All You Need Is Love

Beauty in the Common Things: Time. I have none as of late. I am behind at home, at school, and I feel behind in sleep. Daniel has been a great help with easing some of it though :)

Dinner Plans: breakfast for dinner

View From the Kitchen Window: He's not out there now, but the other morning I had fun watching a woodpecker go after our telephone pole. I just kept wondering how that doesn't hurt him! I want to get a big birdhouse this spring like my grandmother had. I remember finding eggs underneath it one time and taking the eggs home. I tried to hatch them by putting them in a left-over Jack In the Box egg roll container and having Smurfette sit on it. I now find it odd no one mentioned how Smurfette just doesn't have that kind of heating capacity.

Listen In: Go, Diego, Go!

Last week I spent 4 days in Austin at the Texas Computer Educators Association Convention. This was my first year to attend. I was excited to go, but nervous about leaving my boys.

I'm glad I went because I had a great time. I learned some things, had a few laughs, and met a new man:
Ok, its just a dude in a robot costume, but I thought it was funny! I got to room with one of my best friends, saw my brother and his family, got a bunch of free junk, and won a $3500 piece of educational hardware. Good week all in all.

When I got back, I came home to a house full of Valentines Day surprises from Daniel. I also saw he and my son made it just fine without me. :) But then again, I already knew that. Skype was our friend!

Speaking of Valentines Day, I spent the evening with my 2 Valentines. Below is the picture I sent to family for this holiday. Red hair and dimples? Seriously...cupid who?
