Did ya think I fell off the face of the earth?!

I haven't been blogging....obviously. My computer was acting up and I've learned not to mess with computers. My knowledge of all things computer is about as accurate as my knowledge of rocket science. I quickly took my little baby to the computer doctor and let them deal with it....but that also meant I was without it for awhile. Sooooo.....here are a few things that have been RIVETING my mind the last couple of days (please note the sarcasm in this...ha!)....

2. I don't watch Dancing with the Stars...but I have caught it a few times this season. I have two words for you...Kate Gosselin.
Oh. My. Word. I have to be honest in saying deep down I was kinda rooting for her - I really was. I thought it could be a fresh start...stepping out on her own. I thought this could totally be her "take-a-deep-breath-put-your-big-girl-panties-on-and-deal-with-it-moment"!! Well...I couldn't be more disappointed. I'll just leave it there because quite honestly I don't even know where to start.


2. I have a slight obsession with the comedian Dane Cook....No, not because of the way he looks (jeez...give me some credit!)...but rather for the fact that I laugh sooooo incredibly hard when I watch his comedy. If you don't know who this comedian is I suggest you look him up...but I'll forewarn you that he IS pretty...ahem...."brash" about things. But my word....I laugh and laugh until my stomach hurts - which is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. I was watching him late one night this weekend - COMPLETELY by myself - and I was literally ROLLING with laughter. I love it.

3. Off the subject of celebrities and on to....GARDENING!!! It's tiiiiiiiiime!! I'm pretty pumped and I don't think my excitement is even half of what the kiddies excitement is! I am asked daily if we can go work in the garden and at this point that just means tilling it and picking up rocks!!! Here is what we are planning on planting this year....

Basil

Green Peppers

Carrots

Corn

Popcorn (we are all excited about this one)

Potatoes

Onions

Lettuce

Tomatoes

4. I have taken a few photography classes the past month...one in Chicago and one here locally. Both classes were wonderful and reminded me not only how much I love photography...but just HOW MUCH I have to learn!!! It's amazing. My most recent class was on shooting in RAW....all I've got to say is WOW! If anyone out there has any experience shooting in RAW that they would like to share I am allllll ears!

5. Giveaway coming soon....very soon.

6. Sometimes I'm really bad about actually following through with ideas I have in my mind. This is especially true when it comes to decorating. I just let my ideas stew...and stew...and stew. Right now I have a zillion ideas in my mind for our home - I just need to make them reality. Anyone else have issues with this?

7. Do you ever wonder who reads your blog? I do. I am always floored when I run into people I haven't seen in years and they bring up that they read my blog. Really?? Me?? I also sometimes wonder about the people that I've never met that read it...people that never leave comments but are faithful readers. I have readers in Shelby, Michigan and Eugene Oregon. I have readers in Venice, Florida and waaaaay up in Canada. I just want ya'll to know that I don't know who you are.....but I'm flattered you stop by!

Those are my random thoughts for now my friends....stay tuned for that giveaway!!

Hugs!
