Made ya look!

This is a faux post, not a real one, because I don't have any new pictures, scrap layouts, or quotes to share.  But I am taking some new pictures this weekend and doing some other fun stuff, and relaxing in between, so I should have some genuine posting coming up soon.

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! (f/k/a Secretaries Day but that quickly became not-PC)

Happy Jelly Bean Day!

New Blog Background

Forgot to ask--how do you like the new blog banner?  I know I still need to tweak the colors on the posts, but I'll think about that tomorrow.

Genealogy is addictive

I've been doing family history research online, and have gotten a couple of new tidbits that have helped me find a lot of public records.  The census lists have been a major source of new info--which is a little cool since this year's census has just been concluded.  So I guess that really is important, heeeeee!

I noticed it also makes the clock go really fast when you get going on yet another branch of the family tree.

Nighttime

10:18 p.m. and all's well.  So good night!  Smooches!  ;-)

Slightly Different

The DH cut this thin branch from the rosebush, and I like how it looks a vine when I hung it up like this.  The petals feel like a rose and it smells like a rose, but it has more of a carnation look.

Kudos to Governor Crist

Florida's governor Charlie Crist has vetoed the controversial bill regarding teachers' merit pay calculated by scores on the FCAT.

Here's the breaking news link Crist Vetoes Bill

I do support merit pay for teachers, but not using the method Crist just vetoed.  I'm extremely encouraged by today's developments. 

Thank you Charlie Crist!

Wanted to

It is 10:13 pm and I'm compiling a short list of things I wanted to do but didn't get done today:

Call Granny
Take some pictures
Blog and add pictures
Balance checkbook
Fold one load of laundry

Instead, I went to Publix and made this list so I can add a post to the blog count before logging off and going to bed.  Ooooooo, does that count as another thing?  lmao

See ya Thursday~
