I think it is a good idea, portion control and all. They look cute, all meatloaf-y w/ mash potato 'icing'. A piece of sundried tomato would look cute on top. Meatloaf Bakery Best recipe I have found so far is on the little paper fold out label on the big jar of chopped sun dried tomatoes from Costco.

At this moment I am one of about 300 people logged in to a online seminar called a webinar. Jeremy Schoemaker (Shoemoney) is answering questions about how he makes money online. He has a blog that is visited by about 40,000 individuals each day. It is a pretty universal topic. Even Martians want to know how to make money online. Jeremey has made a ton of it. A big help to him is that he is a self taught programmer. Lots of the stuff he talks about is edgy. At this point he has made enuf that he can do experiements. His two posts that have drawn the most traffic are the one where he talks about loosing something like 200 lbs. & shows photos (he got some stomach surgery) and the other one is where he is holding a check from Google for + $132,000 dollars. That photo has been passed around and even used illegally and he has had to get lawyers. He is a very open and chatty guy.

I have looked at a zillion sofas this morning. I was also cleaning up a web page that i made a while back that had links to a lot of Italian leather sofas and knock-offs of Euro style sofas. It was amazing how many dead links there were. I don't know if it that they closed shop[ of late or if it was just a flash-in-the-pan idea that never really worked out. But a lot of the online modern furniture shops were gone and in their place were pop-ups for garbage. Yuk ! Anyway, the web page is all cleaned up and a lot of images of leather sofas added now. http://www.scrapbookscrapbook.com/DAC-ART/leather-sofas.html

Lundy is trying to decide if she should order a lime green (like the green on small sofa in photo) or a sky blue sofa...oh wait, this is not Facebook, I can type in first person... I have located a semi-circle sectional sofa that comes in leather in good colors. I called LAFurniture (Not Lower Alabama, but the other LA) and asked about getting swatches. They came today. I got 3. Each one is aprox. 1/2 in. x 1/2 in. ...no kidding. Much smaller than a postage stamp. Smurf size. But I can see the colors OK. The blue is about like the blue on the sofa here minus the deeper blue on the loose pillows. The green like the green on the little sofa. Of the 3 they sent me 2 are great. This makes it hard to decide. One is the exact shade of the lighter blue in the tile floor and the other is a wonderful rich deep lime green. The blue would be very serene and matchy-matchy. The lime would really pop, but is that a good thing ? I mean it would REALLY pop, and a semi-circle sofa is gonna be attent...

Between Facebook, emails, multiple email accounts, and all the rest...I just can't keep up w/ Twitter, and LinkedIn, Alibaba, Hi5, and the rest...and besides, catch this interesting bit of news: Matthew and Michelle Reed, along with their 2-year-old son and newborn baby boy, are the first of what could be a stream of people to move to Dothan under a program that offers Jewish families as much as $50,000 to relocate and get involved with the city's only synagogue, Temple Emanu-El. A family that's been part of the reform congregation for decades funded the $1 million resettlement program and launched it last year, fearing the congregation would dwindle and die without an infusion of new blood. With one new family already in the fold, and hundreds of others expressing interest, the goal is to bring as many as 19 more Jewish families to this mostly Christian town of 58,000 in rural southeast Alabama over the next five years.

Yesterday afternoon was fun. I skipped the morning parade in Gulf Shores but went to the Orange Beach parade. I was at Silver Beach Condos to take photos of the snowbirds and the party given by Picard Rentals for their website. Once back here, I edited 90 photos last night !! But now they are ready to add to their site today. Picard had a cook-out in the parking lot, fun and games before the parade started. Today is suppose to go up to 70 degrees---yeah !! My friends at Picard Rentals climb up on the balcony over the elevator lobby and throw fancy beads and surprises during their snowbird (old folks from the north who rent during winter) party and before the parade comes by. Down here Mardi Gras is a family event and the local churches all have floats. Everybody but the Baptists that is. The guy by the orange float is my very good friend Mark Berson who is pres. of the Chamber here. The float had a big shrimp in the front but i didn't get a good photo of it.

I didn't see the Gulf Shores parade but I did see the Orange beach parade up close. I took a lot of photos. I didn't want to ride on the Chamber float this year...you have to be there at something terrible like 7 a.m. and it was 37 degrees at 7 a.m. This afternoon it was nice and warm, total sunshine. Perfect day for a parade. I took a bunch of photos of the Snowbird parking lot party for Picard Rentals.

Today is Fat Tuesday...school is out and parades are all day, even a boat parade later on today. It is gonna be 60 degrees and sunny. I am wearing long-johns under my jeans. TTFN

One of these days I think I will try to hire this guy to get my life organized: Create a Perfect World w/ Cool and Innovative Ideas

Well, Valentines Day is your chance to make amends to all the people who send you Xmas cards every year and you don't send cards to and also to contact all the old friends that you wish you had time to keep up with. Heather and I have made these great Valentines for you to print for free....we put them all on PrintPicnic . See www.PrintPicnic.com free printable Valentines. Grab a pair of scissor s an some double stick tape and you can make them 3-D. Speaking of 3-D, did you hve your 3-D glasses for Superbowl Ads ? Also for that insipid so-called-comedy "Chuck" that was broadcast in 3-D the next night ? I am all about 3-D, I love it, but pleeeeese , give me Masterpiece Theater" or 'My Name is Earl" in 3-D , not that stupid show "Chuck". I think ALL tv should be in 3-D. Well, new topic, now my 'ring' finger on my right hand is becoming a 'trigger finger' ...holy cow. I sure can't afford surgery on another finger. Why am I ge...

