I am so upset and frustrated with my blog right now. I was really happy with my blog other than I really wanted a different layout so I was trying to find one and did but when it went together, I lost all of my page elements. I am so mad. I even backed up a copy but the elements didn't save. I'll be working on it tonight but until then, it's going to have to stay the way it is. I've got to get some sleep and deal with it with a clear mind....

Does anyone have tips about how to add the really cool layouts that everyone seems to have and where do we get the layouts?

Meet my latest SIM : Jennie Parson

This is my most recent SIM character: Jennie Parson. She has been an interesting sim. I haven't got her any pets or any real love interests except she did make woo-hoo with her male maid, Remington. I've been really trying to get her skill levels maxed out before starting her career and friends, love life, etc. She's a really good cook and loves to play the piano and violin. She's not a fan of her telescope so I'm hoping she will like chest so we can bring up her logic points. She really likes to go fishing in the pond in the back yard and then cook the fish. She can make "Bass with Squash" or " Blackened catfish". I will post more on her later....

DWTS: The First Couples to go are...

Penn Jillette and Monica Seles!


I had a feeling that these two would be the first after their first performance last week. I personally wish that Penn would have lasted at least one more week and thought that Adam Corolla should have gone home first. I can't stand that guy! Anyways, next week is the tango and the jive. I LOVE the jive! Here's the two couples that I think will be in the finale!

Kristi & Mark

and Mario & Karina

Exciting News! SIMS 3 will be out in 2009!!!

Many of you know how addicted I am to the SIMS computer games. So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that SIMS 3 will be out in 2009!!! It's supposed to be more realistic and have a realistic neighborhood that holds no boundaries for the sims. I'm also glad that the SIMS will be able to look more real because frankly all my current sims are skinny and look too similar. I'll be posting more later....

Easter Photos

Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We had a very peaceful day that consisted of sleeping, hiding easter eggs in the house and having Rylan find them. Then we went over to Uncle Johnny's "Tio's house" and had a wonderful dinner. Rylan got lots of goodies and had a great time. By the time we got back home, he was so exhausted. He wanted milk and wanted to go to bed. Here's some photos we took today.

How about a Recipe Exchange?

I was thinking that its been awhile since we did a recipe exchange. I will look at my cookbook and see what ideas I can come up with but what do you think about an exchange? It can be any kind of dish.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter Everyone! I will post a little early this week due to Easter. I am excited to see how this Easter will be… I got some plastic eggs for Rylan to find and we will hide them around the house. I can imagine that he’s going to go crazy about the eggs. I filled the plastic eggs and his easter basket with his baby fruit snacks and cereal bars. I’m fairly strict about what he eats. I want to make sure that he stays as healthy as possible.

I don’t have a movie of the week this week but I would like to discuss “Dancing with the Stars”. Not sure how many of you caught the first weeks shows but I was pretty impressed. I think my favorites are: Mario, Marissa Jaret Winokur (I’m kinda bummed that this is the girl from the Broadway show Hairspray and not the movie) and Kristi Yamaguchi. I’d love to hear who you all like and what you think will happen with the show.

Major Achievement of the week:

Rylan attempted to say “I Love you!”. It kinda sounded more like “I lov ew.” He also points at you and smiles when he’s trying to say he loves you.

Well, I sure hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter! Have a good day!
