Okay, here's my latest way to waste your time.
I made this mainly to stump my friend Rachel, but all are welcome to give this a shot.
The first column is all actresses, the second actors. All are movie stars, though a few have had success (in the case one more success) on television shows. Their eras range from the late 1920s to present day.
Good luck! I'll post the answers later tonight.

Just in case you ever wondered, the following are websites I frequent. Using a five-star system, I've rated them on level of recommendation to others. The photo images all have links to the sites.

(This list does not include blogs of people I know, I love you all already. I doesn't need to be said in a list! Ha!)



If you read then pure and simple, this site is for you. It's my home page. I could live here...wait... I DO!

My second home online. I love blip.fm! Its a site where you are the dj and has be called Pandora (see below) on steroids. You just type what song you want to hear and you get a list of potential matches to choose from. Just click and listen and share with others. * * * *



I craft cuteness vicariously through Elsie Flannigan's blog A Beautiful Mess. * * *









I simple am at the library site reserving books, cds, movies and sanity. I love the SLCLS! Memorize your card number now. * * * *


Terresa Wellborn speaks truth from the perspective of a mother, a poet, a writer...I love her insight and her talent. * * * *







A superb online radio site that takes elements of songs you say you like and searches for those elements in other songs and makes you your own customized radio station AND IT'S ALL FREE! * * * * *








What is there really to say? I see most of you there anyway.

Funny how one of my favorite blogs features my absolutely least favorite colors. Oh well. How About Orange is the blog of Jessica Jones, fabric designer, but oh she has so much fun sharing great craft ideas, digital designs, fun ideas and web finds. Fun stuff here! * * * *


Yes, I do. Gotta keep up with the Twilight Saga news. * *

Today is Civic Day in Canada.

Everyone who owns a Honda celebrates and then they all sing with one Accord.

In my truly non-existent spare time I have devised a new version of a quiz I did a few months back...
Whose Eyes are These?



See if you know which film celebrities these eyes belong to...
the answers are listed by me in the comments.
How did you do?

Just a curiosity post...

Leave a comment and tell me where in the world wide web you were before you came here. Links would be a fun addition, too!

I can't quite say "I'm baaaaaack!" yet because my computer is at bare-bones minimum after it's death by software malfunction and subsequent partial resurrection by Cameron. Thankfully we bought a back-up hard drive after our last crash and aren't missing any files (although they aren't yet on the main drive yet, this has to wait til Cam gets home).

I'm quite pathetic without my computer, I've learned, but sometimes I feel like there's no turning back. Computers are the future. Computers are the here and now.

I love my computer.

To those who haven't noticed my absence from the web-at-large: As you were.

This is me...


Your personal style is a mix of 3 specific styles:
50% Contemporary
38% Modern Elegance
12% Cottage Chic
Contemporary
So fresh and clean! Antiques? No thanks! Vintage collections and clutter of any type? Not for you! You like your space new and sleek. Each piece is chosen carefully as though it were a piece of art, and your love of minimalism is expressed throughout each room. Furniture has clean lines and geometric shapes are preferred.
You're not afraid of color — in fact, bold color options only highlight the minimal items you choose for your home. But the key is clean. To master the minimalist interior you not only have to be selective in the few furniture items you bring into the space, you must also find a way to hide all of the real-life items as well.

This would be perfect for me, but I have this things called kids. May be in another life?

Take the quiz to discover your personal style, then check out home furnishings that match your style. SPROOST

So you say you want to get into genealogy and research your ancestors and all that family tree jazz?
You say you'd start today, but you hesitate because you've never seen a census chart or marriage record?

You say you simply don't have the time to get into the true trenches of researching your people...yet?

Well, I would like to make a humble suggestion: try Family Search Indexing!

Family Search Indexing gives you the chance to work on someone's family history by indexing various records from the United States and other countries that will help them to find and ultimately help you to find where your ancestors came from, what they did for a living and other cherish-able information.

Give it a try! It's absolutely free without any strings. The benefits to you is that you can easily get comfortable with the records you'd use when you are able search for Uncle Joe and Grandma Zerelda and you really are helping further the connections of families everywhere and that has got to feel good.

Click here to volunteer!
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with www.familysearchindexing.org site. I just love to do this volunteer work and view these little slices of history.



It's been a wonderful 4 years, sweetheart!
We love you SO much!





Just don't grow up and marry Tom Cruise!

Hey, I am part Welsh!

MyHeritage: Celebrity Morph - Geneology - Family history

We are all creators, always creating.

