1,000th Blog Post Giveaway!

Today marks my 1,000th blog post!

WOW! I began the blog in March of 2006. How can that be? (This feels like kind of a big milestone to me: I don't know that I've done anything 1,000 times--anything that I didn't HAVE to do, yanno? Seriously, MOST of the things I begin as hobbies, I quickly abandon. Well, minus the bread-making. But this blog/journal has been an exception.)

It's the best feeling ever.

And you know what's an even better feeling? Knowing that the blog is stored on another company's server--because if we were counting on ME to save this for posterity, we'd be toast. I've easily crashed 12 hard drives since 2006. And each time I've lost everything. Every photo. Every Word document. The whole enchilada. So, thank you Blogger for the best archiver a gal can have!


And now, for the 1,000th Blogpost Giveaway,

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
