Tag! You're It!

Last week Giao tagged me with a fun meme!  Now that the kids are down for the night (Hank too!), I thought I'd sneak in a quick post.  Okay, here goes:

5 CDS in your player:
The Wiggles (Thrilling, I know)
Dido
The Shins
Arthur:  Crazy Bus! (Crazy indeed!)
Coldplay
5 Movies You've Seen Recently:
Must Love Dogs
The Incredibles (2X this week!)
War of the Worlds
Nightmare Before Christmas
Math Circus
5 Nice Things That Happened To You Lately
• Hank purchased cards from The Paper Princess to show his support.  He was hoping to be the first customer!
• Henry picked a passion flower from the yard and gave it to me (it was swarming with ants, but the thought was so sweet!)
• My mom has come over 2-3 times a week to let me take a nap and rest!
• Readers e-mailed me with potty training support and advice! THANK YOU!
• Mo of Froy and Olo sent the most wonderful package of gifties for the kids (I will have to photograph to show you!  I'll do that in the a.m.!)
• My m-i-l just brought me some vintage feedsacks from her recent trip to New Hampshire! (okay so that was 6 nice things!)
5 MP3s On Your Playlist
Hank hogs the iPod -- so, I dunno.  :)
5 Friends To Pass This On To (Please forgive if you've been tagged!)

*******Commercial Break*********
I also wanted to thank you all for your support and kind words over the Grand Re-Opening of The Paper Princess.  Last week was a pretty busy one for me (business wise), and I must say that I couldn't have done it without everyone's kind words and links.  So THANK YOU! THANK YOU!  Five years ago I would have never imagined that I'd sell my stuff to people in Thailand! or Australia! or Singapore! How neat is that?  Again I owe it all to the wonderful world of BLOGS and to the wonderful folk I've met online!  My gratitude to you is endless!

*******Back to my regular scheduled post********
Sweet Katey tagged me with a 5 Idiosyncracies meme.  Here goes (I hope I don't SCARE anyone off!)
1.  I write with my right hand.  But cut with my left.
2.  I am a part-time vegetarian.  Meat makes me gag, but I won't hesitate to wolf down a BEEF TACO from Tito's.
3.  I used to be a great speller. . . until I became a teacher.  (Reading too many misspellings can get to you!).
4.  When I sleep my hair must be fanned out on my pillow and off of my neck.
5.  I get irritated when people lurk behind me when I'm on the computer.

Okay, now I pass this to:  Mo, Joy, and Kelly!  Have fun!

******And now I bring to you, THE PEE UPDATE.  (Yes, yes, I know you've been waiting with bated breath....I can't help but bring the latest and the greatest to you).
The Prince and the Pee
There truly must be a Pee Angel out there somewhere! After 3-4 of treacherous days of urine and laundry, laundry, and yep! laundry!, Henry seems to have turned the corner. Yes folks, he's now moseying down (Almost) Potty Trained Avenue. Woo hoo! Last week he had a few days of bone dry underwear. And just yesterday I taught him how to STAND UP AND PEE! He's quite thrilled with that, and so am I. I'm just not real thrilled with his aiming skills. Or his pooping skills. But that'll be in the next chapter, "The Pooped Prince."

******One more random item to add to this post *********
If anyone has any problem viewing any images on The Paper Princess, could you let me know? I'm particularly concerned about the individual item pages. On my inlaws' computer there are no rollover images (in fact there are no images at all). I looked at the page source code, and the img src tags are gone. So far they're the only ones who have had problems. If you do see problems, could you also let me know what browser you're using? THANKS a bunch!

GO HENRY, GO HENRY! I'm so proud of you both, you're such a super mama.

I've just mailed you with some tips and hints and I also did a little shopping. I love the Paper Princess, you're a super mama paper princess!

[Kathleen]

Tito's has a website?! hahahaha!
I was reading Joleen and Katey's Idiosyncracies last night too, and trying really hard to think up some of my own...still nothing! But your #5 about computer lurkers really makes me crazy too.
So glad to hear about Henry's amazingly quick triumph over the porcelain throne & all the success of the paper princess re-launch, yay!

see you've been tagged too! my little guy is watching the incredibles AGAIN this very moment! :D great film, love it. and the paper princess is just so cool1 time to look around!

[debbie]

I'm having the same trouble your outlaws are having, no enlarged images or rollover images. We have explorer. Rock on, Henry!

[Jesser]

The potty-training anecdotes have me rolling. So funny. Of course, when I have kids and am in the middle of all that, maybe it won't be quite so amusing.

Wooot! to Henry! What a big boy!! And thanks for doing the meme (fun!), and I'm so glad the relaunch of The Paper Princess is going well! Yay!!

Write with your right, cut with your left, from the 5 idiosyncracies, caught my eye because I write with my left, cut with my right.

Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for visiting my site and leaving such a kind comment! I happened upon your store via joleen, but did not know about your blog until I read your post - what a serendipitous day! Knowing that you are the "Paper Princess" has fueled my inspiration. =)

UGH. The Math Circus. If I never hear the songs from that video again it will be a day too soon. That and all the others. "Every letter makes a sound!" I hear that Professor's voice in my head at night when I try to go to sleep...

I got your bag today and it is HEAVENLY. I love it and have already switched everything out from my old purse. The straps just broke on it so how serendiptious that yours arrived today! Oh the glee! Your package goes out tomorrow...I had to wait for something extra special to come in before I mailed it. Tee hee.

Thanks Leslie!

This has nothing to do with your website, but I have a few computers at work who's PCs won't see pictures from one perticular website and when I viewed the source code the src tags were missing as well. You're the only other person I've found while searching google that has had the same problem I'm having. Did you ever find the solution to your problem? If so could you let me know what fixed it for you? If you havn't found an ansewer and are still looking and want to know all the steps I've tried to fix it, with no sucess, just email me. The PC's in questions use I.E. and Firefox. I'm going to try the link to the page your having problems with on my problem computers when I get back to the office. If you want I can let you know if I see any pictures or not. Sorry about just emailing out of know where.
