12 Weeks!

Today was our second visit to the doctor's office since the pregnancy began. Not much to report, although it was kind of weird watching someone else probe Lori and carry on a conversation while doing so. They took a blood sample and a urine sample along with the infamous inspection to determine whether or not she has little boy hips (by the way, she has little girl hips). Everything seems to be ok! We'll do it again in another month.

The Big 33!!!!!

Friday was the wife's birthday! We celebrated at her sister's house. Uncle Gregg smoked some sausage/chicken/and ribs.....ummm good! Nana made some potato salad. Grandad flew in from Florida to get his egg yolk free potato salad which Nana says was a pain in the butt to make. My mother and uncle were there along with Mamaw. We always find a way to get together for birthdays.

I am a Lensmaster!

With little time to spare this week due to two employees quitting the company I work for, which allowed me to pick up their work along with mine with no pay increase, i somehow found time to become a lensmaster. If you haven't heard of Squidoo.com, then follow the link. The website is an online community of "lenses" allowing people to earn a buck while sharing their expertise. I found the site while reading an article on CNN. The website gives money to charity as well as the lensmasters who build their pages bringing people to their sites. Pretty Cool Stuff.

Here are my two lenses, which you can find in my favorite links as well.

Texas Garden
Texas Tech

HTML

Tim Berners-Lee started (HTML) hypertext markup language along with the (WWW)world wide web and is one bad muther! I find myself looking up something new on the internet every night. It has become a complete addiction! I think i would even pay to go back to college just to learn more of this stuff instead of trying to teach myself. The only problem would be my slight form of (ADHD) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

A good website for me has been HTML Goodies.

Are we all addicted? I am an average user, today....Try the quiz. I will try it again in 6 months and see if i get the same results......


Are you Addicted to the Internet?

42%


Average@Internet-User.com (41% - 60%)
You seem to have a healthy balance in your life when it comes to the internet and life away from the computer. You know enough to do what you want online without looking like an idiot (most of the time). You even have your own Yahoo club or online journal! But you enjoy seeing your friends and going out to enjoy life away from your computer.
