Blogroll, again

OK, it’s gone from my sidebar because I didn’t like how long it made the page, especially with this new theme and the fact that comments displayed below the end of the sidebar.

So, I realized (duh) an easy way to cut and paste it into a page, the link is up at there at the top of the blog, right underneath the photo and title — the whole list is there for you to peruse and link from at your leisure.

Spirit Week

This weekend is Homecoming — and last week I was asked if I would like to have a student group paint my windows.  Sure (as long as they come back and clean it up!!)

Unfortunately, it rained last night, so the paintings are looking kinda yuck right now.  I don’t know if they’ll repair, remove or just leave them as is.  They’ll be back on Sunday to clean, no matter what.

One of the cool things about our school is that they do a really good job of getting the younger kids involved in spirit week activities, too, inviting them to dress up on the dress-up days, and they all get to go to the pep rallies before the big games.  Sometimes, I wonder if the younger kids ahve more fun than the big kids with some of this….

Monday was Roll Out of Bed Day.  Joe literally rolled out of bed and wore his jammies, Will had worn something else (with long sleeves and pants) and changed into a different set of jammies before heading off to school.

I tried to do a photo shoot when they got to the shop.

I have not participated in the postcard exchanges at MQResource since last fall.  I want to, I just can’t justify it…so you can imagine my surprise when I got home last night and found this beauty on my kitchen counter!!

Thanks, AnnMarie!  It’s lovely!

I need to bring my postcard collection down to the shop, I bet visitors would enjoy looking through them.

In the further chronicles of Suzanne’s Mac experience, I have to mention that I stuck this postcard on my scanner bed, scanned it, and the computer was smart enough to automagically crop out the white parts of the scanner bed.

On top of that, installation of the printer/scanner was truly plug and play.  I plugged it in and…did nothing else.  It just…worked.  I know it won’t always be sunshine and roses, but wow.  I am impressed so far.
