Post #400 (for lack of a better title)
I am so glad its Friday! 2 days of playing and having fun with my boy.
I realized this afternoon that I talk to Alex like he is 30. I explain my reasoning to him, the logic behind decisions I make and the things I do. Its rather funny when I think about it. Either he will learn to tune me out rather quickly or he will learn to be very long winded! :)
In the computer world, I got Office 2007 in the mail a couple days ago and installed it this evening. Through work, we get a program called Microsoft Home Use and it allows us to buy certain software packages for very low prices. $21 for the Office 2007 suite and Visio. Pretty darn cheap if you ask me! It has a few new cool features in it for Outlook. The ability to check RSS feeds is really nice. It looks a lot like 2003 though it is more blue instead of silver/grey. I haven't launched all the apps yet but I would imagine there are some nice new features to play with in each one. I did like with Outlook that it had the ability to go out to my ISP and grab all the settings for me. THAT was nice instead of having to configure it manually (although that is still an option too).

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll. I would add your link to my blog soon. Please tell me the anchor text that you would like to have for your link.
I have always talked to my kids like that since the day they were born. I never lie to them, or keep things hidden from them. I don't shield them from any realities of life.
Keep doing it and I promise, he won't tune you out, he'll always respect you for being honest with him.
My kids are smart, witty, and know how to handle just about any situation.
You are right Kat.. that is the most sensible thing to do to deal with your kids..
By the way Shannon, I have posted your link to my site, however I think the link that you have added to my blog in your blog roll is pointing to some wrong place (it points to a ppp opportunity page).. can you please look and rectify this.. thanks..
Thanks for fixing the link and your nice comments on my site..
