what do you want to sparkle?

When we greet each other, like "Lynn!" There are options like sparkle text, marquee (which blinks, it's actually very annoying, but in a cool way.)

I think there's one that has ants walking past the letters? Like going to a picnic or something? Funny!

It is sort of like that, only it's an option that allows you to turn the text (or any part of the text) in your Word doc to sparkle or blink or whatever. I used to use it a bit for happy birthday type emails to my friends. I think one of the options was called Confetti, and had different-colored 'confetti' pixels jumping around the letters, it was cute.

So Sam, we went to Mount Vernon today to see the tulip fields. We went last year for the first time with the boys, and DS2 (who I think had just turned two at the time) went NUTS, running through the rows of tulips (which you aren't allowed to do!) Of course we had no choice but to charge through there after him.

Then we'd be walking by a row, and he'd kick or whack his hand across a flower head, and it would fly off!

This year I was determined to keep a tight grip on the little monkey, but of course I'm the family photographer, so I turned him over to DH's care. Next thing I know, DS2 is running off, and I look at DH like "WTH?!" And he says, "What? Did I do something wrong?"

Fortunately this time he stayed on the main paths. DH walked along after him while I took photos (and DS6 stayed with me to take an occasional photo.) Then DS2 came running up as fast as he could, chattering about "cows! Mama, cows!" Sure enough there was a mama cow and a couple calves, I think. I guess he went charging right up to the fence and stopped to look, and the mama cow came toward him. He freaked, and squeezed under and behind Daddy's legs. Wish I'd seen that, I bet it was hilarious!

DH told him it was all right, it was just a moo cow coming to say hi. He stuck his head out and looked up: "Moo cow?" DH said, "Yes, you know what a cow is. Cows say 'moo'."

DS2 looked up at the mama cow and lectured her sternly in her own language, "Moo, cow!" DH said the cow again stepped forward toward DS2, and he took off running away and toward me.

HAH!!! No, I got the kids some clothes....I applied for a loan to boost our credit scoresupposedly if you have one for 6 months and pay it off it will help. We got approved for $5000. but now we have to wait til morning to get everthing straightened out. grrrrr.. I just want it now!!!
My baby sure is being a turd right now!!!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

What's baby doing?

You're right, having a good payment history does boost your credit score, but carrying a lot of debt lowers it, as does every credit check.

omg i am sooooooooo angry i could spit nails right now....im so fed up with my daughter and her lazy "do what I want to do irregardless of what anybody else tells me" butt....if she goes to the store for me she has to go across town and pick up her friends...cant go somewhere on her own but we got into it last week because I told her I didnt want her taking my car and going and picking up her friends without asking me first...because right now I am so broke and I dont have the extra money for her to be riding around in my car wasting gas so I sent her to the store and what happens? she went and picked up her friend without telling me AGAIN....now im put in a position where I have to either not let her use the car at all or expect she is still going to go against what I say...the only real issue is for the fact that she watches my goddaughter and gets paid to do so which helps me a little bit with finances...she doesnt get paid alot but anything helps and she goes and picks her up from school...without the car she wont be able to pick her up and that may mean that my god daughters mom may have to figure out another way for her to get here or else figure out other means of watching Lexie...I dont want to be the reason for all this upset with other people but Im sick of my daughter...you have no idea...Im crying so bad right now I cant barely see this screen....I dont know what to do
