How to Disable Word Verification & CAPTCHA on Blogger
Please consider taking down your word verification. I love leaving comments on blogs. I try...a lot!! However, on an iPhone or iPad and auto-correct....it is nearly impossible. Not to mention that word verification, itself, has gotten quite difficult to read. Here is a video that will show you how to modify yours. I have different preferences with some of her settings but the overall goal is the same.
Thank you, Randomocity for this video
I realized, after sending e-mails to people, that most bloggers don't know they have this. If you don't know if word verification is on your comments.....leave your blog address on this comments, and we will visit you and find out.
My question to you is, if after one failed attempt with word verification, do you try again OR move on?
What Do You Call Him/Her?
We are on our way home from Florida. In fact, by the time you read this...we will be back in New Jersey. Shortly, I will post some pictures from Legoland. For now, I am missing my dog. I have posted about him before. He is my third child. We all love him...but I like to think that I am his favorite. I feed him, and he remembers that.
I have about 4 different names for him. None of them are his actual name. Shmooboo, Doodoo, Shoeshoe, Coocoo. They all sound roughly the same...and he comes when I call. I can't be alone in this.....so, what do you call your pet?

Here is a refresher on what my dining room looked like at the beginning (6 weeks ago)

Here was the original plan
Here is the execution
The only thing that did not get done was a reupholster on the head chairs that you see in the beginning. I found a fabric...but ran out of time. Next up for me is the all white foyer I have dreamed of....anyone want to play "Foyer Challenge?" Here is the information & some links for this transformation:
Wall color - Benjamin Moore Metallic Glaze in Veil Cream

Margaritas
I love a margarita. I have had all kinds. In fact, my all time favorite is a ginger margarita. I think I will be a bit more adventurous this summer, and try some of these.

Lavender Fields
I was thinking about lavender the other day. I miss growing it. In California, it was easy to have an abundance of it. I have not had the same luck in New Jersey (zone 6 that acts like a 5). I am not sure if I miss the smell or the look more?
If you have had luck growing lavender in a colder climate, I would love to know about it.
