Lying in bed Friday night, I decided that I was taking the week off from blogging. This is winter break here in our little neck of the woods, and it exquisitely wonderful that Rich's college always has winter break matching up with the local school districts. Equally as wonderful is the fact that my birthday always falls during winter break, and it has become somewhat of a tradition for my parents to watch the monkeys for a few days during the week as part of my birthday present. Anyway, I have these somewhat ridiculous ideas about all I can get accomplished during this week (finish up at least 3 books, make at least 10 scrapbook layouts, finish up a lot of lesson plans, etc.)...but figure that I've got a much better shot at reaching these goals if I just make myself stay off the computer. Doesn't look like I'm doing so well, huh? It's not quite as bad as it seems though...it's just that I remembered that I'd already had this draft started for this week's good stuff, so I decided that I ought to just go ahead and post it.
*the return of Jericho (yes, I am slightly obsessed)
*Gray's beautiful Valentine art (though my photographic skills don't do it justice)
*conversation hearts (yes, I know I've said that before, but I just love those little nuggets of flavored sugar)
*and while I'm on the subject of Valentines, there's
Dawn's post on love that I thought was quite beautiful (unfortunately I couldn't post to the exact post, but it's entitled "the greatest contradiction" if you decide to pop on over to read it)
*and while I'm on the subject of posts by fellow bloggers, there's
this one by Jean about working the polls on election day*fairy tales
*Uno winning the Westminster Dog Show...go beagles!
*and while I'm on the subject of beagles, there's this photo of my favorite one along with my favorite guy
*the start of winter break
Can't wait to catch up with everyone next Sunday!

I just LOVE the picture of your dog and husband!!! :)
The Valentine is so incredibly sweet! I was pulling for Uno. He is just the sweetest.
And speaking of sweet - I'd say that applies to both the pooch and the hubby.
Have a great week off!

The photo of Rich and Baker is priceless!! LOL!! They both look like keepers to me.
Enjoy your week away from the computer. When you get back, I hope to be able to greet you with news of earning my brown belt in kendo. I'm testing for it on Thursday night, with three other people whose combined ages total but 7 years more than my very own age. I've also been thinking of a couple other fibery things to blog about sometime soon.
And Happy Birthday! May you get all the candles out and may all your wishes come true. :-)
Debi, I love Gray's artwork. It's very eye-catching!
And I think the pic of your dog & your husband is great too! ;)

Cute pictures!
I'm worried about Carrie! Her blog is page not found.
I hope all is well with her!
I did try emailing too.
My friend and I were recently talking about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of transferring our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets cheaper, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
