Sights and Sounds

1 song you listened to today:
Been listening to some older mp3s today. No Doubt just played. Love this song & video even though the opening few seconds of the vid make me squeamish. (Hooray bugs? Ewwwww...)

2 things you can hear right now:
Thomas on tv. Elijah is a happy little boy. :)
The fan buzzing.

3 things you said today:
"C'mere baby" to Eljiah who needed his diaper changed.
"Wow Vernie, you're getting so big!" when LV showed me that he finally lost his very wiggly tooth.
"I'll look into it" to Vern when he called and said we need to find a pediatric dentist. I'm so happy we can finally get some of LV's work done. Yay! :)

4 voices you've heard today:
Little Vern, Elijah, Vern & Brandon. Shocking, I know. :p

5 things you can see right now:
ummmm...
Elijah and his blue gatorade, and Brandon who looks like he's gonna scoop him up for a hug.
Little Vern (fully dressed, lol) watching Jimmy Neutron on the kiddo's computer.
Xbox controllers that need to be wrapped up and put away.
My little "Prepare Him Room" heart that I doodled years ago and stuck on my monitor.
My calendar, reminding me that Kirsten's library books are due tomorrow.

So Jordin won AI! No shocker there. It'll be fun to see what some of these singers end up doing. Not a bad season in the end.

Alrighty, time to go make food for some hungry kiddos. Have a great day!

Another sky.

WoW is down & homework is done, so my kids and I were having fun looking through screenshots together. (That's what I get for leaving acdsee open in that folder. lol) Anyhow, Here's another screenshot of that awesome outland sky. :)

For today.

Quote of the day:

Song of the day: Daughtry, What About Now

They haven't released a video for this song, so I just picked the least annoying fan vid using the song on youtube. Go Smallville! lol

Screenshot of the day:
The skies in the outlands (in WoW) are awesome. I think my favorite is Nagrand at night.

absent. sleepy. yawn.

It's been days since I last blogged. Where have I been? Right here. I spent the weekend playing WoW & hangin' out with friends. Makes for a great couple of days. :)

On Saturday I turned down an offer to do yet another wedding. It amazes me how many people still ask & hope we'll make an exception for them. I'm on a hiatus for a good reason, and really won't be making exceptions. I guess it does feel good to be wanted/needed, but I don't enjoy the part where I have to say no. The paperwork for B and I is in the works though, and when I can and do decide to go for it, watch out! lol It'll be a blast. I really do love what I do, even if I'm not able to do it at the moment.

Something I'm thinking about doing is sharing some of my wedding work here. I had a friend ask if I have any of my photos online for inspiration. No, I don't. Honestly, I never got to the point where I wanted/needed more work than snowballed my way, so I hid rather than advertised. lol This being a personal kind of blog rather than a commercial one though, I guess just sharing photos isn't going to hurt. Besides, if it backfires I can stop and even delete stuff. I hope I don't have to. The idea of sharing another of the things that I love in life through this blog appeals to me. It's still just in the thinking stages though, I'm not sure how I'm going to incorporate it.

For now I'm off to cuddle with my babe. He's still all goopy sick and gave himself some pink eye in there to boot. I got very little sleep last night, so I'm hoping for a nap.

Have a great day!

Just some stuff.

There's 2 weeks left of school for Brandon. Yes, he's counting.
Kirsten's almost done too, but since she goes to a year round school she doesn't have the same last day as most traditional schools.
Elijah's still sick. He got it worse than anyone and is having a harder time kicking it.
I had a Hire's burger last night. Yum. Seriously.
AI. Was sad to see Melinda go. She was the one who always delivered. Even though I don't see me buying her album, I was rooting for her simply because she's good at what she does. It was a good show with Elliot coming back to perform. Love that song.
When I came downstairs this morning LV was playing his Star Wars Lego video game with a frozen burrito and some gatorade going. He had a Larry Boy movie going for Elijah who was enjoying some pears. It was perfect except that LV was naked. lol While I'm glad he can fix food for himself and Elijah and find suitable entertainment, we're still working on the "clothes are important" rule with him. :P
I put some pictures of my kiddos up by my desk. Elijah loves to point at them and jabber away. I need to put up some more pics for him to enjoy. I'm thinking grandmas & grandpas. :)
I would give anything at this moment for a good Jamaican patty, a can of grape crush and a chocolate chip cookie. That was my favorite lunch in high school. Earl Haig's cafeteria had the yummiest cookies and the sweet soda and cookie went so well with a spicy little Jamaican patty. Yummy.
It's another beautiful sunny day. I'm thinking a walk to the park and a slurpee sound good.

Have a great day!

Call me lazy.

I'm tired, not feeling 100% and wanting to blog anyway. So I turned to blogthings again...

I've had two "need chocolate" kinds of days in a row. I think I'm headed to bed early tonight so that maybe tomorrow I can wake up rested and a little happier. Goodnight cyberspace!
