Julie's Journal

So who has thoughts and ideas, and rambles all day long on their blog? Well that would be Lisa from My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings. And rambling isn’t a bad thing. She’s got a lot to say! She’s got a 3 year old daughter named Madison and another baby on the way, due to arrive in June. Lisa also sent Michael and I a chip and dip platter set for a wedding present. We love it, and use it at least once a week.

Lisa actually won a trip to see the Rachel Ray show, and she got a RR hat to wear! Oh man I am green with envy. She is one lucky girl! So check out Lisa’s site when you get a chance and don’t forget to look at her About Me meme. You might be surprised at a few of her answers.

The guys and girls over at FuelMyBlog are having a photo contest. The topic of the contest is “View From My Window,” and you can see the other entries here. The prize is a digital camera, so get to entering your photos!

I entered this one:

I was driving back home to Nevada, and a storm was brewing just outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. The clouds were moving, and changing colors so fast, it was almost as if I was looking through a kaleidoscope. This is one of about 100 pictures I stopped along the freeway to take. I would have keep snapping pictures, but the rain, hail, and wind hit like a ton of bricks out of no where.

I was finally able to pick myself up off the floor to share with you a video I saw at Caffeinated Ramblings. My stomach hurts from all the laughing. My throat is raw from the outburst. My neighbors are probably calling the looney bin to come and pick me up at this very moment. Freaking hell, this is the work of a complete genius!

Kim from Lifes Like That is a married, working mom of three. When she’s not busy with her work and family, she likes to blog about life because life’s like that, right? We’re all busy and there is never enough time in the day. Her husband of 13 years doesn’t let her efforts go unnoticed though. Just look how thoughtful he is. I love reading things like that.

She’s struggling with creating a home business idea that would allow her to stay at home with her children, and I wish her great luck with that. It’s a tough transition, but just wonderful in the end.
