Conference time

I can't believe I haven't posted this yet!! For those in the somewhat close area be sure to come to the NW Catholic Family Education Conference May 1-2. Registration is $25 today, but goes up starting tomorrow (not sure of the price). 

Some fun friends are coming! They will be spending the night and I can't wait to stay up all night . . . ladies, bring your nail polish and refining masks ;)

KEEP TALKING

So, for those of you who tried to leave a comment on my friend's site but weren't able to, you dear souls, head on back over there now and give her a HUGE THANKS for reading these books to make life easier for the rest of us.

Seems when someone, and I won't say who, got her blog all rolled out they didn't realize that a template they had never used before was using 'embedded comments' instead of regular ones (meaning when you clicked to comment nothing happened because embedded comments require an extra little html step). . . but it is all fixed now so go on back and show her some love.

Coolioso

Check it, dog. Want a cool site to find some good books for your tweenagers? Well, I know just the spot. A friend of mine started a blog with her reviews of books deemed teen appropriate. She personally reads each and every book she reviews, gives a quick synopsis, and lists questionable material it may contain. While she is a great Catholic homeschooling mom, the books she reviews aren't necessarily religious oriented (in fact, most aren't). So, if you want a quick rundown of some good reads, head on over to booksnblather.blogspot.com, give her a "hey there" and bookmark her site.

Of course you could mention how great the blog looks ::cough, cough:: but that isn't necessary. 

Heeeeeeere's Johnny

Gymnastics in the living room because I like to do gymnastics and it makes me stronger and better at gymnastics.

Every Hannah Montana song. When prodded to pick one she said "Rockstar"

My favorite book is Best Loved Christmas Carols (a book that has the lyrics to Christmas Carols and a CD with the songs)

A nun.

11. Tell me a secret about yourself.

No, cuz it is a secret. I stay awake until 12 in the morning. 

WoW-11

Yeah, why do I even bother with this thing. I guess I like to check in on Wednesdays and say "nope, this wasn't the week, better luck next week."

And why do I have so much resolve at night when in bed, but none the next morning when I wake up? I am not even going to weigh myself today~no point. I am planning on getting going this week and have started the day most excellently (of course I haven't been awake that long). 

Alright, back on track, back on track, back on track.
