The Austins

Blog-o-mite!

I've been trying to think of ways to inspire more blog writing from myself...

I have decided that it might be fun to try having certain categories for certain days of the week.

So here is what I came up with:

Tuesdays- Ten words or less.  I think that imposing a limit of sorts on your creative space can sometimes inspire greatness.  Brevity  = good.

Wednesday- Going to jump on the Wordless & Wayback Wednesday bandwagons.  That means pictures.

Friday- Foodie Fridays.  Posts about, you guessed it... Food.

I also wanted to start doing some product reviews...not sure if I want to commit to 1 a week though.  So I might just sprinkle them in here and there.

Anyone have any suggestions for other categories?

Also...I haven't exactly run this by Tara yet so everything included in the above message is subject to change.

Seriously?

birth announcement part 2

thanks to everyone for your thoughts and ideas.  i sent a letter to the editor yesterday so we will see if anything comes of it.  i really appreciate all of the support!  maybe Leah is right and they just haven't thought about it.
i just hate it because i wanted to put it in their baby books and now i don't know if that is the best idea.
if i hear anything from the paper i will definitely keep you posted.

birth announcement

so...the birth announcement was in the ark dem-gaz yesterday.  here is the article:

UAMS MEDICAL CENTER Jan.

23 Ira Johnson and Nicole Henderson, Menifee, son.

Pamala Douglas, Marmaduke, son.

Tara Austin, Little Rock, twin son and daughter.

Darrell Tipton and Jessica Billiot, Fairfield Bay, twin sons.

Branson Dean and Terri Shipley, Van Buren, son.

Matthew Thompson and Jody Honea, Bee Branch, son.

it asked for the mother's and father's names and i scratched out father and put second mother.  so why did almost everyone else get the other parent listed and i did not????  the dem-gaz is gonna get an earful from me.  feel free to complain to them if you are a sunscriber or even if you are not.  anything else we can do???  letter to the editor??

Just the cutest lil' thing

I pass this car everyday on my walk to work and it makes me smile.
I just want to pick it up and squeeze it!
