Much anticipated video

Mom put it in upside down.

No problem, she'll just flip it around.

Oh that's too much work. It's fine this way.

And finally! I found my camera. It may or may not have been in my purse the whole time. I do recall seeing it  in there all weekend, but it never crossed my mind that hours before I was searching everywhere for it. It never fails! My mind is always doing too many things at once I guess.

So here you go. The first video is from this weekend. She will go after Buck's bones like they are candy, so all I have to do to get her moving is put one on the other side of the room. But...then I have to run ahead of her and grab it! Incentive is good and all, but let's be real. That's gross.

Video #2 was just tonight. She was getting tired and her movement is a lot less precise when she's ready for bed. Can't you tell? She really cracks me up. I think she really loves the camera too, because she just stares as soon as she sees it pointing at her. My little diva...

Let's review, shall we?

• I don't have fun pictures from this weekend because my camera is MIA. I'm sure it will turn up...eventually.
• It snowed and snowed and snowed today and while it was so pretty with a winter wonderland feel, It was not fun to walk in with heels on, coffee spilling on my hand, and a heavy baby car seat on my other arm. Good thing she's cute...
• Church was almost two hours long today. We got to hear a couple of testimonies from soon to be elders and the pastor still gave his message and I listened, absorbed, and loved every minute of it. 
• Josie is crawling. She is sitting. She is chattering. She is holding her bottle (sometimes). She is just growing up too. darn. fast!
• I didn't eat very good this weekend. I didn't eat real meals, but I sure did snack. Oh hi there, gym, how are you? Let's be best friends this week!
• Another thing that I am looking forward to once I lose some weight besides wearing my wedding ring again (so close, but so far away!) and having a bigger smile and eyes is buying dresses to wear at work and at home for all season. I love love love wearing dresses or skirts and hope to one day have them be the majority in my closet!
• I'm in a smoothie kind of mood this week. Every day for lunch. I'm excited.
• Tonight I'm going to put oil on my face instead of face wash. Curious?
• I watched a lot of tv this weekend. Why? Because Josie is at an age where she is too busy to notice me. Seriously, she could care less about me and my attempts to play with her! Its kind of funny, and I don't mind it so much since I know that in not such a long time she will be wanting me to play with her all of the time. 
• I haven't painted my toenails all winter... sometimes it's just refreshing to have that all natural look, don't you think? (Don't worry, legs are still shaved. Not that  natural around here!)

Blogs they are a changing

I really have wanted to change my blog name. When I did a survey on it a couple of months ago, I got mixed reactions so I've just decided to try it out for a while and see what I think.

Why change it? The main reason is because people that don't know me very well have no idea how to say  my last name. Those that don't know me at all (in person) don't even realize that it is my last name. When I started this blog, I had thought it would just be more like a newsletter to update those in my life who would care (and knew me quite well). I didn't realize how much I would enjoy getting my thoughts and stories on paper written down. So as the blog evolved towards a more personal level, I knew the name wouldn't cut it. Especially as I get to know other bloggers and want something more appropriate for the public eye. I'm not paranoid about my name being out there, but it doesn't have to be quite as "in your face" as the title!

It's really hard to be creative when there are 2098234 other creative people out there. Every single good name is taken! But I woke up thinking about being intentional this morning, and it really stuck. I could not get it out of my mind as I got ready, or as I got Josie ready, or as I left for work.

So what do you think? I like hearing your thoughts even though it may not influence what I choose to do in the end.

**I spent about 2.5 hours trying to figure out how to change the font for the description under the title. No luck... :(

Collage

Just experimenting with Picasa 3. I can't figure out which is the best (free) editing program. I've tried www.photoshop.com and am not too impressed. I've heard good things about Picasa. Thoughts?

I do like the idea of making collages. I see it on other blogs and am always completely a tad bit jealous. Now that I know how to do it, let's just hope I don't get too crazy and go overboard!
