What not to do!

Today I learned Not to let a 2 year old paint the bathroom with you.  They just don't seem to have the concept of a little paint yet.  Oh, well it was a nice thought anyways.

Updates on Abby's Quest

I am so amazed with this 16 year old young lady from CA.  She, as you know wants to be the youngest to solo cercumnavigate around the World in 6 months.  Her trip started on 1-23-10 and as of today she is here: 

I'm now scheduled to be at the Horn Tuesday. It is pretty exciting watching how much closer I get each day and with all this wind I should be able to make up for some of the time I lost dealing with my autopilot. Right now all I have up is my little staysail and I'm making 9.5 knots!


Cape Horn is supposed to be a difficult pass, which she should head into tomorrow, so let's keep her in our prayers.  You can check out her site (http://www.abbysunderland.com/) and blog so you can travel around the world with her.

Making a Donation

I must admit that I can be a "Quilty Giver", which is sooooo wrong.  You know when you get those request for a donation in the mail and they send you out labels with it, Ug, I feel so quilty about keeping the labels, that you guessed it, make the donation.  Last year was a successful year for alot of charities out there, due to my quilt.  Now due last year, we are being bombarded with request for donations, so much so that we don't want to answer the phone anymore and the mail is a whole other matter.  Sometimes you even feel badgered into giving.  This is  just not giving from the heart.

So I've decided to really try and comes to terms with the quilt and whittle it down to a small few (2-4) that I feel has a true place in our heart.  This will take some time, but it is now on my Long Term To do list. 

Movie Review

We wanted to send out our recommendations for you to view the new movie out called "BandSlam" .  If you like music, it reminds you a little of Glee, but also reminded me of "Valley Girls" (80's flick w/Nicholas Cage).   It's quirky, and Cool.    Try it out and let me know what you think.

A New Image

So what do you think about the New improved Blog?  I love it, it's so Springey and ME.   Don't forget to scroll to the bottom to check out some cool images.  I hope you like it too.

The ball

As you know there is an ongoing battle of the Ball between Brutus & Bowyn. You'll never guess where I found not his orange ball, but his tennis ball; stuck in the Sub Woofer of the surround system. What a challenge to remove that was.

Stay tuned for their next adventure.

Abby's Blog

Yesterday while checking out a few things in the Blog world, I came across this amazing Blog called "Abby's Blog", she is 16 years old and is amazingly enough traveling around the world in a sailboat. This is her day to day account of her trip so far. This is a short synopsis of her story:

It has been my dream since I was 13 years old and began single-handing, to one day sail solo around the world. I am 16 years old and this blog will contain the story of my attempt to become the world's youngest solo circumnavigate. Visit my official website at www.abbysunderland.com.

All I can say is WOW, amazing.

Wii update

Wow, it's awesome (Red Steel 2). I'm pooped already, but what fun. Think I'll have to use both arms or else I'll have one "Grannie Flapper" and one "Terminator" arm, hmm won't that look silly.

Wii

Guess what the new Sword fighting game came today. I can hardly wait to try it. Sure hope I'll be able to do it. Wish me luck.
