Site of the Day: A. at A Changing Life (please, go comment there!)

Note: I wanted to tell you all that Hootin Anni played this week but she won’t be around to comment. Yesterday, she was at the hospital and was having a heart procedure done. Please, keep her in prayer.

My photo: While at a Padres vs. Giants game in San Diego, my son went down on the field at Qualcomm Stadium (in 2002) and got this ball signed by both a Padre and a Giant =) One signature is on the left and one on the right – I tried to photograph it so you could see both. Thanks to hubby for the use of his slacks in the background. ROFL!

PhotoHunt

S.J. (a PhotoHunter) over at Almost Vegetarian is hosting “Kitchen Week” this week. There is a contest starting, Friday 9/28. You’ll win an awesome kitchen gadget (winner gets the most expensive kitchen gadget reviewed during gadget week).

How to win? Write a short kitchen gadget story in the September 28 comment section of her blog. You can write about a kitchen gadget someone gave you, a gadget you bought and like (or dislike), or a gadget that you have no idea what it does other than collect dust in your drawer. As long as it’s something about kitchen gadgets – it qualifies!

Another way to win – if you post about the contest on your blog and the prize winner says they heard about the contest from your blog, then you, too, win a prize. That would be her way of saying thanks for your support.

Help make this fun contest a success – it’s the first ever contest she’s hosted and I am helpin’ her get the word out. If you play – be sure to tell her you saw the post at tnchickies, tho, k? At the time I wrote this – she hasn’t posted the contest yet – but it’ll be up Friday (tomorrow).

Another contest is up till 9/30. Iris has a birthday today (Happy Birthday!) and is offering you a gift for her birthday. How awesome is she? Go tell her Happy Birthday, would ya? (P.S. those bags are very nice, she sent me one for my birthday and the quality is awesome!)

This is what is currently happening out in my front yard… well, in the ditch. It’s about time – there has been a fairly large water leak there for over a week and the water has been standing in my ditch… I’m glad someone finally showed up to fix it.

So, what’s going on where you are?

In other news… well, there is no other news! Actually, there is some news – I will be workin’ from home – with a real job. I haven’t started yet but rec’d all the new hire info. I thought it would help us save and move forward with building our house. I still have to get the land surveyed. Did you know I haven’t worked “a real job” (with a paycheck) since 2002 when I quit my job in San Diego (I quit when I was pregnant with my daughter). I’ve worked dabbling in web design, with my Dad, etc… but not counting that.

Oh. Anyone know how long the kindergarten crankies last? Whew! My daughter started K this year – she’s totally lovin’ it; however, she is SO cranky in the evenings. Eek. I talked to another gal I know – her daughter started K, too – and she said her daughter has the case of K crankies, too… so I guess it’s normal but hope it ends soon. I don’t remember how long it lasted with my son.

Hmm – I guess that’s it for now. I gotta go fix somethin’ to eat and catch a nap! Holla =)~
