Blogging Pet Peeve

I can't get the music I want!  I'd love to do another slideshow - I just haven't figured out how to do it with the music I want.  I can use my own photos.  Why can't I choose my own music?  Oh wait - I can, as long as it's on the list 'they' give me.  (Sounds a bit 'big brother'ish when I put it that way.):}  My point is - there has to be someone out there reading this and thinking, 'Duh, Teresa!'.  It has to be easy, right?  I guess I just haven't found the right place to click yet.  Will someone help me out?  It's my blog - I should be able to do what I want, right?  A huge thank you to whomever lets me know.  (If this is something you're wondering too...let me know and I'll post the info.)

What do you think?

Jacob took this picture a couple of weeks ago.  He loves to 'steal' the camera and take random photos.  This is one of the few where he actually had someone standing still for him.  How do you think he did?  We might need to get him his own camera one of these days.  

I was actually looking for a speed limit sign that said 100 miles an hour.  It feels like we're moving pretty quickly around here.  Lots to do! Kids growing up much too fast.  I couldn't find the 'sign' I was looking for - but, this one sure sounds good right about now.

Who does that?

Who goes for two days without checking email - and not even notice? That would be me!  Really, for someone who checks multiple times a day...how did I not realize I hadn't checked for a couple of days. Don't worry - it wasn't a complete 48 hours.:}  I think that's the only time I've ever done that.  I opened it up to reference an email and was told I had about 50 messages.  Hmm...I couldn't have gotten that many in the last hour or so, right?  I don't know if anyone else has ever done that - but, I did it today (actually, I guess it's been the last couple of days).  

On to the newsworthy part...WHO DOES THIS???  (This is what I missed while I was NOT checking my email - and I thought I was busy.)  Dave and Becca had their baby - darling little girl...on their couch!!  Apparently, the little gal came so quick that they called 911, were talked through it and then the 'professionals' came.  What woman wouldn't want to suddenly have a chance to deliver her child at home and what father wouldn't want to deliver that baby?!?!  (At our home - that would be a 'not I' for both of us.)  WOW!!  Way to go! We are so excited for you and to meet the little one!  Too bad we're not closer than the other side of the United States!  

The WizardCome Series

Ya...I hadn't heard of it either.  Apparently, it's the name of the series of books Jonny is writing.  Yes, the words Wizard and Come are supposed to all be one word.  The main character's name is Jonhy Melvin - because those are the two names Jonny knows how to spell. Ok, so...what about spelling Jonny the same way he does for himself? According to the author, "h's are easier".  I'm not sure why the 'n' comes first.  Hmm...and to think we've been spelling it different for all these years.  I'm still sticking with J-o-n-n-y for spelling my son's name.  That same son is allowed to spell the name of the main character in his series of books however he chooses.

Oh - The first volume (said author 'likes to call them volumes') is The Headless Man.  C'mon, you all want to read it, right?  And, he just told me several ideas for the 2nd book.  They're all about spells, magic, imagination and a young boy that comes out on top - no matter what happens to him (and a lot happens).  Can't wait for the next adventure!  Are you on the edge of your seat yet?  Yep, I knew you were!
