1. aren't the olympics over YET? I love team USA, but I can't watch anymore skiing, bobsled, curling or hockey.
2. the bachelor - the girls tell all edition - if anyone watched last night? OMG that's all I have to say. somebody not's telling the truth, I think that might be you Rosalyn, and shame on you for swearing on your child's life.
3. I know a secret!!! But it's not mine to share. It's very exciting though!
4. Tomorrow is my 36th birthday, I am in denial.
5. For some reason I can't comment on Nancy or Shelly's blog from any computer that I use! This is so frustrating. So Nancy if you are reading this: Yes, eddie & I were instant messaging each other on face book, AWESOME for running a marathon! I hope school gets better! and keep smiling! And Shelly - hang in there! keep smiling! and keep making awesome (almost scary) art journal pages!
6. I need to order about 2,000 prints to be caught up on pictures. I haven't taken many pictures so far this year (most of my pictures have been of food! what does that say?) Do you edit every single picture you print or just send them SOOC?
7. I got Photshop Elements v8!! It's still in the box. My laptop needs to go see my nephew for some TLC and security wipes. Can you believe I have a 23 almost 24 year old nephew? I can't! Kyle was born when I was 12 years old. He has come a long ways. I love that kid and I am so proud of him! I love to give him extra hugs and kisses when I see him because I know it makes him squirm just a little bit!!
8. Our dear friends the Gerbers in Colorado Springs, CO, are about to be separated again for 12 or 13 months. Denny is being deployed again to Iraq on his birthday next week. This is his 3rd tour. He is about 6 years away from retirement. Not being military I have no idea how Deena endures this with 2 babies and a dog. I can't even begin to think what Sergeant Major Gerber goes through. I look forward to the time when we can hug him again, hear his laugh and have a beer or two. Looking forward to seeing Deena & the kids this summer in Ohio.
9. Going to register Riley for kindergarten next week. It's making my stomach and my heart ache all at the same time.
10. use it or lose it. I have been saving these cardboard punch outs from our memory card game for 3 years. it was a nice cardboard grid. each opening is about 3 x 2. All paper is stampin up (i had been saving the unopened pack for a year) misc tags, flowers, buttons have been hanging around for years. The pictures? from a photo shoot I did of my friend's little girl Violet when she was 6 months (she just turned 2)
mr & mrs root (my sister in law Nancy's parents)
these are pictures from a photo shoot I did with their family nov.09. That piece of patterned paper - holding on for almost 5 years. thickers, scallops are made from misc scraps, sassafras lass flower & jewel brad, making memories journaling tags. I seriously love these 2 people. When I grow up, I want to be them. Ted & Laura. They are so cute together. I could only hope that eddie and I will remain this happy 30 years from now.
Love this 10, but we need to clear something up. It's no marathon (not yet anyway), just 6.2 miles. The longest I have done (in a race) is 3.1 and that was over ten years ago. Still haven't been able to train, which is a problem. I LOVE that page of my parents. Can I buy it? They'll be married 47 years in August. Pretty cool, huh?

1. I have not watched a lick of the Olympics...I am so ashamed.
2. I have not watched a lick of the bachelor and I'm okay with it. :)~
3. Uncool!
4. You're a Pisces! So am I!!
6. I have no idea what SOOC means.
9. I actually felt my stomach flutter when I read the word kindergarten.
PS: I tried to comment on your blog from my iPhone the other day and it wouldn't let me. Patrick and I text or facebook back and forth from the couch while we play footsie. I Love when people admit to that!!!

Hi and Happy Birthday! I rarely comment anymore on anyone's blogs...but I do still read them! Don't know why you can't comment on my blog...hmmmmm. Thanks for the good wishes. And my art journals are scary? That's kinda my brain...so I guess that makes sense. Hope all is well.

Good list, Rachel! I think we all want to be Mr. and Mrs. Root in some way : ) Good heavens, 47 years??? Well, I guess my parents will have been married 45 this summer (!!?!) so that actually sounds right, goodness. Time flies! We're having our 15th anniversary this summer!
