Tire Gauge

I just got the coolest toy for my birthday. A tire pressure gauge with a digital readout.....ooooh. Miles and I went to radio shack and couldn't resist. It came with a carrying case and everything.

The coolest part: It looks like a phaser.

A great way to end the day

Last night, after all the trees were up, Miles and Dad got out the guitar, drums, and shaker toys and we all sat around singing John Denver, 70's, and some old revival hymns.

All the opera in the world isn't more fun than that...

The untimely end of Frosty

The Untimely End of Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman is really morbid. "He knew that it was hot outside that day" so he ran and danced around anyway and melted, and said he'll be back again someday...

Freaking creepy...

This is the day

Today's the day. Our official meeting by the coffee pot begins at 8:45. And Jeff promised to be here at 9:16:32. Exactly.

We have to go get a new circuit board. Miles had put one together, but then burnt out the board when he tried to jump a component he didn't have. The new board should make our outside lights slash at intervals, with a switch to control the speed. Or something like that. About halfway through "jump wire if not using part b-32" I zoned out completely. It never ceases to amaze me how much thought Miles puts into our lights. He says it's because our house is on a hill, so it better look cool. I think the Logsdons get decorating out of their system at our place. They still put up lights and a tree at their place...

So, I'm off to the shower so I'm not late to the planning session.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy giving thanks to God by eating yourself into a coma!

So many people to kill, so little time

There is so much to do after being out of town for four months. I got my winter clothes out of boxes. Found my favorite pair of jeans and promptly ripped a hole in them. Found my bedding and a couple of things to take to California. Went shopping.

Now I'm on to the mundane. My ledger is updated, and my freedom account ledger also, but I haven't done my spending logs. My dept repayment schedule and payoff record are updated. My bills are paid. Now I have four months of sermons to recopy into my notebook...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, the next day decorating, one day to pack and hang out with friends, and I head out again on Sunday.

It will be good to be stationary for a bit. Once I get there, that is...

Merry Christmas to Me

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me....a little early

I just bought me, my cats, and Allie the New & Improved Litter Maid Self-Cleaning Litter Box. Designer Series. No More Scooping! Easy, Clean and Convenient! Eliminates Odors!

Some people get excited about computers. Nope. Not cleaning a litter box ever again pretty much makes my day.

Way cooler than I ever was

Way cooler than I ever was

My little sister, Allie, took my ReliantK CD away from me and has been listening to it. I may never get it back. She even did some head banging on one song, which works really well since her hair is down to her waist.

She stopped after a minute because "it kills brain cells and I need all mine..."

I've whittled over 1700 down to 608. How much does it cost per print?

We sure had a great time, though.

How long does it take

How long does it take to transfer 1700 pictures onto a computer? I'm finding out.

My poor, six-year-old laptop can't handle anything taking up that much memory. So I'm copying my CD to my parents' computer, editing it down some for scrapbooking, and then burning another CD (in theory -- my practical computer knowledge is limited. I'm sure there will be a snag somewhere).

Time to get a new computer. Maybe after next tour...
