eep. I am feeling tired and more than a bit groggy while I wait for the coffee to kick in this morning.
Yesterday felt that a slow-motion whirlwind. Does that make sense? So much happened but at the same time, the day dragged and dragged.

I am breathing a bit easier over the taxes. The third time was the charm for Scott. We figured it out, everything is entered and he owes $4. LOL Two returns down and now Cait's is the one left to go. The babies' surgeries were fine, turned out that Evie's lump was not a mammary tumor but a lipoma. The vet was very excited that it was a lipoma b/c he doesn't get to see them often in rats *G* Also, if it grows back, there is no need to have it removed. Imogene came through fine physically but she isn't handling the incision well. She is somewhat neurotic (for real) and has a stress issue where she pulls the fur from her hands and belly when she is stressed. She had been digging at the incision and pulled the glue off while she was still at the vet. Cait and Gary wrapped her in an Ace bandage to block her from getting to the glue again. If she pulls the glue off she has to go back and get it reglued before it bleeds too much or gets infected. it was not a relaxing time for her after she picked them up.
Leah passed her exam! That was fantastic news. Scott's appt with the GI turned out to not be a GI- he is listed on the insurance website as one but is actually a colo-rectal Dr. The positive spin on those is that even though he can't do anything to treat Scott, after discussing symptoms he doesn't think it is colitis so that's a relief. This means it is looking more like a relapse of Lyme which is bad. We will have to see how he does with the next couple of appts he has and go from there. Cait's dentist appt was good- no cavities!! But she needs to have her wisdom teeth out, which she is going to do after her semester is over. The reason her wisdom teeth are grey is due to the abx she was on before they erupted. At least they will be gone in a few months ;)

Today Cait and I are heading to the FP in the morning and then I need to clean the house a bit since I am having my parents come inside. It has been a long time since anyone has been in here and while I know that they won't judge me, I might as well jump on to the feeling of needing to clean while it exists.
So that is about it from me. Wishing all of you a very wonderful day! Enjoy the weekend!

@taxed4ever That is ridiculous about the pool! I think it is a good idea to contact the town. If there wasn't a reduced capacity and waitlist, I can see that it might not be an issue. But under the circumstances, no way! Good for you for speaking up!
I loved your Story Book page. I have to try that one, I always have a hard time getting started but end up having a blast doing it.

@scrap-genie Off-kilter seems to be the only way to describe life right now. Like the sanding shifting all of the time under our feet. Sorry that you missed part of the program's deadline but it seems like it won't be too much of a problem? Hehe, when Leah called us last night to tell us the good news, I told her that I was happy but not surprised. She said that she wasn't sure if she was going to pass- sound like Caitlyn too.
Hope that you get to see a Grackle soon!

@BrightEyes - Nice job with the taxes!! I hope that the Senior Center is able to reopen soon. It is funny/ironic that your foot is bothering you again too- so has my ankle. Here's to the warmer weather helping that soon. Good luck with your appts in the coming week.

@Cherylndesigns Ugh, how maddening about the hotspot. Good luck with getting everything taken care of with the downloads as you can. I wish it was simple enough to go to a coffee shop, grab a cup and do what you need to do. Someday that will be safe again but will you have wifi at home by then? [no idea smilie]
I am so happy to have company in the Crazy Emotions Arena. It is really good to know I am not alone in the mental mess of life. Is DD have a blast holding the sweet baby? I miss having other people's babies to snuggle.

@felis- I keep wanting to ignore life at this point, then force myself to do something, but then get distracted, and then I do that all over again. Is that how you are feeling too? It stinks.
I logged in last night to see if there was an update by Rae and I hope that Remi is ok...

Good grief! I wrote a post last night and I kept saving my drafts and never posted it. I really just can't do as much as I used to with multi-tasking because I forget things. Good grief!! I keep checking in to see if Rae has posted anything about Remi. That is just so heartbreaking.

Chris @faerywings I am glad that the vet appointment went well. And yea for Scott's taxes being done with only owing $4. Not good news about the possibility that Lyme is raising its ugly head for him again. I can’t imagine how happy your mom must be. To think that you and your brother will both be vaccinated at the same time. How awesome is that! And to think of a world where you could go back to cleaning.

Trudy @taxed4ever good grief. The guy had to have the whole lane to himself? When everyone is struggling so. Selfishness just never ends. Shaun volunteered last year with his assistant swim coach to coach young swimmers and he said tonight that he wants to volunteer again this year. Life guarding season kicks off here in 2 weeks and he it at a meeting to kick off the season right now.

