I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty damn comfort foodlicious.

Absofreakinglutely. I may branch out and try your version one of these days. Two tuna casseroles in the repertoire cannot be a bad thing.

Oh, wow. I downloaded Google Voice tonight. I may be in love. Who's using it? I've been reluctantly thinking about changing my cell number to a local area code... and now I don't have to, because Google let me do it for free. And, my god, the functionality! How is all that free? I feel like I just got my first hit for free, and we all know what comes next. Oh, well, too late for me.

My mom emailed this morning to tell us kids that dad may have had a small stroke over Christmas but refused to go to the doctor at the time. Which. Uncool, dad?

But it's more motivation to keep up with the healthy eating and exercise so that's not me in 20 years.

Did they just find out now that it happened, or is it one of those "the kids don't need to know yet" things?

My mother had a bad day today, and I wasn't there for her.

But I wasn't exactly here for me. I did call, but we only chatted briefly.

I can't work out how to surprise her with something cheerful tomorrow morning.

Maybe I should hunt through my flickr pictures or something. Putting together a set to cheer her up feels a bit impersonal. Is there any other way to make a digital series for her to flip through? A not that complicated digital scrapbook? I don't intend to do any digital editing...

I don't know what I'm thinking of. I just want to do something nice, and it's not like I can get her flowers. Or that she needs more flowers. Good god, they moved a garden into her hospital room, and she still has half of it, because it was plants and not cut flowers.

Help my Mummy!

Oh, you Chuck-missers, there was good use of national anthem. Artfully done.

Can you do a quick scrapbook in iPhoto? Do you still have the photos there?

Oh wow, those pics of Mac.

Kind of an xpost from Bitches, mostly for sarameg: DRINKING WITH NEIGHBORS IS AWESOME, THE END. (esp. when Nora is a neighbor)

When you do a scrapbook in iPhoto, what format do you end up with? She doesn't have a Mac. I quickly tagged a few here: [link] that seemed to be a mix of moments. I don't know if she wants things outside of family, if she wants to look at landscape, so, dunno.

Yeah, I only share iphoto scrapbooks with mac people. But it also looks like you can use shutterfly, connected to flickr, to make a digital scrapbook you share via an email link (in addition to having one in print if you wanted, which I don't think you do). [link] is the link.

Nope. I'm wrong. It's snapfish.

Did they just find out now that it happened, or is it one of those "the kids don't need to know yet" things?

He finally went to the doctor for a check-up the other day, so it's recent news. Stress test is next week.

Parents, man. Why they gotta make us worry?

ita, go to snapfish and create a photobook. Then share the link to the book. It's a little "BUY ONE" but still a nice book. This is what the link looks like from a book I did after the kids' birthday party so you can see how a premade book sent as a link works: [link]

It's easy to do. From the organize and create tab in flickr, choose which photos you want. Send them snapfish, create book there, then share link.
