I haven't been to Six Flags for a few years, but now I may go just to check out the revamp on the Texas Giant. The roller coater has been closed since summer of 2009 for 'undislosed reasons'. I'm assuming that they were having to rebuild it due to the wood getting old. From looking at the new pictures coming out of the park, the structure seems to be entirely metal that's been made to look like wood...sorta like The Grizzly over at Kings Dominion. Here's the first POV from one of the test runs:I've ridden that thing I don't know how many times over the years, but DAMN....they made the drop a little bigger! Other than the changes to the drop, it looks like some of the track layout is different. I also noticed that it's no where near as shakey as it used to be; another sign that they switched to metal.

Product Review – StickerYou.com
StickerYou.com is a company that let's you make your own stickers. You can upload your own design, create a design with their Sticker Maker, or choose from tons of images readily available on their site. The stickers are die cut vinyl, and are easily removable. Most of the pictures I choose were from the baby section, and I was able to size them how I wanted...thus filling up the sheet. I used the Sticker Maker to create a sticker with the blog name on it. I used one of the images and placed text on top of it. The interface program is very easy to use, and I had my sheet created in a matter of minutes. The quality is exceptional, and I look forward to ordering more from them again soon. Single sheets are $8.99 (plus shipping/handling). The more you order, the cheaper it is. Standard shipping takes about five to fourteen days; I got mine in about seven. If your needing stickers or labels, then I definitely recommend them. You can check them out on their website, as well as ...

I must have this for my flower bed!!!!
I always enjoy putting odd things in my front flower beds. I've got a mooning gnome and a squating one. I also had one of those battery powered dog that looked like it was half burried and would activate when you walked past it. I had to toss it though because it stopped working.Anyway, I was just browsing around on Amazon and saw the Travelocity Gnome for sale. I'm going to start hinting around for it so maybe Jason will order one. Our anniversary is next month after all... ...
Croc Found in Texas River
I just got this email, and thought I would share it with you:"Croc found in the BRAZOS RIVER! Straight out of Texas Fish & Game Mag!! Verified by TPWD! This photo was taken in Fort Bend County near the Brazoria County line. I dont think it has been computer altered - the image looks real. I don't usually forward these things because so many are fake, but this one appears legit!!!! This definitely isn't Photo shopped!!!! See pic below!HA! Not as funny as Trampoline Bear though. ...
