So I had finally gotten to a point in my creativity that I had the audacity to think that my printer actually would PRINT!! I thought, "I just want to start actually working with my hands on this project, so I'm gonna throw caution to the wind and print my pictures right here at home. After all, that's what the contraption is for, and I've got plenty of photo paper to print on." Well, needless to say, I wasn't holding my mouth properly or my leg wasn't straight up in the air with my big toe wiggling in a counter-clockwise direction. Are you suprised? I am actually. I thought if I had given the dang machine a couple of weeks off it would just automatically fix itself and work the proper way the way that HP manufactured the sucker to do.
So I probably will have to order them online and get them shipped. I don't know if I want to order with Kodak like normal or go through Winkflash which is what my LaLa friend uses all the time and loves. Maybe that's what I should ask for for my birthday. A freakin' printer that works...or maybe just a little photo printer that I could set up right here in my scrap area that was strictly used for photos and nothing else. I mean, I know the printer we have works, I print copies of bills that I have paid at the bank to show DaddyA so he knows how much money is going out. It just refuses to print pictures when I want it to.
Speaking of my birthday. DaddyA asked last night or night before what I wanted. I just looked at him and told him LittleA out so that way he would be home. (If I actually go to my due date or just past my birthday, he's got duty that day so I wouldn't see him at all. :( ) I'm still banking on my thought of a 2/3 birthday for her. I go to the doc tomorrow so maybe she can tell me some news. I am going to ask about inducement simply because it takes 20 mins with no traffic to get to the Navy hospital, and if I go into labor at the wrong time, there will most likely be traffic in the tunnel that I have to go through to get to the hospital. Not to mention if DaddyA is at work and I have to call the ship. See I have the number to his department, except he doesn't actually work in the department that he's a part of so if I called it would take them at least 30 minutes to track him down and another 20-30 to get home to get me and then at least 20 mins to get to the hospital in good traffic. Let's add that shall we" 30+30+20= 1 hour and 20 mins. Now let's go back 4 years and 4 months to Sep 2004. DaddyA was on cruise and I woke at 4 with contractions with PrincessA. I didn't call my ride until 5. She got lost getting to my house 2 times so by the time I got to the hospital it was 6:20. PrincessA was born at 6:54. So I guess, looking at the math I should be fine...but I don't want to try a home birth or even worse a car birth. It's gonna be bad enough that DaddyA has never done this before!
Okay, so I think my ranting about my printer is over now. LOL I guess I'll go work on some cards for the ladies who are hosting my baby shower this weekend.

Welcome to the Blog World Mamma!
Hello there! I finally broke down and convinced myself that I need my own blog after following about 10 for the past few months of last year. I'm still not sure what I will use this as: family life, creative life, wishful life, or an eclectic assortment of all three and more.
I do want to use this to help me keep up with my Project 365. What is that? You may ask. Well I am a scrapbooker, papercrafter and this is a project that Becky Higgins of the scrapbook world put together for a Kit of the Month over at Creating Keepsakes. Basically the concept is to take a picture every day of 2009 and put it into one album. I, along with a long-time friend, decided NOT to spend the 40 bucks to get the kit but to make it ourselves from our stashes of paper. For the past 2 days we have been measuring and cutting and cutting and corner rounding, and did I mention cutting paper? I still need to go to Mike's to get the album I am going to put it into and the page protectors. Most likely will do that today since I have a gift card from my In-Laws that is just burning a hole in my scrap table where it has sat since Christmas day.
I have taken my 2 pictures over the past two days, but haven't uploaded them to the computer from my camera. So I'll just say that on January first my PrincessA asked me to make pancakes for breakfast. She helped me put all the ingredients into the bowl and stir it up. I made the pancakes on the griddle and when I put them on the plate she would butter them with the stick I gave her. Then yesterday evening, PrincessA, DaddyA, and myself, MammaA, played a game that PrincessA got from Grandma for Christmas, and I put the camera on a timer at the end of the table to get a shot of it. I'm hoping that we can play games more often this year as a family, but I think that was a goal of last year too, that we didn't do so well on.
Thanks for dropping in. Hope you got something out of it, even if it was just a wonder about who I am. I do hope that this will be a place you and I can figure that question out at.
