Going Private

Other

Hello friends and family!

We just wanted you all to know that we are making our blog private. From now on, when you come to our blog it will simply ask you for your email address to check that you’re on our “In” list (and you really, really want to be on the In list!) and then you can browse our exciting lives away. You’re probably already on the list, but if not, please send us your address, we want you to still be able to read the blog!

For those of you who follow us via RSS like in Google Reader, we will also be making the RSS feeds private. However, don’t despair! There will be a new, customized RSS feed link that you will find on the blog after you’ve logged in. Just use that one in place of the old one, and you’ll be set!

We hope this doesn’t inconvenience anyone too much, but we want to keep everyone updated as well as keep our family a little less than fully public. Thanks so much for following our blog, and look forward to seeing you in the future!

Fake Food Rocks

Other, , , ,

Does anyone else besides me think that fake food is just really, really cool? When I was a little kid, I liked playing with fake food – with the kitchen sets and grocery carts and especially the hamburgers, the ones you could piece together with the separate bun, patty, lettuce, pickle, and tomato pieces.

When I was a little bit older but still a kid, we moved a lot and Mom took me and my sisters to look at model homes a lot. My absolute favorite part about looking at model homes was seeing the fake food in the kitchen – the fake fruit (especially the grapes), the baguettes, the rolls.

Josh bought me a set of play food for Christmas a year ago (all my sisters thought we were having a baby – nope, it was just for me). And a little bit ago I was browsing some fake food web sites, and I came across these. Wow. How awesome are they? I decided that if I didn’t already work for the most awesome company in the world, my dream job would be working for one of these companies and making fake food. (My other dream job would be working for the I Spy guy and helping him create awesome dioramas to photograph.)

So anyway, the main purpose of this post is for me to have a list of some pretty sweet fake food sites. But, hey, now you know one of my weird quirky likes.

Paige’s Fans

Just Life, Other, ,

Tonight Josh and I were sitting next to each other tonight working on our computers. Josh leaned over to look at something on my screen. Meanwhile, the internal fans that keep my computer cool were blowing ridiculously hard because my computer’s a little old and lost half of its memory (sad story). Josh commented, “Your fans are going crazy!” And for some reason, my first thought was, “Really? My raving fans? Cool! Where?” (I think I was picturing something along the lines of “Go Go Go Joseph” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.) Um, no idea why I’d think that. But wouldn’t that be cool, if we all did have crowds/singers and dancers cheering us on when we were, uh, sitting at our computers and typing emails? ;-)

My second thought was, “Isn’t English cool?” I mean, come on, aren’t multiple-meaning words and ambiguity like that pretty fascinating, once you think about it?
