I'm finally ONLINE!

So this is an exciting day! My business is finally on the web. For those of you who don't know, I have been taking a web design class for the last two months. It was time for me to expand my design skills to the web—since it is such a web-based world now. Anyway, class has been really fun. I have forgotten how much I really love school and learning new things.

So, check it out! You must post comments and feedback about my site. I designed it from scratch, so I need to know if it looks good, if it is easy to use, and other general comments.

Thanks for checking it out, and tell everyone you know about it! Click the link below, or you can always find a permanent link in my "Bubbly Links" list!

Happy Twilight Day!

It finally came! 9:15 on Friday night couldn't have come soon enough! Some of my other crazy Twilighter friends and I went to see the new movie! It was so fun! Charlotte was there at 7:30 to get in line. Good thing, because the rest of us couldn't make it until 8:00, and there were tons of other insane people in line. We were able to get a great seat all together! YAY!

The movie was good. I didn't know what to expect really (maybe my expectation were too high), so there were parts and characters I thought weren't as good as I would have liked to see. But then there were parts I really liked. One of my favorite characters on screen was Carlisle! I cheered when he came on screen. Woo hoo! Now that I know what the movie is and have accepted that nothing can top reading the book, I can't wait to see it again!


Melissa, Keri, Charlotte and me (I'm wearing my "dazzled" shirt)!







The glare is bad on the poster, but here we are!


Okay, so this was funny. Melissa is sitting by one of only like maybe five guys in the whole packed theatre. It turns out that he was "the biter!" So we had to get a photo! Here's the scoop ... While standing in line to get in, we were making fun of him and the girl he was with toward the front of the line. He was—very dramatically, I might add—biting this girl's neck. WATCH OUT MELISSA!

Halloween

For J-wa and D-la, Halloween is a love-hate relationship. They have been talking about what they want to be for Halloween this year since November 1, 2007. They get so excited about dressing up and getting candy. They were determined to be Jedi's this year. J-wa was Obi Wan and D-la was Anakin. They were thrilled with their costumes.

They love pumpkins, ghosts, cats and "cute" Halloween stuff. Skeletons, clowns and most of all Scream masks are not so loved. Back in September we were shopping in Sam's Club, and they were selling life-size "Face Rippers." That was the end of Sam's Club. If I wanted to threaten them, I would tell them, "if you don't behave, I am going to take you to Sam's Club." Comments like that would be followed by screaming ... and better behavior. They would also burying their heads in shopping carts in any store that sold anything Halloween. I was worried about J-wa going to school on Halloween, but when we learned no masks were allowed, I felt a little better.

Every year, trick-or-treating is a nightmare. J-wa cries and hides in the car and won't come out if he sees a costume he doesn't like. So, this year he had to be brave or we just wouldn't go Halloween next year. Well, it turns out that he was ok. He talked himself into being brave and realizing they are just kids and adults in costumes. He said, "Mom, I was so brave. I even saw three scream masks and an ugly clown, but I just said 'They're just masks. They're just masks.' I was a little nervous, but I was ok."

J-wa's Birthday

I guess I have a little catching up to do. I won't go too far back, but J-wa had his 6th birthday in October. I took some cute photos of the kids and got some birthday shots too! J-wa loves golf, so I made him this golf ball cake.
