Snippets Of The Past

Found a journal today that I had written in only twice. I am much better about blogging!

Here is the entry from 02 February 1996

I started a diet today. (160lbs) This weekend has been so wonderful! The weather has been perfect so yesterday hubby and I took the babies outside to play. They explored all over. Boy twin likes to have a hickory nut in each hand - he doesn't put them down until it's time to go inside. Girl twin brought me leaves, grass, pine needles and whatever else she could find. Today we took them for their first trip to the park. Boy twin only liked playing on the grass. He cried on the sand and on the slide. Girl twin loved it! She especially liked watching the other kids play. I've been suffering from insomnia lately. I haven't been able to figure out why. Bedtime struggles have paid off! The babies go to bed at 8:00 pm. We read them 1 or 2 stories and then a prayer, shut off the light and turn on the music box. They lay down & fall asleep - no fuss, no fight. It's fantastic!

Interesting.

Is There Such A Thing As A New Year Gift?

I want this. A book made from my 2008 blog posts. The big problem is that the software to import all my posts, does not support Blogger. So, I will have to do ALL of the work manually. There is a way (or two) around this - but they are nearly as time consuming as the first option. Don't worry - I have already started my 2009 book, so I will just put them into the book as I post them and then on December 31st 2009, I can just click "order" and have my beautiful journal in 7-10 days. So, if some kind soul wants to take pity on me and put my book together for me, I would be more than happy to give a big fat hug. I would also say a mighty, "Thank you!" if you felt like gifting me with a gift certificate to purchase the book. Seeing as how I have 244 posts in 2008 and 20 in 2007 that I will include, I am thinking the book will be a wee bit pricey.
