a little of everything

so, i have lots to say and i am going to say it. primarily because i discovered through browsing blogs the other day that YES! you can print your blogs and have them bound in a book. now let me tell you why this is cool: it is like a journal with pictures. plus, it doesn't seem that expensive. hence, i have decided to make this like a journal, which means there will be a lot more writing and pictures. once i have maxed out my space, i will print the beauty and continue. here is the website: http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook.

next item of business: sunday at my mom's was grand. my little brother steven is moving back to utah (bye bye steven!!) tomorrow. we will miss him. he would hold clara all the time so i will miss having my cute little brother saying, "let me hold her". i guess that just means that now i have to go visit him and rachel in utah!

after dinner, clint decided we should have a "jowling" session.

for those of you that don't know what this is, well, it is HILARIOUS. clint also refers to it as "shake face". these are not pretty pictures and you

have to be very secure to let someone take a picture like this of you but it makes for a fun photo session. in fact, this could possibly be the ugliest picture i

have EVER seen of myself. i look much like a horse, which i find very funny. here are jowels of me, jason, clint,

angela and james. i'm pretty sure clint's was the best, although jason made the best noise.

you shake your head side to side as fast as you can with your face completely relaxed and have someone snap a
picture for a jowle... or is it jowel? who knows... maybe that is why clint started calling it shake face.

i also am thinking about buying a new lap top. i don't want to spend the money until we sell our home in utah, but i really need one. my current lap top has been around since my college days... i believe just a bit after i met jason, so summer of '02. it has been through a lot and the connection between the power cord and the computer is bad so every two seconds the battery starts flashing on and off and the screen goes light, then dark, light then dark, and i'm pretty sure i might throw it down and break it one of these days. my question for all of you is mac or pc. years ago, i believe it was pc hands down, but i think macs are improving. clint is also buying a computer and i think he has been swayed toward a mac. i just laugh because this is such an emotional topic for people and as i told jason on the way home from my mom's, if you were choosing between a honda and toyota, no one would care! but a mac or a pc and a good number of people i know get all worked up. so, please, share your advice because i have always been a pc fan, but i'm not a mac-hater like my sweet husband. so the vote is on: pc or mac & why.
