My blog counter had been going haywire again laitly.  I was silly enough to head over to alphainventions and condron.us again the other day, to browse through some blogs while holding my cranky teething baby.  (i don’t normally have time for this, i promise!  LOL).  Well, needless to say, that ended up brining me heaps of visitors here.  Apparently when you are on their site, and you have your site open on your computer, they feed your site through theirs for others to view and thus, providing you traffic.  Interesting and complicated process…so needless to say, my counter shows many hits that I wouldn’t count as real traffic.  I don’t consider myself real traffic to a site that passes through their system.  Only when I click on a site to actually read it’s content do I consider it a hit.  Regardless, i’m feeling mighty popular.  I will venture out and say that a few peoples google searchs have helped them find their way here, according to my dashboard information here behind the scenes.  I have had a few hits for those seeking information on Lemi Shine, Mennonite Girls Can Cook, and Icefishing!  Now we’re feeling it!  LOL.

Super excited this morning to have an hour to myself!  I spent some time with the teacher (a good 10 min.), and then ventured out to do some window shopping and pricing!   I checked out two local shops for their pricing on reasonably lovely furniture for our bedroom.  I was hoping to stick to my budget of $1500 before taxes.  Well, needless to say, I came out of those stores realizing I will have to spend about $2000 plus taxes.  I do hope that I can compromise a bit with the idea of having dh build us a bed frame (platform style) and then I could come up with some headboard to hammer to the wall.    The other portion of my dreaming excursion was at the central vac location.  I’m dreaming of owning a vacuum cleaner powerhead.  we have the central vac system in the house…and it’s been working fairly well for the last 35 years.  The only thing it would need would be a bit of maitnance.  (did I use that word right?  we’re not sure of it’s exact meaning over here)  I’m dreaming for things to happen here this spring!

Did I tell you laitly what ELSE I’ve been wasting my time with these days?  The girls have these toys.  They lye around the house, they beep at me from under who knows where, and I get SO annoyed with them.  This leads me to fixing the problem.  I hunt these toys down….and start playing with them to fix the problem. Did you know that you have to clean up potty messes after the digital pet shop pets?  Did you know that you have to feed them, comb their hair, and play with them?  Well.  When these pets have been neglected for a while, they start singing out of the blue.  They either need to eat, have a brushing, or made a mess.  Once i’ve solved the problem I usually feel the need to do something more fun with them, so i’ll take them up on a game of bowling!    I think I could get addicted.  I think I could quite easily be challenged to keep my score on the top score podium.    I’m not competitive normally.  I just like to challenge my kids to be better, that’s all. 

Well, I better get to my kitchen…Enjoy your friday!  What’s on YOUR agenda?
