Contest

So I had a contest up a week ago and then took it down (5 days later) because no one had responded to it, and I have since heard from several people that they were "researching" for the answers.

Hopefully this will be a little easier, with it being multiple choice... The prize will be a handmade hotpad/washcloth inches(note: the brownies are not included, but the size of the hotpad is approximately 6x8).

1st Blog Anniversary!

WOW! Can you believe it has already been a year? Actually I can, since life just gets busier and busier.

Let's hope this next year provides ample blogging stories...

Tagged

I've been tagged by my friend, Becky, so here we go...

Here's how it works:
A ~ Each person has to list 6 facts/habits about them
B ~ After part A go to 6 people's blogs and leave a comment letting them know to read your blog and that they have been tagged. List at the end of your posting who you have tagged.

1. I have been to several countries and hope one day to live in Europe.
2. I am an only child.
3. The heightened sense of smell that comes with being pregnant has never went away (I've had it for over 3 years and Joe hates it).
4. I am a convert (6 years) to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
5. I love working with viruses and researching them (just as long as they don't infect me).
6. So most of you will probably think I'm crazy, but I don't swallow pills and never have. I've always been told that it is psychological because when I was a small child I choked on a piece of food and turned blue. Who knows, but I get along just fine...

I tag Joellen, Jamie, Stephanie, Misty, Gigi, and Crystal.

Need your response

I'm having some difficulty with the background of my blog not showing up on certain computers and web browsers.

When I view my blog at work on my mac using firefox, IE, or Safari, or my linux using firefox or konqueror, I see the background being white with small pink flowers (what I want). However when I am at home and using a pc with windows (ugh), I see a pale yellow background, whether using firefox or IE. This is also the computer that I made the blog template on, so I don't understand it.

So, this is where all my readers come in. Can you comment on what background you see and what computer platform and web browser you are using?

Thanks so much!

Blog under construction

hopefully to be finished by the weekend...

Pizza making men and a mess...

We enjoy eating and making pizza, especially since the bread maker mixes the dough. I (Heather) usually preps all the ingredients, while Joe and Jase get the dough ready. This time when I brought the toppings from the kitchen to the dining room table, this is what I found (note that this is only part of the mess - Jase managed to get the flour everywhere this time (even between his toes) and he had already had his bath...





The yummy pizza's we had this time were BBQ chicken with pineapple and onions, and a kid-friendly 1/2 cheese, 1/2 pepperoni pizza.

What is your favorite pizza to have?
