My boring life of blogging...

I will be taking applications for anyone who wants to "cute" up my blog. I cant figure this darned thing out, and I dont think I have the patience. So its a complete dinner on me for whoever wants to give detail and fresh look to my ugly blog.
Also, just for everyones information, our life is much more "extraordinary" than my lack of posts might portray. Im just bad at keeping up. Also, for everyones information~ since Circuit City has announced the liquidation of every one of thier stores I will be on the lookout for a new camera. I bought our current camera before one of my traveling excursions and I think it just might have been one of the first ones ever made...or its made of pure gold. The thing weighs about 5 pounds.

Seriously...

I'm writing a letter. My super genius child was able to open the so-called "child proof" infants Tylenol bottle. It was on his dresser which apparently he can reach when he climbs up onto his window seat... either way he was able to open the bottle. Thankfully he found it much more fun to pour it out all over the place rather than eat it.
