This is kinda neat-o =o)
I figured out how to add a signature to my posts! ;o)
Go to http://www.mylivesignature.com/ and following the directions. When it gives you the HTML code, go to your dashboard/settings/layout and scroll to the bottom where it says "Post Template" and paste the HTML code there and save your changes!
Your signature will start showing up on your posts but won't be added to your previous posts. There is a way to make it show up on previous posts but that entails you having to edit your actual HTML code, which I don't plan on doing! I guess another downside of doing it this way and not having it edited into your HTML code is that when you start a post and accidentally delete your signature from it, you can't add it back in unless you start a new post...so you'd have to copy and paste what you already had, into a new post.
That's my blog tip of the century...you won't get much more from me, as I am not that gifted when it comes to blog layouts. LOL!

Rant and Rave for today...
Rant: People Reading in the Bathroom
Ugh, just gross. Get in and get out, people!!
Rave: My New Hard Drive
Jeff just ordered me a 250GB PINK external USB hard drive from newegg.com. The thought of loosing any of my pictures on my current hard drive just scares me. Hopefully nothing ever happens to my current drive but I've always wanted a back-up for all my pictures and important files. We've talked about getting me another hard drive at times but tonight we actually did it. Thanks to my technology savvy husband, he knew what would be best for my computer and showed me the pink one. I fell in love. =-) It even comes with software to sync it up to files on my current computer so it'll be really easy to ensure I have a back-up of all my important files...mainly all my pictures! =-)

Valentine's Day
Today, Valentine's Day, we spent a majority of the day sanding down the rest of our wood trim. We have one more doorway to sand and we'll be DONE with that part! So, in my collage (using Picasa, inspired by Katie's blog!) you can see the taped kitchen windows, ready for painting. Fozzy jumped up in the picture so I snapped a few more of him. =-) We never let him on the counters but since the blinds were down, he was curious about having a new window to look out of. Also in the collage are the flowers Jeff got me and the jelly bellies I got him. Yeah, we go all out for V-Day! ;-) And then, nicely displayed on my oven are the various V-Day towels my mom has made me through out the years. I also took a picture of the white bean chicken chili we are making for dinner. First try at that so hope it turns out good!

25 Random Things, Facts, Goals, Quirks...
1. I'm a worry wart.
2. I love routine and consistency...I don't do well with change.
3. I have about 5 websites I check religiously every morning.
4. I honestly believe my RB cat, Oliver will be the first to greet me at the pearly gates when I die.
5. I hate to read books, but can read anything that is on a computer screen.
6. One of my biggest problems in life is trying to figure out what makes Fozzy physically twitch all the time. It scares him and makes us sad when he does it.
7. I am obsessed with finances and money, therefore, I'm cheap and stingy.
8. I plan to see Dave Ramsey when he comes to KC in May.
9. I think about going back to work on Sunday nights and it makes me more anxious and stressed than the actual work does on Monday morning.
10. I go to church on Sundays and Jeff makes sure I do.
11. I'm on the 9/80 schedule at work and have every other Friday off work. I live for my 3-day weekends.
12. I lead a simple life...nothing too stressful in it, which is why I fear adding any kids to the mix!
13. I often get complemented on my eye color.
14. I really like my house...and it's pretty big, yet when I am home, I spend 95% of my time in one room, our office.
15. When eating at Texas Roadhouse, I want to just grab a broom and start sweeping up all the peanut shells. I'm OCD.
16. I have 4 sisters and we all get each other. We all think alike.
17. I take pride in any job I have and it's really hard to quit one even if I'm miserable at it.
18. I went to Illinois State and think getting my degree was my biggest accomplishment.
19. I think everyone I know is pregnant. I'm afraid it's a just a fad and when my time comes, no one else will be. It's also a time I'm not craving yet.
20. I love reading people's blogs, even blogs of people I don't know.
21. When I retire, I will be playing World of Warcraft again.
22. I hate the cold...in fact I can't even stand the Fall. I love hot summer days with clear skies and even humidity.
23. I play sand volleyball and often reminisce about when we had a net in the parent's backyard and all the neighborhood kids would come over and play.
24. I often think life is just flying by. Being able to distinguish new people at work as recent college graduates, makes me realize I've been out of college for nearly 6 years.
25. I love Cheerio Chex mix...just cheerios, butter, garlic powder and W sauce.

Merry Sister Weekends...
So, in 2006, the Merry sisters slowly started moving away. Jennifer to Connecticut, Lisa from Chicago to Texas, myself to Kansas and Megan to Springfield. When Lisa moved to Chicago, we started a tradition of the "Merry Sister Weekends." After Chicago, we all visited Jennifer in 2006 in Connecticut. Then in 2007, we all traveled to Houston, TX to stay a weekend with Lisa. In 2008, all the sisters came to KS to visit for a weekend. The sisters are all back in Normal, IL, except me so I think the tradition will continue with everyone coming here each summer! Or maybe someday we can all meet in Florida or something!
Anyway, thought I'd share a picture from each Merry Sister Extravaganza. I always enjoy looking back at the pictures. It's goooood times!!
