New Eyes

I can see again! It really is amazing how much better I can read the computer screen with my new reading glasses. Guess you really never know how bad it is until you fix it. I went cheap on the frames this time, but I kinda like them.

Ditzy Blonde? I Think Not!

Well, not on the outside anyway. :)  Yup, I did it.  I bit the bullet and went auburn.  I've been pondering it for a few months now, working up the courage to change hair that has been essentially the same color for the last 32 years.  But I love it!  It was time for a change and this just did the trick.  (Sorry Mom! )

Non-Blogger

So I was wrong about blogging more while I was recovering from my surgery...percocet's and blogging don't go together. Percocet's and reading don't go together. Pretty much sleeping is all that goes good with percocets. But I'm happy to say that I'm almost feeling back to normal and the worst of it is over.

The week before I was off work for my recovery I had put in a bid on a Ford F-150 that was up for auction at work. I low-balled it thinking there was no way I'd get it for a decent price. Well lo and behold, I won the auction! It was very dirty, very stinky and needed every type of maintenance done to it that you can think of. It was a reclaimed theft salvage vehicle and the plates expired in 2005...that should give a good indication of the shape it was in!

Jason spent the week changing oil, flushing the radiator, changing the fuel pump, etc while I spent the week cleaning out the inside, pressure washing the bed and cleaning out the junk that was left in it. It still needs new tires and some running boards and a few miscellaneous small fixes, but it's about done. So I now have a pretty 2000 Ford F-150 Lariat! Well, I might. I'm going to drive it for a few weeks before I decide if I want to keep it or my Ford Escape. But just look at this baby! How do I turn this down!?

This Blogging Thing...

So I finally decided it was time to enter the lovely world of blogging. I love reading friends blogs, and even some techy blogs, so why not?

A little about me to start things off. I'm currently 31 years old and live in Kentucky with my husband, Jason, and my daughter, Portia. We have 3 dogs (Hardy, Blue & Lois Lane), one cat (Big Worm) and one rabbit (Oreo, aka: Bunn). I used to have pet rats up until a couple of months ago. Great little pets, but it was time for a rat break after 12 years and too much heartache.

I work for a local insurance company as a web developer/web focus admin/programmer. I also have my own business in web development. I named my company after my dog, Blue. :) In my spare time I love to try out new crafts and hobbies and improve on others, namely scrapbooking, glass etching, rubber stamping and photography.

One of the big reasons I wanted to start blogging is to capture our soon to come camping expeditions. We recently purchased a travel trailer so we can go camping with our family, friends and furry critters.

Much more blogging and photography to come!
