I absolutely did NOT want to get on the Wii, in fact, it took [...]

Silence Can Be Sexy

Posted by Lori | July 30, 2008 .

My man asked me to take a ride with him on the four wheeler this evening. We didn’t talk the entire time. I held him, our hands touched, we kissed, and then we stopped for a bit and I got a picture of this beautiful sunset. No need for words with us. We can look [...]

Curiosity Could Have Killed the Cat

Posted by Lori | July 30, 2008 .

This video was sent to me this morning and I found it both amusing and disturbing at the same time. Yes, what the husband did was super funny and was well deserved.

Posted by Lori | July 29, 2008 .

After checking out the Diva’s tutorial on color highlighting, I thought I would recreate the tutorial using Adobe Photoshop instead of Gimp since this is what I have. Basically it’s the same thing but we have different readers so I thought I’d do it for my readers.

Rising Cost Question

Posted by Lori | July 27, 2008 .

Has anyone seen there life insurance rates rise? I figure with everything else rising that that would rise too. I sure wish things would get better. I this rate, we’ll need a million dollar policy to make sure everything is covered!

Energy Efficient and Brighter!

Posted by Lori | July 27, 2008 .

My husband’s shop is in the barn but the lighting has been terrible. He doesn’t complain at all because this isn’t our house and it would do no good. It was really nice when my father-in-law all of the sudden made a call to his handy man and asked him to come out and put [...]
