Cat in Christmas Tree with Santa

See the updated post with some great new ideas. Update 2: We have found out that our cats hate Canned Air.  You know, the stuff you clean your keyboards with.  We are using that on them whenever they get close to the tree and hopefully they’ll learn.  They are much better than in the past […]

Who Sends 5Mb Email Forwards?!

  • 3 Dec, 2004

I just got a forward from my mom and I’m not happy with whoever sent it to her as it’s a 5MB forward! First off that’s got to be horrible on her dial up. And secondly it’s eating up valuable server space. If you get a forward that’s over 1Mb, just trash it. All you […]

A Blog With So Many Features

  • 3 Dec, 2004

Well so far WordPress has been lots of fun. Everything seemed to make it over and there is so much to explore. I’m still working on the interface also. For some reason I can’t get it to be only 80% wide. There is some CSS code somewhere that I haven’t found yet. Once that’s done […]

Goodbye Blogger. Hello WordPress!

  • 2 Dec, 2004

I have decided to move this blog away from blogger and onto my own servers using WordPress as my blogging software.

2004 Hay Bale Snowman

  • 1 Dec, 2004

The 2004 Hay Bale Snowman is up! Christi and I, along with my parents, put it up Thanksgiving weekend. It was bitter cold but that didn’t kill our enthusiasm. Since this picture was taken the mouth has been updated and another string of lights may have been put on in his midsection. If you’d like […]

The Electrical Cost of Christmas Lights

  • 29 Nov, 2004

It’s that time of year when the Christmas lights go up and houses and trees in the neighborhood look festive! However, each year I hear the same question “how much does it cost to have Christmas lights plugged in?” Most people probably think back to Clark Griswold and his extremely lit up house in National […]

Give a little. It doesn’t hurt.

  • 29 Nov, 2004

Well the Thanksgiving weekend is over and we had a great one. Friday we went shopping and boy did we do a lot. We were up at 5am, no thanks to the Target wake-up calls that didn’t work correctly, and we were at BestBuy by 6 or so. I have to say that that was […]
