shag!

I've been playing around on blogger and noticed that there is a "stats" tab. It allows you to see how many people have visited your blog in the last day/week/month/year. It also shows you what search words people have put into search engines that directed them to your blog.

I just have to say that the fact that someone searched "shag the were squirrel" and was directed to my blog made my day. :)

And if you haven't heard that book on tape, it is a MUST. My family used to listen to it when I was little whenever we went on a camping trip. Classic!!

*UPDATE* I have now scoured the internet for the wonderful book on tape about Farmer Johnson's lead hunting dog that got bit by SHAG the weresquirrel and then became a weressquirrel himself and started to hoard cabbages, because they were the perfect shape, round, like nuts and to NO availe! It's as though the book never existed before! So depressing!!!

**UPDATE** My mom still has our book on tape! The name of the books is "The Curse of the Squirrel" a stepping stones book by Laurence Yep

WILMM: salt

Why I love my man reason #18

A week ago today my sweet boyfriend stopped off at the grocery store to buy me some salt. Actually he stopped off at SIX grocery stores to buy me salt. I had a presentation at school on the salinity of ocean water (the reason why it's salty) and I wanted to do an experiement that involved dissolving salt in water. Normal salt makes the water cloudy, so I needed pickling salt. My sweet boyfriend offered to stop at the store and look for me on his way home. I had no idea he would go to six different stores to look for me!

He couldn't find it. Apparently pickling salt isn't a bigger seller in southern California. Who would have thought?

He bought me sea salt, with no added iodine and it worked perfectly. His willingness to take initiative and ask me if I would like him to stop at the store, and his perserverance that went above and beyond touched my heart.


And my presentation?

I got the first perfect score of the class. :)

changes

Well, I signed in to write a little bit because I felt like writing and found out that my layout had been destroyed. I am bit out of sorts having my background changed...I suppose someone who's home has been robbed would have a similar (but much stronger) feeling.

I'm not completly happy with this new look but I am hoping that the wonderful blog I got my last template from is just under maintence and will be back soon.

Well...it is now 2:30 in the morning. So I suppose instead of actually writing I'll head off to bed. :( Here's to hoping my blog doesn't do anything crazy while I'm away!
