Punchbowl Challenge

I can't believe I haven't written about this site before.  For the longest time I was a bluemountain.com, hallmark.com, and a 123greetings.com girl.  Then I met Punchbowl.com.  I love this site.  Well, I love it right now because their free e-card selection still rocks my socks.  You can send a card to anyone complete with personalized envelope and stamp.  It's a true virtual card experience.  And no, I'm not being compensated to write anything about them.  So what got me on the Punchbowl bandwagon this morning?  Well, I've been in a funk lately and I've decided that I'm going to challenge myself to send an e-card to one person once a week for the next 52 weeks using Punchbowl (that's a year for those of you having difficulty computing).  I figure in helping brighten someone's day, I'll help me feel a little less woe-is-me too.  Now before you go getting all concerned that I'm depressed, I'm not really.  I just need to turn my karma around.  I've had such bad luck lately, I need to take this bull by the horns.

Anyone else want to join me in my Punchbowl Challenge?  Just think of how many smiles we can create week to week.

Furry Friday: Looking Fabulous

Yesterday both Riley and I had a few appointments that afforded me the ability to work half day and spend the other half of my day driving around with my number one fur-child.  The old man had a check up, a bordatella shot, and a grooming.  I had a follow up doctor's appointment, six vials of blood work processed, and an x-ray.  Fun fun.  But at least he looks fabulous.

Elf Month

I know it's not Christmas, but "elf" is eleven in Afrikaans hence the title "Elf Month."  Hey, you learn something new everyday.  Any who, in a month's time Jayson has changed in leaps and bounds.  Almost literally.  The kid is a flurry of movement these days.  Gone are the lazy Saturday afternoons with Jayson snuggled up in my lap.  He wants to get down and get into everything (the dog's bowls, turning the xbox on and off, pulling magazines off the end table, etc). Even to look at him, he has graduated in my mind from "baby" to a toddler and he's a vocal one at that.  He's loud, he's like a bull in a china shop, and he points at everything.  In other words: he's FUN.
