Holiday update

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

I’ve been sniffling around the last few days with a serious head cold. Nothing like a dripping nose to make the holidays miserable for me.
My sister Brenda, her husband Tim, and my two nephews, Dustin and Luke from Regina have been visiting me all week.
Between the hacking coughs and the dripping nose, it’s [...]

Countdown

Thursday, December 21st, 2006

Each of my hand made boxes contained candies, sometimes a scratch lottery ticket, and a handwritten [...]

If you need a quirky rendition of “Carol of the Bells” click over to MacBros weblog. This take on Carol of the Bells is a must see.

Roadtesting photo browser

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

Just testing the Flickr Pictobrowser. You’ve probably seen some of these pictures before. I like the way the thumbnails open to the full photo.
Does the photo size break your page view? I think the default size is too wide for my blog template. What’s your take on this widget?

I’ve posted about this clip before (Old post: “Blort your way to everlasting yuks”) but it still cracks me up big time!

If the clip doesn’t play, you can view it HERE.

This Saturday’s theme is ANNOYING. When the kids don’t play nice — that’s annoying. But when your own Mom decides to pose you with a duck on your head that’s really, really annoying.
