Google has done it again...

I must say every google application I use I absolutely love. Today was I was playing with Google's Picasa 3 I noticed the collage feature and boy am I excited. It is super easy to use and it makes me look like I actually know what I am doing with regards to formatting digital photography. So yes I plan on using and abusing this feature on this blog. Great ready for Collage overload. To start you off here are a few I created while playing around.

Windows Vista SUCKS!

First, to my mother, I would like to apologize for my language if you are reading this but there is truly no other way to express how I feel.

Secondly, to all other Vista users out there, I am sure you understand exactly how I feel and there is no need for me to go on a huge rant or stand on my soap box and express how this operating system is ruining my life.

And lastly, Thank you BlimpTV for understanding expressing exactly how I feel.

Survey Says.....

Thank you to all of our friends and family who participated in our "Where Should We Live?" Survey. The survey results are in and Mark and I have finally made a decision. So now for the big announcement.

DRUMROLL PLEASE.............

We have taken your advice and we are moving to Fort Worth ........ eventually. But for now I will be moving to Wichita to finally live with my husband after being apart for 7 long years. Goodbye Houston! Its been a good run but its time to move on and for Mark and I begin the rest of our life.

Why do all free blog backgrounds look like myspace pages for 12 year olds?

I have officially reached the end of the internet in search of a decent free blog background. I have seen the cute, the ugly, the girly, the sparkly, but none good for a blog co-authored by a husband and wife. Maybe that is because Mark wants barb wire and I am more of a damask traditional style. If only there was a happy medium.

So as I continue my search for something acceptable or figure out how to operate some type of graphic editing software please enjoy the absolutely boring dark gray background.

Happy reading and thanks for following.

Monumental Day for the Taurus

For the last few weeks in preparation for this monumental occasion I have almost wrecked my car 3 times because I did not want to miss watching the odometer click from 99,999 miles to 100,000 miles. (I know its the small things that bring pleasure to my day.) Since I could not wait any longer I proceeded to circle the block until it finally read ....So now its time for the wheels to fall off, the breaks to go out, the paint to oxidize, and the electrical system to take on a life of its own. Taurus its been a good run, lets go for 200,000 because Mark is not planning on a buying a new car until hell freezes over.
