...Then retiring for bed at 2:30. So we got up late this morning. The upstairs alarm clock read 7:30am. BUT...it was actuall 11:30am. Wow. It was weird. Seems like the day just rushed by! I scrapped a little; shopped at some digital shops; learned more Photoshop techniques; and bought...SHOES~ Baby Phat's Bonita and Diba's Brie. This weekend is the one that I WILL buy a new camera! Maybe.

If you haven't seen this yet, it is an excellent site. Most people don't think about the women that are behind the men in our military. These women are young, funny, and fresh. My daughter is one of the bloggers at this site!

She is actively doing so much. I am SO proud of her!

Proud of Matt

Proud of BOTH of them!

I called the UK today to talk to her and left a message on the answering machine. She called back later and we talked quite a bit. Don't you just feel that you HAVE to hear their voice sometimes? Probably that mothering instinct in me!

Raining & cloudy here the past 2 days; but the snow is receding (just like Greg's hairline).

Isabelle is well on her way to recovery. She has recovered her appetite and has been visiting the shop nightly with Greg. Tonight she met another pooch down there. They played and had a ball! She came back with snot flung all over her face, so you just know that she had fun.
