So this weekend I went another route. I have had these American Girl books around since I was ten and decided to read them through this weekend. They were so good, I was left seriously wanting my own Kirsten doll! Might just have to have a little girl before I can actually justify myself getting a doll at age 28. But, if you have a little girl, you must read these books to her. Maybe it's because I'm Swedish and from Minnesota and have great great grandparents who came to America to make a farming life for themselves, but I really enjoyed these sweet stories.
some more short stories

U, G, L, Y: You ain't got no alibi, you're ugly!
I stood there for a moment, thinking that on my worst day, I am fortunate not to have an UGLI sticker stuck to my forehead.
I picked one up, put it in my cart, came home, curious as to what this thing might taste like (personification of object officially over here). And in the end, it is much like a huge orange that is so stinking juicy it had to be eaten directly over the kitchen sink. There actually was more juice than fruit inside of each section. Refreshing and delish. Not ugly at all. If you get the chance, get yourself an ulgi fruit. I believe I should wrap up with some wise comment about how it's not whats on the outside but...
humble pie.
So. Turns out, if you have gmail, you can just click on the Follow button on the side panel and just by clicking and adding your face to that list, the blog will appear in your google reader. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! Why did I make an entire tutorial to explain this?!!! A girl might just want to make sure she knows what in the world (wide web) she is talking about before she goes and makes any more tutorials. Until then, I'll stick to stories and scrapbooks.
The rest of the tutorial is still accurate...and I still stand behind a Reader. Just know that you can subscribe and you can follow, and to be so honest, I don't have a clue what the difference is between the two. (seems like subscribing is more private and following is public?!!) But I'm done pretending to be the expert!
Please forgive me!

How to use an RSS reader from Becca Groves on Vimeo.
I made a video for this Monday Morning! I think you can probably see that I've been at work on the layout of my blog. I'm hoping it's a bit easier to navagate. Basically, it was just time for some spring cleaning, and since I am all about organization it actually was very happy work. I organized my posts and will continue to do so for easier categorized reading...
Anyway, this video I am posting is all about keeping the blogs you read organized. I have had a few people ask me how they can find out if I've posted something new and an RSS reader is the best way. Don't be scared...it's pretty basic stuff and if you already use one, you know what I mean. But for those of you who don't use one, consider this video tutorial my personal gift to you as you begin your own spring cleaning, sorting your blogs, organizing your daily readings...
Happy Monday everybody!
hip! hip!
