sam's 4 year pics turned into about 80 edited pics in a folder on my desktop! i'm so indecisive as to what to order to hang on the walls. . .that's on my TO DO LIST for this week. . .

{ hip hip horray }

guess what???

yes. . .it is back, so hopefully, that means that i am back, and i'll be checking my favorite blogs out as well. when i put my laptop back together (YEP..I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF....pretty thrilled about saving us some money there!) and clicked on my favorites on this computer, i was astonished at all my favorite blogs that i haven't checked out in MONTHS! that i had actually forgot about!!

one thing i wanted to tell you guys about is GROUPON.

they now have a KNOXVILLE section. . .

if you sign up, an email is waiting for you everyday with a SUPER awesome and SUPER cheap deal! great for families that have to find things to do on the c-h-e-a-p!!

a set of 4 baseball tickets to the smokies game, 4 hot dogs, and 4 cokes went for 20 dollars the other day! today's deal is for putt-putt, but it's in farragut. . .a little too far for us to drive!!

but you don't have to be a KNOXVILLE person to do it. . .go on there and find your city. . .and it will send you updates for that city. . . .pretty cool!!!

ok. .

i'm working on a post about my sweet sam's fourth birthday!

i'll have it up tomorrow or friday. . promise. . .you may even see it pop up today. . .but, i doubt it!!

and. . . .

i got a comment the other day from jason at giveaway scout. the site says it best:

we automatically scan thousands of blogs to bring you the latest blog giveaways, sweepstakes and contests.

so. . .i'll be joining up with them on a giveaway soon. . .hopefully for my blog anniversary!

{ guess what }

have you met these gals? if not, then today is the day!

i've linked them up before. . . .but today. . . yes. . .today, they've made my day by featuring little ol' me and my cheapo nightstand in our bedroom!!!

check it out MY POST HERE!!!!!!

{ is it because i won't post }

that my followers keep decreasing? oh my. . .i'm sorry. . .

my excuse???

would you believe that dell STILL HAS NOT sent my lcd screen that i ordered at the beginning of july. . .you know, the one where the crazy sales lady told me it was in stock! i'm so tired of dell. i'm definitely going with an apple the next time i purchase! i said that out loud, huh? when i was taking an intro computer class my freshman year of college, i had to use an apple and i hated it. . . .but when i've used scrappin' in the city's computer, i've LOVED theirs! i guess it's come a long way since then!

ok. . .
onto pics....
i have to get my bottom in gear. . .come down here and post something, right? so why not some senior photos?

class of 2011
