{ My Poor Blog }

I’ve been neglecting it this week setting up our new family blog (which everyone seems to be using regularly and I LOVE it) and then a blog for the digital housewives girls. The banner on that one still needs a little work and I’d like to add links in the sidebar to each of their galleries but otherwise it’s pretty much ready for use. :) I also finally redid my desktop background which was long overdue. I was missing photos of Eva and Ainsley so now they’re included. I made this one with just the neats from my side of the family so that I could send a copy for my mom and sisters to use if they want but I’d like to figure out a way to include Andrew and Celena in my own copy so I’ve gotta move things around a bit but for now its at least different. I LOVE starting my computer and seeing all their adorable faces and the doodles just make me happy. :)

In other news this week, Mary & I have booked our Christmas vacation in Mexico. I have NEVER been anywhere more tropical than Florida which in comparison really doesn’t even count. Completely all inclusive, a long airplane flight (which I LOVE) and hopefully we’ll come back with some great tans just in time for all those Christmas photos. :) PLUS, I don’t have to pay a dime. The whole trip is paid for as a Christmas bonus for helping her out with her real estate business. She’s been manually entering their tenants payments and all their expenses which I can see would be a nightmare at tax time so I’m setting up software to keep track of it all. Truth be told though, to me setting up all those calculations and data entry screens is almost as much fun as digi-designing and scrapping so getting paid to do something I enjoy lately has been a treat in itself and then to have an all-expense paid trip to Mexico on top of it…am I spoiled or what?!
