More snow, home movies and bazooka bubble gum....(God, my life is boring)

I woke up this morning and found the ground outside totally covered with snow. It snowing pretty hard so I called the school number for closings but it said they were on time. I drove the boys out to the road where we catch the bus, thinking that I wasn't going to let them get on it anyway, but I wanted to check the road. It was a mess! You'd have to be nuts to let your child get on a bus in those conditions, especially when it goes up a mountain to pick up more kids. I finally got a cafeteria worker on the phone who told me school was delayed 2 hours. They eventually closed for the day. The boys were happy.

I was piddling the other day and found this program on my computer called Movie Maker. I can upload digital pics, home movies, songs etc, and make this little movie. You can also add text. I started adding pics of my daughter and uploaded a song and it's coming along great. I love creating but I often find myself getting consumed with my current project, weather it's building coops for chickens, doing genealogy research, or making this little movie. I'm even that way when I read a book. I can't put the thing down til I'm done and end up staying up all night just to get to the end. I then get bored with it and can walk away for months.

I had to stop myself on this movie thing since we are trying to sell the house and to find pics of my daughter from birth up to present, requires me crawling around under the crawl space and searching through tons of boxes. I know what will happen, they will all end up out in the basement and the clutter I'm trying to reduce will be worse than before! I'll finish it, or get bored with it and leave it for another time but the mess will still sit here. I think I'll wait until we move to start that project.


I was shopping last week in Kmart and found this box of Bazooka bubble gum. I just had to buy it. I used to chew it as a child and I was so happy to find that the flavor hasn't changed a bit! A few friends and I were having a conversation about "goober" candy the other night and I found this website that sells the candy that you grew up with:

I thought that was pretty neat. I plan on surprising someone with a box of candy from their youth, for their birthday.
