RIGHT during the whole house buying/moving process, my cousin, Suzanne, asked me if I could do a website for my Uncle & Aunt's business. They've owned their own business for over 20 years, but only recently decided that they needed to get up to speed with the idea of having a web presence. I agreed to do it, though it has been awhile since I've built one from scratch and only the 2nd time that I've done a web form. I also learned how to make a "Favicon" which is the little icon you see in the URL window and if you "favorite" a site and you can see it on the "tab" if you have multiples tabs opened in a window. I'm gonna do one for the blog! I started work a few months ago and just got the "rough design" idea approved...but then things kicked into high gear with the house/move so it had to get put on hold. I picked it back up on Friday and busted most of it out then, and did the finishing stuff yesterday (including the web form which involved MUCH trial & error!) and now the site is "live"! So....check it out and let me know what ya think!

{Today is a UPS Kinda Day!!}
Well....between the new computer monitor and my Valentine's gift from Mike, today will be a UPS kinda day! I will be getting rid of the old computer monitor and getting ready to set up the new one after Janet comes over for a visit this morning.
I'm pretty sure Meghann will go to school today, but we'll see what her temp is when she wakes up. At least there was no coughing last night...that's a good sign!
The other thing the UPS man will be bringing are all my new goodies from PaperTreyInk that Mike bought for me for Valentine's Day! How nice that they had a monthly release ON Valentine's Day! Makes the gift giving easy on Mike...he says, "Go ahead and order!" and I get exactly what I want for V-Day! WooHoo! I love having new stuff to play with! I'm sure I'll make a few sets of cards to give to family...it's always nice to have cards on hand for any occasion! I know that everyone enjoys getting cards in the mail....even if it's not a holiday, just a "thinking of you" or "how's it going" card make all my family and friends happy! Unexpected mail is the best! So start checking your mailbox...you might be getting a card from us soon!
Mike will be going on Tuesday for his pre-op testing and prep. He's really looking forward to his surgery so that he can start getting back to normal. Keep those prayers coming...they are appreciated!

{Poop! Meghann's Home Sick....AGAIN!}
Well, after 2 days running over a 100 degree fever...yesterday Meghann woke up with no fever at all! She said she felt good...so off to school she went, and cotillion. Well....this morning she woke up with just under 100 degree fever! Man! So she's loaded up with juice and Motrin and back in bed. Just when Cindi and I FINALLY had a free day to go to Disneyland for Oscar's Baked Potato Soup and ride Tower of Terror! Ah....being a Mommy is worth missing a day @ Disneyland for ToT and soup!
Had to order a new computer monitor this morning as well because the desktop computer's monitor burned out....I guess 8 years isn't too bad. The new one should arrive tomorrow (LOVE NewEgg!) and is a nice Samsung 22" Widescreen. Mike loves his big monitors and this one should make his Drinking Wars game on Facebook even BETTER!
I personally think that my new toilet seat was a better purchase than a new monitor, but WHATEVER! I do love a new toilet seat...I buy one usually every 2 years. It's a personal preference, I just think it's $20 well spent! For all the DUMB things you spend $20 on, your butt is on that toilet seat usually at least 4 or more times a day....and EVERYONE uses it, so isn't it nice to have a new one? I say, YES! But I'm sure I'll like the new monitor too! At least we have 2 nice big Dell laptops as well as the desktop, so we're not "lost" without our computers....plus, how would I have ordered a new monitor?!?!
Anywhooooooo....back to caring for my sick baby girl and doing laundry. I think I'll bake some cranberry/orange muffins for my 2 favorite people as well! They LOVE them some muffies!
