oh so glad you received your suitcases...i had been worried something would happen to them. I feel much better now.
tickled you got to enjoy coffee and brownies...i seem to remember your struggling a couple of years ago working out that brownie recipe...
i've enjoyed knitting some socks for our pregnancy center today...in mint...i get to give them to my friend tomorrow at sunday school...she enjoys volunteering and working with the women there.
bet you had fun with the students...i miss having students in our home...colleggirl is staying in tuscaloosa throughout the summer, so it won't be normal around here...we're still praying up a part-time job for her until August
it's been above 90* here today...hot, hot, hot
it's not even June yet
ugh...

Isn't it great to have a Kindle! Finally we can read books with a touch of a button (and a credit card...). I love it!
Your brownies sound so good and the coffee....mmmmm I can almost smell it. :)

Have a great weekend!

I blame the epic comment fail on this awful internet at my hotel in Verona. Sorry for spamming your comments :(

2012-05-18T16:46:54.420-03:00

It won't let you do html code in a blog post unless you wrap it in code tags. That would look like this < code > code you want to display < / code > ; but you have to remove the spaces (I put them there so this comment would render).

But anyways, that is probably not the best way to send links to a new tab. When you link something up in your blog post does it give you the option of setting a target on that specific link? Normally when you add a link it will have something like "Title", "Url", and "Target"... You can set the target there to _blank and it will do the desired action without modifying the head tag.

I don't recommend modifying the head tag because now EVERY link on your page opens in a new tab. If that is the intended behavior I guess it is fine but I have never seen someone do that in my 15+ years working on websites.

Also, my mom is becoming a geek!

Gah, it dropped the closing code tag that looks like this < / code > again remove the spaces.

done! great info, thanks!

I got used to the slow life in Zambia - but it sure didn't take long to get back into our Type A ways here in the US when I got back!

What a cool tool! I'll have to see if I can do it tonight (my work computer has weird blocks so it's hard to do HTML stuff on it).

2012-05-15T22:40:14.034-03:00

I'm impressed! I can't even find the "head" part in my HTML.

Can't wait to see pictures! And I wish you lived closer so you could my girls could be your quilting students!

2012-05-15T20:41:23.321-03:00

What a bummer that you had to start over with that piping, but I'm sure the new color will look great!
You'll have to show pictures when you're done.

That is such a cool idea to store cans! Too bad there's no where in my kitchen to use it :( BUT - maybe I can convert the idea to shoes? Hmm...

I saw that marriage video yesterday - incredible!
I'm going to have to check out that blog, I love their idea for storing cans.
Sounds like you are busy, busy, busy. Glad to catch up with you.

2012-04-30T06:06:49.988-03:00

I hope (and am assuming) that you have more space on your lot at the new home to keep all the septic system separate from the house. I read the other day that people in China get along on under ten gallons of water per person per day, while Americans use about 150. I would suppose the system in your house is sufficient for only half that much. I feel for you, but I also know you can remedy that in your new house, and that it is a wonderful blessing to have had this happen in a rental rather than in your own house. I wish you the best!

We had septic issues a couple of springs ago, and it was not pretty. Not pretty at all.

I like how you use industry-accepted plumbing terms like "connecter-thingy."

Oh my stars...that would have sent me over the edge! You are amazing in your ability to meet the unexpected challenges!

YOU ROCK!

omgoodness...you go thru so much...so sorry to hear you had to get so worn out before your group arrived.
i'm very thankful no one fell thru the floor while on the toilet though.
God was watching out...

2012-04-27T17:33:40.518-03:00

Oh man - I feel your pain. We had that happen with the washing machine in the basement, and it was a huge disaster. Water made it into the finished family room, and of course all the stuff we had in the storage room. I'm glad it's fixed and you could still have your party!

Your life is just one household (or auto) adventure after the other - whew! But at least you had fabulous cakes to eat in the end :)

2012-04-21T08:26:51.633-03:00

From what you say, it sounds like you are progressing very well. Are the walls made of reinforced concrete? Sounds like modular building. I trust the men will give the house a good growth spurt. Have a wonderful and productive time.