Jean, @scrap-genie I think your description that the world is off kilter is perfect. Things are just constantly in a state of crazy. Hope you got to see some birds yesterday. My feeder is busy this morning but I haven't seen any cardinals...I hear them singing in the woods but none have shown up at the feeder. Had some beautiful bluebirds there however.

Kay @BrightEyes I'm glad that you have the opportunity to stay off your feet a bit. And I agree, this virus has been so hard on everyone. But especially the old and the young...stealing so many opportunities.

Cheryl @Cherylndesigns I love that CiCi the dictator is keeping everyone in line. But that wifi situation would be killing me. You are my hero for the week getting through all of this with a hotspot.

@felis I love reading about your holidays. I'm glad that you enjoyed the information about the buttons that allow the dogs to talk. I've ordered a small starter set for Andie and Hayden. I'll let you know how it goes.

Now, I need to get some scrapping done. Instead of chatting all the time. Talk to you all later.

I had the best news yesterday when I checked email again right after posting here. I have had the credential of Certified Genealogist since 2005. But it is only good for five years, then you have to submit new work to be judged to see if you continue to be qualified. I find the renewals very nerve-wracking and this one, the third, even more so. I really wasn't sure I'd make it. But I did!! :D (Boy do we need more emojis) Big sigh of relief. I'm good to go to 2025.

This morning was the meeting of the group that is getting a delayed newsletter, but no one complained (right, that would mean someone else might have to do the work. ;)) In an hour our monthly program is with a wonderful speaker we could only get by being virtual. Looking forward to it and we have over 40 registered, a new record for us.

Still no grackles yesterday but I did check the neighborhood winter aconite which is in full bloom along with a lonely snowdrop.

@faerywings Chris, seems like the usual roller coaster in your family with good news and not so good. Fingers crossed it isn't Lyme with Scott, but then it has to be something. Congrats to Leah. I was sure she'd be fine, but then read above, so I can relate.

@LSlycord How nice to have bluebirds in your yard! Birds do enliven things, don't they?

Sure wishing better things for Rae and Remi.

Hoping everyone is having a nice, sunny day.

Wow Jean. Congratulations on the recertification of the Certified Genealogist. That is impressive! And, yes, the birds do keep it lively! I love it!

Hello lOvelies!
Some people (and by 'some people' understand my neighbors) thinks that lux give value to the life. The neighbor woman made nasty comment to my mom, that she is surprised to find that we live there, as she know my mom from previous, and she is surprised that my mom is OK with the old look of the cat house. After they came at our neighborhood, they constantly renovate their house and looks like she think this is meaningful. My mom anger and insults me, by asking isn't it time to allow on my dad to update the house a little bit. Of course, it's not! This is my house!!! My dad helps me enough financial, and I don't want more money, and definitely don't want to invest in renovation, just to please my neighbor! I calculated the possibility cost, and for this amount I can foster few cats for a year. Yes the interior is very old, and the exterior isn't in good shape. But first the cats don't care for that, and second, I can't just get rid off of my grandparents furnitures!
I absolutely don't care what think about me some strangers, but my mom to not tell straight in her stupid face that I'm saving lives, to accept someone to call me 'odd cat lady', this really hurts me! And it's good to mention that in my town the price of the different houses not depend from the neighbours as you was told me it's in US. You can sell one house for 1 million, and the other next to it for $100 thousands. It's based only on what property have in it.


Jean, congrats for your credential of Certified Genealogist! I'm not surprised that numbers of new members grown, it's sounds so intriguing!

Linda, the button is very interesting, and now I'm wondering do I can train cats to use it too? Definitely tell me what you think when you try it!

Chris, I was ask you before, as cats often takes off the stitches and have to wear Surgery Recovery Suits few weeks. I was thought that Cait may make them from baby socks for the rats, as my cat's are from knee socks. LOL! :p Hope everything will be fine with the girls!
Hooray for Leah and sorry to hear that Scott don't have more clarity around this health issue! I can imagine how worried you are! Hug!

Wave to the others!

Good afternoon lovely OOOOO's.

Felis, that's terrible about your mom and you have every right to be angry. And the neighbors??? Honestly, that's one reason we all decided to come live "in the middle of nowhere". NO neighbors NO HOA (Home Owners Association) to drive us crazy! We can do whatever we want out here.

