A Dream Come...True?

Image
Whew! This past month has been hectic and wonderful. Here in a few weeks my babies are all going to be starting school. I can't believe my eldest is starting kindergarten! Time flies far too fast. So, the last night I had a fantastic dream in which I was at a masquerade ball. It's always been a personal dream of mine to go to a ball and dance the night away. Anyway, I was standing at the top of stairs (like so many teen dramas) sparkling as some mystery hand takes the shawl that is covering my beautiful dress up. The spotlight turns on to me and I shield my eyes from the sudden shock of the bright light. As my eyes adjust I look down and all eyes are on me and my fabulous costume. I spot my date across the room and give a small smile and wave, when suddenly the Star Wars Throne Room song plays. Wha?! I think to myself this can't be right and as I look down trying to figure out why this strange music would be playing for my dream entrance to a ball; when I realize t...

Happy 4 years and my point is... elephants are cute too!

By *pronouncedyou I never knew elephants can be  so cute. I don't like animals that are larger than me, So I'll never go near an elephant. However, when I saw an elephant in the drama that I was watching last night, I just couldn't help thinking how adorable it was when it came to the rescue of it's owner. The cuties part EVER is when the elephant was walking and nibbling on a huge leaf ( don't know what kind of leaf it was but it was huge o-o ..). ~toppichu Hey everyone!

So please even if you only have time to help for a chapter or two please contact me and help~ ;___; TRANSLATORS - J->E and K->E wanted! We have quite a few current projects that could benefit from having a second translator on it and we've got more than enough upcoming/future projects that need some translator lovin'!

The other day I was reading this neat little story about a man who had his computer stolen from him *not the neat part*, but he had put an app on it that allowed him to access his camera from other devices. He used this to take photos of the man who had taken his laptop and helped to lead the police to the thief. After reading this story most people would feel a sense of congratulations toward the young man for being prepared. Or they might even go out and buy this app so that they too can be prepared. Is this how I react? Do you know me at all??? Of course the more reasonable thing would have been to feel happiness for the guy and maybe get the app as well. But me, what do I do - I find painter's tape and cover the camera on every device that has an internet connection + camera. My Computer - check. Hubby's Computer - check. My IPhone - check. Hubby's IPhone - check. IPad - check. And just for good measure: Kinect - check. Who does this?! Only the purely...
