So, the new and improved Microsoft product that we’ve all be waiting for (well, maybe YOU’VE been waiting for) was released today. Does the crow go wild? Hardly.
I did a post about it over here. If you haven’t turned off your automatic updates – don’t be surprised to wake up in the morning to find that you now have a completely different browser than what you were used to (that is directed towards IE users)….

My daughter is working on a history project called “The Chronical Project”. My son had to do it last year – see the post I did about his project here. To recap – the project is a chronicle of the years of her lifetime – so 1991 – 2006. During those years, she has to pick 12 historical events that happened in his lifetime, and 12 personal events…

Keeping my fingers crossed that it actually sticks this year! Last years snowfall was pathetic and our family skiing season passes virtually went to waste last year. My daugher, Melissa, snapped this photo of this years first snowfall – she’s just as excited as I am about it.…
read more »I do love my Mac. I operate both.. a PC and a Mac. I’m not a Mac-convert, though… something about old habits die hard.. or teaching an old dog new tricks… blah blah. Regardless of what anyone says – I have had my Mac (OSX) crash on me. It’s possible – but not nearly the same issues I have with my PC. I came across this on YouTube this morning. I’m probably way behind the…
read more »I’m not really betting woman, normally – but I do like a good game of poker or blackjack. I’m pretty decent at both games and usually don’t regret any game I’ve ever sat in on. My gambling moments were usually kept for those visits to Vegas, or Atlantic City – – or even the Indian gaming casinos here in Wisconsin.
I can drive down the highway for about 30 minutes and find a casino.. walk…
Did you know…. if you dip your finger in a jar of peanut butter and pull out a huge glob of it on your fingertip…
Then…
Dip that same peanut butter covered finger into a bag of chocolate chips….
The eat it all off your finger all at once…
You have yourself a homemade peanut butter cup. Without the cup part – – but still just as tasty, if not more so because it feels…
Recently, I’ve been getting some interesting IM’s from my daughter…
“Mom, how do I link an image so that someone can click on it and go to a different page?”
“Mom, can I get your upgraded version of Animation Shop?”
And so on.
Tonight, she came downstairs and asked me if I was working. I said , “Of course I’m working – what else do I do?” Heh.
She asked if she could watch. I…
It’s strange, you know – kids. Parenting is not one of those types of jobs where you can just wake up in the morning and say “You know what? I quit!”
Well, there are some parents (and I use that term loosely, in this reference) who have done just that sort of thing. But – it’s never occurred to me to just up and quit. It’s a life choice, you know? Even if having kids…
Go ahead – say THAT title 10 times fast – – then go ahead and untie your tongue while you’re at it! Serious Serial Series Syndrome™ – I have it.
I never, ever have time to get into a television series while it’s still running. Really – how do people keep up with it? To plunk my butt down in front of the television every Thursday at 7pm is way too much of a committment…
Well.. ok – my Mama didn’t teach me anything about blog design, but boy my job sure has changed in the past 4 years..it’s not what it used to be. Gone are the days of very simple templates for blogs (ala’ Blogspot defaults) and in came the days of full blown Content Management Systems (CMS) with all this wild functionality that wasn’t possible 4 years ago. Tagging.. social bookmarking.. podcasting.. video blogging.. Websites turned to…
