I'd like to file a complaint:

I'm sending this complaint into the void since there is nobody to complain to. Did you know that there is a new rule in APA format that you are only ever suppose to have one space after a period--nomatter where that period is? I am so used to hitting the space key twice at the end of sentences that it is automatic. So, I now have to go through all of my papers and delete extra spaces at the end. Whoever decided to change the rule deserves death by beheading.

Thanks, I feel better now that I've vented.

Does that mean I have to go through everything I've ever written and change it? I wonder if that will change any of my college grades..... How about question marks? I just put two spaces after these question marks.

You know, Cambrie, if you were in charge of our correctional system, I do believe we would have less crimals! I will vote for you.

So in junior High in keyboarding class, that's how they taught us -- how it's "supposed to be done." Two spaces after every sentence. So I still have that habit, even though a couple of years later, I remember some class telling me it was now just one space. Sorry. I'm a two-space person.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
