I love me a package!

By now you all know my friend, Evonne.
She the next hot mommy blogger!
As a matter of fact, she was nominated for "Utah's Best Mommy Blogger".
Awesome!
If you would like to vote for her, or any other favorite Mommy bloggers like, Simple Me, the R House, Seriously So Blessed, Nie Nie, or another favorite (you can vote for three), go here and vote! I hope all my favorite bloggers win!

But speaking of Evonne, look what I got in the mail yesterday. She seriously rocks!

Huh?

Oh your wondering what that was all about? Ha ha!

I thought I might try to register my phone (new feature that showed up today) so that I can post random things from my phone. That way maybe I will remember the things I want to blog.

Apparently it doesn't work so well. lol

I got a good laugh out of it.

At least I tired.

A Blogging Year in Review! Meme.

Take the first sentence from the first post you made each month and string them together.

Wow, it's officially 2008! For me at least! I am a green fan this month! :) Adoption is something that I am passionate about. My house is a mess. OK This is how it works. Of course, ya'll know I love, love Tim McGraw. Well we are finally home for a few days. Wow, what a weekend we had! Can you believe it is already October? A few more before we are off to the happiest place on earth! I have been able to come up with so much to blog about lately, until I sit down.

Wow, what a year in review!  Next year I better make my first sentence count.

Go ahead and give it a try, I betcha it will be better than mine!  :)

Can you tell I am b-o-r-e-d today. :)

I wish I was home getting stuff done!

2.5 more hours!

r-r-r-random!

* I have been able to come up with so much to blog about lately, until I sit down.  Then it's gone.  Long gone.

* My sister's blog is having issues.  Somehow the email that she was using to post is no longer associated with her blog.  Weird.  She has Z.E.R.O. access to her blog.  (since it was private)  And blogger is not so great in the area of support.  We can not find a place to contact them. At. All.  Lame.  When we type in the blog name to see what email it is associated with...  nothing.  She never gets the email.  So, so frustrating.  If anyone has any idea, we are totally open to new ideas!  She would LOVE to have her blog back again.

* Dustyn had been sick.  No fun!  I hope he gets feeling better.  And I hope he stays away from me!  :)

* We have bought so much candy lately!  WHY?  We never buy candy, but don't worry, we have a butt load now.  Funny enough - I probably still won't eat much of it.

* Last night I made pistachio brittle.  It is pretty good, but the nuts taste burnt.  I tried a new recipe.  I should have stuck to my old one.  Oh well.  I also made English Toffee.  It tastes pretty good.  I have only had a small bite, but it was good.

* It has been THREE (well... maybe two) years since I have made Candy at Christmas.  Sad, huh?  We did however make a TON of suckers last year (Heather - Lollipops . (:  )  I am hoping to get a lot more candy made and some ginger snaps for neighbor/friend gifts.  I hope it actually happens.  *think productive, think productive*

* My most favorite Christmas album during the Holidays is this one!  I listen to it every year ALL month! I love, love, love it.  I also love Hilary Weeks Christmas Album .  I have not been too impressed with Faith Hill's Christmas album .  But any Christmas music is good Christmas music!  Wait!!  I can't forget Relient K.  I love them too!  I love Christmas Music!

* I LOVE that they have pomegranate 7-up this time of year.  I love it, so, so good.

* I also love the Candy Cane kisses.  Good thing they are seasonal!  (apparently I am craving lots and lots of candy!)

* My super cute niece, Hads, is turning FOUR tomorrow!  Can you even believe it?  I can't. I can not believe it has been four years.  JaKell was pregnant at the same time I was pregnant.  Time flies.

* Every year we get a new ornament.  This year we bought our ornament at Disneyland!  (Since that was the most exciting thing we did all year!)  If my camera was charged I would recap all the ornaments, just for you!  I just might.  Soon!

* Every time we put up our tree it gets smaller and smaller, I swear.  We just have one of those small 6 foot trees from Wallymart.  You know, the ones that have a 2 foot stem on the bottom, so really, the tree part is 4 feet...  maybe.  I laugh every year.  I do love our tree though.

* Thanksgiving was great!  We spend it with my dad's side of the family.  We ate a lot of good food, played a lot of fun games, and visited with a lot of really cool people!

* One of our favorite games to play is Boxers and Briefs.  It is seriously one of the best games ever.  We love it.  Last year we got it at Wallymart for like ten bucks.  You can see how much it is now.  C-R-A-Z-Y!  I can not believe that.  I almost want to sell mine, but it is far too fun.  Oh yes, Arianne, believe me...  we are soooo playing it on New Years!  Wooohooo!  Seriously though.  So fun!  If you can get your hands on one for under $140.00, do it.

* I am suppose to be folding laundry.  But I guess that can wait, right?  :)

* What is your all time favorite Christmas movie?  Ours for sure is Elf!  We could watch it over and over again!  Seriously, the best.

* Have you heard enough about Christmas?  Ha ha!  I am sooo excited!  Wooohooo!

Blogger Editing Options

Is anyone else having problems with blogger? Or am I just not figuring it out.

I have lost all my editing options. (Unless I enter the codes, which I am so not good at)
And uploading pictures is almost a nightmare.

Anyone else have solutions for me?
Is it happening on PC's?
Or is it just a Mac problem?

It is driving me crazy! =)

Memorial Day Weekend!

I was going to catch everyone up on my weekend, but Blogger won't let me upload pictures! :P Bummer.

But I hope you are all having a fabulous Memorial Day!

American Idol Predictions!

Visit us at Let's Talk Idol and give us your predictions!  Leave me your email or send it to dustynkamie(at)gmail.com and I will add you to our blog!  :)  It's f -u-u-u-u-n!

Is that something I did?

When I go to click on a picture to get a bigger view, it just down loads the picture on to my computer.  Is this something that I did?  When I click on JaKell's, I just get a larger picture.  That is what I want on my blog!  It's really annoying to me!

Anyone know how to fix this?  I just don't get it!

By the way . . .

Does ANYONE know how to get that silly Bookmark Button OFF my layout?!?! It drives me crazy. It was leftover from a previous layout that I had for about one minute. I can not for the life of me get rid of it. I tried to erase it on my html code, but no luck there yet. If anyone has any advice, I would very much appreciate it! :)

Slideshow Issues

So I thought it would be fun to use the sideshow element on blogger.... but for some reason it isn't bring up my pictures from my Flickr account. All the info is in correctly and still.... someone elses random pictures. Any suggestions?
