Free Scrapbook Software November 29, 2007

I am trying a new free scrapbook software downloaded from the internet (Scrapbook Flair). It is very simple and doesn’t have many features but enough to just make a simple scrapbook.
Here is my first result:

 

Switch arrangements and extra rest at home November 29, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 2:21 pm

This morning I woke up with the headache again. I know, I know, that was because I have been staying up late. When Sam wasn’t home, I tend to stay up late.
Not sure why.

River will go with the Alexanders today in the morning. Marissa suggested that we change our schedule. Usually I drop them off and Marissa pick them up…today we will switch it. So, let’s see how it goes.
River has been acting up when she picked him up. He tried to avoid her and made the teachers did extra work to catch him…;)
Oh well…. just a phase of him being a big bow, I guess..with whining and challenging.

Either way is fine with me. By River going with them in the morning, I have a chance to rest again or take my time to run errands, etc.
It works great for me.
If I drop the boys, I have to be home at 2:00 PM anyway…so this new arrangements is much to my benefit…yippie.

Sam went home late…about 1:00 AM. He took a late flight from San Jose. Poor him.
I didn’t really realize when he came home as I already snoozed on my bed. He is still sleeping now….

Well, get to start my day here…and I wish you all a good day.

And oh ya… today is my schedule to volunteer at the Stampede Stallion…gosh.

 

My Favorite India Movie – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai November 28, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 2:05 pm

I usually don’t really care about India movies, but this one particularly really made me cry and fun at the same time.
I remember back then in Indonesia (2000) I bought this movie and watched it over and over…then my mom started to like it..and watched it over and over…and still watch it over and over…;)

Shahrukh Khan did really good…and he is so sexy too..;)

Dance Anyone?

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 2:49 am

Today I will try to open a new blog using WordPress.  I am a bit dissapointed with Blogspot as I cannot changed the blogskin from other people free blogskin templates.  It always came up with…not well built, etc.

I just like changing skins…..

Oh well… I thought I will give WP a try.

 

Foggy Day November 27, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 1:20 pm

Woke up this morning and I looked out..wow, heavy fog. I couldn’t even see our neighbor house. But the show must go on… I prepared my two rascals..breakfast and dropped Jonah to the shuttle bus.
People were driving slow and cautious, that was so good.
The neighborhood is just so nice.

River had to come with us as Sam was in a business trip to San Jose again. He stayed in the car when I put Jonah on the bus.

Then we drove home…. still foggy but not as thick as before.

Here some pictures from our bathroom window.

True Friends November 25, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 3:04 pm

At the end of the day, you know who really your friends are. Yes, amen to that. I have been having friends come and go, but true friends last long.

There are friends (well, at least people I know) that just want to take advantage of me in any ways, or I take advantage of them, either way. Those friends don’t last long.
Either they go away or me avoid them.

I have my true friends… and I thank God for that.
I don’t want to mention names…. because I know they know.

Having friends are wonderful….and I miss them.

Just a thought for this rainy day (again..;)

Enjoy….



 

My Wish List so far….(read: 2) November 24, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 9:18 pm

Today is a rainy day. Brrr…not much to do, just like yesterday. I spend my day by browsing things for my Birthday and Christmas wish lists.
Hmmm..

Sam convinced me to get the iPod Touch… well, at first I was a bit skeptical about that because I do have an iPod 20GB. And mostly the iPod just sitting in the speaker docking system at home.
I have been reluctant to take my iPod with me in the car because it is not easy to listen to the iPod in the car..even with the iPod travel.
So, my iPod is just sitting there….

But Sam said that the iPod touch has a big screen, I can play movie, music, video, youtube, etc…and I can browse internet on it too…. anywhere that have internet connection/wifi.
Wow… that make all things different… I am interested…so, with Sam’s support, I put it on my wish list…hehhehehe…

Hmm…another thing that is on my wish list is: Agatha Christie Poirot Classic collection DVDs.
I love watching Poirot and I always like Agatha Christie’s novels, since I was in elementary school back in Indonesia.
David Suchet played Poirot and he did excellent, funny and smart.

So… so far..only two for now… still browsing…. ;)

Count your blessings..Happy Thanksgiving November 22, 2007

Filed under: Uncategorized — annedowns @ 9:18 pm

Bila topan k’ras melanda hidupmu,
bila putus asa dan letih lesu,
berkat Tuhan satu satu hitunglah,
kau niscaya kagum oleh kasihNya.

KOOR:
Berkat Tuhan, mari hitunglah,
kau ‘kan kagum oleh kasihNya
Berkat Tuhan mari hitunglah,
kau niscaya kagum oleh kasihNya.

I used to sing this song during the offering session at my church in Indonesia. I like the refrain section that always remind me to count my blessings. It is so true that God has blessed me in so many ways with so many things, uncountable. I am just so amazed.

Count the blessings everyday, my friend… you will be amazed of what God has given you…

Happy Thanksgiving…. God bless you All…
