If you're looking for a new blog to add to your blogroll, check out Scribble Scratch. Teresa has a great way with words. She even was recently featured in a Philadelphia article about 'Paid Blogging'. Her blog is nicely laid out and I love the graphics she has.

We also have photography in common. She, however, seems to be a much better photographer than me though. Browse through the photos at her site, teresamaree.com, and you'll see what I mean. Someday when I grow up, I'd love to be a "real" photographer.

Today is my dad's birthday. We all called him at work this morning and sang happy birthday. He seemed to enjoy that. LOL Both Craig and I are coming up blank with ideas on what to get him. ARGH! It can't really be that hard, can it?

Oh my goodness, I never realized there was so much to do at Lake Tahoe, all year round! Of course you have snowboarding and skiing in the winter, but just look at all the summer Tahoe lake activities you can enjoy. All I can say is WOW! The pictures are absolutely breathtaking!

One thing Craig and I want to do is start finding mountain bike trails. There are plenty of trails around Lake Tahoe. There's an interactive map that shows where they are and how to get to them.

We still have vacation time to take this summer. It would only take us about 9.5 hours to drive there. That's easy enough to do in one day! I am seriously contemplating it. It would be so fun!

We had a fabulous time at the coast yesterday with Kim and family. She fixed us a great lunch and then we went swimming.

Early this morning about 1:30, I got woken up by what every mother dreads hearing...."Mommy, I feel like I'm going to throw up!" UGH! And in my half-asleep stupor, I now remember trying to talk her out of it. LOL Poor little Princess did get sick a couple times, but now seems to be doing great. Phew!

If you haven't read over at Cyndi's Corner recently, go check out Done. You'll be laughing. I promise. What makes it even funnier is having met Ava personally, I can just see the little glimmer in her eye as all this is going on. LOL!

So today, I have to work. A lot. I work job #2 (now job #1) and job #3 (now job #2) (follow that? No? That's ok, my best buddy Cyndi will. She assigned me the job #'s) Anyway, I have to work #3 (#2 now) today because I'm taking tomorrow off. YIPPEE!! I'm meeting up with my friend Kim who's vacationing on the coast. I'm excited, I haven't seen her in a couple years.

My cousin is pregnant with her second girl. I'm so excited! Her first daughter is just a doll! She just turned two in April and already talks so well. She calls us Auntie Kelli and Uncle Craig. I think she's going to love being a big sister! I'm sure someone will throw her a shower. If not, I may consider doing it!

Looking at baby shower decorating themes is fun! I know what I'd like, I'd like the Pooh's Playful Baby Shower Theme, but since my cousin's husband is Hawaiian, I'd go with something like the Bahama Breeze Baby Shower, which would also work great if I was throwing a luau birthday party. I love the little "Hawaiian shirt" invitations. Aren't those clever? I also think the Red Wagon theme would be great if we didn't know if it was a boy or girl. I just love that little red wagon!

Yay, it's Friday! Except, today's going to busy, busy, busy!

Princesses have swimming lessons, then I need to run to Target, then to Costco to pick up Craig's prescriptions, as well as pick up some food items, then need to go to the grocery store. Somewhere in there, we'll have to have lunch. I should pay bills at some point today too. Later this afternoon, I'm helping my dad put the new carpet in his truck and putting the seats back in so that we can use the truck tomorrow for all of us to get up at the BCOD to go quadding. I'm tired already.

Are you looking for cute household decor? I was browsing Online Discount Mart, and they have many categories like office decor, bathroom accessories, kitchen accessories and more. There's even a "Tips & Ideas" section. I definitely could use some tips, can't you?

I'm loving the Snoopy stuff. Look at this adorable Snoopy garden figurine. Wouldn't he be so cute in a flowerbed? I'm going to redo my backyard at some point and I think I'm going to have to get him.

Guess what? Now, through the end of summer, all online shoppers get 10% off their purchase! Can't beat that deal!

Man am I out of shape! My mom and I took the Princesses to the pool today. It was a great workout! I wish I was able to do that every day, as I'd be in shape in no time!

