Wow
I've been TAGGED by K3. Though i have been tagged before by Aryan's mom, but this was the Blessings Tag that i saw yesterday on almost every blog and was desperately waiting for my turn! Thanks K3 once again.
I have been going nuts over Scrapbooking lately. I have created loads of templates and layouts. But right now i am short of photo supplies. I mean scrapbooking means a lil classy pics. but most of ours and Hiba's pics are from day to day life, and kind of boring for scrapbooking purposes. I have made a couple of "ours" (DH and mine) too, but unfortunately, cant upload it on this darn internet for privacy purposes. Last night I even tried my hand at Corel Draw. It was the first time i ever used it. I dread it is going to be my next addiction. I can say it by the way my mind was craving for its video tutorials and my hunt for the same till 4 in the morning. I did find some, and came to know lots of different things, which is possible in Corel Draw, which i itched my brain wounded to do in Photoshop, with no positive results. The hence achieved li'l triumph had no bounds of joy. I felt the techie side of my soaring high.. *Grins*

OK. About the blessings tag..
I want to tag

They and a couple of more blogs are the only ones i visit. They have really nice posts and really cute kids too. I love them all. Blessings to all of you and also to the ones i have not tagged. Apparently my heart is not stingy to give out blessings. BLESSINGS BLESSINGS BLESSINGS!! Its a blessed month it seems.

My Blog circle is still too short. One of my, in fact my only New Year resolution was to increase the readership of my blog. I've been working on it, but Photshop has kept me from giving in my 100%. Lame reason i know... but i need someone to bear the blame and Photoshop is not a living thing to mind it! Right PS? :-D

Top 5 Confessions of a 60% Techie Mom...

Ok 60% here means I m gradually getting closer to being a 100% techie mom. Seriously, having a geeky-hyper-techie (with a contagious attitude) DH like mine, its pretty obvious i'll be a 100% techie mom in no time. Not that i dislike it.. I am loving every inch of it. So we were talking about confessions huh ... Here are mine.
1) I am almost 25 now, and i am already scared of being 30. (On second thoughts, I am also scared of dying.. and lizards.. and being lonely. Ok maybe someday i'll make a post on "Top 10 Things that scare me the most" too.)

2) I love pink!! I don't know why i am so obsessed with pink. Though at time it gets somewhat embarrassing too. But what the heck?!

3) I get great ideas about blogging only when i climb on my huge bed!

4) DH hates my parents (for all very valid reasons...may be someday I will post the details here). Yes, i said it out LOUD and clear. I still cant imagine the aftermaths of this confession, but what the heck?! Isn't blogging all about being yourself?

5) I hated DH's being soooooo utterly techie during the initial days of our marriage.

P.S. You might notice frequent changes in this list from time to time. In other words, i'll keep updating this list as life goes by and things keep happening.

Thats all for now. These were somethings that have been on my mind a lot lately. Somtimes even disturbing. I'd be really glad to listen to yours..

Gadgets a Mom Would Love to Have...

Hoping to score some fun and useful tech toys, but not sure what should be on your list? When your kids and partner come asking about what you'd like for Mother's Day this year, hand over the following list and get ready to ooh and ah over your great new tech gifts. Following is MY wishlist, Which i would looooooovvvveee to have someday. I just wish i better get lucky sooner than later.

1) e Vac Robotic Vacuum: Cleaning house is the heaviest chore for any mom. But it wont be anymore if she gets this! e Vac continuously navigates an efficient path to thoroughly vacuum an entire room — as you relax, read, perform other chores...or even leave the house! Click for more info.






2)Non-stick Oven Liners: Don’t you just hate cleaning ovens? If so, Nonstick Oven Liners can be a real life-saver. The Nonstick Oven Liners can be used for regular-sized ovens or trimmed to fit smaller ovens and toaster ovens. Simply place the Oven Liner at the bottom of your oven or on the bottom rack. Any spillovers will be so easy to clean. Even burned and baked-on foods can be easily wiped off. Clean with some warm soapy water or in the dishwasher.




3) Extreme digital video cameras: A hot item at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung's Sport Cam SC-X105 features a rubberized and water-resistant body and a hands-free camera lens you wear on your arm or even on your head, miner-style, allowing you to capture your kids' magic moments — while you participate.
Cost: $849




4) MP3 Players: Do those hip iPod television commercials make you want to get up and dance? Then you'll want to check out one of the latest and most portable versions, the iPod Shuffle, a product which, says BestBuy, is "the size of a pack of gum and weighs less than a car key."
Cost: $129.99 for 512 MB, which stores 120 songs; $189.99 for 1 GB, which stores 240 songs.


5)Smart Phone: A combination cellphone and PDA, like the palmOne Treo 650, makes it possible to have all of Mom's communications tools in one device. Features include the easy-to-use Palm OS, e-mail, messaging and web access, an infrared port to beam information to other Palm devices, as well as an MP3 player and a digital camera.
Cost: $549





6) The Archos AV700E: Archos is my dream gadget! I have already started to plunk down some cash for it. For those who don't know what i am talking about, Archos AV700E is a portable media recorder and player. I like to think of it as my portable digital VCR because that’s exactly how I am going to use it. It has amazing portability. For recording stuffs, forget those set top DVD recorders. What if you want to record from another room?? Archos removes that huge hassle of moving and unplugging cables etc. It is a must have in ANY house!!

7) Video iPod Case for Kids:
Doesn’t that look so cool!

The handles look like the handles from sippy cups so you know it’s easy to hold on to. The case also is completely around the iPod so should the child get bored (or their attention wonder) they won’t be able to stick anything into the openings.

I have more to come....
