A mixed bag of stuff

21. May 2008 by admin.

Ok, I gotta start off with some eye candy.  For those of you watching American Idol this season (and there haven’t been many) I have found what I’m looking for - David Cook!

Even if he doesn’t win (and that may be what is best for him and his career) he’ll get me to buy his album (shows my age).  Love him to pieces.

Ok, now real life.  Ugh.  As you know I’ve been working on a Shutterfly book for Shannon’s niece’s graduation.  I have about 20 pages done.  Some I really like and some are so so.  But I wanted to start playing around with them on the shutterfly site.  Well upon loading them in, I noticed that the colors look off.  So at work today I go back to the site and sure enough some of them are really, really dark.  The papers, the photos  you name it.  Seems the calibration on my laptop isn’t so hot.  Actually it’s too bright.  So basically everything I’ve scrapped for the past 2 months has been off.   Of course the pages that are really dark have been flattened so if I want to redo them, I have to do so from scratch.  Argggggg..

I’m pretty sure it’s the same in all states, but I can’t speak for other countries, but your car registration usually expires on your birthday.  That’s how it is in the state of Ohio.  Nice birthday present the state makes you buy yourself.  I of course, put it off to the last minute usually.  But thought I’d go ahead and pick them up today.  I made sure that I had a new book of checks since the BMV doesn’t take debit/credit cards.  In the state of Ohio, you have to show 2 forms of ID to do business with the BMV too.  I keep my social security card in my wallet.  It’s really about the only thing in there other than pictures.  All my credit cards and driver’s license is floating free in the side pocket of my purse.  Anyway something made me look for my social security card before I went to the BMV for lunch.  Guess what?  Don’t have the wallet.  Most likely it’s down at the camper where I ripped my purse apart looking for posion oak stuff over the weekend.  (that’s a whole nother story- ugh)  Ok don’t have what I need.  I had to order my tags and registration over the internet.  I’ll get it in 10 days.  My tags expired Thursday.

 Fate is a funny thing sometimes.  I usually go to the bank for work around 11:30ish.  Today for some reason I didn’t go until noon.  Got there and they closed for the day to do some community thing.  I don’t know what it was and didn’t remember seeing a sign for it but they were closed.  As I was pulling out  of my parking spot, a car pulled in.  Wow, she looks familiar.  It turned out to be a supervisor from where I used to work.  I haven’t seen her in about a year, maybe more.  She told me that one of the ladies I worked with there, her husband had passed away on Friday and the memorial service was this evening.  So I was able to go and offer my condolences and see a few people I hadn’t seen in awhile.  Fate, it a funny thing.  A total coincendence made a difference to her at this time in her life.

Ok, another bit*h minute.  In addition to my wallet, it seems that I left my cell phone down at the camper too.  Normally that would just be a minor inconvience and I could live without it.  But my cell number is the one my family calls cuz I don’t have the answering machine hooked up to my home phone.  It’s also my only long distance.  Now I won’t get any birthday calls.  I’m not in a good place right now.

This is what you get for reading through my complaints.  Template 126. 

So I have additional papers to go with the color scheme that Kristine gave me for our collab kit last week.  I kinda went a little crazy with the papers.  But now I’m not sure if I want to release them since my colors may be off.  I have to see what kind of preview I can come up with.  Check back for them tomorrow. (maybe)

Hope you all have a wonderful day.  Hope I can get to a better place too.
