Monday tips and updates.


I can't believe I just found this out. Has it been there all along and I have passed right over it? Ignored it? Say it isn't so! As much as I'm on the computer I can't believe I haven't known about this little print option. Let's say you are on a website which has a ton of content but you are especially interested in one paragraph. You can highlight only the area you are interested in, press the print key so the print box pops up and before you hit PRINT, you select "selection" and then hit print. It will then only print the highlighted area or rather the selected area. Do you know how many trees I have hurt throughout the years? Maybe this is a new option?!

Onions.
Found this video (courtesy of Rachel Ray) on one way to chop an onion. I've tried it once but was a bit uncomfortable. However, I think it has great possibilities! I'm unable to copy the video but here's the link titled How to cut an onion - check it out.

Weekend Updates:
Curtains - I did work on the curtains. I cut some more fabric - yeah! Should be able to start sewing soon.

Blackberry and Outlook - I was able to finish setting up Outlook as my personal contact management system and synch it to my Blackberry. This is the first time since I've had my blackberry that it's set-up properly. I'm still tweaking it but it's close enough to make me very happy. I also set-up the bluetooth capabilities on my computer so I don't need wires. Lovely that is. I think it should be law that everything become wireless. Seriously.

Pumpkins - Copied this idea from Patti last year and liked it so much that I decided to make permanent ones for each year. Picked up the faux pumpkins at Garden Ridge several months back and painted them white. Of course after I had the first coat of paint on them I ran up to Michaels to get more paint and saw they had off-white pumpkins I could have purchased instead. Oh well, decided to go forward with what I had started. Pretty happy with the results. Thanks again Patti for the great idea!

    Wish I could truly take the credit, but I purchased mine with the letters already on them. Somehow, I think that's cheating. Yours are much neater and I love the letter style. Loving the look of your blog, too. So fancy!
