One. I turn another year older this Thursday. Not sure how I feel about that!
Two. I had been saving my money to get a 50mm 1.4 lens for my Nikon. Looks like I will need to spend that money instead on new brakes (and possibly shocks) for Lexi.
Three. %&^*^%*!@#$% Potholes!!! The roads are in BAD shape around here this time of year. Just think, three more months of dealing with it and then construction starts for the whole summer. Isn’t Minnesota great?? Maybe its like that where you live too?
Four. Super Bowl is over and done with. I am still mighty angry that the Vikes were not the ones, but I have to give it to the Saints. I didn’t really watch the game closely but I am glad they beat Indiana! I could hear my girl Greta screaming and crying all the way up here! I wouldn’t doubt if she is still celebrating, I can imagine that New Orleans (and Biloxi, MS) is the place to be right now after the win and also Mardi Gras going on!
Five. I have added a new “Featured Posts” Box at the top of my main column. I have it set to show my latest 8 posts. Working on changing the text to a color you can read but not having very much luck at the moment. Really liking this new blog design and using WordPress-installed software except for one thing (see #6)
Six. You may have noticed that all of my old photos are no longer appearing on this blog. They are somewhere in Cyberspace. I really regret not reading the Typepad to WordPress transfer instructions better. All of my photos from Nov 2006-Jan 2010 had been mapped to sweetsauer.com and were overwritten when I moved my domain name. I could see them in every post up until the moment we transferred it so I had thought they were good to go. Realized too late what had happened. Really stinks but I am over it. I had someone trying to work some magic but I think it is a lost cause or just too time consuming to worry about. I have them all on my hard drive but just do not have time to re-post photos from the past three years.
Seven. I am also in the process of redesigning the Twin Cities Restaurant blog. Going to make sure all of the photos get transferred correctly before the same mistake happens!
Eight. Watched The Ugly Truth this weekend with Katherine Heigl. So funny!!! Adventureland was cute too
Nine. I am starving right now! What else is new??? I have had an outrageous appetite ever since the New Year and not feeling good about the way I look or feel right now. Can’t seem to stop eating though. I love food. Signing off so I can make some breakfast……
Thanks for reading, have a great day ;)
Bummer about the brakes! That really sucks!

I was just thinking about #3 on my way into work this morning… thought about writing a short snipit about it myself. Then I got so angry reading yours that I’ve decided not to. Not angry at you, angry at the 3 months left of potholes… ugh.

What a HUGE bummer about the pictures! I am so glad that you have them all saved somewhere so that they aren’t lost forever. And a huge bummer about the brakes as well – nothing stinks more than saving your money for something exciting and then having to spend it on ‘life’.

It’s not a good day when brakes take lens money, but it happens to the best of us. You will love your 50mm when you get it, which I’m sure you already know. :) And yes, I remember roads loaded with %$#@!* potholes from Michigan, where I grew up. Oh, the snow and cold and salt does a number on the roads. And road construction literally becomes part of the landscape during the spring and summer. At least it means the people doing those jobs have work! Also, that’s soooo sad that your blog doesn’t hold all those previous photos. What a HUGE disappointment. At least you do still have copies of them, but it sucks that you don’t have them here, on your blog anymore. It takes a lot to get over something like that. You must haev had to channel your inner monk to find peace with it! Finally, about your #9 update … I am with you on that. I ate so poorly with the holidays … then with all our company … then on my travels. They say it takes two weeks to retrain your brain and your tastebuds after you’ve been overeating or eating too much carbs or sweets. I’ve been thinking that I might make that one of my March goals. I really need it. I identified with that you said about not liking how you were looking or feeling. Maybe we could do it together and provide e-support!
