My family
I come from a very generous family. They don’t always have a huge amount of money, but they give of their hearts. I really found this out big time when I got a call from Mom last night.
In September, Josh and his dad will be going to Virginia to scatter Kathy’s ashes. That leaves me home alone with the kids for that whole week. Mom, Dad, and others, I guess, were talking about it, and Pappaw offered to pick me and the kids up and drive us to Indiana (I can’t do it alone, due to panic attacks). Isn’t that just an amazing offer from them? I’m definitely going to take them up on it, :lol:.
Also, in case you couldn’t tell, totally new look for the blog, along with the choices of themes. A few are still under work, but you can check ‘em out. Main theme is Domestic Princess, which I adore, so that would be why the other themes have more posts than what you’d think would be needed
I also changed a bit on the pictures of family, and added friends as well.
Other than that, nothing really new. I won’t be posting tomorrow, due to the blogging memorial set up for the ones who died in the VT shootings. I will reply to comments, though, so PLEASE!! Comment!!
Need Y’all’s Help!
Two/three sentence explanation of doll: This is for a portal page I’m working on. It’ll be a summer theme, kind of beachy, so I want it to look casual but still fun.
Problem areas: Um, everywhere. I can’t even begin to think of how to do the sandals
Best areas: The suit design, even though there’s not much to it.
Stage of Completeness: Outline only
Do you allow redlines? Oh god yes
Do you allow paintovers? Heck yes

Base: Shimmery Daze, exclusive to SnM
The Days …
they just keep coming. Madison is super freaking whiny. Not an hour goes by that she’s not whining about something or other. Nothing makes her happy. She just whines and whines. GAH!! It’s driving me freaking INSANE!! Ethan, on the other hand, is just an amazing little man. Yesterday, we’re trying valiantly to get Madi to start potty training (FFS, she’ll be FOUR in June!!), and Ethan’s pulling us to the bathroom so he can go poop.
Why, why, WHY can’t Madison figure this out? :fist: She, yesterday, went 3 hours without peeing in her pull-up, so we put her in a pair of panties. For two hours, no pee. We put her in her pull-ups again (for nap), and 20 minutes later, the pull-up is full of pee and poop. Not once did she tell us she had to potty. Not once did she tell us she pottied. We only knew because I thought I heard her crying and went to check on her. :hissyfit:
Some good news though. My CD player for the car died. It was a normal personal CD player (less than $15 for it 4 years ago), so we went looking for a new one for me. I had only one requirement: MP3 capabilities. Found one. Regularly $40, for $24. *SWEET* It’s a Panasonic SL-SX480 MP3 D.Sound portable CD player. It’s amazing. I absolutely LOVE it!! Only downside is the fact that there’s no AC jack anywhere on it
Best thing about it is that I can slip it into my jeans pockets, jog, and have no skips. No skips sitting in the cubby of the dash. No skips whatsoever, even when I, :loser:, dropped it, :lol:. So, currently, I have a 254 song CD (:faint:) that’s set to random. Well, right now, it’s in the Sony, but :clap: it’s all mine!! It’s hilarious listening to it, though. It goes from contemporary christian, to Aerosmith, to country, to bands like Poison. :weirdface: Eclectic tastes, me? No way!!
Yesterday was not a good day. Cox died around 3PM (I was playing the Sims 2, so I’m not totally sure when it died), and it didn’t come up until 9PM. No, we didn’t call (we can’t stand their freaking voice thing. It just send you in circles). But, there was a truck out today, right before Josh left to get his truck fixed (idler arm, serpentine belt, and wheel barrings). Who knows. What I’m finding weird is that the TV has had NO problems. It’s not even doing it’s fritzing out, but the internet comes in and out at least once a week. It’s becoming RIDICULOUS!!
I’m marrying a GEEK!!
No I’m not saying it like a bad thing, considering he is too.
We’re discussing attire. He’s half-joking and says that he wants to dress like Anakin Skywalker (yes, from Star Wars), me like Padme (oh boy), and his groomsmen like Jedi’s or Clone Troopers.
The hilariousness? He wants a projection of our officiant, so he can have Yoda O.o
Please, someone tell me that I’m not the only one who thinks they’re FH has lost their mind. I mean, I want some quotes from Voyager and Star Trek into the ceremony in some way, but his ideas are just over the top O.o
