I know which one to use, but why do I sometimes type the wrong one? Brain and typing fingers just don't work together.
5 Grammar Tips to Help You Sound Smarter (3/5)
They're There Make sure you use there, their, and they're correctly. How do you remember which is which? I have a couple of little tricks: The word "there" typically refers to locations. So just remember that "here" is also a location, and "here" is a part of the word "there." Easy. The wo...
Love this post. Very entertaining and informative! Can you help stop people from using irregardless? That non-word makes me crazy!!
5 Grammar Tips to Help You Sound Smarter (5/5)
Just Ask Google If you're unsure about how to spell a certain term, even a very common phrase, look it up. If it's a multi-word phrase that may not show up in a dictionary, just Google the phrase using both possible spellings, and see how many times each of them comes up. Most of the time, th...
Voted for you. Wow, that place sounds fabulous! We need a spa like that in Indiana.

So, I have a teeny, tiny favor to ask of you. Just click on over to the Sego Lily Blog and leave a comment on my post over there. Here's a preview of what you'll find in my recap of the great Body Butter Drench of May 27. materials: patterned paper, border sticker, round sticker (Scenic Route...
Very excited about write.click.scrapbook!
Where I'm At.
(Photo by PatrickSmithPhotograpy at Flickr) I am so much a product of my environment. I have never realized that so much as I do now -- just days away from moving cross-country to Boston from California. I may not be a blond, blue-eyed surfer girl, but all the same, I am a California girl! He...
Okay, I didn't do what I said I was going to do. I didn't clean out my scrap space. Two days was way unrealistic, but I did clean the my work surface.
One thing I did do yesterday that I've been putting off is running. I ran two half marathons in May (well more of a jog and I walked about 3 miles in the second one). And, well, running hasn't been at the top of my to do list since the second half marathon. Well, if you've ever trained for a long distance before, you know that if you don't use it, you lose it. You have to keep up with the running to maintain your level of fitness. So, last night after the kids went to bed, I did it. I got on the treadmill (I'd rather run outside but it was late and dark). I didn't run too far (about 2.5 miles) and I didn't run fast, but I ran. I'm back on the wagon!! Thanks, Lain.
Bad Habits
Okay, I admit it. I drink WAYYY too much Diet Coke. I actually quit drinking soda for almost five years. Then I thought I could go back and drink just one occasionally. Ha! Isn't that what all addicts say? That they can stop anytime they want? I'm way over my head again. I know it's not good...
I have been putting off cleaning my scrap space. Let's see if I can get it done in the next two days!
Procrastination.
I am in a bit of pain. I'm recovering from a minor surgery - nothing major or dangerous at all, just something that needed to be done that I'd been putting off. Finally, John ORDERED me to get it done. After a year or more of constantly thinking about this particularly unpleasant chore, it's fin...
Oh, and can't wait to see your album once you get to Boston.
Up!
In my never-ending attempt to keep the kids out of the hotel room as much as possible, we headed out earlier today to see the new Disney movie "Up!" (not the 3D version -- can't stand 3D). The movie was adorable, inspiring, touching, and it brought me to tears more than once. Central to the m...
Pixar did it again. Great movie. No 3D for us either. Just regular old movie. I loved the movie too and did note the significance that the scrapbook played. I cried several times as well. It was sweet when my son wiped the tears from my cheek.
Great idea, Lain. I haven't scrapped much lately, so this is a good challenge to get me back to it.

I would love to be an organized person naturally, but I'm not. It's a lot of work for me. I am trying to tackle a little bit at a time. 10 minutes of organizing a drawer. Or spending a hour cleaning out the fridge. I'm just trying to take it in small chunks so I don't get overwhelmed. I'm giving away a lot of my son's baby and toddler clothes since my newborn daughter won't be using them. I'm trying to make regular trips with stuff to Goodwill. Just doing it a little at a time.
Spring Cleaning where you benefit
I don’t know about you, but we’ve had spring fever at MM for a long time. The weather has been beautiful and we keep crossing our fingers that it will stay that way. When spring comes, so does the urge to do some spring cleaning. We took a ½ day here and did just that. Everyone in the office...
It totally agree. I miss the woman's blog!
gold macaroni angels...???
yes...cathy is now making gold macaroni angels! girlfriend please start blogging again, you obviously have too much time on your hands...LOL!!! i laughed so hard last night i almost peed myself!
My simple pleasure today is going to be just enjoying spending time with my husband and son and to enjoy being pregnant. After the ultrasound screening we had Thursday showed several soft markers for Down Syndrome, I've been really worried. However, seeing Donna's post made me think that I really do just need to enjoy the simple things in life because they are important. So, for today (and hopefully through my due date in January) I can remember to just enjoy simple things because I am truly blessed.
coffee, GOOOOOD!
really other than that...and the fact that i got my new "Slice of Life Scrapbooking" special issue from Simple (and it flippin' rocks) this morning...that is all i have to report! i love when my life is simple! what are the simple pleasures in your life today? ...and then after you post...prin...
I was so excited to take your class and I'm so bummed that you won't be here. I just talked with the store and have a credit to buy stuff. That's not as much fun as taking your class though.
I have been seeing all the pictures from your classes and how fun they looked and I'm so bummed. I guess I'll just have to watch you on QVC.
I hope you can come teach classes in Indianapolis in the future.

I worked from home today so I could watch you at 3. Awesome! How cute are you? I screamed when you came on. I'm taking your class at Xanadu in Indianapolis in March and can't wait. I'm so excited to be able to learn from you. Rock on!
