Twitter & TinyURL's

I've become a bit obsessed with blogging here lately. This seems to be my personality as some of my interest seem to eb and flow in how much time I dedicate to them. Also technology as a whole seems to amaze me a little more everyday. I recently created a twitter account and kept seeing these links named www.tinyurl.com/xxxxxxx or whatever and I had no idea how they did that so I did some research. My favorite search engine, next to google, is wikipedia and I could get lost on this sight for hours. Just ask my wife. Anyways wikipedia's definition is as follows:

http://tinyurl.com/dmsfm


But if you don't wanna read all that it basically turns any web address into a short link to get you to the same place. TinyURL's help to turn web address that look like this:

Cake decorating and mobile blogging

Well it's official.....I really like being able to blog from my blackberry. It's so much easier to send a MMS text than uploading a photo from my phone onto the computer and then onto the blog from there.


Anyways, Mariah is taking a cake decorting class at Hobby Lobby and tonight she had to get her cake ready to decorate.

As you can see the cake turned out great and we had enough left over blue icing for Lilly to have some, which she was extremely grateful for. Haha.

We've had a nice little weekend although we've done nothing that we'd planned on. Yesterday we were going to head to Mammoth Cave National Park and do some hiking on the trails there. We called and ALL the trails we closed due to the ice storm a couple of weeks ago and they have no idea when they'd be back open. So we just ran around town all day and decided to get the grill out and fire it up. Last night we had steaks and baked potatoes and today we're having burgers as you can see pictured. Gotta love this Kentucky weather. This weekend we had a glimps of Spring and enjoyed it to the fullest and we'll probably need our parkas to stay worm by the end of the week. That's what they say about Kentucky though......"If you don't like the weather stick around for a couple of days. It'll change."
