Am I the only one....

who has trouble with Blogger's word verification thing? I swear I have to enter the letters I see about 5 times to post a comment. Usually with the ones that look like w. It's almost always 2 v's instead. Oh, well.

Can you tell I don't have much to say today?

Driving....

Apparently, I drive too fast. At least according to Miss Priss. Her latest thing is to tell me that I'm driving too fast every time we go anywhere. And it's not just me -- her daddy drives too fast as well. I was driving down our dirt road to our house at about 20-25 mph, and she said I was going too fast. I think she can now see out the window better and can get a better judge on speed, so she feels like she's going really fast. Either that or she has the touch of motion sickness that I have. I hope not. Some car trips make me nauseous, but mostly, I get a headache if I'm in the car for more than a couple of hours. Very annoying. Even if I'm driving although it's not as bad then.

I've been working on my photo albums. Once we got the digital camera, we started saving them to the computer, but I really like to have the albums to flip through. I kept planning on getting them printed out eventually, and then all of a sudden I had a year's worth of pictures saved up. So, I went through and chose the best ones to print off an put them on a CD and took it to Walmart. I assumed about 100 pictures or so. When I went to the little machine (the done in an hour machine), I plugged in the CD and it found all 234 pictures. Only off by a little. Of course, those were the best of what I had. So, now I'm working on getting them into photo albums. I think Hubby thinks I'm crazy, but I just love to be able to go through and see them in an album. I'm not good a scrapbooking, but I can put a few pictures in an album and arrange them on the pages. I'm only about halfway through the stack.

Computer Games

We bought Miss Priss a computer game, Dora's Animal Adventures. It's for 3 and up, but she's 2 1/2, so we figured she'd grow into it. She loves it. She has now deemed the computer her computer, and demands to play her game. She can't move the mouse, but she loves to click when I tell her to. She watches for the stars and likes to feed the animals. It's so cute. It also gives me some time one-on-one with her. We play every night after dinner. I hand Baby Boo off to Hubby, and Miss Priss and I play for about half an hour before bed. Suprisingly, when I tell her that it's the last game, she doesn't throw a fit or anything, just finishes the game and gets ready for bed.

Thanks to tax credit #2 (Baby Boo), we got a nice tax return this year and decided to get new recliners with it. Now, I am anxiously awaiting their arrival which is supposed ot be at the end of this month. Ha. I'll believe it when I see it. However, we got the very reduced price delivery fee simply by exchanging a look when we asked how much it would cost to deliver. The salesman said it would be $75, so Hubby and I just looked at each other (even though we already agreed that we'd pay any delivery fee under $100), and the salesman said, "Well, I can make it a local fee of $35." Okey-dokey.


Well, Baby Boo's up and hungry, gotta go. :)

Actual Conversation.....

in our car today driving home from the store.

Hubby: Get out of the way, you stupid cow! (Stupid cow was in reference to, ahem, another driver -- cow's better than what he used to call people).
Miss Priss: Where the cow, Daddy?
Hubby: Nowhere, sweetie, Daddy was just yelling at another driver.

I was cracking up at the confused look on her face. I know she was picturing a cow driving the car.

Busy, busy....

I've been busy at work and tired at home. Baby Boo has done very well with her shots. No fever and no fussiness. Her gas even seems to be getting better. I refuse to equate that with the fact that I haven't been having as much ice cream. They have nothing to do with each other. In fact, just to prove it, I think I will go home and have ice cream tonight. Mmmmmmmmm......ice cream..........., but I digress.

I have nothing exciting to say. I didn't give Baby Boo's measurements the other day. :) She is now 11lbs and 3oz (or was on Tuesday) and 23 inches long. Growing like a little weed.
