I Missed It!

I can't believe I missed my 2nd blogaversary! I've been so busy with kids, it passed right by on Monday, March 8th...I didn't even make a post that day! I hadn't been planning anything special anyway, but a post to mark the day would have been nice. Oh well, at least that's proof that I have a life outside of blogging. It's a life of dirty diapers and bottles....but it's real!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a picture of the back of two little boys' heads when they know you have a camera in your hand?? I had to get Danny to hold their hands to keep them looking the other way! Anyway....these are the two that are taking up all my time these days...along with little Princess D, of course. By the way...we may have some progress with her situation in the next two weeks, so please pray for good news!

Tuesday Trimming, Toning and Telling

Week # 10, and I'm still stuck! No, I'm still not exercising, but I'm doing good with my diet, so maybe next week I'll see a change. I so want to see that 4 change to a 3!! Guess I'm going to have to get moving if I want to see results!

Brian is still doing great, losing some every week, but at a good pace.

Where I'm From

Carla, at Writing to Distraction has posted a writing prompt. You can join in by writing a poem, "Where I'm From." I wrote mine almost two years ago, so I posted this link. A random winner will be chosen to receive the writer's gift box prize.

My Family

I finally have some pictures of my family that were taken at Dad's funeral.

My Mom, my siblings, and me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been years since we've had a picture taken with all of our children together.

Here we are.

Christie, Dana, Nicole, Deb, 'D', Brian, Lorne, Justin

Daniel, Jerry

I'm breaking the rules here, showing a certain face,

 but as she said yesterday,

"I belong in this family."

Beautiful

I hope you're not tired of seeing snow pictures. It was so beautiful yesterday morning I had to go out for a walk and take some pictures of the horfrost again. Even though I'm ready for spring, I can still appreciate the beauty of the snow and frost!

Of course I had to include a couple of hockey pictures.

And yes, we watched the Gold medal games...men's and ladies!!

Anyone who says Canadians aren't patriotic hasn't seen an Olympic hockey game!

The boys had some work to do to find their ice.

Brian cleared it with the snow blower a while back, but has given up....there's just too much snow!

Have a nice day!

Music & Computer = Frustration

Another week of not writing...I can't even come up with blog posts these days. Instead, I've been fiddling around with my Band In A Box ...when I can. "Seffy" sleeps in the office though, so I only have access to our main computer during the day. My music program isn't on the lap top yet.

I think I figured out why I haven't been on BIAB for awhile. It's frustrating! It's great when I can get it to do what I want it to do....but there's a lot of stuff I just haven't figured out yet. I want to be able to type all of my songs into this program, turn them into mp3s and make them available online. Creating the song on the program is the easy part,....figuring out the 'how to's' of rendering it to a wav or mp3 the way I want it is driving me crazy! Somehow, a 4 minute song became an 8 minute song with the second half being just a single note melody....how did that happen? And how do I get rid of the extra without losing the song? I've already accidently deleted an entire song, and had to retype it all, so I really don't want to do that again on purpose!

Please pray for me and my tech challenged brain to figure this out....or to find someone to help me! I'm too old to learn this stuff!!

Tuesday Trimming, Toning, and Telling

It's Week # 9, and the start  of month #3...we're halfway to our 6 month goal, and 3 months from our 30th anniversary! Brian is still doing great...losing some every week. I, on the other hand, am stuck! I'm halfway to my goal weight, but this last 10 pounds doesn't seem to want to leave me. I'm still not back to using the wii regularly, so I guess that's what's missing...I'm sure not eating a lot of junk, aside from a little birthday cake. I guess watching the olympics isn't much of a workout! Hopefully spring will come soon, and I can get outside and do some yard work.
