PicMonkey Rocks

Just a quick note to you ladies who said to try out PicMonkey! It rocks and so do you!! I'll be back with pictures soon! Yay!

P365-Weeks 16, 17 & 18

I haven't done well keeping up with posting my 365 pictures now that Picnik has closed down. It was so easy to edit photos using that site and I haven't found anything that fills in the gap. However, I promised myself that I would do my best to catch up, not only for myself, but for my sis-in-law who keeps up with our life by reading my blog.

So, I've spent considerable time this afternoon putting together the rest of April and the beginning of May. I hope to catch up by next weekend so I can participate in Sarah's next linky party.

Update

Sometimes life is too funny! I whine about being busy and then announce a goal with the hopes of keeping on task. Then...

my computer crashes.

Blue screen.

Beeping.

My husband emptys the poor thing and reinstalls a fresh Windows and I'm still getting a blue screen every once in a while.

Diagnosis: a new hard drive next. Sigh.

So if I can get on, I'll be sure to do so. If not, I'll be back.

BTW, have you all seen We bought a Zoo? (movie on DVD) We just watched it tonight and I highly recommend it. 

Makes me want to go have an adventure!

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone!

Goal for June

I don't have much time today, but after posting only 3 times in May on this blog, I I feel lazy. Would it help if you knew I was super busy and will have photos to show you once I get them off the camera? Nope? Didn't think so. Just like I tell the kids, good intentions don't account for much.

I've set a goal to post to one of my two blogs each weekday in June, beginning today. Hopefully, you'll see more of me around here. I figure if I tell you now I will be more likely to keep my word. Thanks for being there for me. : )

If you have a party with kids in attendance be sure to check out the tricky summer treat on my cooking blog (link in the sidebar.) It's a fun one they will enjoy making and eating.

Until tomorrow,
