Dear Mother Nature

Next week is the first day of Spring. Do you think you could possibly start acting like it?

Thankyou.

60 Miles doesn't scare me

It's the fundraising! Ack! *thud* I'm so not a sales person.

So yes, I have added the donate widget to this blog, my health blog and my craft blog.

I was reading the message boards at 3 day.org and seeing all the ideas for fundraising... and got overwhelmed.

My craft day with my girlfriends is this weekend. A couple of them have done craft shows, so I plan on picking their brains Sunday.

Why? Let me tell the why, that I am doing this. My Mom. *waves to yoopernurse* She is a 12 year(right? It's been 12 years? Ayla is 13) survivor of breast cancer. Breast cancer can be hereditary so I want them to continue their research.

(oh and Kimmer begged me. LOL)

Pandora Radio

I added a new app to my addiction down there. *points* It's Pandora Radio, but guess what? You can listen and use it online too. It's free!

How it works. You type in an artist, song or genre and it builds a radio station based on that. You can rate the songs it comes up with with a thumbs down or up (that helps the server choose the next songs). The only thing is, you can only skip so many songs an hour. But it's free. Free music on your computer anywhere.

Oh and you can shuffle between your personal radio stations too.

Check it out.

New Addiction

Oh my. Ummmmm. Good thing it's almost the weekend. I splurged my mileage check on an iTouch today. This thing is awesome!!! DD is sooooooo jealous. She's mad that she didn't know about this thing before Christmas. She would have asked for one instead of the new Nano.

I've only download a few applications so far but one was BeJeweled 2. I'm addicted. I love that game. I used to play for hours on my old computer. Now I can play on my iTouch!

I downloaded a free treadmill workout on it, extremely cool. I'm going to see how I like running to audiobooks next. *skip*

Bonus! I'm a super cool Mom now.

RIP Grandma

Darc sent me this pic to post on my blog. It's a picture of my grandma with her best friend.

My paternal grandma passed away yesterday morning. She was 94. Can you imagine all the changes she saw the world go through?

RedBox?

Anybody use Redbox? I've had a couple peeps suggest it and I see *gasp* we actually have a location by me! Shocking! So do you Redbox it?

Maybe it's a sign?

I've been thinking about buying myself an iTouch.

hmmmmmmm I wonder how much they'll be marked down at Circuit City?

I feel bad for the 34,000 losing their jobs. Especially those here, since our town already ranks #1 in the nation in jobs lost. *sigh*

So the only ray of sunshine may be that I get a good deal on a new toy for me. Maybe?

It may be a two glass day

Two glasses of wine that is. Gah. I hate W2s. In fact. Nobody say that word to me for about two months. OK?

Anything and everything that could go wrong went wrong today. That full box of envelopes I thought I had to use with 3-up W2s? There was five envelopes in there. Five!!!! *pulls more hair out*

What not to wear?

I need a personal shopper. I'm tired of looking messy/frumpy. Over half of my clothes right now are 2-3 sizes to big for me... yet I still wear them. Why? Because I hate clothes shopping! Hate it. I have no clue what to buy, what looks good on me. *sigh*

DD and I are going shopping this weekend. I plan on atleast getting a new pair of jeans that fit. But I'm askeered that, that is ALL I will come home with. I always start out with good intentions and then get frustrated trying things on.

Can anybody help me? Or am I beyond help.


Bravie and darcidoe do NOT need to answer that last question.

Boooooooo Cookies!

I have Boo Cookies! *hops around*

I also got my OT SS package yesterday, yesterday was a good day.


Is everyone ready for Christmas? I have some more baking tonight to do. I want to bring some goodies up north with me this weekend. I haven't wrapped any of DD's presents yet. Need to do that some day.

We're supposed to be getting a major storm tonight/tomorrow. We'll see. They haven't been right lately. If they're right on this one they said 6-12 inches. Ack!

For Darcidoe, a pic of the snow she got last night.

Did you hear that?

I think I heard some cookies crumbling!!!

Let's hear it? Who's got cookies!?!?!?!

I plan on doing my baking this weekend.

My new crush

or maybe it's love? I want Edward.

I will admit, at first I was like "he doesn't look like I imagined Edward". But by the middle of the movie, he was Edward.

Cookie Emails!

New update, everyone should have their recipients now. Thanks everyone!

Some have gone out, some can't yet. HD! I need your new address. Tummy? I can't find your email address. *smooch*

Boo will be happy to know that we ended up with an even 10 particpants. Yay!!!! Welcome Sharnina!

So now it's your turn to do the work. Get baking!!! Be sure to send your cookies out so they can be enjoyed during the hectic holiday season. Holiday season starts on Thanksgiving and goes through New Years.

Happy baking!

Carppppp!

Tummy, I hope you saved the SS addresses and lists somewhere. We lost the last 5 months on Blows. I don't have my SS's address anymore! PM's are gone for that time too.

Oh, OT is back up. Carry on.

Or not, Webby posted a message to not post there. Hopefully he's trying to restore the last 5 months. *crosses fingers*

*SQQQQEEEEEALLLLLLLLL*

Yes, I did just squeal like a 13 year old. I saw my first Twilight promo last night. DD and I are extremely excited to go see this. We just finished Eclipse (book 3) and I was ordered to pick up book 4 on my way home tonight. LOL I probably will. I want to read it as bad as she does.

If you haven't signed up yet and want to share cookies with others, please sign up in the post below. I'll be drawing names Friday!

OK Fine!!!! Cookie sign up

Bumping back up! I'll be drawing names on Friday.


Boo wants cookies. Boo gets what Boo wants, especially when she's drinking wild grape.

So here it is. If you want to participate in the Blogger 2008 Cookie Exchange for the holidays sign up here. I'll draw names Monday!

I think we did 1 dozen cookies each and you send to two people right? So everyone should receive 2 dozen cookies.

Requests, allergies and such should be put in your comment here when you sign up.


Is this too early? I can do the drawing in a couple weeks if it's too early. Oh and if I don't have your address, please email it to me for me to give to your sender.

DBF is not good at taking pics. *pout*

Dead Prom Queen

Please excuse the sweatshirt and backpack, I had to block her way this morning to get a pic. She had to run to catch the bus.

How did she die, you ask?

A Vampire got her. She has teeth she can stick in too, if she's feeling feisty.

Happy Halloween!!!

Yep it's true

We had a splenderific weekend!!!!

This was my first time with Boo and well.... she definately popped my cherry. (that may or may not be code) *snort* She sure did bring sexy back!


*big smooches to Carey, Boo and Kimmer*
