Happy Birthday, C-Girl!

Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful! Isn't she pretty, truly the angel's best!
Today is my "baby's" 17th birthday. Hubs has always called her his little "Angel Face", and, I think anyhow, that she truly does have an angel face! Ever since she was 4 yrs. old, she has been "25" in her mind, and she still thinks she's bigger and older than what she is. I am very proud of her. She is smart, beautiful, and very determined to finish what she starts. And my prayer is that she will find joy and happiness and success in life! Happy Birthday, C-Girl! We love you!

Good Stuff

Today some good stuff came in the mail for me. For Christmas, hubby had given me a gift certificate to Paper Wishes, my fave online scrapbook store. I hadn't spent it yet because I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted from all the wonderful goodies they offer. But I finally made a decision and placed the order and today it arrived in my mail. Here's what I got: Heritage Scrapbook papers with lots of embellishments, Finished-In-A-Flash Kitchen Kit scrapbook papers, Big Brads in greens, and the Swirls clear acrylic stamps.
Later this afternoon I went to Joann's 'cause I had a 40% coupon burning a whole in my pocket. They had all their Easter stuff on sale @ 70% off, so I got 2 of these. They are so pretty in person, but I will be changing the purple to pink and use them for decorations for our upcoming Women's Fellowship for April. That color scheme is going to be pink and green (my fave's). I also got some pink and green sweet pea bushes for a buck each. O, and some white tulips, too. Got some pink & green scrapbook paper to make "napkin thingys" and will use green napkins with pink tableware in them. When I get one done, I'll post a pic of it.
I got some really pretty glittery eggs at the 99 Cent Store this morning, too. They are pink and green and I got them 2 for a buck! I just love getting things on sale, even at the 99 Cent Store. Tomorrow I'll have to hit Dollar Tree and see what goodies I can find there.
If I ever hope to get all this stuff made that I have planned, I'd better get off the computer and get to work. TTFN :)

Fixed! I Hope

Okay, I still have no idea what happened or how "it" happened, but somehow I seemed to have fixed the problem of my blog being messed up. I think I'll just blame it on the Hubs, since he's the one who changed stuff to begin with. He's very good with the computer and internet-related things, but he knows nothing about blogger (not that I'm any kind of expert on it myself). I can't put too much "blame" on him, though, because I promised a few weeks back that I would no longer make fun of him because he thinks he's a huge expert on all things computer related. I posted about it, I think. But when my computer crashed, he was able to retrieve all my pictures and other information that was all stored on my hard drive when the motherboard literally fried. I was a very happy camper then, and right now, I am again, since changing my email AGAIN seems to have fixed my blog.
Okay, enough whining for one day. Now I want to thank all you people who are new to my blog for visiting me and leaving comments and I hope you will continue to come by. I love to meet new people and it still amazes me that anyone is actually interested in my own mundane little life. I'm thankful for the friends I've made thru blogging. I love to read their blogs and read the comments they post to mine. And I know there are some of you who read my blog (you know who you are) that never post a comment. It's really not hard. Just click on the "comments" at the end of each post and type away! I've set things up so you don't have to have your own blog to post a comment on mine. So, ple-e-e-z-z-z, leave a comment! Okay, TTFN! :)

Help!

Okay, this thing is about to drive me even more crazy than I already am! I think my whole blogger identity has been totally screwed up. We are in the middle of changing ISPs and so I changed my email addy to a gmail account. They are thru Google. So is Blogger. After I changed my email, I tried to go to my blog and it made me change my whole identity to match my new email. Now no one can access my profile or my page (apparantly) and no one knows who I am. When I try to log into my blog from the new email and password, which is what comes up under my log-in, it sends me to a page that wants me to create a new blog. If I try to log in under the old name and password, it tells me I can't because my blog is under a different name now. I somehow made it thru the log-in process under the old name, only I don't have a clue how I finally got here. This whole thing probably makes no sense to anyone reading it, that is, if anyone will be reading it because who knows if anyone can find me anymore. I'm so confused. If anyone out there can help me solve this whole dilemma I will be so appreciative! I love my blog and don't want to lose it or have to start over from scratch. Please help - anyone, anywhere!

What's In A Name?

Got this little "test" from Jennifer's blog. For the most part, it's pretty much me.

What Brenda Means

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Happy 28th Anniversary, Hon!

Twenty-eight years ago today, Hubs and I "took the plunge". We actually eloped to Las Vegas, on a whim, and got married. We've had our share of ups and downs, like any marriage, but we've managed to work them out with God's help, and here we are, 28 yrs. later!

We did this pic because when we got married, the photographer told us to put our heads together like this because "it may feel weird, but it looks really good in the picture". When we got the pics back, it looked as stupid as it felt, so we decided to 'recreate' the moment. ha!

Typing Re-test

Okay, so I'm bored. Instead of doing something constructive with my time, I go and take a dumb typing test again "just because". But look at my new score. I've improved and I'm only one point below Heather. And does anyone really give a flip? I'm sure they don't, 'cause I know I don't. HA! Annnddd...this is my third post in one day. I'm making up for lost time when I went for week without internet at all. OMG...it nearly KILLED me!
