So Ronni sent me an invite to sign up on Kaboodle. I actually did it! I have only added one item so far, but it’s a start. 
EDIT: Okay, so I tried to use their widget code to stick a badge here, and that did not work at all. It generated crazy code. I’ll check it out and try again.
Well the Kaboodle “widget” is crazy, so here’s a link Kaboodle Wish List
A couple of weeks ago, the boys turned 6 months old. Time is really going by quick! They are just getting over a cold which they gave to me, and it had me home in bed for 2 days. Chills, fever, sore throat, the works! But I love them anyway.
They really are the joys of my life. I never would have imagined that I would have 4 kids, let alone 2 sets of twins! But it is soooo much fun. We are already filling our new house with lots of memories. I am so looking forward to Christmas.
As far as milestones, the boys ‘talk’ all the time, especially Kristopher. Jayden is starting to scoot, I see crawling in the near future! YIKES! I know he will have a ton of fun crawling around and exploring everything. I think Kristopher will not be too far behind. He sometimes acts like he wants to just skip crawling and start walking right away.
We had a good Thanksgiving. Lots of family and friends came over to celebrate with us.
I will try to write more often.
Do you need a really special last minute gift for Christmas? Whatchuneed.com specializes in personalized gifts. And I mean they have everything! Please check them out, my girl has 2 adorable children to feed!
So, yes… I do know alot about computers. Yeah, yeah.. nerdy.. whatever.
Anyway, I have quite a bit of knowledge in my head about various things. Over the past 3 weeks or so I’ve had 3 different people ask me for help in setting up a blog, forum, or something similar. So, I decided to make this blog actually useful and start to write up all this stuff that I know. You will see new categories about Wordpress, Integramod, Phpbb, and Gallery. These are all my favorite web tools and things that I use the most on the web. There will be various other tips here and there that I have collected or figured out how to do.
So you’ll notice the first one is nice and simple “Writing your first post in Wordpress”.

I want to send out congrats to one of my favorite people, Bob Cain, who proposed yesterday and got a YES!
Congrats Bob and Madhu!
Wow, this month has had it’s share of bad news. I am still not over the shock of Jen’s young passing. For those that wonder who Jen is and what I am talking about, I may post a bit more details. Basically, she was a wonderful person and mother who lost her life only 3 weeks after giving birth to beautiful twin girls. That should happen to NO ONE. She died because she wanted to be a mother. Wow. That hit really close to home and it is just devastating.
Then this morning, I found out that my aunt’s husband who has been battling cancer for quite a while tried to end his suffering by taking his own life. WOW. He was unsuccessfully and is now in intensive care. She is understandably a wreck.
So, I say again, is November over yet?
RIP Jen. I am so so sorry that your life was cut short too soon, and in such a tragic and unexpected way. RIP
This picture is one that I took myself on June 26, 2005 at a concert here in Chicago. He was soooo good!
I LOVE my gmail. I had an account for about a year before I actually started using it, but now I just love it! And now, it’s gotten even better. I use a Windows smartphone and I just started testing the new mobile client. It’s pretty good. There are a couple of things that they missed, features that I would like, but for the most part, it gets the job done. Visit http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html to read more about it. Or, to get right too it, visit gmail.com/app from your phone to install the client.
