It started with a teddy bear. A new British teacher at a school in the Sudan thought it would be fun for her class to name a teddy bear and journal about its adventures through out the year. Its not a new teaching method and its one that has helped kids get in to creative [...]

I’m not a big Johnny Depp fan. Until his turn as Captain Jack in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies if there was a choice between watching a Depp movie or cleaning house, I’d almost always choose the house cleaning. Edward Sicissor Hands, Benny and Joon, Cry Baby, Fear and Loathing, you couldn’t get me [...]

Get the Thursday Thirteen code here! The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners [...]
Last night was the CNN/Youtube Republican Debate, and to be honest, I didn’t watch any of it. I find political debates boring and besides, Shrek the Halls and How the Grinch Stole Christmas were on last night as well, so it goes to figure that the TV’s in our house were tuned in to those [...]
So I’ve been looking for the perfect gift to give some people and I think I’ve found it. With the gift of Personalized Flash Drives I can give my brothers something they can use and I can load one for my parents with ALL the photos from the disney trip. Heck, I could even toss [...]
Ubuntu 7.10 is a great distro the only problem is it needs setting up with java, flash, codecs and lots of other little things, I know its not hard setting up Ubuntu as you can use tools like Automatix, Envy and other programs that makes the process automatic but wouldn’t it be nice if it [...]
There’s been a lot of hubbub on the intarwebs lately about the latest round of Google Spanking going on over blogs doing paid links and paid reviews. While I happen to disagree with Google on their deranking of almost every blog involved in paid posting or paid links, its their system and they can do [...]
This weeks ASMW post comes from the cool weekly email I get from Amie Street. I had heard a version of Somewhere over the Rainbow done on the ukulele a while ago and I liked that version. Todays choice comes not from the artist who did that one, but another version. Jake Shimabukuro has been [...]
Jessie is at it again. This time, claiming that the Democratic Candidates are ignoring the african american population, well, everyone except for Edwards that is. Which is kind of surprising when you think about it, he came out and endorsed Obama several months ago (of course that was before Jackson called Obama white). I kind [...]
In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been around much this past week. The family (and by family, I mean WHOLE family, all 15 of us) went to Walt Disney World for Thanksgiving. We were down there from last Tuesday until last night (rolled in the house about 2am). I would have posted daily updates, [...]
Saturday was a long day. We were up early and struck off back to the Animal Kingdom so we could see Finding Nemo the Musical and ride the Safari ride. We got to the park and booked it back to Africa and the line for the Safari (which was less than a 5 minute wait, [...]
Today was no different. Even after staying up and closing the park last night, Grace was up by 8 am. We made breakfast (I cooked up some eggs and toast) and got ready to head to Epcot today. We had a lunch scheduled today at 11:30 with some of the Princesses at a Castle in [...]
Morning came early on Thanksgiving day. Bolstered by the fact that we were at Disney, the girls (all three of them) were up by 8 and ready to go. We had breakfast at the cabin and got ready. Grace was in her Ariel costume (since we were going to the Magic Kingdom) and the rest [...]
Thirteen facts about Thanksgiving and Turkeys!!In no particular order… The date of the First Thanksgiving is not precisely known though it occured between September 21 and November 9, 1621. The Plymouth Pilgrims dined with the Wampanoag Indians for the First Thanksgiving. The First Thanksgiving lasted for three days. (Good thing today’s celebrations don’t last that [...]
Wednesday started off early. I was out of bed before 8 and on my way from the Animal Kingdom Lodge to the Fort Wilderness Campground Outpost to check in and get our tickets for the day so we could be off and rolling. It wasn’t tricky getting there. Most of the roads at Disney make [...]
The rhythm and blend of melodic lyrics make the choice for this weeks ASMW an easy one. Ford Turrell‘s easy style and good blending of everything musical makes for a fun, soulful listen on this track and the rest of the songs on his album. Enjoy the music and have a good Turkey Week. Amie [...]
Surprisingly we were out the door by 7:10am. Granted, we didn’t leave kennesaw for another hour due to dropping my car off at the body shop, but we made good time leaving the house for once. With the Xterra dropped off at CrashMasters,everyone piled in to the van (I say everyone, but really, there was [...]
He’s old. While he’s not the first to admit it, dad isn’t the spry young thing he used to be. He takes longer making it down the trail head to the campsite these days. It takes a little longer to get him to help move larger objects around the house (though he still manages to [...]
So I was able to get the police report today. Which in itself is amazing as the accident was on Friday and I was told three to five working days. Must have been slow for the Acworth Police until this morning (check the news…). Anyways, I’ve contacted the insurance company for the other driver and [...]
There has been talk on some of the boards lately about the best ways to promote your blog both on line and off line. Out side of the obvious (making comments on other blogs, posting links on forums and traffic scams like Blogrush) there are some non-obvious ones. If you work for a company that [...]

We have little ones in the house. Grace is four, Emma is 1.5. While we love the little ones we have to be very careful with what we leave laying around. No sicsors where little hands can get them, no knives on the table and certainly no lit candles on any surface less than four [...]
Things are looking better every day for Mike Huckabee. According to a New Poll on cnn, Mike is moving in to second place in Iowa. This could be a very good thing for the Governor from Arkansas as a strong finish in Iowa would help boost him in other early primary states. Huckabee draws support [...]
We put in a hot tub last January (07) when we built the massive thing we call a deck (really its its own city). One of the things we made sure was that the cover for the hot tub was a heavy duty one that could withstand a dog or person standing on it. Something [...]
The first words out of my mouth were @^%#&!@#! %#*$&#^@ #%@&@&#. You can imagine how I felt. Five years in to owning the X and all it had on it was a dent where my brother in law’s elbow landed (why he was skateboarding in the garage is beyond me) and a small patch of [...]
