| Apparently if you accidentally leave certain mp3 players plugged into the computer overnight, it will do its best to download your entire music library. Either that or I screwed up the synchronization. Basically, I have a new 2 g. mp3 player and I have no idea what music is on it lol

| There is a new Monkey Island game coming out soon. Hell yeah. Original Guybrush voice actor and everything. Pretty awesome, considering if we'd been more serious about doing it, one of our ideas for cake toppers was Guybrush and Elaine because well that's cool. Anyway, looky here! http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland

| Ok so I got a new vacuum. First time I used it, after 10 minutes it smelled like burnt rubber and found that the belt had snaped. Further investigation found that the end of one of the beaters had melted away. Sent it to be repaired, after almost a month later got it back and spent over an hour vacuuming and sucking up old cobwebs, it was great. Now, I turn it on and there's no suction except through the wand. redwings42 fiddles with it enough to get it working when not upright--except now the beaters only spin when it's on the barefloor setting. Huh? Thinking we're going to be bringing it back to Sears again *sigh* | comments: Leave a comment  |

| Yesterday, I patched up my second wounded teenager in the almost-year I've worked at our library. I ended up improvising with a paper towel just so she could stop bleeding on her ripped jeans and so dirt wouldn't get in. Turns out she needed to get 10 stitches, youch! I'm glad I was there, the last time a kid got hurt the clerk on duty told him there wasn't anything we could do for him. I STILL fume when I think of that!
I'm really looking forward to being able to shift my nonfiction. I know, not something you usually hear but dammit it gets me away from my desk!!! I really am debating taking some desk hours, but my availability changes constantly, so some days it would get in the way while other days it wouldn't. I also really need to start writing down who I talk to about certain things--need to contact a school about an upcoming visit, but am hesitating because I'm not sure who I was talking to before! Silly me.
Need to eat dinner and then shop for storytime craft supplies and birthday presents. Oooh and once redwings42 is awake we can open the giant box in the middle of the living room!
See why I don't update? ;-)

| Know what's hilarious? 6'4" guy trying to balance on one foot on the Wii Fit. Ugh and he's 22, how irritating.

| Awesome quote of the day: "Well, I have jet red hair and my sister is special 'cause her's is jet brown!"
In other news, Spring Break is finally over, and I can go back to my normal stress levels. Oh, except I need to finish my summer reading descriptions, and find another program for the kids' program Eek!

| Phew, things are getting done on the wedding front. We're planning to send out invites sometime Monday. Only missing 5 addresses, which doesn't seem too bad, though most of them are my family members. Yeah my stress this past week was from these addresses, too. I would email my dad and ask him to send me their addresses. What did he send? Their email addresses. Even after I laid out the exact reasons why I need these addresses, why it would be very helpful if he just got them for me, since it would be two less emails to write. Then, last night, after I sucked it up and sent the emails? I get an email from him, saying he'll email them for their addresses. Argh!
Yesterday, I also called the person I most want as our officiant--and he said yes. Yay! So that's one more thing done. redwings42's mother gave us an ad for a sale at a local jeweller's, so we will be going to look at rings once the sale starts. It was the same place we'd been looking before, so perfect! She's also helping with the cake and the rehearsal dinner, so a few less things for me to freak out about. Today, I might be going to florists with redwings42's cousin, so thtat'll be another thing taken care of, or at least started lol Then, are major things will be calling the Glen Loch to talk about the menu, and renting tables and chairs. Oh and I need to update our wedding website. Kind of makes me wish I was marrying a webmaster-type geek LOL
So while stuffing invitations, I did discover one problem, which is thankfully a small one. Managed to leave the RSVP as April 6, instead of later in the month like we'd decided. Ooops! Guess this means I'll just be getting responses sooner? ;-)
Anyway, I wish I could have invited everyone I wanted to. However, the number of people is almost too big as it is. Here's to hoping I don't get a shyness attack and can enjoy seeing everyone instead! If nothing else, I'll just make sure they put up that volleyball net, so I can just start a game whenever I start to feel overwhelmed lol

| redwings42 just accidentally *washed* the floor with mom's homemade laundry detergeant. This probably wouldn't be as funny if I wasn't so sleep deprived...

| I am so mentally and physically exhausted. Really, I didn't need all of today's crap to make me appreciate my vacation anymore, I was all ready to appreciate it quite fine!

| I really need to pull the Wii out more often for my teens. Had a blast screaming at each other trying to play Sonic and Mario Olympics. Also learned to my amusement and slight worry that one of my fav kids has a super competetive side, to the tune of "Ha ha you lost!" Gotta fix that better than with A's method of throwing checker pieces at him.... Was a good end of the week.

This is a song my mom and dad wrote, with dad singing and playing guitar and harmonica. Ignore the typo, the song is actually called "Everyone" but um that's my dad lol He submitted it to ourstage.com and he's all the way up to #14 on the folk charts! Yay!
