Blogging Is Catching

Occasionally I take a minute or two to check out other folks blogs. This week I found a couple of interesting posts. I haven't read the blogs in any great detail, but these individual posts are quite good. I am betting the Hemel one was Jimmy!

Yeah, kinda contagious, isnt it? Fun to just hop around and read random people's blogs. *grin*

I grew up in Missouri, my parents are both from Illinois. Welcome to the MidWest, to you and Lorraine! I dated a guy who was from Dundee, Scotland (his family is still there) and who now lives in London. After 5 years, we(?) had decided that he didnt want to live here in the States ... that in order for things to work out, I was to move over there. Among other compromise issues, (my obsession with dogs, his fear of them *laugh*) we're now "just friends". I still hope to retire to Scotland someday. I would go right now on my own if I could safely transport my pets without heavy quarantine. d:)

Yup yup, new to the blog world I am. I needed to sign up for an account in order to leave a comment on one of our local news sites' webpages, so I decided to play with it.

What I think is REALLY funny, is that I read on Lorraine's blog that she was working in Chessington over in England ... that's where my ex-boyfriend lives now, and where I spent three months. I was always hopping the number 71 bus in to Kingston, or walking to the Chessington North station to catch the train in to London.

I liked Dundee. Windy, every time I was there ... the Firth of Tay was always choppy. We only ever drove through areas on the west coast ... never spent a lot of time over on that side. Spent a lot of time around Aviemore and in the Highlands, which I love... and on the north coast, but I havent been to any of the islands.

How much time have you spent in the States? In Chicago, you're in for a fairly traditional warm summer, and then should have a whopper of a winter with lots of ice, cold and snow. d:)

Vote For The Cutest Baby

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Image
Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
