I'm moving, again.
I started packing the other day, sort of last minute...typical Stephanie, for the move into our new house. As I was putting boxes together (while listening to my future husbands Jimi cds, not my iPod) it occurred to me...I have moved so many times the sound of packing tape (you know, rrrrrrip) no longer bothers Titus.
I moved to Greenville SC for college, then back to North Augusta in 2003. Then I lived in Charleston for a few years before moving back to Augusta. In September of 2007 I gladly moved back to the coast, Wilmington NC.
Titus used to run and hide when the tape even appeared, now not so much. He just laid on the coffee table (even though he knows I hate that) and watched me pack.
Momma came up on Sunday to help move, clean, all those great things moms do. She also brought all 4 of her foster children with her (aged 1-6). It's been a crazy, stressful week so far. The 6 of us are staying at The Little House now. I can't wait to have The Pope there with me.
My sister, Samantha, came up to visit, too. She drove up from Statesboro GA just to see her big sister.
I am looking forward to cooking in the kitchen, getting settled, and letting the dogs play in the backyard. They love it!

Picture a Day
For 18 years Jamie Livingston kept a record of every day of his life, but this was no ordinary journal.
Livingston, a New York City-based cinematographer, amassed thousands of Polaroid photos, taken each day of his life during those years, and a collection of the photos has been posted online by friends for people to see and experience, according to a report by MyFOX National.
Many of the photos were of friends. The subject sometimes was as ordinary as a smile, a window or a household item. Another was taken on his wedding day.
Livingston's friend Risa Mickenberg told MyFOX National the photos are an essay on life.
"'Photo of the Day' is a work of light, color, laughter, pain, travel, beauty, wonton soup, afternoons, coffee, hanging out, love, life in its entirety," she said.
Livingston was born in New Jersey on Oct. 25, 1956, and died in New York City 41 years to the day in 1997.
In 1978 at Bard College he began to take photos with his Polaroid camera, according to MyFOX National. After a few weeks he realized he had taken almost an image a day. He then began to earnestly take one photo a day and continued the project until his death.
"It's the masterpiece we all create," Mickenberg said. "It's just that Jamie thought to take its picture."

I heart avocados.
I love avocados and eat them on/with everything. I have already told Jon avocados will be a staple in our kitchen, but they are so darn expensive.
Today I did a little research on growing an avocado tree. You can actually grow a tree right from the pit in you avocado at home. Here are the directions.
I also found these avocado facts to be interesting:
*Avocados contain just 5 grams of fat per serving.
*The name 'Avocado' originates from the Aztec name ahuacacuauhitl meaning testicle tree!
*Avocados contain 60% more potassium per ounce than bananas.
*There is documented evidence that animals such as cats, dogs, cattle, goats, rabbits, birds, fish and particularly, horses can be severely harmed or even killed when they consume the avocado leaves, bark, skin, or pit.

"...we all believe in God, guts, and guns."
BUTLER, Mo. — Salesmen at one Missouri car dealership aren't just kicking in a free CD player or factory air: They're offering a free handgun with every purchase.
Through the end of the month, car buyers at Max Motors in Butler will have a choice — $250 toward either a gun purchase or gasoline.
General manager Walter Moore said that so far, most buyers have chosen the gun, adding that he suggests they opt for a semiautomatic model "because it holds more rounds."
(In the fine print, the ad on the Web site explains, "Check written toward purchase price" and also mentions, "Approved Background Check REQUIRED!!")
Moore said he suspects his "Free Handgun" ad will draw protests in some places. But not in Butler, about 65 miles south of Kansas City.
Moore said, "Down here, we all believe in God, guts and guns."
