Jam-it, Janet!

It would be an understatement to say that Chip, Marcia, Nick and I like strawberries. In fact, when we found out that there is a pick-your-own berry farm a mere 30 minutes southwest of Columbus, it was all we could do NOT to take the rocketcar. But, with gas prices and all...



There were fields and fields of them! And the vines were LOADED! We just kept picking and picking...and managed to fill up 4 cartons with beautiful, red, sweet strawberries!!!




In all, we picked about 40 pounds of strawberries...which we subsequently turned into 2 gallons of Jam, and packages of frozen strawberries for smoothies. It was beautiful!

Quickbooks?! More like Suckbooks!!!

I have just spent the last 12 hours of my working life attempting to download my business bank account statement into Quickbooks- a process that was promised all over the box. Silly me, believing something on the box. I swear to you, I could FEEL an ulcer forming.

So, I appeal to you, loyal readers, do you know anything about Quickbooks? Anything? If so, may I abuse your knowledge and frienship? Well, at least I asked.

Our little girl's become a woman!

Over the past couple days we've realized that Maeby has, well, grown up! We'll spare you the details.



Anyway, on Friday night we had to rig up a temporary diaper in order to... well, we'll spare you more of the details.



It took Beth, Kate, Libby, and I to put the "diaper" in place. Fortunately, the brown of the towel matched Maeby's coat. Keeping our pup clean and dignified, right?

Day 1 of Super Summer Camp

Just finished my first day working the summer camp at Lifetime Fitness. Lots of fun games, lots of child wrangling, and lots of exhaustion. But I had to share three gems:

1.) One of the kids at lunch: "I don't mean to be funny, but sometimes when I sweat, it goes down my butt."

2.) Another kid at lunch: "Have you ever been to prison?"

3.) While at the pool, one 1st grader spent half an hour explaining to me the plot of a Captain Underpants book. Even when I ran off to tend to other kiddies, upon my return he would ask, "Do you want me to keep telling you the story?" How could I say no?

It's going to be an interesting summer.

I got a new job a few months back; I am now the General Manager and President of Paul Robinett, ltd, art gallery and world-famous candles! (www.paulrobinett.com) If you haven't received candles from me, the self-made Candle Fairy, email me and I'll hook you up.

Anyhoo- Paul IS a real guy, and a great guy. I've been having a fabulous time getting to know this multi-talented, interesting guy and am thrilled to be working with him! He emailed this link to me today, and I just had to share it. It's a video he made 2 years ago, just to see what he could do. Enjoy!
