( another year, another look back... )
Megan turned 8 on Saturday, and we had her birthday party at the park this year. The weather was perfect. It ended up being really fun and relaxed. She got a lot of ocean/sea-themed presents because she's really into that stuff right now. And now Jenna's birthday is next Monday, "party" on Sunday and then I can finally relax again. Birthdays are serious business.</div>

Zach: "Most guys have condoms in their wallet, but I have...tea!" *whips out a packet of tea*

When the hell did Facebook get a chat feature????? I just signed on to check and approved a few friend request and then I immediately got a chat thing from one of the guys. I freaked out a little.

And apparently someone else from HS died and I can't seem to find out how or why. I forget how much FB can frak with your head. :/

Today I went to a memorial service for a family friend that recently passed. He died last Monday, the 17th and I've been crying off and on ever since. It's just sad. He was active in a few chat rooms and people knew and loved him. He called them his "invisible" friends and obviously this sort of struck a chord with me. LiveJournal is such a big part of my life, but yet I hardly ever post.

This really got me thinking (as death tends to do), if something were to happen to me, how long would it take for someone to notice? If ever even. For as much time as I spend on LJ, I rarely post and when I do it's of no real importance. I think people have gotten to know me more by the comments I make rather than my own posts. That's kind of sad.  All this introspection has really left me feeling like a big waste of space. Like I simply exist and nothing more. I'm in too far too big of a funk to really know how to fix my life, but I figure I can start small here on LJ. I'm going to try and post at least every couple of weeks (compared to once a month) and I' haven't been commenting as I used to, so I'll start that again.

I always have all these things I usually want to say & I plan on posting but then...I just never do. For instance we-Zach, Megan, Jenna & I- went to San Diego at the beginning of the month. I had this whole before and after post planned, but I never did it. In fact I still haven't gotten around to editing all the photos from the trip.  But I finally got some photos uploaded today. You can see them on my FLICKR account. I'll post some here when I'm all done *crosses fingers*

Ugh that's it for now. My face is all puffy & me eyes burn from all the crying I did today, but hopefully things will improve from here. Expect to hear from me more from now on.

So I just saw this posted in some community and I forgot how funny this was. My cheeks now burn from all the laughing.

Enjoy!

Help please?

Does anyone know of a site or program that lets you basically back-up your bookmarks folders??? Ever since outoftime  posted that she lost her bookmarks when FF updated, I've been completely paranoid. I have so many damn bookmarks that I know I would never be able to find everything again if I lost them. Losing my recipe folder alone would be enough to make me cry. :/

So is there some external place where I can 'transfer' all my currents ones to or somehow download them or just something??? Help?

Jenna says Hello!

It's been a while since I've done a picspam, so here ya go---just a mini one.

Megan and Zach are actually in West Virginia. They left last Thursday & return this Saturday, so the house has been really quiet. To welcome them back I'm baking cupcakes that I've wanted to make for a long time now. I'm excited. And that pretty much sums up my life. :/

I found these two pictures the other day. One is of Megan in preschool, and the other is me in preschool.


Megan is 4. I am 4.5

edwardcullen's birthday is coming up in June 20th!



This made me laugh this morning when I saw it in my inbox.

Here we go again! I don't know if I'll do this tomorrow because I have to finish up my root canals. :/

1.) Would you rather be extremely lucky or be extremely smart...but not both lucky and smart?

2.) Would you rather have a small butt on your forehead or 2 little feet dangling beneath your chin?

3.) For the rest of your life, would you rather choose the same drink and the same meal every time you eat or have someone else always choose what you eat for you?

4.) Would you rather have to spend a day wearing underwear filled with syrup or wearing underwear filled with gravel?

Ok, that was fun (for me), so let's do some more! A few of your answers surprised me.

1.) Would you rather have your skin change colors based on how you are feeling....like red for anger or blue for sadness or wildly flail your arms around whenever you walk?

2.) Would you rather have an extra hand where one of your feet is or have an extra eye where one of your hands is?

3.) Would you rather eat the chewed food out of a stranger's mouth or clean between a stranger's toes with your tongue? (And yes, you must answer this one ;P)

4.) Would you rather have to do an entire night's homework assignment with a pen taped to your elbow or with a pen taped to your nose?

Let's play a game! Megan & I were playing one of her games where there are different 'would you rather' questions, and challenges and I thought it 'd be fun to ask some of the questions here. Some are gross (really gross) and some are thoughtful.

PLEASE PLAY :)

1.) Would you rather be stuck on an island for 2 years with 20 friends of your choice or be stuck on an island with 20 famous people of your choice?

2.) Would you rather suck fresh milk directly from the udder of a cow or drink store-bought milk 2 days after it's "gone bad"?

3.) Would you rather be known as a thief or a liar?

oh Twilight fandom, NEVER FUCKING CHANGE. I <3 you.

Sometimes I read flisting as 'fisting' and my eyes briefly pop out of my head, especially when it's someone you wouldn't expect to say that.

Last night's episode was by far my favorite episode. EVER.

And right as they were saying the thing about candy bars having 8 insect legs in them, I had just finished a candy bar. :X

( My Little Pony, My Little Pony.. )

Carry on.

I really don't like Catherine Hardwicke. She kind of makes me gag :X

I want to make icons, but I just can't. :/

I also need to change my layout and mood theme. Blek.

Oh holy fuck. Seriously I think I stopped breathing for a minute.


Here's the thing---I HATE smoking. I despise it with every fiber of my being, but that?!? HOT.
