Got a serious workout today

Decided on a whim to take the two little boys on a hike in the woods. Brian carried Georgie in the sling and I lugged the camera. It was a muddy, wet mess, but lots of fresh air and we finally got a good look at Munds Canyon, which is a very large running stream right now. I'm sure my geography is way off, but it was nice to look at. Lots of tracks, but no animal sightings, not even birds. I think the four of us crashing around is enough to scare off anything. We were not even a little bit stealthy. It was quite a slog, but we did it.

Facebook Challenges/Quizzes

I probably get at least one challenge or quiz from someone on Facebook every day and I know that's probably nothing compared to the people who have a bazillion friends on there, but most of the time, they are pretty tiresome. I got one today from Scrapbooks Etc's Melissa Inman and it was very cool.

Here's the challenge:

1 - BAND NAME Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random article”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - ALBUM TITLE Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - COVER ART Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together.

Back from the Dead

I am almost recovered from the cough/cold from hell.....seriously, I thought I would never ever get better, but the symptoms themselves were not alarming, just endless.

We have been staying home a LOT, watching TONS of TV and movies. George was pretty happy about it (he didn't get very sick at all, lucky boy) and seems to be lovin' the homebody thing.



I, on the other hand, am quite perturbed that despite wanting to swoon and fall down, was still required to do all the dishes and laundry. Believe me, that particular debt will be repaid in spades next time someone else I know is "sick."

February Wishes

Here's the things I am coveting right now, in order of desired-ness.



I love this frame from Ikea and it's only $25!It would be totally perfect for my studio/office.



I really need this birdie necklace from Figs and Ginger 4 baby birds for me!



I haven't gotten anything scrappy in a long, long time and this fits the bill perfectly and it's even sold at Walmart!

That's it, no diamonds or furs...just little happy things.
