Today I won a 3g iPhone from Leo Laporte watching twitlive.tv
So I am super excited I am going to be ebaying my old 2g iPhone and then donating the money to St. Jude Childrens Hospital. I'll be posting a soon as I get it. Still doesn't even seem real!
Liz got me a Yak 55 3D Foamie as a combo birthday/Father's day gift. I took my time building it, working around Liz and Margaret's schedule. I completed the build last week, and took it out for the maiden flight. Last weekend was no good at all. I squeezed in 3 flights over 2 days, and only managed to keep the plane in the air for 5 seconds (less than 2 seconds per flight). It seemed like I had absolutely not control over it. When I bench tested it, all of the controls responded as I'd expect, so I know it wasn't a mechanical failure. The third crash broke the motor mount, and craced the foam in several places, which meant I'd have to spend 20 or 30 minutes repairing it before I could fly it again. Honestly, I was so bummed over it, I just let it sit for a week without even touching it. All I could think is that I'd spent the time to fix it, and then undo it all again in another short flight.
Last night was the first night for Margaret to sleep in any bed other than the one she was born in. We went to Andy and Connie's to eat, pop fireworks, and spend the night. Liz was a little concerned over what Margaret would do in the car, and during the night, but she did great. We had a great time visiting every one, and there was plenty of good food to eat. It was nice to see Daniel and Julie (haven't seen Daniel in months) and talk to them again before Natalie is born. We can't wait to see her.
We will be headed to Gladewater to stay with Will's aunt and uncle. Will be Margaret's first time to spend the night any where but home. Also her longest car ride ever. Still not getting her on the interstate ;)
Really hope we don't live to regret this night....
We used to be skinny, we really need to start working out some how. I think I would fast if I were not nursing and it didn't effect someone else. I keep getting told the pounds will just start falling off if I keep nursing but not very much has happen. I want results now.
I've been using friendfeed for just over a day now, and I'm already liking it a lot. The primary purpose is to aggregate the things you do on the web into a single place. It has build-in support for 41 different web applications, including flickr, youtube, digg, delicious, and twitter. Since it's all based on publicly available feeds, you do not have to trust them with usernames and passwords. You just tell friendfeed which services you use, and your username on each service, and you get one up-to-date page tracking what you do on each of the configured sites. In addition to the built-in services, you can provide it with custom feeds from anywhere on the web. Combine that with yahoo pipes, and there's probably not a thing you could do on the web that you couldn't feed into your friendfeed page.
Until recently, Margaret did not like laying on the floor. As a matter of fact, setting her down on the floor, in her swing, or in her bouncy chair used to be an almost guaranteed way of making her upset. We dropped it from our list of "things to try when Margaret is upset."
Margaret has been great this weekend. She got pretty tired on Saturday since we had company and she missed her main nap of the day. But she ended up sleeping through the night last night.
I went out with some girl friends on Saturday night. Afterwards the girls ended up and one house and the guys at another. So of course we had the kiddos. Margaret was so plesent hardly made a peep other than her happy sounds.
Anyways our nights seem to really be getting better. Hopefully it will last awhile before we hit teething.
