We love the rain!

My fears of yesterday eve were unfounded. After the fun snowfall (it really was pretty!) the weather warmed up, it rained all night and washed the snow away! It was raining lightly this morning and pretty much cleared up for the rest of the day. We're supposed to get some heavy rain later this week but the weekend is supposed to clear up and be sunny! Perfect time to go scrapbook shopping.

Audrey told me today she found a great scrapbook store in Milwaukee, which is about 30 min from here. Looks like a roadtrip for Saturday!

I'm on call this week so had to get up really early Sat and Sun to run reports. Have to finish them by 8:30 central, which is 6:30 our time. Takes me about 2 hours or so to finish them. You do the math.

I've noticed in the pictures that Stacey posts, she's wearing the hat I knit for Ellie more than Ellie wears it! I guess I'd better knit one for Stacey too! I had a message on Facebook from Stacey's sister, Jill, saying she loves Grace's hat but it's too small for her (Jill). She wants one too. Will do some yarn shopping this weekend too.

One of the nifty gifts I got for Christmas was a FLIP video camera. Cal and I both got one. I've been taking videos of our apartment to share with you guys and I'm going to try to upload them here. Let's see how this works:

This is the first episode .. I have more to post at a later date. :) I also got a camcorder for taking real movies but they will be too large to post here. See? there's a purpose for each one!

The other happy-making thing for me is the Roku box I bought to stream my Netflix Instant movies to my TV! I only have basic cable upstairs and there's not much to watch. I can watch Netflix on my computer, but then I have to sit at my computer table to watch them. NOW I can stream movies to my TV and watch them from my bed! Pure heaven!!

I have to post this now to see if the video will work. Later!
