1. I finally got all the pictures transferred from the laptop to my main computer, just last night. *whew* Now, I must start organizing them so that I can get photo books completed for each child with their specific adventures and friends highlighted for them to remember. (And to share at school here.)
2. Speaking of transfers, I am very happy (dare I say, joyous?) that I have amalgamated both of my iTunes libraries onto one computer. Seriously, I did a little happy dance when it was completed last night, and again when I eliminated the duplicate songs today. When I finally get my iPod back from Apple, all fixed up and stuff, I will dance like no one has ever seen me dance before. (But I promise that the windows will all be covered, first.)
3. Further on the subject of transfers - part of the reason for my silence on this blog of late is due to my family members transferring the 'flu from one to the other to the next, working its way through all five of us these past ten days, ending with me. I am better now, thank you, but am spending a great deal of my time bleaching door knobs, and light switches, and other common places. (And now, as I think of more common places, I am loathe to touch the keyboard again. Eeeeeew! Does anyone know if those germ killing sprays would fry a keyboard? Anyone??)
(One pair of rubber cleaning gloves later...)
4. Blogger, is, indeed, really buggy lately. It's starting to irritate me a bit.
5. I am itching to get at the eleventy-hundred pictures that we took of Legoland, and post them. But I know that I'll start looking at them, and not stop for a long time, so I can't look at them tonight as I really need to sleep. (The need for sleep is especially obvious in how I spelled sleep, previously: slepp, sllep, slleep. *rolling eyes*
6. The rain, it is a-pouring down here this weekend. This is our traditional long weekend that signals the start of camping season. And last night, the rain came down horizontally at times, with the enormous gusts of wind that made the rain oh, so special! I am super thankful that we are not campers, and were not out somewhere in a tent! (Although, a roasted marshmallow would be really tasty right about now. But not a smore - I don't particularly care for graham crackers.)
7. I just read a Facebook post by a friend here in town, saying that she had better not wake up to snow in the morning. And all I can say to that is *shreeeeeeiiiiik!!!!*
8. I am contemplating working my way through the Classics that are in our library downstairs. I inherited a rather spectacular library about seven years ago, when a friend left town, and I haven't had the brain power to read most of it, as they require more attention and thought than *ahem* some fluffier novels that I enjoy reading, again and again, and with the last of my children now finally sleeping through night, and now that I have remembered how to sleep through the night, as well, I have a couple of brain cells to spare, again. But I'm not sure where to start. Jane Austin is always a good pick, or the Brontë sisters, or perhaps the longest book in the English language, or... (It really is a spectacular collection, and I am so very grateful to now own it.) OH! I know! With my predilection for funky fantasy reading as of late, I'll jump into Beowulf. That should give me a good dose of weird and fantastic, no?
9. I am unbelievably happy to be home with my pets right now. Even the smell of wet dog in the house isn't quite as annoying as it was before we left last August.
10. My girl, she has some good fashion sense, hmmm? These were the clothes that she picked out, all by herself, to go to a "festible". (A children's festival was in town that day. All three kids were excited to go.) (And no, I just couldn't let her leave the house dressed like that. Party pooper Momma, I am, indeed.) ;D

A list!!! LOVE it!
As for your reading ambitions- have you ever read "Persuasion?". if not, go get it right now and read it! It's my fave J. Austen novel! And I think you'll love it, as we have similar taste, I think.
I am glad you are appreciating your lovely pets. Love them while you have them. I miss my poor Darcy so much still....
Also- not only do I think you should have let the moppet go to the fête dressed like that, I think you should have let her pick out YOUR clothes too! ;-D
I have read "Persuasion" - it was my first Austin novel, and I absolutely love it!! Sadly, I don't have Beowulf in my collection, so I brought up "Watership Down" to read. I haven't started it yet, though. I fell asleep. :/
I shall have to do a post on the pets next. We missed them so much while we were gone. So much. And I know how you feel about Mr. Darcy, Beth. My Clancy-cat, a large, drooly, orange ex-tom (that never quite clued in that he was a former tomcat, lol), has been gone for almost 20 years, now. I still think of him, and miss his unique presence at times.
And as for Margo's outfit, I'll stick with being a party-pooper... for now! ;)
I have to say, I am eagerly, eagerly awaiting the sleeping through the night again. I am really hoping that I will regain some of my brain cells, too, when that happens. It would be so, so lovely.
Amber, sleep is, indeed, lovely. It amazes me that we can function as well as we do with such a deficit of sleep for so long. I wish you much uninterrupted sleep. :)
I happen to think her outfit is PERFECT!! Very colorful! You go girl!
Heh. What doesn't show in the photo, CJ, is the blue skort that was over the pants, under the dress. She was a colourful twirling machine that day! LOL!
