New BK Commercial?!

So I was listening to Air1 this morning and the dj's were talking about the new Burger King commercial aimed at kids with the purpose of selling kids' meals. They were talking about how improper it is, especially for children so of course I had to go and watch it. And then I was a little outraged and thought about posting it here, and blogging a little steam off, so thanks for reading. BK is just out of hand, with people waking up with the creepy King in their beds, and now this "kids" commmercial. I mean, come ON! I know that talking about it is just giving them more press, but still. This is a reason Charly doesn't watch TV that has commercials on it. I'm not going to post the video on here, but I will link you so you can choose to watch it yourself. If you wanted to email BK, I'm sure that would not be inappropriate. I think it's important that they hear from parents whose kids may see this. Here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjo8uEngP8s

And family, don't worry, I'll post a family update soon. Just know that all is well, Charly had a fun and busy Spring Break last week, and we're all gearing up for May!

Is Everybody Ready?

I'm not! But I've decided it's time to have a blog anyway. A couple days ago I was invited to join my first-ever creative team. I can't tell you who yet, but I'll be creating for a designer at Digital Candy. Yay! I'm really excited about this, actually having a purpose for scrapping other than saving memories :) And that's what I'm usually doing this time of night (morning?), scrapping. Alas, I was up tonight creating a header for this blog, and then messing around with it until the size was just right to fit up there. And in a couple years when you notice the header hasn't changed, this is why. It was such a pain!! Gosh, I hope someday I figure out the magic trick to making that work.

Anyways, it was Mommy's Day, and we went to Chuck E Cheese. It was a great way to get the kids tired (Charly and Gabriel) and to talk with a grown-up. That's always fun! And I also got the chance to take a bunch more indoor pics with the new camera. That's been taking some time to figure out too, but I so hope that it's going to be worth it!

I'm starting to get the feeling that I shouldn't be doing this at 2:30 in the a.m., my thoughts are a little disjointed. But I wanted to go ahead and get this first entry out of the way. There's a lot more still to do with this blog, like add a slide of my layouts, but for now this will do. I hope in a couple days I still like my header! (It was created with a heart stitch thingy made by Fei Fei's Stuff, and the papers were made by Summer Driggs - I love her kits!)
