Recent Changes

This may be old news to some, but for those of you who don’t know yet, in March 2012 Google will be disconnecting Google Friend Connect (GFC) from all non-Blogger blogs (e.g. WordPress, LiveJournal, Joomla). Here’s a link to the article if you’d like to read it.

Unfortunately, my blog falls into the category of non-Blogger blogs and will be affected by this change. Instead of dealing with the ramifications of this change when it happens, I’ve decided to be proactive to hopefully minimize loss of readership, work out the kinks, and help you during the transition.

Mushrooms

Today, my parents, my sister LeAnn, her boyfriend John, his mom Mary Ann, and my nephew Dustin went to Temple Square. LeAnn hadn’t been there in at least 10 years, probably longer so she wanted to go. She also wanted to take John, Mary Ann, and my nephew Matt there as well. Matt wasn’t up for it so I stayed home with him and my nephew Wyatt. Since I “watched” them at my parents’ all day, she brought me back something cool!

Nintendo Mushroom Candy Dishes

Aren’t they awesome? I absolutely love them! They’re made by Nintendo and they’re candy holders. They came with mushroom-shaped, Sweet-Tarts-style candy. They’re a royal pain to open, but I think they’re awesome. I like putting their “hats” on sideways to make them look like gangsters. Right now, they’re on my desk at work.

Magnetix iCoaster

Marble ClockSince I was a child, I’ve wanted a train or marble set that let me build cool tracks and just watch the train or marble go. (I once had a marble clock and that was the closest thing I ever got to having one.)

On Saturday, Corey showed me the Magnetix iCoaster and I so want one! I told him I wanted it for Christmas since there’s really nothing else I want that’s within our price range. (My preferred gift is a white MacBook; but like I said, within our price range. :lol: ) You can build pre-designed tracks or your own tracks and you can even hook it up to your iPod so the marbles roll/bounce/jump to a beat. How awesome is that! :D
