Welcome to 2014...Where's my flying car?!

As part of my own twist on New Years Resolutions, I've uninstalled the Facebook app on my phone and plan on resisting the urge to log on using Chrome on the phone as well.  I figure my time is MUCH better spent with my baby girl, my hubby and my home.  Cutting back my social media interactions will be a good start to this new year.  I had also planned on cutting back on Instagram, but seriously this kid is too photogenic NOT to keep sharing with the world. 



I would like to apologize to anyone who texted me with New Year tidings last night (there were several numbers I didn't recognize and I ended up deleting all incoming texts by accident when I thought I was only deleting one from someone I did know...oops.) So if you sent it, Happy New Year to you too.

I trust everyone had a safe and happy holiday celebration last night.  I'm still waiting to hear from the hubs, who stayed at his brothers' house last night.  Natalie and I visited until we were too pooped to visit any longer and we came on home.  We were tucked into bed just after 10pm, safe and snug and sleeping through the ruckus of bottle rockets that were surely being shot off at the stroke of midnight.

This morning she and I celebrated a new year with what could be made out of the last of the 10 lbs bag of pancake mix I bought back on Sept. 30th.  And then we played and snuggled and watched some Sesame Street before she finally decided she needed a nap.

Which brings us to right now.  I'm contemplating staying in my jammies all day.  Reading or knitting or just watching TV until the babe wakes and wants lunch.

Happy New Year to you three!! Hope 2014 brings you abundant blessings (well, how can you top the Starfish??), prosperity, health, you know...all the good stuff. And I vote for staying in your jammies all day. Anything you choose to do after that will be great - can't have a bad day wearing pajamas. :)

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
