It was like Christmas morning on Saturday as my kids looked out the window in excitement as it began to snow. Without hesitation they happily cheered and ask if they can go play outside. “Finally!”, they say, as they get ready to have fun playing in the snow.
Snow balls fly through the air as kids play in the snow. Laughing echoes in the fields as they go sledding down the hill. The kids are having fun while dad is shoveling snow off the driveway.

Inspiration is always good to come by now and again. For me, I like to find inspiration on the web. As a person of visual learning and understanding, I enjoy inspiration dealing with web design. It’s always reassuring to me to find well organized, visual appealing, interesting to look at websites.
In my search for inspiration I came across Six Revisions that list useful information for web developers and designers. I enjoyed looking at some vibrantly colored websites from their Design Showcase section, 30 Strikingly Vibrant Web Designs for Inspiration. It’s nice to see what’s out there and pick up some inspiration along the way.

The world of visual communication is all around us. On the streets, inside and outside stores and buildings, on television, on the web, on reading materials, and where ever you look. It’s everywhere! It’s a part of life and I like it.
Visual communication is a way of demonstrating ideas that can eventually help to achieve goals. It’s a way of expressing creative and technical techniques to help us better understand ourselves and each other. It’s all about developing the appropriate look and feel that responds to the decision of communicating a development of visual styles, influences, and trends.

The four day Thanksgiving weekend is over with Monday now back in full force. No more lounging around in pj’s watching TV. It’s back to Monday and the daily routine of life responsibilities, such as work and school. The festivities of Thanksgiving are now just a part of our memories as we begin the week attending to our normal duties at hand.

It’s time to dust off the winter coats, polish the winter boats, stitch loose seams to the winter gloves, iron the winter scarfs, and fluff up the winter hats cause winter is officially here. The wind blew in snow clouds over parts of Minnesota as snow flakes began to dance around in the gloomy skies last Saturday afternoon. The eager children awaiting this day with anticipation finally got their wish to play outside with the dancing snow flakes.
This wintery day only brought a thin layer of snow to cover the ground, but with smiles on their faces, the children bundled up and went to greet the snow flakes as they danced to the ground. Laughter filled the sky, welcoming the arrival of the fluffy white flakes, as the children ran and played in the snow. The sun begins to cozy up with the earth now, as the children with rosy cheeks are rounded up from their snow-filled day of fun, to warm up with some hot coco while snow flakes still dance in their heads.

Sorry if I have been missing in action folks. I have been suoer sick from what seems like the stomach bug or flu bug from hell. I have had high fever and vomiting and the runs. I am slowly recovering and just hoping that I can get back to normal soon. Please don’t be mad if I haven’t updated so much but I am trying to get as much rest as I can.
I haven’t been this sick in a long time and I hope this is the last time I get this sick.
So how is everyones holiday plans? I hope I am better by the time turkey time comes.

Minnesota has had some mild temperatures so far in November, which I have enjoyed. That is starting to change now as the temperature is starting to get colder. Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees now with no signs of snow, or even rain. This kind of winter is not normal for Minnesota. It’s not unusual to be freezing by now and go trick-o-treating in the snow.
The winter has only brought us a few mornings of frost, which is very unusual this time of year. I’m not complaining, just think it is odd to have spring-like weather instead of winter. That will be changing though, so I hear. Tomorrow is supposed to bring us a high of 18 degrees or so, instead of a high of 40-50 degrees that we’ve been having. I guess it’s time to officially put away the shorts and t-shirts and get out the winter clothes.

I have been so quiet because I am sick. I hate being sick. I want to be babied and do nothing but sleep. I can’t think straight when I am consumed with fever and chills and this cough that wont go away. I am lucky that I can stay home but I just wish that the construction that is being done on my street was just a little bit quiet.
I am soo bothered by any noise or anyone talking. I know my moodiness comes from being sick. Why oh why cant there be any medicine that makes people well the next following day?

The girl I am seeing is wanting to go see breaking Dawn when it comes out. I am debating wether I should endure the movie or have her go with her friends and we can go watch another movie. What is it about sappy romance movies that makes us uncomfortable?
I love action movies and movies that have my attention all the time. I am not sure if I want to be dealing with all the teen fans that i am sure are going to be lined up at midnight to see the movie. i think I can compromise and go see the movie with her just not on opening night. It’s crazy the things I am willing to do for my girl.

I felt a little sad hearing that heavy D had passed away yesterday. I grew up listening to his music and he was one of those people who you never think would die so soon. Death is such a touchy subject with me. Some part of me doesn’t like to deal with family members dying or having to say goodbye to those family members.
I hated going to the wake and to the church when my grandmother passed away. I didn’t want my last memory of her to be of her in a coffin. I stayed far back in the church and I tried to hold my tears in as much as I could. I wanted to be strong for the family but really I was just as heart broken as they were. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t remember my grandmother and her strong belief in me. She always told me I could be whoever I wanted to be and that is just what I am doing now.
