"Thing #7"

I already love google. I love google maps and I have used them extensively! My 9 year old loves to sit at the computer and search google maps for historical buildings. I had heard about Google Earth, but thought that was what I was looking at with the maps. It is so much cooler! I can't wait to get my 9 year old on the computer so he can look again at all those historical places with google earth. I will never get him off the computer.

I already use Picasa for my budding photography hobby. I had yet to create an album and so I did so with "Thing #7". My Aunt in Louisiana is going to love me! She has already been getting onto me for not sending her updated pics. They're comin', Grand Diane!!! They're comin'!! If you can't wait to see them, you can check my album out here.

I checked out the Google notebook and well, to be quite honest, it looks like a lot of work. I already have too much on my plate and I just can't imagine remembering to keep up with that one. I will check back with it at a later date, but for now, I am glad to know it is just....there.

"Thing 6"

This is getting easier!! I had so much fun using the Big Huge Labs website and looking at all they can do with my pictures. I loved the Warholizer so much that I created one of my youngest son and ordered it so I can frame it.


I also liked the Mosaic Maker. I used it to create a mosaic of the 2008 National Champion LSU Tigers...my alma mater!!! I created a mosaic of various pics of our family in LSU attire and from an LSU football game. I am going to print it out for my husband's office. He bleeds purple & gold. Geaux Tigers!!!!

This is getting cool!! Notice it is 12:45 and I am still working!!! Moving on to #7

"Thing 5"

As you can see it is almost 12:30 a.m. and I am still online working on my 23 Things. Thing 5 is about Flickr and boy, have I grasped a hold of this one!! Not only have I found Flickr, but I have joined Flidkr, uploaded photos, added a personal icon, and am now part of a group of amateur photographers who share my camera, a Nikon D40 I just got last week. Uhhh...yep..I will be up for a while. Thank goodness it's summer and I don't have to get up early!

"Thing 4"

"Thing 4" - I think I have registered, but I have to admit. I am a little confused as to what "blog" I am supposed to be posting to. Do I make my own personal post on my blog OR do I post on the "Thing" pages of our Library2Play website?!?!?!? I am confused.

"Thing 3" It's getting better!

Thing 3 - Ok, I have to admit. This is the cool stuff. I can actually create something that I have never done before. I mean...I do read blogs. Of course I didn't actually realize that Perez Hilton and TMZ were blogs. I just thought I was being nosey. The only problem I see with this whole "blog" commitment is that I never do anything half a$$ (can I say that?). If I am going to do something and be responsible for it, I am going to find a way to make it bigger and better. Look out for music in the background, little furry cartoons floating through the page, updated pics of me and the kids, and a weird cult-like obsession to blogger. com......... Oh, the humanity!

"Thing 1 & Thing 2" and no, not the Dr. Seuss "Thing" we know and love...

Ok..Ok...I get it. I need to post for Thing 2 in order to receive my credit for doing this. Ummm...uhhhh...ok...Thing 1..what should I say. I read. I understood. I followed directions. It was kinda boring, but thank goodness it was quick. My attention span has shrunk as I have gotten older. Plus my three little boys keep running in and out of the room. They don't quite understand Mommy is "working" when I am sitting at the computer in jammies.


Thing 2 - pretty interesting. Enjoyed the whole link to Covey training that I had ages ago. Good points. Just that I am a card carrying Procrastinator... I will never get a chance to follow through with my goal...that of course....what if I actually wrote it down....listed the items I would need to carry out my goal....named people who could help me succeed in reaching my goal...then....signed it as if it was a legal document!! That would be awesome!!!! hey....didn't I just hear that somewhere???
I am just ready to move on to the good stuff!! Yeee haw!!!

Oh.. the easiest step for me is #7 the whole teach/mentor others thing (I'm kinda bossy anyway)
The most challenging would be #4 "Have confidence in yourself....yadda yadda yadda" (still working on that one)
