I love this website

One of my favorite dress websites, Shabby Apple, just came out with their baby dresses. I love them. They are a little expensive, but kind of worth it. Partly because I don't have to make them. I'm thinking about getting this one for an Easter dress for Lucy. What do you think?



Today

My youngest brother is getting on a plane and flying to Paris. Eight years ago, I did the same thing. And I would do it again. Not just because it is Paris (although I have yet to have a good trip to Paris) but because I would go on a mission again. The only stipulation would that it would have to be back to France. Not anywhere else. I am very excited for my brother, and for myself. He will be doing some shopping for me while he is there. Just need to talk to my dad about how to get him the money. Oh, I have a whole list of things for him to send me. French CD's, my favorite chocolat, my favorite candy, notebooks, and other things that I just can't get over here. I also hope that we get sent back to Germany so that we can go visit him the way we visited my other brother when he was on his mission.

Yet another What??

Does anyone else have a husband that walks around the house singing "Somewhere, there's a place for us, somewhere a place for us that can go and I'll take you there" and then breaking into the "Somewherrrrrrrreeeeee" "Somehowwwwwww" trying to sound like he can sing opera?? Please tell me I'm not the only one.....

What?

So, does anyone else think it is funny that Ryan Seacrest is doing a superbowl show? I remember him before he did American Idol, and was a radio DJ in Los Angeles. It just seems funny to me.....

I hate forwards

I got a forward yesterday from someone in Matt's family. The majority of forwards I get are from them. I usually delete them without reading them. This forward was about registering your cell phone number so that telemarketers wouldn't have access to it. The email even said "12 days left!!!!! I'm sure thats true considering I got this same forward months ago....

I went to Snopes and looked it up, sent this person the link, and suggested they email this link to those that received the first email. This was the response I got:

I see but took only 20 sec to do so good idea just incase

Just in case of what?? That this email that has been going around for months if not years might possibly be true??? Misinform 15 or 20 people who will then misinform another 15 or 20 people each? Most people would just send out an apology email with the accompanying link. I've been caught in one of those before. And I felt so dumb having to send out another email with the snopes link on it, I have not forwarded hardly anything since.

I got another one, from two people recently. This one said that "general conference will no longer be broadcast on public television" or something to that effect. The person that sent it was out of town, on a computer not her own, and probably didn't have much time to look things up. Ok, I'll give her a pass on this one, but then I got it from someone else that she had also sent it to. I feel like emailing everyone in my contacts a link to snopes and that the next time they get one of these crazy emails, to take maybe the 30 seconds to type something into their search and find the truth. Much better to check it out than to misinform who knows how many.

Cannot believe this

So, I have a fever. I haven't had a fever in ten years. Really stinks. Hoping that mine goes away faster than Lucy's.
Sick. It never fails that when we move, I get sick. So, Lucy and I are going to be sick together.....
