(Jackson showing that he is tough even with a cast. Pose was his idea.)
Well, so much for a mini-vacation. If it makes anybody feel better, Max stepped all over my pedicure and Hubby got the stomach flu on our only night away. I did find some good deals shopping which almost made up for the smell in our hotel room. Well, not really. Anyway, mi madre reminded me that I have not posted pics of Jackson's cast. I have noticed my posts have been a bit "inward" (nice word for narcissistic) lately. So I'm going to devote the rest of whatever comes out of my brain to my crazy, little-man Jackson.
Okay, so Jackson broke his foot. NO, I did not lose my temper and abuse him. Although that might be more believable than the truth: he was jumping off my dresser with his buddy onto my carpeted floor. I know, weird. He must of landed on his foot funny because it is fractured in two places. He says he won't jump off my dresser anymore but a couple days after he got his cast, I found him sitting on our back wall--at least, five feet off the ground and a lot higher than my dresser, may I add. (!) He came in a couple of days ago from playing outside with his friends and told me he had a surprise for me. The surprise was that he could ride his bike with his cast. Oh, joy. Needless to say, the cast has not slowed him down or made him more cautious. I've decided to set up a special savings account in his name and put money towards it every month to pay for all his broken limbs or to buy an ankle bracelet like the convicts wear. Or maybe one of those big balls with the chains--hmm, I'm liking that idea. Did I mention his little escapade cost me $346?
We went to the pony farm today. For a couple of days now, Jackson has been warning me that we would see a bullion (pronounced like the cube, rhymes with trillion). When I explained I had never heard of such and animal he proceeded to tell me that was because it bites grown-ups but not little kids. He told me that I should wait at the gate to avoid getting bitten. He was very concerned about this bullion biting me. He mentioned it to me several times. I am relieved to tell you that the dreaded bullion never made an appearance and I survived the experience bite-free. Although, I did get some manure on me and my white (what was I thinking?) sweater. Thanks Max.
Since I am just a recreational blogger, I am not embarrassed to admit that I have no idea what I am doing. I would love to be able to make my pictures go where I want them. Anyone?

Sorry about Jackson, broken bones are the pits! How long will he be in the cast? Thank goodness for waterproof casts now, makes it SOOO much easier!
Where do you want your pictures to go?
luvs, aby
Sounds like him and Buggie would get along great. I'm so laughing at the ankle bracelet thing because I just posted on FB that I've been thinking that I need a shock collar and electric fence for Buggie. He escapes all the time and thinks it's hilarious to dart out in the street. What's worse? Death or a little shock? :)
Sorry about the vac cay thing. At least it wasn't you smelling up the room!!
I always choose large and center for my pics. That seems to be the easiest way to make them look normal.
Aby, I want to be able to type, insert a picture in the middle of my text and then type some more. Also, I'd like to know how to make a collage of pics. Any ideas?
What I do is cut and paste. When you download a oic it always goes start to the top. So I just highlight it, cut, and then past it where I want it.
Also for my collages I use Picasa 3Editing. You can download it for free. Just google it to find it. It took a little playing to figure it our but it's great. You can make collages and edit your pics for free.
I hope this is helpful. I'm no pro blogger, but if you have anymore questions just ask. :)
