Testing Windows Live Writer

I may be a little behind in the times but I’ve only just downloaded Windows Live Writer to see if it will make blogging easier.

So this is my test post to see if it’s going to publish from my desktop.

Fingers crossed!

Dreaming about pigeons?

Have you ever had a dream of a place that you have never heard of before only to find that the place really exists? Last night I dreamt that my dad had gone to the shops to buy some milk and he rung me to say that he bought a log cabin in the mountains. For some reason, he kept saying “I’m going to live with the pigeons.”

When I woke up this morning, the feeling was still there about this cabin with the pigeons so I did a search and it freaked me out when I found Pigeon Forge cabins!

Does anyone want to interpret my dream? Does it mean anything or am I just weird? (On second thoughts, don’t answer that last question!)

Gotta love the grandparents!

I mentioned the other day that I wanted to get a swing set for our backyard. We had one when the babes were younger but then it sat unused for a few years so we ended up giving it away.

Now that our Bubba is getting older, I thought it’d be good to get one for her to play on. I was going to layby one for Christmas for her but my dad and stepmum found one in great condition at a garage sale (yard sale) and brought it over yesterday – complete with a baby swing so she can use it now!

But wait there’s more!

Dad called today to ask if I wanted a slippery slide that attaches to the swing set. Hell yeah! LOL He bought it at another garage sale. So he’ll be dropping that off tomorrow when they come to visit.

Simple Entrecard Meme

I noticed that I was tagged by Jenn to do this meme as well!

Simple Entrecard Meme Instructions:

1. Read these instructions twice;
2. Drop your EntreCard at this site;
3. Drop your EntreCard at the 5 EntreCard users’ sites listed below;
4. Choose 5 other EntreCard users;
5. Copy these instructions to your own EntreCard meme article and tag (link) those 5 people;
6. Include a link to the EntreCard meme article of the person who tagged you;
7. Link to the original article “Sam Freedom’s Drop Squad – the First EntreCard Meme Known to Bloggers“;
8. Notify the people you choose that they’ve been tagged;
9. Comment below so even passers-by can drop their card at your site, too (it shows you are active and will likely return the favor)
10. (optional) IF you tag your blogs, use both “entrecard” and “entrecard meme” as tags so that others can find them AND so that we can find them all later as this grows. (If you don’t know what tagging is, don’t worry.)

Five other Entrecard blogs I love are:

1. Wired For Noise
2. Army Mom: New Jersey
3. A Roaming Aussie Mum
4. A.K.A. Mum
5. Themuxicbox

Tag, You’re it!

I was tagged by Wired For Noise to do this interesting alphabet meme.

Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an “A,” you’d replace the link under that letter and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.

1. My Chronic Life
2. My 3 Boys and I
3. Planning With Kids
4. Laura’s Daily Life
5. Puss Reboots

BrisVegas!

My sister and her husband have been invited to their friends’ wedding at the end of the year. When she called to say that she was looking online checking out how much it was going to cost to stay in a hotel in Vegas, I thought she meant Las Vegas, USA. She just laughed and said “No! I meant BrisVegas!” BrisVegas is the tongue-in-cheek nickname given to Brisbane, Queensland because of it’s resemblance to Las Vegas. Huh! I was ready to tell her that I’ll hide in her luggage…lol