Ok, this is from a genealogy class about using the internet as a tool and it is amazing information, but it's really just a Google tutorial. I promised my mother-in-law that I'd type them up for her. While the examples here are mostly genealogy based, I think that there's something here for everyone.

Customizing Your Google search:

  • you can customize it into different languages
  • you can change the number of results per page

Write a sentence out for what you're searching for and type in the key words from that sentence

Write words that you want to appear in the text you're hoping to see
Be specific
Use no more than 10 words in your search

Boolean Operatives:
  • Using 'and +' means you want both words to show in your search. If you use the plus sign, don't use spaces between the words.
  • Using a minus sign '-' means not, so if your child has to do a report on dolphins, but you don't want the Miami Dolphins to be part of that, in your search you would type: 'dolphins -Miami -football' to avoid getting those results.
  • Using 'or' broadens your search to include either word
  • Using quotations around a set of words will search for those two words in that order.
  • Using parenthesis...example: if you type (mouse or mice) and (poison or trap) it will bring you results that contain one element of each set. ie a result with mice poison or mouse trap or mouse poison, etc
  • Using '*'. Known as a wild card, this will work as a replacement for up to six letters. Must be proceeded by at least 3 letters. Example: I'm looking for the name Johnson, but I don't know if it is spelled Johnson, Johnston, Johnsen. I can type Johns* into Google and I'll get results that cover any spellings that follow that pattern.
  • '*' can also be used for dates. Example: you type California Election "Oct * 2003" or "10/*/03" or "October * 2003" Google will find the day of the month of the California election in october of 2003
  • Using '?' The question mark can help with alternate spellings as a replacement of one letter. Ex. Johns?n will bring results that could be Johnson Johnsun Johnsen, etc.
  • Using '..' This can help with a numeric range. Say I'm looking for Iowa Maps that existed between 1800 and 1850. I type: Iowa Maps 1800..1850 (only two dots!)
  • Using '~' This is called a tilde. If you are looking for a census guide you can type: census ~guide and it will bring results like census guide, census help, census tutorial

The following are for searching specific sites using Google's all-powerful search engine

  • If you don't necessarily trust a link and want to know about it before you go type: info:and then the webpage. ex. info:www.ebay.com and it will bring up what looks like the results page, but specifically abou this address
  • If you want to see sites that have a particular address as a link on their site, you type: link:and the site. If you found a great site for Irish Ancestry, this method could possibly lead you to similar sites.
  • If you want to use Google to search for content on a specific site (Google is powerful whereas some sites little search boxes don't work as well) ex. I want to look for any instance of Anton Szuszutsky on RootsWeb. I type: "Anton Szuszutsky" site:www.rootsweb.com and it will only search on this site for this name.

Possibly a very boring post for most of you, but hey, you never know when this stuff'll come in handy.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Yes I AM having a great time at Education Week. I'll have some informative tidbits to share in future posts.

Well, now that I've got your attention...
I am leaving for BYU Education Week (THANK YOU AGAIN, CAMERON!!!) in the morning and won't be posting for about a week, so I am leaving you with what I hope is an interesting and interactive post.

Found this fun site, so the following photos are of me in different lives I may or may not have lived (if I had been born with the exact same face).


1958, when my grandma was a young mom, like myself

1960


1974


And the year of my birth: 1976

Ooh, so stylin'. Seriously, it's pretty interesting and I only wasted 40 minutes doing it, but I hope it made you laugh. No, I don't believe in reincarnation.
Ok, now for the psychic phenomena...Do you have anything in your life that is inexplicable and you've thought to yourself from time to time, "Huh...now that was weird..."? Well, now's your chance to share it with the world.

Here's mine: all too often I'll be singing a song to myself and I'll turn on the radio (usually Yahoo! Radio), or even start a shuffle of songs that I own and that very song will up first. Lately, it's happened with Three Dog Night's "Old Fashioned Love Song." This is not an overplayed pop song, it's an obscure oldie, so that's why I think that it's weird when this happens.

Now there are matters of the Spirit in which wonderful blessings happen all the time and I know that these things come from Heavenly Father. This is not what I'm talking about AT ALL. I'm talking about absolutely trivial nothings that strike you as odd from time to time and I mean it all in fun.

What have you got? Do street lights go out as you drive past? Chronic deja vu?

Or am I the only weirdo here?

This is a creation using the words to two of my favorite songs. Isn't it fun? Go ahead, click on it. It's really cool!

If you love words and like me, consider them worthy of being framed and hung on the wall, especially when they look like this then you need to visit WORDLE !
