No Photo Icons in Finder... All This Time!

http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-80157.html

Now that I'm setting up my Mom with an iMac, I thought to look up a possible solution to a problem I've had with my Mac so she wouldn't have to deal with it, too!

I just learned that I could have told my Mac to show thumbnails as the icons for images in the finder window. OH MY GOSH. I've been using and really liking my Mac for years now, but I have always thought that there was no way to see photo thumbnails as the image icons. I've been using iPhoto, religiously, because of this, which has not turned out to be bad at all. I've managed to keep my photos consistenly imported and organized in iPhoto. I feel so silly now.

Baby Boy is moving around a lot now.

I'm really starting to feel this little baby move around a lot now.

Labor Day

Labor Day is on Sep 7. Wouldn't it be hilarious if I went into labor on
that day! Ha ha! :-)

Twice-Soaked Beans

I'm trying something new with beans: soaking them twice.

After they soaked all night, I drained and rinsed them, but put them back in a pot of fresh water to soak again all day.

I'm hoping that it will make eating the beans a much less gassy experience. I'm also hoping that this will not make them too mushy, though.

Update: It worked!

A date

Jason and I took Joanna to Neena's and Paw Paw's on Saturday. Jason and I went on a date! We saw the movie, "Taken" at the $4 movie theater and went shopping. We had a really nice time. Joanna didn't even cry or look sad when we left her. She has so much fun at Neena's and Paw Paw's house. In fact, she napped on the way there and woke once we pulled right up in front of their door. She knew right away where we were and got all excited wanting out of the car! She said, "Paw Paw!" when she saw where we were.

Joanna on the Dining Room Table

Firday morning, Joanna climbed up on the dining room chair all by herself. I thought that was nice and let her be while I fixed her breakfast. However, I turned around a few moments later to see Joanna standing tall on the dining room table. She had the "ta da!" look on her face. I simply
said, "Joanna. No climbing on the table," and got her down. I figured the worst thing I could do about this would be to make a huge deal about it. So far, it has been day three since and she hasn't tried it again.
