I finally had a chance to scrapbook (digitally!) one of the ultrasound pics. I've been meaning to try to document everything about this pregnancy, but time just escapes me, lol!

Where Were You?
Upon perusing an online scrapbooking store site, I found a link to a site called WereYouThere.com.
Since I'm really interested in scrapbooking and genealogy, I clicked the link and discovered a site where anyone can share their memories. The memories can be related to a specific event, such as the Challenger disaster on January 28, 1986, JFK's assassination, or 9/11. Or, some folks relay memories about their first car or first love. The main idea is that everyone has a memory to share, no matter how small.
For instance, when I read through some of the memories for the Challenger disaster, I recalled that I was a freshman in college. I was in the dining hall, eating breakfast, when I saw the launch being televised on every TV set in the dining hall. So, as I ate my cereal, I watched and listened to the live report, knowing that this particular launch included a civilian teacher. Others in the dining hall felt the same shock when we watched the shuttle launch successfully, then explode just seconds later. I remember looking around at everyone else, wondering if they had just witnessed what I did. I don't think any of us immediately comprehended what had happened. When I finally walked away from the set, knowing I had to get to my first class, I was in a fog.
Anyway, WereYouThere.com has lots of accounts of personal history. It's definitely someplace where you can get lost for hours on end, just reading memories.

Happy July 4th!
Independence Day 2010...I didn't seek out any fireworks tonight, but instead headed to the movies to see Toy Story 3 in 3-D with a group of friends. I did, however, see several local firework displays as I was driving home since we chose to go to a showing that let out right before it got dark.
Toy Story 3 was great! I don't think the 3-D nece
ssarily enhanced the movie much, so if given the choice, it really isn't a big deal to see the regular version. There was a lot of sentimentality, and I think it was even better than the first movie, which has been my favorite so far. If you haven't seen it yet, some of you may shed a tear near the end.It's funny to think about getting all caught up in the perils in the life of a toy, but I guess it's just the way that the animators bring these toys to life, along with a great story. Definitely a must-own for my DVD library!
Hope you had an enjoyable (and safe!) 4th of July!
