The big 22!

Tomorrow is my birthday & my husband is the sweetest, most loving husband ever! He got home from work at 4:30 this morning and left to go buy me a present.

I told him he didnt have to buy me anything, but he insisted. He's like "I'm not tired now and I'm afraid I will be tomorrow and wont be able to go, so I'm doing it while I can." He's a boilermaker and has been working ten hours shifts seven days a week (but away from home twelve hours because of the drive).

He returned home at about six thirty and let me have one of my gifts early. He bought me a 4gb card for my camera because he knows I'm always running out of room on my 2gb one. & he also knows that I take a lot of photos and that sometimes I have to switch over to jpg from RAW to have room to fit more. So, he solved my problem. SWEETIE PIE!

Then he turned around and was like "Surprise! Happy birthday!" and had me an adorable cake! Cant wait to eat it tomorrow because it looks yummy! I told him our little boy was going to be excited when he seen it because of the design. It has three balloons and he loves balloons. Sure enough, today when he woke up he went to the fridge wanting orange juice. He's like "MAMA! Surprise birthday cake! DADA, LOOK!!"

Just wanted to share my cute story and a few photos. Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow; I know I plan on doing so ;) *ha, ha*

Hidden Photoshop Trick

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/409773/programmers_hidden_photoshop_trick/

If you go to the above link, you'll get to watch a really short video that shows a programmer's hidden trick inside of Photoshop. The man who made this video is using CS2 and says he doesnt know if it works in any other versions... well, I have CS3 & just tried it & Merlin, did indeed, pop up. Interesting and fun; just thought I'd pass it along.

& as a side note ~ my niece is still in the hospital. So please continue to keep her in your prayers/thoughts. Thanks!

What?!! You want to DRINK your turkey and gravy?!

While reading this post on soap-queen.blogspot.com (ever heard of Bramble Berry?), I seen that you can order bottles of Jones soda to your own customization and personalization wants and needs (the label, that is)! How cool is it that you can order pop with whatever photo of yours that you want?! SO COOL, I say!

They have a lot of different flavors (some with pretty colors!) for you to choose from. Yes, they even have a special "Turkey and Gravy" flavor for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, while supplies last. & the directions of how to get your order put through seem easy enough to understand.

If I had the money I would totally put an order through, but I dont so I cant *lol* But that doesnt stop me from sharing my new find with you all! So if you're interested (or just want to peek and check things out), go to myjones.com and have a look around!

Update on my niece!

i called my mom a little bit ago b/c i hadnt heard anything on madi today.
she said that her white blood cells were down in the tests yesterday, but they ran the same test today and they were back up to where they were supposed to be!

so they're running a few more tests and should get the results back later today.
if everything checks out, then they'll probably release her and she'll get to go home! yay!!

thank you all for your thoughts & prayers. please keep her in them though until she feels 100% better :-)
