My Love of Pogo

I have been a member of Pogo since December 31, 2004. I started playing because my Mom had been a member for a long time and quite enjoyed it. =) I started and really did too. There are a GAZILLION games and you can win tokens for almost all the games (only a few don't give coins). Also, you can win real money for playing them! If you reach a certain score you get a spin and a chance to win the "jackpot" for the game.

Along the way you can have some childhood fun... use your tokens to buy things for your "mini" (your Pogo character) or you can just save 'em all and throw them into one big chance to win money.

HOORAY! It is tons of fun and I am glad to get back to it. =) I hadn't played in years!!!

Congrats to Two Lovely Ladies

I wanted to give a shout out and congratulations to my mom and good friend Christine. These two ladies have really been going the extra mile to be healthy. Both have changed their diets dramatically, cut out fast food, and have kept it up!!! They both got excellent reviews from their doctor, all their levels (cholesterol, blood pressure, etc) have gone down, and they were told to keep up the good work. HOORAY!

Way to go you two!!! I am so proud. Not only are you helping yourselves but you are helping to keep me inspired to help myself. Thank you both and congrats!!! =)

Another Need To

I need to start labeling and dating things. I used to be very good at this but since I was forced to become an adult, I have gotten lazy and have fallen WAY behind... we're talking years here. I am saddened by this because I love finding things and knowing when they came into my life; things like presents and pictures. Presents always start to run together as the years go by and I would really enjoy knowing now and even more the older I get. I have a spoon collection for example; even as memorable as the spoons are, it is hard to keep up with who gave me which; I have over 60... s

So, I vow to begin labeling photos and gifts as soon as I get them, starting today.

Yes sirey bob! =)

Welcome to the World, Bryce!

Elaine and Mike welcomed their little bundle of joy into the world on July 26, 2010. His name is Bryce and he is VERY handsome. Congratulations you two! We love you and I cannot wait to meet the little guy! Happy Birthday, little buddy!

=) Hooray!

I Got Snotted On!

My sweet little Winslow (who has yet to be shown here; I know I suck) sneezed and blew a frikin' booger on my leg. It was a huge, human-sized booger, GAG! I was mortified and at the same time also quite aware of my lack of parent-readiness. I am not quite prepared for that feat; I can't even deal with a cat booger! EWWW!

I Lost The Game

What a bummer! Hehe.

ENJOY!!!!! I one hundred percent agree with the overall idea and think it's pretty darn genius. Just enjoy life...

Tosh.0 and the Balloon Man

I LOVE this episode of Tosh.0! It is ridiculously funny in some very peculiar ways... and I love every one of them! I couldn't find the entire episode to post but if you google it, I am sure you will find it and I VERY MUCH recommend watching the entire episode.
