Too much time on their hands or...

Mitch just sent me this photo - I have no clue how, when, where or why. Guess he is now Buzz Light Beer.

They are working insane hours, you wouldn't think they have too much time on their hands - maybe they have gone insane.

I've moved my blog

I've been blogging over there for about a month - while I got it all set up - sorry I didn't post here too.

We are the Champions!

Braeden is playing on the Parks & Recreation League again this year. The last 2 years has been very frustrating for him, because while he had nice coaches, they never seemed to win. This year, he has another nice coach, and a great group of kids on the team - and they have won all but 1 of their games, and that one ended up not counting because the other team had *illegal* players on their team. So, officially they are undefeated. They are the Parks & Recreation Champions - and they have the t-shirts to prove it.



Funny part to this story, is just before they were presented with these tshirts - they played an unofficial games against the #2 team in the league - and got their hats handed to them - 49-29.

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

Mitch and I went to this concert last night. It was great! He is promoting his new album - Face the Promise. Some good new songs on the album - we are planning on buying it. He also sang some oldies that really brought back some teenage memories.

But man, we are getting old - it was sooo loud. I would have enjoyed it more with earplugs. Especially the opening act Steve Azar - he was so loud you couldn't understand the words to the song.

Also, someone was smoking pot during the concert - think maybe we got a little buzz off the secondhand smoke. That takes a lot of guts to light up at a concert like that. If I were the one doing it, I'd be sitting next to a police officer or something.

It was great to see all ages and walks of life there - and people were really into the songs - up and dancing and singing along. We had a good time, and left with our ears ringing.

Friends

I'm lucky to have good friends that love me and know when I need chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Look what I got for Valentines Day from 2 of them. (the tin is full of various Hershey chocolates)

Aren't friends grand?

Happy Valentines Day!

Boy did I get a big surprise for Valentines Day!! I got a Sony a100 SLR Digital Camera.




As previously mentioned in my blog the Olympus digital camera I had has been nothing but a problem since I got it, so Mitch bought me this. He said that I deserved it, if for nothing more than all the laundry I do :)

Now, to learn how to take pictures with it. It is sort of intimidating - guess I'd better head to the library and see what I can find. Anyone have any recommendations?

*&%$*(#@( Camera!!!!

I absolutely HATE my digital camera and I feel so guilty saying that. I have tried to love it, truely I have. I love the man that gave it to me for Christmas 2005, thinking he had done bought me such a great gift, and so excited to give it to me, and I feel bad that I have not liked this camera from the moment I got it. It has such a slow shutter speed, that it was no great improvement over my old Sony Cybershot. And, it has already had to go in for repairs - since the zoom went out and wouldn't go back in. And now THIS......

NO, that isn't some filter I was trying out. That is the way that my camera has been taking pictures on and off for the last week or so. Aaaargh - I can tell that I am going to have to ship this camera off to Olympus again to be fixed. I hope it is still under warranty. Mitch is so mad at himself for buying this POS, and I know he was really trying to get me something he thought I'd like. I promise - after it comes back from Olympus - I will try really hard again to love it.

MSP 2nd Annual Retreat

I am so looking forward to this. Although I think that I have upset some people by my unwillingness to go to Virginia - LOL. I'll actually go wherever the majority votes to go. I'm not a total tyrant. I hate that something that was supposed to be so fun, has just about sunk our very active Yahoo group. I am hoping that we can work through it and get back to being a fun and caring group again - not sure how to make that happen though.

I am hoping that the retreat gets to be in San Antonio. Jen is moving there - and it is someplace that I have always wanted to go. So whether we get together for the retreat there or not - I will be be making a trip to San Antonio, Mitch went to San Antonio last year for work - and got some really cruddy pictures - so I definitely need better ones, and of course I need to see Jen again!!

A Reader

I always knew that Emma was going to be a reader. Every since she was just little she has loved picking up magazines, books and catalogs and "reading" them.

Today, she brought me the book "Hop on Pop" and read the whole thing. I was so surprised. I know her teacher said she was ready - but I didn't think she'd be so fluent so quickly!! I'm a proud Mommy.
