Can you tell someone recently introduced me to the Fail blog? 
These also made it into my “Funny” folder of pics…
OK so I missed my original blog theme. So it’s back. 
Probably will stick with it but tweak it a bit. There’s a new site about blogging you might want to check out : Momversation.com.
I’ve been thinking a lot about where the internet has gone and will go, especially for moms, and so it’s coming at a neat time of reflection for me. I also realized that while I’ve been designing websites for oh, about 13 years??, I’ve only been “mommy-blogging” for just over 5, so I’m still a bit of a newbie in that realm.
On another note…
I’ve started on this year’s Christmas cards. I have 3 designs planned so far, based on the new Christmas stamp set I have this year. And in the past year, I’ve accumulated so much Stampin’ Up stuff, it’s absolutely insane, so I’m really going to try my best to put it all to good use!
Design #1 is my fave but needs a few pieces to finish up (need to borrow the scallop circle punch that I didn’t buy because almost everyone in my Stamp club already has it). And I might not post it on my blog so that I have a design to give to my friends who actually read my blog (you know, all 5 of you ).
Design #2 is built around a snowman stamp and #3 is built around a Christmas tree stamp. Click “more” for pics & instructions…
Started writing this earlier but our router has been having issues. 
So sorry if I’ve been a little more “MIA” than usual. I also think I’m crashing from last week’s creativity whirlwind. My contributions this week have been much more mundane. Started a new cycle yesterday, looks like I’m on a 32day pattern these days.
I have lost a couple pounds though at least (and that was Monday morning even before my period started!). And I’ve been very good this year with Halloween treats. I bought this wafer-thin chocolate flakes and since Halloween have limited myself to one a day (so NO little chocolate bars!) and any other treats are usually candy (fat free). Other than that, still doing what I can to keep my portions small. So I’m now holding at the -10lb mark (reminder: in 2006 I made it to the -65lb mark and hope to get back there).
And of course I wanted to mention that I’m thrilled about the result of the US election yesterday! I have felt such a heavy feeling of *dread* the past 2 US and 2 Canadian elections waking up to right-wing governments and am relieved there’s been a change! I hope Canada follows suit when the next election comes along (which everyone jokes should be in about 6 months). If so I already have blinkies planned: “Lefter is better“.
Speaking of blinkies… the combination of my recent flurry of nursing blinkies and Paul’s cute picture of him and his “padawan learner” has inspired a bizarre but funny set…
And since you already know how weird we are:
ME: “I just love that the baby has a light saber”
DH: “Or he’s not wearing a diaper…”
ME: ((confuzzled))
DH: “…and is peeing!”
ME: “Green pee? Neon green pee?”
DH: …
ME: “Ok you know I’m blogging this now, right?”
