Amusing dream

I am a big believer of dreams - literally and figuratively.  I had an actual dream last night that I thought I would share.  I was at a restaurant with a bunch of old high school mates (several men and women) including one of my best friends at the time (Janna, for those who know her).  We were chatting about other old acquaintances from school and church who were not there at the moment.  Well, Janna looked at me and said, "I wonder about..." and then she blushed brightly (which she did well and often during high school - lol!) and her sentence trailed off.  I sat there thinking, "Is she thinking of some former crush she had back when?  Or maybe it was someone I had a crush on.  (which was ten times more likely!!!)"  I tried to get her to tell me who she was thinking of and she tried to give me hints without giving it away to the others around me.  The clues were very odd and try as I might, I could NOT figure out who she was referring to.  Well, right when I was ready to give up and try to get her to whisper it to me (though at the time, I was feeling that would be extremely rude in front of the others), our food came to our table and it all made sense and dawned on me!!!!  She hadn't been talking about a person AT  ALL!!!  She had been talking about the food!!!!!!!!!  HA HA HA!!!  I started laughing out loud and everyone turned to stare at me and that's when I woke up.  What a great twist, eh?  I LOVE dreams.  I love having them and trying to figure out what part of my sub-conscience could have come up with that particular entertainment.  Gee, I wonder why anyone would dream about food????

My little brother was honored for being a 911 dispatcher during the Feb. 14th shooting that happened at Northern Illinois University.  I'm so proud of him!!

My new look

Welp, here it is!!  My new logo and design for my blog.  What do you think????  I've also changed my website, though it is not as dramatic as my blog.  I thought to commemorate this wonderful occasion, I would share a family portrait I recently spent WAY too much time working on.  You can go HERE to find out more about it.  :)

The ridiculous.

So, my big brother has started a blog.  I have no doubt what-so-ever that he will have entertaining and interesting things to share - along with the ridiculous.  Though he has said he plans on his blog being better than mine.  WHAT????  I don't think so.  He is, of course, welcome to try.  :)  Drop off a hello for him, won't you?

ALSO... exciting news!!!  I have a NEW LOGO and will be starting spring specials soon!!!  Keep an eye out!

More than just photos...

Weeks ago I had decided that I wanted to be more consistent with my blog and post more often and about more then just my photos.  Well, surprise!  It hasn't happened!  lol  I just get busy and caught up in everyday life.  So, I'm starting now.  I've decided to share a couple of things that have been on my mind lately.  Don't get too excited now, I did say *MY* mind - never anything too exciting going on in there!!

First, I have decided that I have become way too much of a frumpy mom!!!  This point was proven to me just yesterday when my youngest came home from preschool.  As I was giving her a welcome home hug, she looked at me and said, "Mom, where did you go today?"  I thought, how does she know I didn't stay home?  I told her I went to a neighbors house.   Then asked her, "How did you know I went somewhere?"  She smiled and said, "Because, you have make-up and earrings!"  Point taken.  Today, I will be putting on make-up AND earrings... as soon as I get my shower... which will hopefully be before my husband gets home this afternoon.

Second.  Those who know me, know I enjoy a few TV shows.  I used to watch WAY too much TV!!!  Impossible, you say???  Not Mary!!!  Yes, yes, it is the sad, sad truth.  So, I have had to discipline myself and now there is no more Today show or Oprah or anything during the day (unless one of the kids is watching a movie and I catch some of it, of course).  But, I do enjoy an occasional American Idol (I know - there are many of you who hate this show, but I just can't help myself!!!) and Biggest Loser (the people on this show are so inspirational, if a bit scheming at times).  Well, this year on AI, there has been this 17 yr old from Utah that I have just keep thinking I had seen before.  Well, I finally discovered that I HAD seen him before.  On Star Search years ago.  Check him out...

I have to admit that I am a big fan.  He seems like a good kid with an even better voice.  Plus, (so sorry, D but it's the truth) he looks quite a bit like my brother-in-law!  My kids even said it before I voiced the opinion outloud.  My bil likes to deny this, but he might as well just be happy that he doesn't look like some of the other contestants!!  ;)  Ha Ha!

Here's my favorite he has sung so far.  OH, and if for some reason I die in the near future, ask him to come sing For Good at my funeral, won't you?  (check it out on you tube)

(NOW... what to do about too much computer time...????)