Jean, @scrap-genie Huge congratulations on getting your certification!! I know how much that must mean to you - you're so involved in this wonderful life event and you're helping all of us a little bit. We belong to the Mormon's Family Search and I never realized how everybody's pieces of information helped the big picture.

Linda @LSlycord you just made my day!! It hasn't been easy to deal with this hotspot, but thanks for the boost!! My Cici the Dictator ends today! They'll be home this afternoon. I haven't really relaxed since I took on that role.

Chris @faerywings I think we all feel like the sand is shifting under our feet. Either that or the plates are constantly moving. I'm honestly kind of glad that we don't have live TV. I can't watch the live news that's on 24/7. I think that's been a good thing. There's enough of it on FB but you don't know what to believe on there and I try to stay off of there as much as possible.

I'll be posting a LO or two in our gallery of the baby. The pictures I'm getting are just beautiful! Ava's done such an outstanding job with her photo shoot.

Waving to all and group hug.

Cheryl, Now I shall not rest until I take my revenge on this woman! But my mom to not maintain me, that's really hurt. My grandparents bought this place when it was the last ferm, only fields after my yard. But urbanisation eated it! They put street, then new row of houses, another street and fields are after that. In future maybe even there will grown new houses. The new people aren't familiar with the farm life and complaining from everything, dogs bark, dirt after sheeps, the houses look! It's so frustrating. I want to live alone at wild. There is few girl I watch in YouTube, that do that. But the crime level in my country is very high and it's too risky! And after all this is my property! My granny has difficult and painful life just to be able to leave this heritage for us! The house that I'm calling cat house (because my cats lives there now) is her house. She is help in putting every 'ugly' window. When my parents get married my dad's father make a gift to paint the house. How I could repaint it now, or change the windows deface all the sights left from their own hands?
My dad just builded for us brand new house on a place where before was the sheep building. It was painful for me to remove even this! He was plan to build at other side of the yard, but after one serious flood years ago the empty buildings was damaged dangerously, so there has to be removed anyway. OK, enough about my irritation!

So, @Cherylndesigns Please tell me that the boy who kiss Kinleigh's head on the photo is not her father! It couldn't be, he is so young!

good evening - omgosh the weather has been so winter like. I know it is still winter but it is March and I want warmer weather. The wind it just the worst. We walked on a dike today and the wind was brutal. But we did walk and saw lots of geese. They are heading north and I love hearing them. My DH did a good deed today. A year ago my youngest son panic bought some food and today we donated it to our local food pantry. A local church was doing the collection. None of it was passed expiration so that was best. It was a lot of rice, dried beans, ramen noodles. I hope it can be used by someone. My poor Devils have forgotten how to play hockey. They cant make passes and they cant score and then they cant keep the puck out of their own net. I know they are young but it is hard to watch. I did watch the women's hockey game on TV. It was fun. They are awesome. My DH got his first shot so I am happy about that. He said his arm was sore but that was about it. So he will get his second April 2. Makes me so happy! Not much else.

@faerywings Chris this wind is horrible. The weather man said we have to make it 72 hrs and then the temps should rise. I am hoping! Congrats on the surgeries going so well for the rats. Sorry about Cait and her wisdom teeth. Congrats to Leah on passing her exam. She will be needed in these times. Congrats for passing the teaching exam too! I am really impressed you did so well with the taxes. I hate numbers and I don't want to have to know the laws. I don't know why it has to be so complicated.

@taxed4ever Trudy that is terrible about the management of the pool and allowing one person to take one lane. You should write a letter. I have been watching and the Boston Bruins are looking really good. I like your story book page. I just cannot do that type of page!

@BrightEyes Kay sorry about your foot! Hope that things continue to improve so you can have your center opened even on a limited basis.

@scrap-genie Jean congrats on again receiving your Genealogy certificate. That is awesome! We have seen robins and I think a kinglet and of course the geese which seem to be getting ready to head north. I have heard red-wings and have seen grackles. I am sure they will be your way soon!

@Cherylndesigns Cheryl I will go looking for the baby pages. It is always fun to see those new baby photos. Hope being the dictator is going well!

@LSlycord - I cant believe that pools are opening so soon. We still have lots of snow on the ground.

@felis OMgosh I cant believe some neighbors have the nerve to say such things to your mother about your property. I am sure that there are people in my neighborhood that think I don't keep my lawn up to their standards but I don't use pesticides so I have lots of dandelions but I like them. Good luck with having to deal with them in the future! I think saving cats is so important!

Waving to all!

