Wow, it's Friday already!

This week has gone by so quickly. It's hard to believe. I think it's because our snow is almost gone and the days didn't drag by, for me, because I didn't have to drive in snow!! I'm so glad it's not snowy here anymore. (Knocking on wood!!)

I've been trying to devise a way to "hide" all my electronics. Right now, sitting on many surfaces around the house and plugged in so they can be charged are 2 laptops, 2 cell phones, a Nintendo DS, a portable DVD player, a bluetooth, an electronic keyboard and on and on. I'm thinking of a nice tall dark wood cupboard with lots of shelves that would look good in either the bedroom or the living room, situated in front of a wall plug, with a hole punched out the back for the cords. If I have a couple of power bars, I could get all of them plugged into one outlet. What do you do with all of your rechargeable electronics?

I felt so stooopid today. I got an order from Amazon dot com and in it was a UV filter for one of my camera lenses. I ordered it because when I got my new camera lens a while back (a Canon EF 50mm 1:1:8 II prime lens) I suddenly didn't have enough filter/protectors for all my lenses. I checked the size of my other lenses and ordered accordingly. DUH! The problem was that I checked my OTHER lenses for size...NOT the new one.



The new one is 52mm and the other two I have are 58mm. So I ordered a 58mm filter. I'll keep it, you never know when one will get broken or scratched, but now I still have no filter for my new lens. I'm on that one and will get it ordered. Good grief, will this online shopping ever end?? (heh...heh...heh)

I love my Peeps!

I love 'em so much, but I can't keep them around to get photographs. No, not THAT kind of Peeps, this kinda Peeps!



I only have one that has managed to stay around for over a year. My sister Marsha gave me this last year for Easter. She loves Peeps too and said this was a "diet Peep". Yeah, it wouldn't taste too good, what with all the beans, fuzz and cloth. And you could choke on that tag. (These are all things I tell myself!!)



I really do love this time of year. But all you Peeps out there better watch out. It could be a grim ending for you. First your package will be opened, then you'll be left to sit until you get all dried out (if I can wait that long...usually I accomplish this by brushing my teeth at night, flossing, THEN opening the package of Peeps! Leaving then to dry out over night!) and then you'll be mercilessly devoured by a human who's been Peep-deprived for a whole year...with your little Peep-heads being unceremoniously flung to the dog. Oh and the only Peeps in danger are the pink and the yellow chicks. I don't DO lavender or green OR bunnies...they're for sissies!

BTW, all you Reece's Peanut Butter Eggs better look out too!

Ahem, my diet starts NEXT week!

  3. I used to be too frugal to buy the Reeces eggs my daughter loves. Why buy eggs when the regular ones taste the same but cost less? Bad mom! Now I buy the Reeces hearts, eggs, christmas shapes, etc... I've never been a Peeps girl though. Am I missing out?
