CONTEST!!!!!!

I am hosting a CONTEST!!! Yes My Very First Ever CONTEST...... Can everyone hear me yelling out CONTEST! Want to win a small package of fun Las Vegas "stuff"???? I can't say what will be in each of the THREE packages, But I will say there will be (in each package) at least a real set of playing cards from one of the casinos... and a real pair of dice from a casino.... maybe even the same casino *smile*

So what do you have to do you ask... I will tell you, it is soooo simple....

1.) Take a picture of your library. **Any library, your home, or public, heck any stack of 2 or more books is all good with me**

2.) Post it on your homeschool blog.

3.) Link to me, so others can join in on the fun.

4.) Come back here and leave me a comment so I know to add your name to the magic hat....

On March 20th. I will have ButterBean reach into the magic hat and pull three names out... I will post the winners and you can email me a mailing address so I can send you a super duper small Las Vegas package!!!!

Come On, You know you want to do it! So do it! Teeheehee

Is It Just Me?

Tue, 6 Mar 2007 10:01:00 -0600

Has it been quiet around the homeschool blog community? Or is it just me? I miss being about to read all my friends from one page here.... I do not have time to click each blog link and wait for all the graphics, music, scripts, ect to load to read everyone every day like I use to LOVE to do! I would like homeschool blogger to bring back that feature... and maybe we can all start reading each other like we use to be able to do.... and I would also like to be able to put graphics in the comments area... which I use to do and can not do now *sad face*

Is anyone out there with me on these issues? Or am I alone.....

Peace & Happiness,

83 Pairs Of Socks

Tue, 6 Feb 2007 21:05:00 -0600

Amazing but true.... I just folded 83 pairs of socks.

I know you are all just as shocked as I am.... I dislike pairing and folding socks... I love doing laundry... Gathering, Sorting, Washing, Drying, and Folding... but not the socks.... Las Vegas is a warm city.... so we don't have to always wear socks... (one of the reasons I agreed to move here, really).

Soooooo normally I toss all the clean socks unpaired and unfolded into a laundry basket I keep in the laundry room..... so any time anyone needs a pair of socks they just go to the basket and get a pair out.... This is works for me!

But we are getting the house ready to be painted inside, and all new tiled laid through out the house... and well everything has to be out of the house.... soooooo I folded those darn socks.... UGH. All Of THEM! and guess what.... normally I could NEVER throw out a sock there wasn't a match for, tonight...... I threw out a HUGE handfull of unmatched socks... bye bye bye....

Wow.... so many changes LOL....

Peace & Happiness,

DH: Yes... and you found them.

Me: Hummmmm I don't remember.

DH: Will those fruit snacks be any good?

Me: I am guessing no. (thinking ewwww old fruit snacks from the garage)

DH: Well do you have any other fruit snacks? Maybe in your truck?

Me: Maybe...... (in my truck has he lost his mind?)

DH: Well can you help me.... I need to get these bills mailed out today.