Happy Sunday!
I was able to sleep until 6.30 today. Part of the reason was the dogs had me up at 4 and it took me a long time to get back to sleep. I have to admit, I am a bit anxious this morning. Not the actual vaccination but leaving the house hahaha!
I ended up not going to the FP yesterday. Cait had to stay and watch Imogene- she is still bandaged up but not happy about the situation. And I was itching to start cleaning. By the time I was done, my legs were tired. I am not used to that much work anymore.
Not much happening here other than my vax and my parents coming inside to visit! :p It is so nice to feel hopeful about getting together with family and friends this summer.

@LSlycord your brain sounds like mine- things don't make the connections sometimes *G* I keep checking in for Rae and I am hoping that I am wrong but that she isn't back doesn't sound like it is good :(
I catch myself thinking about going back to cleaning and food shopping in person (ask anyone how I used to feel about that!!! ) and I am amazed at how far I have fallen in the past year bwuhahahah!!
Shaun is such a good kid- you raised him well.

CONGRATS JEAN!!!!!!!!!! @scrap-genie That is wonderful news!!! yay!!!! Even though the newsletter was missing some info, *winks* it looks like you still have lots of people involved in the meetings and seminars. How was the speaker, what was the topic?

@felis- silly busybody neighbors. Do you have that phrase? Nosy? sticking their noses where it doesn't belong? Anyway, it is too bad that your mom felt pressured to ask you to fix the cat house up. IMHO- it is better to keep the cats in a safe place than to make it look pretty.
Caitlyn has tried to use socks on her rats post-surgery before and when it doesn't work on calm rats, it definitely won't work on these crazy babies. Rats heal very quickly so hopefully in the next day or so Imogene can get unwrapped for good. Evie can't get to her stitches with her teeth and keeps washing the area with her hands but that doesn't bother the glue/incision. Can you imagine trying to put a cone on a rat?? hahahahahahaaa!!!!!!!!!

@Cherylndesigns I am so lucky that even though I have neighbors that live close to us, we are all very friendly and non-judgemental. But yeah, I can see the point in being far, far away from other people. I rarely watch the news on TV. We watched on Jan 6th for a few hours and the anchors were repeating the same old stuff over and over again. Caitlyn and I were able to get better, more accurate news from following a few good reporters on the ground on Twitter.
As for what is true-- I have 5 different fact-checking websites bookmarked and I scan them just about every day. It is too easy to stay in an information silo these days so this helps to keep me based in reality.
I hope that things will settle a bit for all of us. It has been an unsteady time for sure.

@nancyr I am sooooo upset with the weather- we had snow flurries yesterday. Woke up to a dusting-- just a tiny bit but it had stuck to the driveway and cars. I am with you, hoping that it gets warmer soon. As someone who goes to a FP, I appreciate you donating so much!
C'mom, Devils!! Get your act together. When will the games be open to the public? Will you go when they are? Congrats to DH! Did he do anything for the soreness in his arm? I heard that at this point in time, the scientists aren't sure if pain relievers/fever reducers decrease the immune response so I don't want to take anything like that if it does hurt later on. I wonder if ice or heat would help?

I have to get in the shower so I am off. HAGD!!!

@faerywings Oh, I understand you so good. I'm start to hate meet with people outside of the family! Last time has a line at the office and I considered to escape and get back later. LOL! They usually phone call us when to be there, but my coworker is very talkative and was stay too long.
I'm never see treatment on rats, I'm see only guinea pig surgery and was wondering how they secure them!

:p We have phrase: don't sticking your noses!
Ironically, but I absolutely love shows about people renovating their house. We watch TV channel that only shows people search to buy house or, other renovated their. I find it very relaxing and intrigue. And in our house dad all the time change or upgrade something. But the other house is heritage and this makes it different case for my heart.

Good morning ladies. Slow starter today. I did get a layout done yesterday. And watched a championship high school basketball game back in Iowa. Sydney had played with several of their players for years in AAU and we had traveled with their families so we were pretty emotionally engaged. They won...it was a back and forth game and I was literally standing for most of the game and screaming. By the end of the game, even Shaun was down to watch the outcome. So thankful for the internet! Then I made it to the grocery store which is really my least favorite task! In 3 weeks, we are supposed to have a new store open that is literally 5 minutes to our house. I am giddy over that prospect!

@faerywings yay for sleeping in and the last year has taken such a toll on all of us. Is your appointment tomorrow or Tuesday? Mine is Tuesday morning and I am ready. I think that mine is Moderna so I will need a second shot but I'm good with that. I can't wait to hear about that first visit with your parents IRL. Who knew that IRL was going to become such a hard thing to do?

