Well, I’ve been watching my 7 year old cousin Sidney the past couple of days. well, nights, really. I took her home and put her to bed and got her up for school in the morning. My uncle went on a business trip for a few days. She’s pretty smart for a 7 year old, but she can also be pretty difficult. She’s very regimented due, I would expect, to living with her engineer father. So this morning I made her waffles the way she likes them and she got up but said she wasn’t hungry, I told her to get dressed, and when dressed she claimed that she still wasn’t hungry. She got her shoes and socks on and brushed her teeth and we left. When we were driving up to her school, right in front of it, on the street, she begins to say “I’m hungry”. Of course. I told her that it was too late, she missed breakfast. We were already in front of the school. She sat there whining for, like, 5 minutes saying that she was hungry before finally getting out and going into school.

Windows Install from Hallifax
My aunt bought Windows XP for her computer. I had agreed to go over to her place this morning around 10:00 and install it for her. I thought that this would be easy since I’ve installed Windows XP at least 10 times. Is it really possible to be sore from a computer upgrade?
I went over there all ready to do the install and get things set up. She had one old hard drive which was her boot drive and was only like 7 or 12 GB and another newer 60gb drive installed as the slave. I thought that the old drive would be too old and small, and so I decided I would just install it on the 60gb and set up the old one as a slave so she could get her files off of it.
You’ve probably figured out from the title that this did not go quite as planned.
Shiny, Pink, and Plays MP3s
yes, that’s right. I got one. I am now the proud owner of a Pink Ipod Mini. It’s very spiffy. I do have far more than 4gb of music, of course, and audio books but I figure that I don’t need to carry my whole library around with me. That’s what my hard drive is for. It’s plenty of space for what I’d want to have with me, though, and I love the tiny size and pretty pinkness of it. I’ve named mine Posy.
Dolling Like Mad
I went through a pixel dolling phase the past few days, and made a remarkable number of dolls in that time.

Blogging Mood
I haven’t been in a blogging mood in a while, and now I am and I can’t decide what to blog about. I want to post quotes, I want to do a meme, I want to post graphics I’ve made in my nonblogging time. I just can’t decide, and so I’m blogging about blogging. I use movabletype, and there are a few things to say about this. One is that I would like to upgrade to 3.0 sometime. The other is that I would like to be able to use smilies and post icons, and have not found successful methods for these. I have lots of smilies and lots of icons that I’d love to use. I also occasionally think about changing my blog layout, but I like this one so much.
Preferences
Tuesday Twosome
Do you prefer (pick the least annoying)…
1. Low carb/No carb or Low-fat dieting? low fat. The low-carb thing is insane. It’s taking over the world. It must be stopped.
2. Reality TV or Crime-solving Spin-offs (CSI:Miami, CSI: New York, L&O:SVU, L&O:Criminal Intent)? Crime-solving Spinoffs. Anything is better than reality tv.
3. Knee-high socks with tennis shoes or socks with sandals? ew. I guess with the shoes because, like, seriously, no one should wear socks with sandals. that’s just wrong.
4. Spam Emails or SPAM the “meat” product? I guess the meat product. at least that can just sit on your shelf and not bother you.
5. Long lines to a drive-thru or long lines to a public restroom? hmm. I’m not sure. I don’t like to go into public restrooms.
Another Medical Gameshow
I’ve been booked for a tradeshow as a vanna white type for a gameshow. A couple years ago I hosted a gameshow at a medical convention, so it all seems a bit familiar. Except this is at the LA convention center rather than Anaheim. I don’t know what the wardrobe or company is yet, but They’re paying decently and the hours are good but not ridicules. It’ll be the next three days.
Marriage
Just a reminder. This was taken from Easton’s Bible Dictionary.
Our Lord corrected many false notions then existing on the subject of marriage (Matt. 22:23-30), and placed it as a divine institution on the highest grounds. The apostles state clearly and enforce the nuptial duties of husband and wife (Eph. 5:22-33; Col. 3:18, 19; 1 Pet. 3:1-7). Marriage is said to be “honourable” (Heb. 13:4), and the prohibition of it is noted as one of the marks of degenerate times (1 Tim. 4:3). The marriage relation is used to represent the union between God and his people (Isa. 54:5; Jer. 3:1-14; Hos. 2:9, 20). In the New Testament the same figure is employed in representing the love of Christ to his saints (Eph. 5:25-27). The Church of the redeemed is the “Bride, the Lamb’s wife” (Rev. 19:7-9).
Glittery Creations
I made these today and yesterday.
aren’t they cute?
Frozen
Tuesday Twosome!
1. Ice cream or sherbet? ice cream
2. Two fave flavors of ice cream/sherbet: chocolate and strawberry
3. In a cone or cup: cone
4. One or two scoops: one
5. More painful: dropping your cone/cup or a brain freeze? dropping it. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a brain freeze. this is probably because I eat super slow.
