at the Sewickley Curb Crawl!!!  Check this out!!  on

MAY 17th

the Mom's Club of Sewickley will be sponsoring a

 CURB CRAWL -

you know, a GIANT neighborhood yard sale!

You can get the details here, and benefits the Child Health Association of Sewickley. 

NOW, the best part, will be my STUFF for sale, and Brenda will be bringing down some stuff, too.  (And we have good stuff.) I'm actually going to offer my motorcycle up for sale this year - unless it sells before the curb crawl.  yes, my harley davidson is available.  anyway, i thought i'd tell you about this with plenty of notice.  i'm sure it will be a great success - sewickley is a great neighborhood!  I thought I'd add a photo from a wedding that we photographed in Sewickey, since all posts deserve a photo!

~ciao for now!

this is awesome!!!

Janel and Alexander stopped to pick up a gorgeous large print today and somehow itsdeductible.com came up.  So, once they were on their way, i signed up.  this is a fantastic program.  i donate a lot of 'stuff' and a little cash, and since it doesn't seem to be very much, i don't keep track of it.  well, i filled it in for this year so far and - WOW -  i'll be keeping track this year!

It's FREE and you don't have to buy anything.  Of course you could keep track yourself, but this little gem will also calculate values for the items you donate.  Check it out!

thanks Janel & Alexander!!
(the funnest couple of 2007)

ciao for now!

did you ever get something stuck in your head and you just can't let it go?  well, if you do chances are, it's on youTube... then you can share it with your friends and they can get it stuck in their head's too! 

do you remember this?

i hope you had a chance to watch the special on abc news with Randy Pausch.  the thing that kept surfacing in my mind - and has ever since i heard about Randy - is that the only real difference between him and the 'rest of us', is that his doctors continue to remind him that his days are numbered.  well, so are everyone else's!  no one lives for ever.  you could get into your car tomorrow and get hit by a train. 

what a wonderful reminder to choose what to do as if today is all you get - because no one is promised a tomorrow.

here's the book.  i bought 2 copies.  one for me and one to share.

and here is the AUDIO book.

if you have an iPod, you can download the audio book, and if you need iTunes get it here!  i already downloaded my copy for my iPod, but i LOVE a book with paper pages.

if you want an ipod, you can get one at the store over there >>>>  all the store's proceeds go to charity (right now it's Pittsburgh Animal Friends.)

and for those of you who are wondering... the tv has made it back into my house.  my sister is hanging out with me, and she wanted tv.  so she put one in her room. it's funny... having no tv for so long, i hardly watch it all. i do enjoy the home improvement shows and dicovery, and i watched this interview, but i still think the entertainment value of tv is the pits.

ciao for now!

i've been following randy pausch for quite some time now, and i've posted a few links and lectures on my blog that you may have checked out yourself.  well, this morning on my way to work, i heard that abc news will be airing a special that you may want to catch...

HERE are the details.

i hope i'm not too late with the info and i hope you can watch!  i'd love to know what you think.

ciao for now...
