Friday Post of the Random
• Blogger forced me to upgrade to the New! Non-beta! Blogger! I am scared.
• After a fantastic weekend of scrapbooking, where I completed eight pages and laughed so hard I got buzzed from endorphins (And chocolate. And beer. And having no one ask me to wipe their butt.), I have decided to stick with it. At least until I finish and album for John and Ava. Then, we'll see. I think digital albums will be the way to go once I get caught up to 2005.
• Going forward, the Tuesday Giveaway will be called the Now-Defunct Tuesday Giveaway. It didn't work out, for a couple of reasons. First, having to do it every week, I ended up doing give aways with no review at all. I at least like to make some effort to do a real review, but with the weekly self-imposed deadline I couldn't keep up. And finally, I just didn't get that much of a response. I'll still do giveaways from time to time, just not every week. Or month.
• Remember how I said I couldn't find my motivation to lose weight? Guess what I remembered. My 20th high school reunion is this November. I was chunky in high school and I will be damned -- DAMNED! -- if I'm going to be chunky at the reunion. Especially since I was skinny most of the time since I left high school! I am, however, appropriately leary of using my high school classmates as motivation, since they didn't work so well the first time around.
• Kraft fat-free shredded mozarella tastes like rubber, and when you melt it, it somehow gets harder. I thought I was eating the fake cheese from Ava's kitchen play set.
• Last night, I met with John's preschool teachers. Can I tell you how in love with John's preschool teachers I am? So in love. I want to box them up and take them home with me. I want them as honorary family members. John is thriving, is brilliant, loves school again, etc. etc. The Preschool Crisis of 2006 is officially over.
• I owe DotMoms some posts, and I've started working with a coach for training in the Pathway/Solution program that I mentioned last month. So posting here will be a little light for a while. But when I do post, hoo boy, look out! Quality, coming your way! Or, not.

Glad you had a productive scrapbooking weekend!
I love good preschool teachers. Aren't they such something special. A whole 'nother breed of person...

I was forced to update Blogger too! In the middle of a HIGHLY STRESSFUL, MULTI-LINKAGE, computer not cooperating tizzy! I haven't posted since, but here's hoping all is well with that. For me and for you.

I followed you here from my blog only to discover I've been here before...but where did I find you before?
Anyway, I really enjoyed this post.
The scrapbooking sounds like it was super fun. Plus, how can you go wrong with laughing, chocolate, and beer?

I hate to break it to you - but Kraft fat-free shredded mozarella is rubber. And cow eyes or something like that....
