I finally did it!!!

It's very sad how many times I have tried to get a cute background on this silly blog. But, I am proud to say that I finally did it all by myself! yeah!

Now, the question is, will I remember how to do it again? You will be able to tell by whether or not the background ever changes.

Oh, and my new camera finally came in today. I'm so relieved it is here before we head off to NY!

I actually watched about 20 minutes of the news the other night. For those of you who don't know, I despise the news because I think it's all negative. They never talk about something good that was done in the community or country, just about deaths, crimes, etc. Anyway, in the 20 minutes that I saw, they actually talked about a cool website.

Check it out - you type in your address and it will show a map of your neighborhood and the crimes that have taken place. You can even put the mouse over the little symbol and it will tell you the month/year of the crime and how far in miles from your house it occurred.

I feel good to know that there's not much crime in my neighborhood. Most of hit happened at the Family Center area - but that's expected since it's a shopping center, right?

I hope everyone lives in safe, crime-free neighborhoods too!
