Family, Adventures, and Gadgets Collide

It seems as though I've fallen off the blogosphere, again . However, this time the culprit: a virus-infected laptop. But thanks to the generous husband of a dear friend, my computer is back up and running better than new! Can't beat that! So, hopefully I'll get back on the blogging saddle and you'll hear a lot more from me in the near future. In the meantime, here's a mini video of some recent fun times with the family. I created the video using one of my favorite programs, Animoto . (You too can create 30 second videos for FREE ! and it's as easy as pie to use!!!) Oh, and last week while at a technology workshop for school, I learned that you can post on your blog from your cell phone, like this post here . (There are two easy ways to do this; via an email or a text both made directly from your cell phone.) Wish I had learned that sooner! Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.

I admit ... I'm a blog stalker! I enjoy peeking in on others blogs to laugh, cry, and be inspired. Wouldn't you agree that it's fun to live vicariously through others blogs?!!? ... Admit it, you're a blog stalker too! And just in case you need some direction in good blogs to stalk, allow me to lead the way. Need a little something to make you laugh ? Check out this post by One Crafty Mama ! Don't you just LoVe the new definitions! Or how about this Tornado of a story from Controlling My Chaos for a good chuckle! How about a chance to be a winner ? Check out this Fantastic Give Away  at the Thrifty Decor Chick . But you better stay away from Coastal Charm's Cash Giveaway ! ~ Okay, go check it out, but if you win, you have to share! Are you in need of some inspiration ? How about this awesome Zipper Daisy from Crafaholics Anonymous? Um, yeah. I could make that. Well, if I could sew I could make that, um maybe. Still need more inspiration ? Go on over to ...

Strange that I started this blog at this same time last year! I remember reading through a friend's blog and thinking how fun it would be to have my own! Well, maybe it hasn't been quite the journey I dreamed it would be, but I'm going to get back on the blogging saddle, or at least try. :-) As I attempt to get my blog back up and running, one question continues to play like a broken record in my head. What am I going to blog about? ... We have not added a new addition to the family like this dear friend . I don't have any dainty treasures or creative keepsakes to sell. I am not a regularly crafty creator like those posted over at Just-A-Girl's " I can make that party ." (A blog party I discovered during this same time last year.) So, what's a non-domestic, sport fanatic, tech-addicted gal like me going to blog about? I'm just as uncertain as you are my dear reader! Only time will tell.

After months, days, and hours of reading and exploring friends and strangers blogs, I've decided to take the plunge! There are way too many people out there sharing happenings (the good and the bad), so I'm going to play the follower for once and jump on the blog bandwagon. Who knows where this blog may lead!?! One things for sure, at some point my procrastination tendencies are bound to set in and my blog may fall behind. When it does, someone out there in cyberspace send me an email and I'll get it going again. :-) I hope to use this blog to share the adventures of my life and my addiction to technology gadgets. You too should jump on the blog bandwagon if you're not already there!
