    puzzles & such

    A couple of days ago we passed a homeless man on the side of the road, with his dog. We were stopped at the light and Chase asked if I had any cash – I didn’t. A few weeks ago Chase cleaned out my car, and put all of my change in my cup holders (I don’t have a change…

    Random geeky thoughts

    So I still haven’t finished Season 4 of Doctor Who. We watched half of “Stolen Earth” last week and that’s the last we’ve seen. Between New Year’s and being sick we just haven’t felt up to it – that and I knowing there’s not much left makes me sad and makes me want to stretch it out LOL But I…

    harry potter sims!

    I started typing up one of those “end of the year” meme things, but every answer was “I don’t know” or some random unimportant thing, so I deleted it. 2010 was fun but not very interesting, I guess. My vacation is over, back to work today. 🙁 I was sick the better part of the weekend, too, which sucked, and…

    New Year’s Eve

    Cleaning up Christmas decorations today, and going to eat at my fav place tonight!! (Melting Pot) And then friends coming over later tonight 🙂 I’ve been trying to use my tumblr more lately. As you can see I’ve had it since Nov 2009 and have hardly messed with it. Trying to post more – mostly random stuff off my flickr…

    Merry Christmas 2010, a week later

    Sorry I haven’t posted since last week! Obviously Christmas kept me busy, and then it was back to work. I have the next two days, the weekend, and Monday off. I’m super excited about that. I’m staying home, chilling, doing some artwork, some puzzles and some sewing. So here’s the recap. Friday was Christmas with the bigger side of my…

    My fav photos of 2010

    I don’t think I did a Year in Photos last year. Maybe I did, I’m too lazy to look. But I went through and added my favourite pictures from this year to a flickr set. I’m not going to post them all here, but here’s a sampling. In January I went to New York… In February I made a snowman…

    Christmas Shopping

    We’ve been busy! Friday night after work, we went out to eat and then ran over to Oak Court mall. I’ve always loved that mall but we don’t get over there very often. We had 2 things on the agenda: christmas presents, and also, new clothes for Chase. He’s wanting to get a few more “professional” looking things, for lack…

    christmas meme!

    1. Eggnog or Hot Chocolate? I don’t really care for hot chocolate, but since I’ve never had eggnog, I’ll have to go with hot chocolate. 2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? When I as little Santa sat them under the tree. Now we wrap everything unless it’s too big. (No kids to surprise.) 3.…

    thanks for the help, facebook

    My flickr posts aren’t posting on my facebook anymore, and with the new profile I can’t figure out where to look to see what’s going on. So I headed to the facebook help section, and this is what I find: “Flickr stories are no longer importing to my Wall. Some users are finding that Flickr stories are no longer importing…

    snape, snape, severus snape

    Last night Chase & I had a date night, went out to eat, and finally saw Harry Potter. I know, I waited long enough, right? It was great. Admittedly I have not read Deathly Hallows since the day it came out (stayed up all night and read it in one go) so I don’t have a great idea of how…

    Kevin’s Fairy Tale Theater

    Today at work I was sleepy and told Kevin to tell me some stories to keep me awake. He kept stalling and saying he “couldn’t remember” so I just kept pushing him and telling him to make it up if he didn’t remember. This is what he came up with. Kevin’s “The Little Mermaid”: There was a little mermaid named…

    Sewing Room updates

    I worked on my office last night, mostly organizing my patterns. I had too many that were in large ziplock baggies so I spent the evening squishing pattern pieces into my usual smaller baggies. Then I put them all away in my new bench! They didn’t all fit, though 🙁 But I got the majority of them in there. They…

    Decorating & Christmas shopping

    Friday night Chase and I decorated the house. Chase put up the tree while I put out everything else, we had Elf on the TV and I baked some cookies. It was fun 🙂 Here’s a few crappy cell phone pics. Not a lot new on the tree this year. Nothing geeky (didn’t see any we had to have from…

    jerkwad puzzle

    So now that the coke puzzle is done, it’s moved off the table and I opened up this thing: I have NO IDEA how long I’ve had this puzzle. Years. Probably since the OT was rereleased in the theaters – 97? (yep, just went and looked and it’s from 1997). I must have picked it up at the comic book…

    Coca-cola puzzle!

    This one went WAY too fast. But I like it a lot, I think we’re going to put it up in the hall bathroom after I glue it. I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Decorating the house tomorrow, christmas shopping this weekend… yay 🙂 I’ve uploaded some old videos to youtube, they’re all from like 2004-2006 because…

    Photoshoot pics + puzzle!

    I put Donna Troy & Sleeping Beauty up today: I’m a little annoyed that people are IGNORING my puzzle pics on flickr, and instead looking at and commenting on stupid costume pics! So here, LOOK at my puzzle pics!!!!!!! Man I can’t believe people aren’t going crazy over these puzzle pics. Tomorrow is thanksgiving. I am thankful for my husband,…

    colorforms

    “Shrinkydinks” were just mentioned on my twitter – I had a few of those, but what I really loved were my Colorforms. I can’t find pics of the She-Ra or Rainbow Brite sets I had. Those were so awesome… but I found a pic of Smurfs set I had. Man… I know they’re still in my parent’s attic, but that’s…

    Food I Don’t Like

    1. Pizza I grew up in the “OMG PIZZA” crazy 80s when every kid wanted to eat pizza non-stop because of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I mean seriously, every class party or post-sporting event… pizza. Usually Pizza Hut. Even then I didn’t care all that much for it but I ate it because it was cool, because the Turtles…

    come to the dark sides, what’s up with cookies

    Am I the only person who doesn’t get the whole “Come to the dark side, we have cookies” thing? I mean the first two or three times I heard it, it was kinda cute. Not really worth repeating. But I hear people say it alllll the time, it’s on like 30 different shirts. Why? I just don’t get the why…

    computers & movies

    Yesterday I finally got some new RAM for my computer which needed it BADLY. I got to enjoy it for about an hour this morning – Chase let Windows do its updates (which I never let it) when he installed the RAM, and so I think it was still installing stuff while I was gone all day. I get home…
