ok- so I bought this...and I tried using it last night. Not as easy as I was hoping for. I watched the tutorial again today and will try working with the real pictures tonight. It doesn't like any songs that Jake wants me to use...of course. Anyone ever use this? Anyone want to make the slideshow for me... ;)

Honestly, I am ready for this football season to be over, then maybe our household will be back to relative normal....

I watched this movie Saturday night- good chick flick....It was nice to see a happy ending.

I had my fill last week of mean, nasty people. It's hard for me to understand how people can be so mean to each other and sometimes it is hard to "turn the other cheek". Someday maybe I will be brave enough to call out the mean people, but probably not- and really what good would it do. Those type of people probably are hoping someone will do that, so then they can be mean some more....

Update: So I have decided to buy these products & in order to do this, I am now a distributor. There are no monthly minimums or anything...so if anyone is curious or would like some samples, let me know...

Has anyone ever tried the following products?

A friend of mine gave me some samples and I have to say I really like them. The drink below- Thin, is so good. I don't use it as a replacement for food, but it does help me not eat so much at lunch and dinner! Sometimes, when I am sitting at my desk, all I can think about is FOOD, so if I have this drink with something small, I get full quick. And this liquid vitamin, Ultimate, is really tasty too. All of us are taking this. The kids don't even mind drinking it alone. At first I mixed it with juice, but it tastes really good by itself, so I just give everyone a small amount in the morning....

Stencils

Go to Better Homes & Gardens and look at all the free stencils you can print out for your Halloween pumpkin. We have never tried using a stencil- but they look so cute & fun, I think we will this year.

Tustin Tiller Days

The girls competed again for the 3rd year...(I think)...Their routine was really cute. After the parade they had to rush to the field to be on time to the football game. At halftime they performed another dance (from their cheer camp) with the Lakewood cheerleaders. It was pretty neat to see both cheer squads out there doing the same routine.

Right after half time, they learned that they took 2nd place out of 8 other teams in the parade competition.

Why is it when I feel like getting things accomplished around the house, I don't have time to do it, yet when I actually have the free time to do things, I don't??? What's wrong with that?

I have been in the cleaning, declutter, re-decorate phase, but I don't have time to actually do anything....Here is what I want my closet to look like....I already have the shelves, so I could make my closet look like this, if I put a little effort into- what do you think- pretty cool, huh?