@nancyr it is only 57 today and it is supposed to hit 64 so I'm not swimming for sure. But we are supposed to be in upper 70's and low 80's by the end of the week. So there may be some kids to watch at the pools when they open. Love that you were able to donate to the food pantries. We have started doing something similar and it is about time to do this again. We stock up for hurricane season and then when the season ends, we donate that food. It's not expired...not even close. But it's stuff that I keep in the pantry in case we lose power for a long time. The bottled water we keep and drink through the offseason. Hurricane preparedness has taken some getting used to. LOL

@felis I am so sorry that your neighbors are acting the way that they are. You certainly have quite a heritage where you live. How emotionally tied you must be to that home.

@Cherylndesigns glad that the CiCi dictator role is done for now. That would be a big responsibility! And I'm glad I made your day because I really would have been crazy in your WiFi situation. You have been outstanding!

Need to get going. Brian is doing some yardwork but I'm thinking maybe a bit of gardening...and at least one more layout today. And a walk or two...my step count is embarrassing. I've got to pick it up. I've never been so sedentary...that's what happen when you work from home.

Morning ladies and happy Sunday! I was MIA from here yesterday as we had to have an early brunch and get up to the In-Laws to help do some cleaning and install a new toilet for them. It was nice to see them again and they are doing well. They have been really keeping to themselves and they were happy to have us as company! MIL is really struggling to walk around in the house, but still I do not see a walker upstairs being used :mad:. She has one downstairs so that she can get out side and uses it then, but they do have another one that is supposed to be for the upstairs, stubborn woman!! So most of our day was spent helping them out with a few things. I also dropped off a card for a good friend of mine from our hiking group and had a social distance visit with her while DH waited in the truck. She lives alone and we are missing each others company and our hiking! Today we will be bottling a white wine a Riesling Gewürztraminer, I am sure it will be tasty!! The tunes will be playing in the background, so it should be an enjoyable morning! Hoping that the sun comes out at some point today so we can be outside for a bit and do some yard work.

@faerywings - Hope that the rats heal quickly and sorry for Cait that she has to have her wisdom teeth extracted!! Congrats to Leah for passing her exam! Poor Scott, not knowing what his condition is must be frustrating and I truly hope it is not a relapse of Lymes!! Nice that you got your cleaning done, but too bad the dogs had you up so darn early! Good luck with your vaccination appt and hope you don't have a panic attack about actually leaving the house LOL. It is a strange feeling I have to admit as I get anxious whenever I go to the pool. Yes I think I will start my letter to the Mayor and City Council today. My Gary will be able to help me with it as he is very good at things like that. Me not so much LOL. I just get pissed off and swear :rolleyes:.

@LSlycord - Yup the entire world is off kilter for sure! I know exactly how you feel! I keep forgetting to do things all day long LOL. I too am concerned that the new is not good for poor Remi and it is heartbreaking to think of Rae and her family going through yet another sad time in their lives!

@scrap-genie - Congrats to you Mrs. Smarty Pants!! I am so happy for you! It feel so good to have accomplished this certification! Yes we do need more emojis!! Hope you see the grackles soon, we have not seen any yet either.

@felis - That is horrible about your neighbour! They need to mind their own business and never mind about yours!! What you are doing to save the cats is far more important than what your Cat's house looks like! Busy body neighbours are the worst!

@nancyr - Sure hope that your weather improves but good for you for getting out for your walk anyway! Nice to be able to donate all that food! I am sure it was greatly appreciated! Nice that you both have gotten your vaccinations hope your DH's arm is not too sore and that the second shot does not effect him like it did you! We will be watching the Devils and Bruins game today, so we are hoping that the Devils don't make us look bad like the last time. Although I am sure you are hoping the opposite LOL. I was wondering if you will be going back to the arena also to see them play anytime soon?

Ok I am off to make a nice omelette for DH and myself, then we better get busy with the bottling. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Good morning my lovlies. It's a beautiful day here - going up into the 60's again today! The dogs and I got our nice walk in yesterday and they're waiting for their walk today.

Felis @felis I'm so sad about your living "situation". I can visualize the invasion of modernization going on around you! There's a song that's playing in the back of my head as I read this. It's called "They Paved Paradise" - here's the link to YouTube if you'd like to listen. I think you'll like it.
Well, I see the video went on here.

