My Other Life

Occasionally, I mention my other life, but not exactly what it is. I did mention that something great was happening soon, but I couldn't announce it just then. Well, here it is! My engineer wrote a book titled "Better Embedded System Software." I helped him a lot! It's finally out now! I know, you may have no idea what it means. I wouldn't have either, but since I've been with him for 5 years, I know! I read the whole book, so that helps! He started a blog, too, as a companion to the book. You can find his blog here! I am his first follower, and he finally started following mine! The nice thing about him is that he dedicated his book to me! He said some very nice things in the acknowledgements about me and our family, as well!

well done to you and the engineer! A big achievement.I too have a lovely engineer husband who I call a "widget" designer, as when I try to explain what he is working on, everyone gets very lost..!

The book is so well organized. It looks great. I thought the dedication and acknowledgements were wonderful.

Who picked the cover color?

Phil designed the cover himself! He wanted it to stick out when on bookshelves, instead of being "blue"!

The Tacky Earring Blog Hop

Diana Ptaszynski had a great idea, instead of a Tacky Christmas Sweater blog hop, a Tacky Holiday Earring blog hop! I was on it.  I had ideas right away.  I had so many I had to control myself.  You can buy these for $15 each, too!  Here we go! I found these awesome wreaths in the miniature Christmas section in Michaels, and they go perfectly with silver and copper colored plastic beads! These trees were found in Michaels, on an end-cap - I assume they are scrapbook or card making supplies, but make fantastic earrings.  The holes were a little small and far down, so I had to make LARGE loops.  Paired these with cute little gold colored jingle bells! And, finally, the ones I had in my head the moment she announced the blog hop.  Dr. Seuss sparkly puff balls with ribbons.  The only thing that would have made these better for me is if I could have found the red ribbons I really wanted to pair these with - don't get me wrong, the silver is cool and all, but in my head they w
