The last Saturday of the year

29. December 2007 by admin.

How weird does that sound? The last Saturday. That means that tomorrow is the last day this year I have to sleep in. Do you think it’ll happen? Me neither. I can never sleep in and rarely oversleep. Heck I feel like I rarely get any sleep, I’m always tired. But I’m in bed by 11 each night usually. Oh well.

So I’ve been horribly neglecting my CT duties pretty much since my vacation in November. I’m truly surprised that I haven’t been fired, lol. I used to be a great cheerleader. Now I feel like football season is over and I can’t get in the groove for basketball season. (analogy, I hate basketball in real life) I haven’t even talked with 2 of my designers since mid month. I have no idea what they’ve got going on. (In my defense, I haven’t really heard from them either). But that’s not an excuse. Lost mojo, lost spirit? I don’t know what my problem is. But I’m hoping that the New Year will bring it all back to me.

Let me show you the final page I switched around for SIL’s parents calendar. I think I like how it turned out.

Also one last picture to show you from Christmas morning, for now. I bought each of the girls these adorable hand painted shirts at a big holiday craft show. They say “My Auntie loves me” on them. Very self indulgent of me. I’m hoping that my brother can figure out a way to get a better picture of them so you can see it. Being that I’m 200 miles away and don’t see them as often as I wish, I am always trying to remind them that Aunt Diane loves them.

Oh yeah, the reason for my mentioning my shortcomings as a CT member. There’s gonna be a New Years Eve chat at DST. I’m not sure if it’s an all night thing, but Heather’s hosting the 11 pm EST time slot. Giveaways and goodies galore. So if you’re like the hundreds of us that won’t be going out for whatever your reasoning, I hope you’ll pop in to Heather’s chat. I’m pretty sure that the old man will be asleep by then so I’ll be free to spend the time with my friends. We stay home every year; 1) cheaper, 2) avoid the amateur drunks on the road 3) avoid being a drunk on the road. This will be our 9th New Years Eve together. The first one, we’d only been dating like 2 weeks so he went all out. The next year I worked til like 10 and we got into a fight at the bar and the 3rd year we went to a nice dinner with his cousin. Every year since then it’s stay home or work for the overtime. We cook ourselves a nice steak & seafood dinner and do nothing. OMG how boring have we become????????? Well, safe is better than boring.

Ok, he’s up and I’m about to play let’s make a deal for Guitar Hero. Wish me luck. Enjoy your day and scrap happy.

Great deals on printer ink cartridges

29. December 2007 by admin.

If you’re anything like me, you love to print photos and layouts out on your own printer. Just to have a copy, even if it’s not professional grade quality. After all, not every layout needs a professional print. But that takes a lot of ink and I find myself going through it very quickly. It’s always sticker shock for me to go into a store, even that discount mega store to grab a new ink cartridge. I found this site, Inkjetdeals.info and wanted to share it with you. It lists several online stores that offer deep discounts on ink cartridges. It also list coupons that are available for the different stores. I also liked that it has several articles of interest about ink cartridges and printers. My particular favorite was Seven Tips for Saving Ink. Check it out, buy compatible printer ink cartridges, and plan ahead for your ink refill needs. I’m glad I did.

My brain is 43% fried

29. December 2007 by admin.

So I took this quiz to see how creative my brain is. I guess I know now why I have no mojo. I have little creativity left in my brain. I think it all leaked out. You try it, it’s weird.

“Synesthesia is the overlapping of the senses. Have you ever pictured a number in your head and noticed that it has a certain color? For someone with synesthesia, senses like sight and sound often cross over into one another and create involuntary assocations. Synesthesia is very common among artists, musicians, and other creative individuals. This 8 question quiz will test how cross-wired your senses are.”
