It's pretty scary when you get so close to a new piece of technology that you nickname it, but my lappy is getting a workout. I love taking it outside and watching the kids play, but in an effort to make myself more productive, I'm cranking out lists on backpackit...I'm really enjoying it. I used to keep all of my lists in Outlook, but that annoys me because it makes me assign days to things...if I get to nothing on the list, I just feel guilty.

So, that's not good. So, this morning I transferred all of my info to Backpackit and so far I like it. I'm hoping my husband will work with me on the "to do household" list, but we'll see. I seem to have attracted a few of you to the list...not the least of which is Sharon - well, Sharon, we'll see if we both use it, maybe we can check back in a few weeks and see how it's working for both. I'm going to just use the free service for a while, but I've already maxed out the amount of lists I can have.

We also had a babysitting drama yesterday and so that kept me entertained for most of the late afternoon...we've ended up arranging to swap with a friends this afternoon - their kids here for a bit and our kids there for a bit. Everyone will end the day really exhausted, but the arrangement worked out in the end. You have to love that...oh, and the aside was that I got a long list of potential sitters for the future, so that's definitely a positive!



Not sure how many of you are Star Wars fans, but I KNOW most of you are fabric fans and I just had to giggle at this fabric at Hancock Fabrics. So, how many of you are thinking about possibilities for gifts? Starwars.com even had a little tutorial on how to make a pillow (which I thought was very cute!).
