We’re watching the local news right now and they actually took the time to say:
“And now, a warning to computer users. There has been a new virus released. It’s called the Postcard Virus. It comes in the form of a virtual postcard from a family member.”
That was it! Not even a solution if you get this virus! Just that little report.
For a few seconds, I was Janice.
And Steve just laughed.
I mean, I’ve been getting emails like that since 1997! Sheesh people! GET WITH IT! lol
I hate the news. I’ve been yelling at the TV for the last half an hour now… (Hour and a half if you include CSI: NY.)
Yeah, I’m not sure how much it ended up being MY day, but you know.
So there at the left we have some of my Mother’s Day gifts from Elijah. He made those at church and it was only this morning that I found the necklace thing. It had gotten lost in the gift bag. Thankfully, though, Elijah called it a bracelet so when he told me to try it on, it was too big so I can hang it on the kitchen wall. ;-)
The boys also picked up a red rose for me while I was editing, which was sweet. I didn’t bother to take a photo of it though, they all look alike after a while. So here’s last year’s rose, for your viewing pleasure:

Un.believe.able.
I know I’ve been saying that a lot lately but, man, today kinda sucked. I was locked out of things three times today. The day’s not even over yet, I wouldn’t be surprised for it to happen again, knowing my luck!!
one.
It was this morning and I was getting ready to shower. Elijah was being, well, a butt, so I told him he was going to have to take a “nap” while I showered rather than being free range. So the second I’m not looking, he thinks it would be an awesome idea to lock his door and close it so that he can use the excuse “but my door’s locked.”

I lost this whole post last night, so let’s see if we can’t try again, shall we? Yesterday was a bad day for me and so I finally just had to chill out so I thought I’d sit down and do some scrapbooking. Here’s what I came up with:
and
Both are using templates that I absolutely love. The first is a template by Digitreats and the second by Scrapmatters. Normally I try not to use a template but the first did exactly what I wanted and the second is actually for a challenge.
Both layouts are also using stuff from the same kit: Take Flight, the May 2008 kit from Songbird Avenue. I adore this kit! I’d wanted to purchase from Songbird Avenue before but this was the first time I actually did it (not sure why not before). The kits are these collaborative (using the talents of several designers) and the coolest thing is that every penny (besides PayPal fees) goes to charity. This month it’s the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. But if you like the kit you only have until the end of May to get it!
So, yup, there ya go. Two layouts and I haven’t even gotten to use all the elements or my favorite paper yet. :)

I am extremely extremely frustrated today.
So, everyone, please join me. I need a good scream!
AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm… sadly that doesn’t make me feel any better…
Last night I went out with my friend C. She’s an awesome friend I know from college but we only get to see each other a couple of times a year. So we’d planned this for a couple of months, haha.
Continue reading ‘night out’
The last time the boys went fishing, I was out of town. This time, we all went. Just for a few minutes the other day after dinner, before it got dark.
I get the feeling this time around wasn’t as fun for Steve as the last time, he said Elijah behaved better last time, though I kept feeling like Elijah was relatively good. On the other hand, it also seemed like he wanted to show off for Mommy.
No sooner, however, had Steve first cast Elijah’s line for him when a fish jumped on it and I got my favorite photo of the evening:

The god of the internet (Al Gore) is clearly letting me know he wants me off the internet, apparently. The other day, I noticed we had no dial tone with the home line, yet the DSL had always worked. ATT came out yesterday to fix the phone line. Something was wrong with the box down the street, the tech said. But my internet started to get flaky earlier in the day and it’s just been acting really weird.
