Parent-Teacher Meetings Today :)


Mini Me is currently in 11th grade. And I'm very proud to say she got Rave Reviews. I really enjoyed seeing her interact with her teachers. Made me smile inside to see how confident and charming she was. She's becoming quite the young lady :-)

My Accountability Post of the Day...

There's a few different reasons I call this blog My Escape (Mon évasion...). So when I get a bit of free time at home I tend to focus my attention here (Blog ~ Internet ~ Laptop) and forget about "things" for a while. Which is nice, for a few moments... 'till I turn around, or look at my watch. So I'm gonna try a little accountability, like I talked about in my "Time 2 Simplify" Page, to see if it helps me check things off my to do list, and still get some blogging time in my day, like I want. I'm sure this is gonna be trial and error, but hey, I'm in the mood so, here goes... ;-)

I'll Update Bellow every little while

Windows 7 Desktop... As YOU Wish ;)

Inquiry Minds want to know, how to use any pics you want as your desktop image. I knew how to make a specific picture appear as the desktop, but I never really checked how to make a desktop slideshow out of a custom group of pictures. So for those who don't already know, here is what I found. Hope it helps ;-) 

To make a single picture your desktop. Simply save it somewhere you can find it on your computer. Then right click on it and select "Set as desktop background" and voila. Depending on the size and resolution, some pictures will look better then others as your desktop.

Now, how to make a group of pictures that you choose alternate as your desktop background. First save all the picture you like in a folder. Then right-click directly on the desktop. Select "Personalize", then "Desktop Background" at the bottom of that window. It will give you something that looks like this....


Now all you have to do is find your folder location, then put a check mark on the picture, or pictures you want as your desktop image. Notice at the bottom where you can modify the position, and the amount of time it will take to switch to the next one.

If you like some of the pictures I post and haven't already saved the ones you like. The easiest way to find them again is to click on a specific label like Wallpaper, Redheads or Gun Porn as examples, and find your favs a lot faster. Have fun... ;-)

Oh, and out of curiosity, let me know by clicking "reactions" or commenting if this was helpful in some way... I hope it is :-)

Happy Hump Day!

Yep, they are pilling up. Pretty soon they'll be
snow covered, not sure I'm ready for that.

Spend part of the day yesterday fixing up the wood stove. I had to replace some parts of the stove pipes that were simply to risky to use one more year. It's always tricky to play with since nothing is properly aligned in this house. Got her all up and running and the house is warm again. 

So here it is, meet my Redneck Stove.
No, it's not made out of a washer ;-)

A Shout Out To Ray :)

Checking up on The Munchkin, how is she?
I still got a tickle in my throat that won't go away...
Otherwise fine. It was a stubborn one :/
So I was wondering how the little one was fairing??


I snatched it earlier this year and was gonna post it on Father's Day,
but I lost track of it. Found it the other day and thought of you :-)

P.S. If you try this, I would suggest cleaning the inside of the hose first...
That girl is quite the little sport ;-)

~ My Saturday ~

I was a Tint Virgin, Never done it before ;-)


So I looked up a few videos online. Watched the best one a couple times. Good thing, because I really had no idea about the ins and outs of getting it done like a pro.  Still talking about window tint here... ;-)

Just being silly :-) I did the back 3 window, and I think I did a pretty good job, especially since this was my first time and all... ok I'm gonna stop talking now....

I took a pic if you wanna see :-)
