Cheap Therapy

Tonight I needed some.

Lookie here!

I call it Dance because calla lilies do you know. At least to me. :) And hey, a few minutes playing with some pixels and somehow I'm in a better mood.

Not even close to fantastic I know, but hey - anything remotely representing what was intended that was drawn with a mouse gets kudos from me.
Now I want to see yours! Pretty please? It's fun, I promise.
It's been very quiet in blogville lately, so I hope that if anyone reads this they will give it a try and share. :)

Just because

Yet another blatant "isn't he cute?" entry. Only this time he's my yummy babe.

I've had a lot of things running around in my head lately, so I'm sure an entry with some sort of depth to it is coming soon. I'm happy to just share pics of my cute stuff for now though. He's my little happy thought. :)

All is well.

We fixed the electives situation for both of our children. Kirsten no longer has jazz dance, but does have choir. Brandon may have to do a core lab instead of sculpting, but has photography all 5 days. (We can't find the rebel, so he may show up to class with the Elan 7E.) I need to teach him some basics before he gets there. He has the computer graphics class he wanted and tai chi with some friends. Yay.
Vern is picking up some of the school supplies they need on his way home.
And some pizza.
All is well

Hunka Hunka

My family members know the answer to these questions. (Well, from LV up.)

Who's my love? Daddy!

Who's my happy? Us!

Who's my biggest crush? Will Smith. (Since I was 12.)

Who's my hunka hunka? Tim McGraw. Mmmmmmmmmmm...

Vern likes Audrey Hepburn. Well, he's not allowed to say so, even though he's stuck knowing who I think is yummy. Even though she's long gone and I agree she was awesome. I go shades of green over it. I don't think I'd mind so much if she wasn't so skinny and pretty and all. lol Pretty unfair I guess, though it is how it is. I just remind him that both Will & Tim are happily married. :)

Brandon said no...

He hated his picture from today and didn't want me posting it. I had to do the big "first day of school" post anyway. It was a great day! (Though I kind of missed my school-aged kiddos. Shhhhhh...)

We cornered the electives person at the parent meeting tonight and are changing his schedule around for him. It's a no to the rogue sculpting class that made it in there somehow & a yes to the computer graphics class he wants that was missing. And I think it's cool that he's interested in photography. I'm giving him my old film rebel. He's excited. Me too.

Kirsten's electives were a little wonky too. She ended up in 3 types of dance (ballet, clogging & jazz) and we have to whittle it down to one or two. (Costumes, shoes & such for all three is a little much.) She got into the private voice lessons, but they didn't get jr. choir in there. It will hopefully all be fixed for both of them tomorrow.

At least they both love all of their teachers, and are in a school where I feel good about the people & influences around them. It's such a great atmosphere.
Now I need to hook up my new keyboard before I go crazy with this sticky one & try to get some sleep so that I can be awake to send 'em off for day 2.

Sticky

I spilled Pepsi on my keyboard yet again the other night while playing WoW with Vern, Julie & Kyle. Fourth or fifth time spilling my pop onto my keyboard in the 8 or so months we've been playing together. Now my backspace, enter, k, & l keys are all sticky. It's really annoying me, but I'm trying so hard to not ask Vern to replace my 3-week-old keyboard. Maybe I should try using a sippy cup or something.
Speaking of sticky, Robin will be here in 4 days! She's bringing treats! This is a small part of the Canadian chocolate stash she brought last time.
Yum!

Peas and Carrots

Saturday was a busy day. A family reunion, including a photo shoot for Vern's great-grandma, grocery shopping & giving Elijah his first "official" solid food. (Just shy of 6 months and so ready.)
He liked the peas on Saturday, tolerated the carrots on Sunday and enjoyed peas again yesterday. I wonder what I should feed him today.
