May. Suxx0rs so far. Cold and wet. /le sigh
I'm
bumping up the update by one day. My internet connection is up...then
down...then up....then down the last few days. DRIVING ME BATTY. I seem
to go through spats like this every other month. /more sighing An extra day will give me some buffer room for uploading stuff.
On
the bright side (hardy har harrr), the power was out again the other
day (third time in two weeks) but it didn't fry any of the electronics
so no bitching from me. Last week, it fried my printer good and killed
him. I mean, I hated his cheap slow ass with the intense burning of a
white hot sun but *I* like to decide when to replace something around
here - not have Mother Nature do it for me. I don't appreciate large
unplanned purchases. Pfffttt. (My new printer is awfully shiny and,
mmmm, complicated-in-a-good-way though.)
I was a bad, baaaaad girl this morning and scooped up another ice cream machine from Amazon. Yes - another. Because I already have one. But David
posted about a $20 Cuisinart special this morning and they go for $70+
normally so I snapped that puppy up. (Along with a whole bunch of other
people too because I see they are sold out now.) I probably won't use
it but that's okay. My MIL would probably enjoy it if I don't want to
keep it. For $20 who cares, right? That was way too good a deal to pass
up. :)
My Super Duper Not-so-Secret Birthday project, 13 cd's and about 20 hours or work later, is now complete. Twelve studio albums, perfectly
remastered and digitized, including all original artwork/liner notes
and extras like studio outtakes ,etc. Don't really love them myself,
but he's been in a constant state of happy agitation since I started
the project because *he* loves them so it's all good. Now I just need
to get started on the Birthday Cupcakes: Chocolate Graham Cracker cupcakes
from the Martha Stewart show. Saw these a few weeks ago and they are
yummy but super-decadent and not for every day baking, yanno? But just
perfect for a BIRTHDAY. :)
