Happy birthday Mom!

This post was transferred on January 3, 2010. It was originally posted on May 30, 2009.
And now about me:

I took Cayla over to Karen Slawson's to help her pack, and I'll be picking her up shortly. We're going to have lunch (bring Mom lunch) and take Mom to a movie (Night at the Museum 2). Then we'll take Mom home and she should have time for a nap before Suzanna and Donna take her out to supper.

I've spent about the last 3 hours looking up information on how to write a freelance contract, and writing a freelance contract for a site I'm working on for a nonprofit organization. They are having a meeting Monday, so I want to have the contract ready for them. So far I have listed what they provide (text, photos, video) and what I provide (designing the site). They also need to decide if the look of the current site, which I designed for class, is okay or do they want it to look different. I need to know that before I proceed.

And I'm tired. I could take a nap now, but it's nearly time to pick Cayla up. A nap can wait until after the movie. I have the day off (yay!) so I've got plenty of time.

Back to Mom: Her birthday is the traditional day for Memorial Day - we just celebrate the holiday on the last Monday of the month. Her dad told her that all the flags and parade and whatnot was for her birthday. She was mad when she found out the truth. Grandpa Burrell was quite the kidder. ;-)

Back to me: I imported my Blogger blog here, so all my past posts are available.

Aunt Nancy's Green Cake

  My family calls this Aunt Nancy's Green Cake (it came from my Aunt Nancy, but I don't know where she got it). 1 yellow or white cake mix (for 13-by-9-inch pan) five eggs 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup water 1 box instant pistachio pudding I mix the wet ingredients first, then add the cake mix and pudding mix. You'll need to use a mixer because the pudding makes it harder to stir. We use a bundt pan (well greased) and bake slightly longer than the instructions on the box. (I just checked the cake mix in my pantry - it says 33-36 minutes at 350F for bundt pan, so I would go 40 minutes and test for doneness.) We don't usually frost it. Maybe sprinkle powdered sugar over it. But do what makes you happy. The cake is very moist (five eggs!).

My Memories May blog train

Image
I use MyMemories digital scrapbooking software . There is a free downloads section on the website, and here's the May blog train , with more free stuff. The downloads have two options: formatted for MyMemories, or a general download that you can use in other programs. It would be great if people used the software, but you can still have the downloads (you just have to sign up for a free account). And you can download a trial version to try it out. If you decide to buy MyMemories, I have a discount code: STMMMS22597. The buyer gets a $10 discount and yes, I would get paid. But still, try it out for free and download the free stuff you can from the website and the blog train. *May's Blog Train ends May 31st* The color palette Each link below takes you directly to the exact page for each designer's Blog Train entry and opens in a new tab.

So, it's been awhile

Wow. My last post was in November 2017. I'm not even going to try to recap the past 14 months in this post. A quick update, though. I won a free pass to Rootstech Feb. 27-March2 in Salt Lake City. I have family in the area who offered to let me stay with them, and a very kind person has offered to pay for my plane tickets. My next dilemma - and it's a big one - is which sessions to attend. I'm getting overwhelmed with choices. There are more than 300 sessions from Wednesday through Saturday, and I can't decide. So I'm going to throw this out there (if anybody's reading this) and say I will attend two sessions picked by someone else. The schedule is posted here . The two sessions must be on Thursday, Feb. 28. One morning session and one afternoon session. If there are multiple submissions, I will go with the most popular. If there's only one, I'll go to that one. Each person who comments can pick one morning session and one afternoon session.
