I have this wonderful Firefox addon called No-Script which basically turns off all website scripts for all webpages until you give permission. The addon is great for me, since I have missed a lot of trauma-inducing advertisements when I wander onto pages desperate for advertising revenue. However, it also seems to have blocked Livejournal’s ability ( Read more... )

I'm feeling really happy with my Christmas present right now. It's one of those Bissel carpet spot cleaners. It's saved me from various food stains, blood stains (the boys made a tower of stools and chairs on Thursday, got my sharp scissor and went to town), and today from goopy sunscreen. Now, I've cleaned all of those things (well, not blood I ( Read more... )

I'm following zellion and I hope to make it. I'm counting the books that I'm reading to Mathias at nap time, since they are "real" books, the books I'm reading with Steve and the books that I am "re reading."

1. The Persian Pickle Club, Sandra Dallas - read because my mom's book club was reading it and since our ward doesn't have a book club, I ( Read more... )

Is there anyone on my friend's list who would be willing to proofread/edit my husband's cover letter? I'm feeling like a useless housewife whose editing skills were never much to speak of and are now out-of-date ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a good day. I finally finished the Primary CD project I've been working on for the past two weeks. I told the Primary President that I was planning to have it done last week. That was back when I thought my kids would get over the stomach flu by Tuesday. I guess this makes it obvious that my kids don't get the flu often ( Read more... )

Mother's Day was very nice. As I mentioned before, my family gave me a Paid account for Mother's Day and I'm still enjoying the irresponsibility of paying money for more icons. Our ward gave not only flowers this year, but I got a very pretty purple one. I meant to take a picture and upload it, but it will have to wait. I only managed to get it ( Read more... )

This weekend is March Mashups at The End. A "mashup" is a mix where songs like Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" and Madonna's "Music" are combined. It's actually pretty cool how nice they sound. I've been enjoying it today. I've decided not to listen to Chunga and Mr. in the mornings anymore, as I am now an old, fusty woman who has lost her ( Read more... )

Quiet friend's list today. Mathias is cranky-he woke up at six this morning-and it's one of those uncomfortably warm, dry autumn days. Calm and patience seem to be slipping through my fingers ( Read more... )

Steve, Mathias and I will be visiting family in Utah for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will be arriving on Wednesday (the day before turkey day) and leaving the Monday after.

So, are any of you going to be in the area?

Well, things are going much better than previously. I finally stumbled upon the fact that what I wanted was wingdings, not pictures. Wingding fonts have the look of my half-formed mental vision. Now I'm trying to break up the monotony of pink with some other colors. Probably just one other color actually ( Read more... )