On the weightloss front, I lost another pound this week. I also think the batteries on my scale are going because it's acting weird. I hope the lost pound isn't a consequence of the batteries. LOL

My honey bought me an anniversary present a few days early. I'm hoping it will do all I want it to do and more!! :)

My former boss used to have two offices. They were 50 miles apart. Not very convenient when you're at one office and the documents you need happen to be at the other office. He finally looked into being able to have remote access on both computers, no matter where he was at. He found it to be really helpful if he was meeting with a client and needed to make changes quickly and forgot to take a disk with the original on it. He just left both computers on, logged in with his password and was able to access all his files.

It was really affordable too! It was only $4.95 a month. Much cheaper than having to drive 50 miles one way to pick up an important document that he needed right away. It was really simple to setup too, since he didn't even have to ask for my help, which shocked me as I was his "computer tech".

Next week we'll be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. It seems so long ago, but yet seems like just yesterday. I can definitely say that I am in love with him more now than I was 14 years ago, if that is at all possible!

My goodness it's hot out there! Yesterday we hit 102, so far today it's only 88. Brrr, better get out my parka!

Today I got to work and the A/C went out yesterday afternoon. UGH! It was such a stuffy sauna in there. We had fans going all over the place. I finally turned off the light in my office. It got fixed about noon or so. Phew!

Oh, and my office is getting moved. I'm now going to have an office with a window! Woohoo!

I have been thinking about changing the computer/craft/family room. I want to do something fun! Look at all the fun things you can do to help you in your home decorating. Aren't they fun?

The website is really easy to use. You just select the style, upload your picture, preview it, order it and you're done! They're also able to enlarge a photo and put it onto canvas.

I want to do a few of the popart style designs of the princesses in this room. The bright colors would really brighten it up and it would just be fun!

Craig's telling me about how on a break today, the guys sat down and made a conversion chart between their office and The Office. Everyone he's told me about fits the characters perfectly. I'm going to have to see if I can do that with my office. How funny!

Ok, one thing to say, some people need to tone down the dramatics by about half! LOL

I'm liking the Alice in Wonderland theme. I can't really say I have a "favorite" yet, but after a few more episodes, I'm sure I'll have an opinion. LOL

I wish I had Showtime right now. so I could watch the live feed show at night.

I'm not much of a fancy jewelry person. I like my jewelry simple. In looking at this website, I could easily fall in love with many of these pieces. I love the white gold or the platinum over the yellow gold. I really like this and this. They are gorgeous!

The site even has some testimonials from customers, which I think is a great way to get a feel for the customer service from a website. If you're looking for a beautiful dress and diamond pendant, check out the site! Well, at least check them out for the diamond pendant! Undoubtedly, you'll find something you can't live without!

Oooooh, I almost forgot! The premiere for Big Brother 8 is on Thursday. It's a train wreck, but I watch it anyway. I just saw a commercial for it that said one houseguest will be at the mercy of I'm assuming the viewers and they have to do whatever the viewers want and they can't say no. LOL That could be funny to watch.

Youngest Princess fell asleep on the couch tonight at about 7:30. She's been squirming around a bit, so she's getting uncomfortable. I guess I should carry her to the bathroom and get her to bed. She's been so tired lately with swimming lessons and all, plus I think she's hitting a growth spurt.

She had to come to my office today and then come with me to run some errands for work. She was a perfect little princess and we had a good time. I love days like that!

When online shopping, I try to remember to look for an online coupon code. Just the other day, I was shopping at http://www.disneyshopping.com and forgot to look for disneyshopping coupon codes. Of course, after I hit the "place order" button, then I remembered, but it was too late.

If I had had this nifty little Firefox plugin, it would have reminded me. I'm also going to sign up for the newsletter that will send me the coupon codes for the stores I use, or I can pick all stores, right to my inbox.

So if you're looking for lands end coupon codes or maybe a code for Amazon.com, go check out RetailMeNot.com. Pretty cool way to save money!

We're thinking of taking the Princesses to the drive-in tomorrow night. They're showing Ratatouille and Pirates of the Caribbean. I haven't seen the first two Pirates, but I'd probably fall asleep before it came on anyway. LOL

We had a great weekend! It started on Friday when we went to my aunt and uncle's house to swim with my cousin and her little girl. It rained on us, but we didn't care because we were already wet. LOL We had pizza and visited and then came on home. Saturday, we putzed around and got our quads ready. Sunday, we left early and went to the coast to go quadding. We had a blast! The weather was great and the princesses did a great job riding.
