On A Whim...

I signed up on Facebook.

What was I thinking?

I don't know anything about Facebook and I really don't need anything else to waste my time on, especially if it involves more time on the computer. I truly don't know what possessed me to do it. I've had no interest in MySpace or Facebook but yet all of a sudden, out of the blue, I signed up!

So far, I don't see the appeal. Maybe I'm not seeing it for what it is, I don't know. Maybe I'll like it better once I figure out what I'm doing or when I discover why everyone is so crazy about it.

I've got family and a few blogging buddies as "friends" along with a couple of people who want to be my "friend" yet I don't even know them. Kinda scary and weird!

Like I said, what was I thinking!?! If you're a fan of Facebook, I'm all ears.

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question: Do you like fish?

Normally I'm not much of a fish lover but tonight we had the most delicious fish for dinner. We're in Ventura Beach for our Camping Club weekend and a group of us went to Andria's for dinner. They've got the best fish and chips around and you should see the line up at the door waiting to get in. I passed on the chips and had a small salad instead. I even had a diet coke...and if you know me, that's really something. I hate diet anything but I'm seriously on one. So far so good.

Have a great weekend!

Shake What Your Momma Gave You!

Obviously Carol had people that encouraged her along the way and had cheerleaders in her life. Although she is a little "bizarre" as Sharon Osborne puts it, Carol has poise and self confidence. I hope we are all blessed to have cheerleaders in our lives. Better yet, hopefully we're cheerleaders in other peoples lives.

Way to go Carol and good luck!

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

I recently bought a new camera, one of those nice big zoom lens semi-professional type cameras, although I'm a far cry from even being semi, semi, semi-professional!

I haven't read the manual entirely but for now I've got everything set on "auto". While my pictures certainly are clear, I'm noticing the colors aren't as bright and vivid as I thought they'd be.

So here's the question: If you also use one of these cameras, what settings do you keep it on? Do you get bright, vivid colors in your photographs? Do I need to use photoshop in order to get the best pictures? I've never used photoshop before, it looks intimidating!

I'm lazy and don't want to read the manual from cover to cover right now...so please share and ADVISE!

Now That's Creative!

One of the reasons why I enjoy blogging so much is because of all of the creativity that's always so freely shared. I'm amazed and reminded everyday at how smart, witty, creative, funny, and industrious women truly are.

I made these 4th of July favors today and I can't get over how adorable and creative they are. I wasn't smart enough to think of these on my own, but Ramona did. You can check out her wonderful blog here.


Just rolled up candy (rolos, sweetarts) and a red pipe cleaner in tin foil and in minutes I had the cutest favors around. Couldn't be any easier. Thank you Ramona for the inspiration!
