Today was a good day!

Now I'm reading "How to organize just about everything" by Peter Walsh. Tons of great valuable information. I highly recommend it. It's a huge book, but you can just skip over the sections that don't pertain to you. I forgot how much I like reading.

Today was a good day. Have you ever "stepped outside of the house", looked in, and liked what you saw, that was me today. Jess is so darn cute, it's amazing what she picks up, she's like a sponge. And Jon's always good for a smile. He's adorable, he's not able to run from the camera like Jess yet, hahaha! Even the cat was extra adorable today.

I found some great blog sites today, I'm addicted...

• http://nablopomo.ning.com/ is a fun blogging ring that gives you ideas on blogging, and you can jump on other blog sites.


• http://bloggingcafe.net/ is a great blogging forum.


• http://www.stumbleupon.com/ was the most fun I've had in a long time. I have downloaded their tool bar. You can select your interests and it jumps onto sites of interest, you can rate the site and it will show you more of that kind, and if you don't like it, then it won't show you sites like that.

Jeff went on the campbell's site and got a great recipe, real quick and easy:

Cheeseburger Pasta

From: Campbell's Kitchen

Prep/Cook: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground beef 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup 1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup (Regular or 25% Less Sodium)1 1/2 cups water 2 cups uncooked medium shell-shaped pasta

Directions:
COOK beef in skillet until browned. Pour off fat.
ADD soups, water and pasta. Heat to a boil. Cook over medium heat 10 min. or until done, stirring often.

I think I'll search the internet for a good recipe for the week, and he should too. And if it's a winner we'll put it in a binder and save it, otherwise pitch it. Sometimes you just get tired of the same old, same old. I like that campbell's site because people write reviews on the recipes and they give you tips like use this ingredient instead of that one, it will taste better, etc. There is so much to do on the web, it's exhausting.

It was a cold rainy day in MI

Last night was hilarious. We've been doing that love letters thing, I talked about earlier. And one of my questions to him was on what day did we start going out. Of course Men have no idea on dates, so I said he could look it up in our old notes. Yes, we saved our old notes. After glancing through them last night, I'm thinking we should burn them. If the kids get a hold of them, they will think we are huge DORKS! I never laughed so much in all my life. We started to become friends in 11th grade. So towards the end we wrote a few notes, on August 10, 1994 we became a couple. And through out 12th grade we wrote notes to each other constantly. It slowed up once we were in college because we both had cars by then and just saw each other more. Hahhaa, that was a fun walk down memory lane.

Today it has rained all day, and it's cold outside. I went Christmas shopping, what a day to do it on. Of course the stores didn't have anything I wanted for Jeff, but I found all kinds of fun stuff for me, hahaha! But I constrained myself, christmas is coming, how do I know what I am getting. I might be getting "Flash Focus" and "Brainage 2", so I didn't buy them.

I'm reading a book by Peter Walsh called "It's all too much". I just started, but it's really a page turner. You have to imagine the life you want and make decisions on what's important and what's not. "Clutter sucks life away. It leaves you depressed, overwhelmed, lacking motivation, and unable to breathe." I highly recommend the book, even though I've only read the introduction so far. I think most of us have clutter issues and it would be worth a look at. I also got "How to organize just about everything" by Peter Walsh. It's a huge book, hopefully I can plow through it before it's due back at the library. I'm starting to rely on the library more. I certainly don't need to buy tons of books I will never read again.

I also got a book on Frontpage, and I have some on order about HTML. I do like webpage design. I also like graphic design programs like photoshop. If there were only more hours in the day to learn everything. Way back when I was in college, my degree was going to be in computer programming, but it turns out I just can't comprehend programming languages. I'm sure HTML will be the same way. I've tried studying it before, but didn't get far. Oh well. Add that to the other projects on my list of things to do, in my "spare time", hahaha!

Jess was so cute today. We were watching Yo Gabba Gabba and they were talking about healthy snacks to eat, and the one character wasn't eating his yogurt because he thought he wouldn't like it and they said how do you know you don't like something unless you try it, and lo and behold he liked it. Jess ran in the kitchen, wanted me to open the fridge so she could eat a yogurt, right then and there. Such a copycat off the tv, at least it's all good stuff we watch on there.

I threw both kids in the tub today to get it over with. Jess thought it was great to use her watering can to sprinkle Jon. He was very relaxed, obviously very very relaxed, he pooped, YUCK! That was the end of bath time!!!! At least he's still in the baby tub, so it was contained. Jess did that a few times when she was little. She even went through a time when she was about 18 months that she pooped every god blessed bath time, it was a pretty "shitty" time!!!!