This clever 2 Gig flash drive from www.wishingfish.com looks like a severed USP cord. Cute.

We got back the inspection report on Momma and Daddy's house...you would not want to live there. According to the inspection report, this moldy, termite damaged, leaky, shack is about to collapse. Well, maybe not collapse right away, but certainly over time. Boo hoo....we will have to see what happens. The buyers have asked for a contract extension to recover from their shock. This is a hopeful thing...if they wanted to walk away , they could. I am hopeful that they will submit an amended contract, asking for a fix-it-up allowance...maybe their son-in-law is Norm Abrams. Who knows. I just realized that I have these very dark hinges on all the doors in the new house and that is a mistake. They look like holes in the wall from across the room. Oh well...I suppose I will white-wash them eventually. I have been over there white-washing ceiling panels today. There are TONS to so. I get them done 10 at a time and then I have to take a break. We still have a leak under the first floor bat...

Pretty sunny, but way chilly day here. I need to design a contemporary bed frame that my carpenter or Dave can build out of ordinary wood. I want a sloped headboard for coffee and reading in bed. For TV watching too. But upright for reading like newspapers. I have just never understood why people would want a vertical headboard. Anyway, I figure that I can make a wood frame one and use a staple gun and some batting and vinyl or upholstery fabric and do a quickie cover-up over wood frame. I need legs on it too to set mattress/box springs (maybe as that is not really necessary but I already have a normal king set) on. I could do legs that show or legs that get covered w/ box pleat or mini-pleat bedskirt. I kinda like the look of the crushed pleat fabric on bedskirts...Fortneroy (sp?) style. I also like Hula grass skirt raffia, but I guess that is for another bedroom ! I also like up in air exposed legs but bed is heavy and it takes some serious legs. Maybe bro. Stephen can weld some cr...

Today was sunny and chilly. Momma and I spent most of the day at Dr office, errands, getting prescriptions, buying her a deciduous holly to plant here at Village of G'town, etc...she has yard man lined up to come tomorrow and secretly dig out the Village planted smoke tree that she hates and plant the holly we bought at Dan West's. She and I also loaded (I loaded) the loose bricks at the old home driveway edge to be used to widen the narrow driveway here at the Village. Momma's faithful yardman, Man, will do the digging. I will do the supervising. I am sick of getting out of my wide car into a squishy flowerbed every time I come to see her. They scrimped on pavement. We will fix it. Much easier to say "I'm sorry" to the admin. for unauthorized landscaping than to get permission. Turns out she has some pneumonia in her left lung. She has a 1 week round of antimicrobial. Doc didnt want to start her on anything else, like maybe Wellbutrin for depression right no...

They have cold winters up here ! So far, not so bad, but it is suppose to get r-e-a-l-l-y cold later this week. Luckily I brought ear muffs and gloves and my $10 Walgreens fluffy muffler/scarf. Today Momma and I went to W-M and several stops, plus app't at PT for first visit. It was mostly an evaluation but she sent Mom home with a page of 6 exercises that I am just about sure that momma will do at most once or twice at most if left to her own devices. She is suppose to go back for several twice a week sessions at Campbell Clinic's (big Mempho ortho group) PT dept. A super tall beautiful blonde girl with a nice Southern double name did the strength evaluation on Mom. When asked if she ever fell or had balance issues, Mom was all smiles as she reported, Why no, she is just fine, maybe a little weak, but otherwise fine. On the side, I was doing hand motions of person collapsing on the horizontal. That adorable Geary Irwin took us to lunch at the Mexican rest. in the OakHall shop ...

Momma is not doing so well. She had a minor wreck on Friday and I talked to her Fri night and she sounded fine. Turns out that she got up to go to bathroom that night and never got off the potty. The security guy at The Village found her on the floor late Sat. She was bleding from hitting her elbow. (There is a pull cord right by the potty in Momma's bathroom but she didn't use it. ) They called Cary in K'ville who in turn called Lisa who is skiing in CO, so Cary got Daddy's sister and her husband to go see about her and they took Momma to hospital. When Cary called hospital Sat morning she found out that Mom was back home, she had called a cab at 4 a.m. to take her home !!!! Now she is too weak to do much. We don't know why. But, i remembered the shots that she got in her back vertebra a week or two ago and wondered if there might be a connection. Stephen drove up Sunday and fixed her food and did stuff for her. He went back to be at work on Monday and Cary along w...

to blogging about useful and cool things. Meanwhile, I am overwhelmed with stuff to do. We got the Cert. of Occupancy on the house before the end of 2008 which was our goal. But there is tons-tons-tons left to do. Some of it can wait, but some of it, must be done now. One of those now things is the Cuban ceiling effect in the main bedroom. The ceiling is 20+ feet tall. We have scaffolding set up in there now, on top of the fabo tile floor and it is so tall, I am scared to climb up to the top. I want that ceiling primed, painted and outfitted with little strips of wood before I move in. The room is so big and so concrete that the echo is unreal. I am not kidding....you cant even stand in there and talk face to face with anyone. The wood ceiling effect should help. Also, I realized that the house basically has no closets. Ted often overlooks closets when drawing plans, He just says to get some armories. So I looked on ebay and low and behold, the same folks that I bought the fancy sid...
