Liz just put this together tonight .. Ella just learned how to spin :) She’s just so darn cute I had to share

Okay .. so I’ve heard about Twitter for awhile now .. but today I decided to take a look at it .. and see what its all about. Turns out .. its just a really simple way to let your friends know what you’ve upto. All you do is answer one question “What are you doing?” and Twitter stores your updates. Then you can use one of their widgets (yes they have one for blogger) .. and easily share your updates with all your friends and readers.

Anyways .. I’m kinda liking it at the moment .. just to give updates on what I’ve been upto without writing a whole blog .. so you can see my updates in my sidebar on the right.

If any of you join twitter .. make sure you let me know so I can figure out the friend stuff :)

Okay .. Keri and I were talking the other day and realized we both hate the same AT&T commercial at the moment .. the one where everybody is talking about what they’d do with the $300 rebate AT&T gives for subscribing to all their features .. anyways .. the answers are stuff like concert tickets and indulgement items .. but the one woman with a baby says grocery shopping! I mean really, if you dont have enough for grocery shopping, why do you have all the AT&T services anyways!! Ugh .. and then they end the commercial with a couple who want to take Salsa lessons, and their little dance is just terribly annoying I just can’t stand it!

After that conversation, I realized there are a couple other commercials that are annoying me right now, so I’d just like to get my complaints off my chest ..

Mazda Zoom Zoom – with the whole choir .. the editing is soo bad the video of them clapping is usually not in sync with the beat .. and its especially noticble at the end when you can see the whole car and most of the choir.

Chevy Malibu – a car you cant ignore – you know .. the one with the bank robbers jumping in a car and the police dont see them .. and the girl who’s running and runs right into a car .. but then eventually gets up and runs into it again … ugh .. drives me nuts .. who thinks up that crap

Anyways .. what’s on TV that annoys you??

Notes from the Underbelly .. Nov. 26th .. ABC .. set your DVRs :)

Yesterday I got new glasses … wait .. go back 1 day .. Sunday night I was enjoying a nice bubble bath, relaxing my sore muscles from pulling weeds Saturday and rinsing off the beach from my photoshoot on Sunday, Sean was watching TV in bed and the puppies were free to roam the room. Soon after I started my soak, I heard a dog chewing something. I kept asking over and over again “What is he eating” and not getting any response from Sean I figured it was nothing major .. probably just a cardboard box or something. Then I hear a snap .. and what sounds like puppy teeth on glass .. and all of a sudden I realize that my glasses were on the bedside table. I ask Sean to check on my glasses .. and sure enough .. Big Boy had gotten his paws on them, and the frames were bent and broken beyond repair :(

So yesterday I went to Lens Crafters and picked out a pair I think I can live with. I have a big issue with buying glasses. I’m allergic to nickel .. so that pretty much knocks out everything but titanium and plastic .. and I hate plastic. The titanium section is pretty small .. but that helps a little with the decision process. Anyways I think I made my decision in like 15 min. which is really impressive .. and they were ready for me to pick them up a few hours later (after I spent some quality time with Corgan, watching him swing) :) . Now I just have to get used to them .. yesterday they gave me a headache within 10 min of wearing them .. today I’ve had them on most of the day and so far .. no headache.

.. might just be Monday night. How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, Heroes and Journeyman .. I actually enjoy them all .. and I DVR Chuck for watching later on in the week .. just wanted to let you all know .. if you’re not watching Big Bang Theory .. check it out .. it makes me giggle .. alot :)

I have like 3 posts swimming around in my head .. but yet I dont feel like typing them .. so I’m going to do a survey thing I stole from Roy on myspace and see if that motivates me :) (oh and tag you all!)

Now that Halloween is over .. I’m totally ready to start decorating for Christmas. I know .. its early .. but we’ll be hosting Christmas in our new house for the first time (maybe the only time) .. so I’m really looking forward to it. Oh and putting up lights on our new gutters (for some reason I’m obsessed with gutter clips) :)
