Sometimes I think technology has become too much like an umbilical cord. It's with us wherever we go. Sometimes attached to our hips or in our pockets, but always at our fingertips. And if it does not work properly we fill like we are going to die or that some kind of injustice is being heaped upon us.

Some people at my work just upgraded their iPhone, and instead of marveling in the new features, like GPS and voice activation, they were complaining that they were not receiving their emails at the very same moment that the emails arrived in their inbox on the computer! First of all, who actual checks that! Second, if our biggest problem is not having our emails sync up correctly, then I say we got it pretty darn good.

I heard a good idea at a MonaVie event. This couple wanted to spend some quality time with their children when they visited. But ever time they did, their kids would be talking on their cell phone, texting, Twitting, or looking up box scores. So they created a basket and put it at the front door. Everytime they came to visit they had to put their phones in the basket and leave them their until they left. I love that idea :-)

Sometimes You Just Gotta Shake It!

These are not my kids...but you bet that I'm gonna teach them to shake it like this!! And if they're lucky I just might teach them some of my own sweet dance moves. Guaranteed to break a hip or a knee cap!

The Cake Heard 'Round Da Hood

FYI...

The cake is completely gluten-free, so our stomachs didn't toss and turn after a slice.

The middle is filled with a raspberry cream.

And everything on the cake is edible. From the buttons to the spools of thread to the scissors.
Go fondant!

Who would of thought a tomato pin-cushion would taste so good?