Yes, that boy is my grandson, Jordan, Kinleigh's father. He looks like a teenager, but he's 22 years old. I can't believe that, even as I write it! My grandbabies are that old! Kinleigh's mommy is 21.

Chris @faerywings I'm glad the rats are doing well. Bless their tiny hearts and legs and tails. J/K but they ARE tiny! I'd love to see the vet working on those tiny bodies. You're right about what's true! I try to take everything with a grain of salt. Whatever side of the aisle one is on - the news hounds play to that side. I found that out on FB. It's a crazy time.

We're SO happy to be rid of those stinkin' HOA's - they're terrible in Florida - Linda @LSlycord have you encountered those lovely people yet? My DD got turned in because she planted the wrong color of flowers in her OWN yard! We have a running joke here - "We ARE the HOA"! There are now 4 old vehicles waiting to be restored - sitting down by the barn. When our SUV and Braden's truck were stuck down there, it looked like a car lot.

Trudy @taxed4ever you and your husband are wonderful to help his parents out like you do! I hope they realize how lucky they are! A new toilet? That's some hard work right there! Kudos to you both!!

Linda @LSlycord it's never too early for hurricane preparedness! We always kept lots of bottled water in our garage. Some people laughed at us, but hey, we were going to have water. We knew we could use the pool water for flushing if worse came to worse, but we were going to have drinking water, too. I remember going through a couple of them, although the west side rarely gets blasted - Charlie was bad, though, went right up the west coast! They're still scary - you never quite know what to expect.

I got such a kick out of your calling me your hero yesterday and told my hubby about it. He laughed so hard. In fact, in your honor, I took pictures of "my office" yesterday. I'll post them when I get them resized. I sit in the car, laptop on my lap (see, that's why they named them laptops) and mouse on the laptop, or using my finger (I have a touchscreen). I'll tag you when I get them ready to post. You can also see the "primitive" area we live in.

Hugs to all and waves. Have a great Sunday!

Hello again lOvelies!
Second try for me, to make full post as I got distracted previous time. I was interrupted, and had to go for a while. This weekend I'm posting in unusual time, and can't plan it well.
OMG, girls, thank you so much for your lovely comments on my March page! I still can't understand when I have new comment on my layout, now when all announcement coming thru the bell, I wasn't noticed it's for the gallery too, not only when someone tag me!

The weekend flies so fast! And not much accomplished. It was so sunny, but still cold! So I had a lazy day, with lots of play with the pets. I don't know are you watched "How to Be a Latin Lover"? But I'm kidding that I'm the minor character Cindy.
(the voice is strange, sorry). I strongly recommend this movie, as it's so hilarious!


Chris,see above :D:rolleyes: !

Trudy, I'm so happy to hear that your ILs accepted some help and time together! I know how much you was missing days like this!

Nancy, how generosity to donate all this! I'm sure you'll make someone happy! I'm not surprised that your son was storage you so well, your boys are so caring! Oh, I love dandelions too! When is bloom left one part not mowed, it's sooo pretty!

Linda, some exercise at garden is the best! I already planted some flowers, but maybe I was hurry too much, because the cold wave get back. Do you plant already or just prepare the garden?

Cheryl, thanks for the song (I'm a huge music fan and know it from before. YES! it's so accurate about my situation, very accurate!!!)! I was read the caption under the photo at IG, but decided I'm not translate it right, he looks ridiculously young, definitely not on 22 (which also is soo early for child).
OMG, laptop, on top of your lap, this never came in my mind, they are just a foreigner words that comes here and I never was thinking behind.

Felis @felis I agree - Jordan's too young to have a child. Especially since he's so immature. People used to have children when they were 18 or 19 but now I think it's better to wait until you're 25 or so. Anyway, of course, he's not married to Kinleigh's mother. I just hope he grows up quickly for that baby's sake. I'm glad you liked the song - it just popped into my mind when I was reading about all of your troubles with your "neighbors" - if you can call them that. It was completely rolling around in my head as I was reading your post and I HAD to find it for you.

I'm working on a layout right now about me sitting in the car using the wifi at a country restaurant/bar that's nearby. How's that for dedication? After Linda @LSlycord gave me the "award" I decided that I had to scrap about how I have to download my files now. It's actually pretty funny now that I'm looking at it from a scrapping point of view.

I'll tag you girls (or let you know when I post my pages in the gallery) - there are going to b 2 or them. My hubby also took pictures of me working in "my office". That's what I'm calling my layouts. Haha
