Gadgets....

I like the new gadgets feature of blogger... I added Useless Knowledge - every time you come to my site you will get a new piece of Useless Knowledge... and down at the bottom of the page I added Hangman - you can play a new game over and over... and Vintage Art of the Day - a new piece of artwork daily... FUN! Have you added any? What do you think of them?

Man It Bites When Your Mom is Right!

Had a long talk with Christopher the other night. One of our topics of conversation was the girl here in CA that he has been somewhat interested in. I for the longest time have been telling him that girls at this point in life are just a waste of time. Nothing against girls - after all I am one. But because I am - I know what goes on in the head of a 16 yr old girl....ALOT. The wind can blow and the mood will change. And I (being a mom) don't think that this is anything that my son needs to confuse his already confused head with.... (Side note: this is BTW the same thing I tell the teenage girls in my life about boys!) But he is 18 now... so I have loosened the strings (some anyway).

And back to our conversation the other night.... I asked him - "So, have you been keeping in touch? What's going on with her?" And he said, "Yeah, we talk all the time. But.... (long pause) I don't know about her." "Why son?" "Well, because you just never know what your gonna get. One minute she is fine and the next ...well."

At this point I couldn't help it... I just couldn't. I laughed so hard that I think at one point I actually snorted. I caught my breath and then... "Man it bites when your mom is right..." He laughed, "yeah... it does, it really does."

Environmental Concern or Hysteria

Will you sign a petition to ban this dangerous chemical - Dihydrogen Monoxide??? These people did... Don't know what it is?? Apparently that doesn't matter - it's all how you spin it... Here's a link to the MSDS sheet if you want more info about it... very dangerous chemical... linked to thousands of deaths every year.... no lie. If you are concerned about your environment and have started going 'GREEN' - you need to watch this video.

How did I get there?

I was searching for the info on the Adventureland Mud Pit (never found it) ... but I stumbled upon a fellow blogger. She has something here for everyone! She's a Christian mom, who loves horses... is taking photography classes and starting her own business (great slide shows of her work)... she loves scrapbooking, has an ebay business... So how did I get there? Like I said, I was looking for Adventurland Mud Pit... and somewhere in a blog of hers she was talking about her horses not being in a mud pit. And then I read the blog about her families trip to Disnleyland (world?)... and how they made a dream of her daughters come true... and then I saw a horse video... and then I read about the crazy money that our government is spending on an embassy in Baghdad... and well, we all know how it works then.... I AM getting off here now and getting ready for work.

This Could Be Dangerous

From the Maxine Blog (that I am one of the 2 regular readers - well at least commenters) I found the following: The Shoebox Blog. It's full of funny cartoons, card ideas that never made it to a card, and the part that can be really dangerous for me is Newsdroppings. They comment on about 10 different news items (including links) to the actual news article. Being Shoebox - they have a slight twist on what is news worthy and how to see the news - a twist that I find a bit too humorous and can turn my endeavour to be on the computer less into a failure.

I will resist.... I will resist.... I will resist....
