One more random comment. The neighbor asked me if I saw her dog's chew toy. I hadn't seen it but I asked Boy if he saw a small, ugly squeeky ball. He went and looked, then came back. "Mom, what color is ugly?" sometimes I just love the fact my kids are so naive!

Thank you Flickr for motivating me. As I was forcing myself to clean the fridge, I had a great idea for my 365. (I'm doing a project where I take a self portrait every day for a year) and well, it motivated me to clean my fridge a little more than I was planning....Who wants to sit in the mystery goop that congeals under the veggie drawer? <img src="http://

Shameless self promotion...go here and watch.... Link Have you ever written a check or made a credit card payment for some trivial amount? Did you just roll your eyes that you had to swipe a card or write a check for $2? Well, I just topped that. I paid an 'e-bill' to H

Just as a note.... This is a back end splits. Back end meaning that I have to pop into the trick on the back end of the swing and it's harder than it looks.
