Today

*Kurt had eye surgery (ptosis repair, aka the same thing as Adrie) and it is swollen and purple and looks absolutely awful. Poor guy is half asleep all the time when he's not worrying about ice and pills and internal bleeding. Before it started swelling he looked like a different person with two wide open eyes! Really!

*Adrie looks kinda funny with her two front teeth coming in miles apart. Hello, Bucky! My precious baby is becoming somewhat dorky looking.

*While at the hospital thismorning I read an interesting article on kids and technology. It said to teach your kids that their blogs could be internet-archived forever and even years down the road future job interviewers, college application reviewers, and many others could find junk that could sink them. Interesting thought to keep in mind for myself even.

*I learned such COOL stuff in my photoshop class last night and I'm just so excited about all of it and I wish there were a bazillion hours in the day to do everything I want to, like doctoring up fun photos, more scanning stuff and family history, photo restoration (G&G's pics), business and web page building. Any ideas for me on a niche I could find in the market that is actually profitable? I can't stop thinking about it.

*To further Natalie's idea that Kurt and I are obsessed with strange cat photos (really, we're not!) my brother in law Kevin showed me the greatest site called Kitten Wars. Sounds demented, but it's actually so fun and addicting! Go vote for your favorite kitten photo. I'm going to upload the one of Indigo in the cinder block as soon as my real computer gets up and running again. Aaaaargh even now as I went to that website to make sure the link works I had to vote on a few. I love kittens.

*I saw Pirates last night finally. I didn't get half of it. I guess that's what I get when I'm not a repeat-movie-watcher. that's why, sadly, I can't see or read Harry Potter until I either a) read them all again, which isn't likely to happen until I do it with Adrie as a fourth-grader or b) find some great cliff's notes.

*At the hospital thismorning (again) I read another great article on homeschooling. I have NEVER found the idea attractive but this great article really got me thinking. I think the IDEAL situation would be to have my kids in school half a day (high school, at least) where they do math, science, choir, and gain social interaction. After that it would be so fun to explore whatever else interests them and I bet you'd cover a whole lot of topics, and learning would be a fun and exciting thing. Like, if your eight year-old is obsessed with swords, you study everything imagineable related to swords - the metals they're made of, the times in history they were made, what dynasties used them, why they rust, etc. etc. etc. It sounds like a lot of work though, too.

*Okay it's not even nine o'clock and I'm dying for bed. (Cuz I stayed out til 2 am watching Pirates.) Good night everyone!
