Don't Laugh

I am proud of my very own blog background design.  I have been at it all afternoon and I still don't like it but it is better than the first one I did.  I wanted my very own design.  I have learned a lot today ~ html and all.  I'm on test 4.  The first one made me laugh out loud, but I just couldn't keep it on my blog.   Photoshop elements is a force to be reckoned with.  You could do a ton of stuff with it if you knew what you where doing.  I am going back to the digital drawing board when the kids go to bed.  

I can see where digital scrapbooking could be fun.  All you would ever need is your computer. No back breaking bags, tons of paper all over the place, no paper photos to crop, no scraps to pick up off the floor, no stickers to line up just right. You would never run out of letters or zero's.  I think Mark was on to something when he said 5 years ago I should try digital scrapbooking.  So it takes me a little while to come around.  I still like cutting paper.  My back is aching from clicking and sitting at my computer all afternoon.  VERY addictive.  Come back often to see my latest design.

I think your design is very nice. Every time I pick a new background Chris is over my shoulder going "you know you can make your own". I don't have the patience:)

Low Expectations

Mark and I took the kids a couple of years ago to Orlando for a weekend.  Nathan was less than a year old, Alexandra must have just turned 2 and Madison was 4.  I look back and laugh but at the time it was anything but funny.  A trip to Disney would be fun and relaxing right?  HA!  We never even made it to Disney because Madison was so ornery the day we were going to go I couldn't justify going.  We learned a lot about being parents of three young kids that weekend.   During our stay we took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe.  Nathan was terrified the whole meal and after our $75 lunch Madison threw up all over the table and floor.  That is when Mark made the rule we don't take the kids to a restaurant unless it has a drive thru, curbside doesn't count.  We really do stick to that rule and the only sit down "nice" restaurant we go to with the kids is Sonny's BBQ.  Before we left I wanted to get the kids a little something from the Disney Marketplace.  I took the...

True Friends

I am on Facebook daily and love flair.  I had a local friend send me flair that said , " True friendship isn't being inseparable. It's being separated and nothing changes."  I'm hoping that once I leave this area I have many friends that are true friends.  This post is an ode to such a friend.  One friend of mine moved away many years ago and I realized the other night that she is that just that friend.  It doesn't matter if time or many miles separates us she is a true friend.  I realized after a long conversation on the phone with that person (her mostly listening) that I have a gem of a friend and I am so grateful for her.  I just wanted to send out a shout to that person, you know who you are and let you know I think your the best!   Maybe one day God will let us live in the same city.   It is funny as you get um... well.... older you start to have friends all over the country.  I do have many friends all over the place and each of you are special to me.  ...

Intentional Spending

I first want to say I am not cheap!  I don't buy the cheapest item just because I want to save money.  I do like finding a good deal on things that are high quality.  I don't like sacrificing quality for price.  I try to never pay full price for anything.   When I say our spending it intentional what I mean is that Mark and I sit down around November and hash out the budget.  Some things are constants in the budget.  Mortgage, phone, insurance pretty much stay the same.  Some vary like gas, water, electric.  After years of budgeting we can average out what we spent the year before and add if needed to the new budget.   Here is what we do know we have to pay something first so they go in the budget first.  Then what is "leftover" is up for dividing.  This is not a fool proof plan. Medical never gets budgeted enough money.  Which is why you should have a savings account.  Every category gets a set amount of money tha...
