on another note, my office printer ran out of ink, so now i have to use the printer in the back to do anything. that thing is so old. and i just had a 20 min fight with it just now......... and lost :(
Call wwjd_kilden. I heard she will always magically know how to fix any printer with nothing more than a verbal description of how irritated you are. She doesn't even need the printer's model #. Right, kilden?
 
whenever i have a problem with a printer or computer, i just tell my boss i'll chuck the item out the window!!!!!! i never do it, but maybe one day.... one day!

even though we're in a one-story building............
 
I shouldn't have made my Lindsey Stirling live review quite so long. I don't think anyone has read it. But then again, you can't reduce the whole experience to a few hundred words.
 
I'd like to get back into music. Not professionally, but I did practice religiously from about the age of 14 to 18. It's a good pastime, and while I'm a far cry from being a virtuoso, I was good enough to learn some songs that weren't simple in structure or technical capacity. Even if I don't play with anyone, I think I'm going to save some money for a new guitar and a new bass guitar, maybe even a keyboard later on down the road, and really dive back in.

I'm good at skimming. I love Lindsey Stirling. How awesome it must have been! And I share your abhorrence of phone-filming at concerts.

I actually read it! It sounds like it would have been fun, but it also reminds me of my experience at my birthday concert. At concerts, Christian or non, I'm finding more and more people don't care about the consequences of their actions. Especially at Christian concerts. Praising His name one moment pushing elbows and just outright being rude the next moment.

Awww, Aimee... I don't know about a punch (I could only do that if I were really mad at someone :D and I'm not mad at you), but how about a hug instead? :)

By the way, I love that picture of you. The hat and glasses are just way too adorable!
 
:rolleyes:

This sounds like most places these days. You should get Aimee to show them some decency by having her punch them in the face.

*Lynx perks up.

Someone say music? Where? Where?

If you're gonna do it, do it right. Get a Micport, a Centrance Micport. It's a single channel 1/4 inch input that USB connects to your computer. There are cheaper knockoffs but a Centrance gives an awesome clean signal. Then in your computer you can mess around with any FX you can think of and a few you can't imagine, and they're all freeeeeeeee!

Actually I mentioned using a computer for FX to a friend who's a guitar nut so he tried it. He was getting sounds that had me perplexed, and I'm the one who lined up the FX for him to try.
 
Wow, it's been a while since I've been on here... Time flies when you're a mommy.
For those of you that missed me, I'm doing alright (less so today, but that will be part of the rant that I'm planning on posting after my greeting). My little girl is 1 year old now (15 months). I'm expecting my second not long after she turns 2.

Right now though, I'm dealing with a very hard week (or month, if you spread it all out). I found out that the lease on our apartment is over the very DAY my second baby is due. Being a mom, that stresses me out, thinking we might not have a home for my little one to come to. I can't stand the thought of having to live at someone else's house until we find a place either. So I was looking for places to move to, and the first few I found didn't work out, I continued to look at it in a positive light, and believe that God was just preparing a better place for us. That was before today. Last week, I found a house that was beyond perfect for our little family, and I went out of my way to go look at it, get the application for it, and to run it back to them in time, before the deadline. My husband I felt really good about it; we thought that God had finally brought us the perfect home. Today, the lady called me and told me that she had decided to give it to someone else.
I have spent all day being mad at God (and feeling terrible for being mad at Him at the same time). But I can't really see anything getting better than what that house would have been for us. That house was perfect, close to family, just enough room, pet friendly, etc. This whole time, I kept telling myself that God was preparing something better, and now I can't see how He's going to get any better than perfect.
So I spent all day praying (half of the day was spent asking God why He would do this to me, the other half was spent telling Him I'm sorry for being so mad at Him). My only conclusion is, he has something better, and its coming.
On top of my house problems, I have medical insurance problems that I need to sort out before my next prenatal appointment, but hopefully everything that can go wrong, won't go wrong. I did ask God to help me trust Him... I hope He doesn't test me on that with the medical stuff.
 
Ooh! Ooh! You can totally replace the buttons! It's really easy, I promise! Something silver would look great! I'm nerding out again! Be sure to take the coat with you so you can audition buttons at the fabric store and make sure they're the right size for the button holes!

I'll stop, I'll stop. But really. :D

Ha! Audition buttons. I actually think I have 2 of the buttons...somewhere? I like the word button.

My kitchen is a disaster. Dishes everywhere, mainly from this weekend when my sis and bro-in-law visited that I still haven't cleaned up. I hate doing the dishes so much. I would rather sweep, mop, do laundry, and clean the bathroom than do dishes. Something about it I just hate. I think it's the standing there. The other things I can sort of move around, but it's just so boring to stand there and wash dishes. I don't have a dishwasher, but even when I did I still hated them.

Yes, I have strong feelings about dishes.
 
I just want to sleep but my back hurts and my dog is taking up my entire sleeping space.
.......he knows i'm posting this and he smiles with a sly smile. lol
 
I have been reading about LSD for one of my classes most of today. There are just some things you just never thought you would have a desire to know.

I hate dishes with a fiery passion. I really hope if I get married, it'll be someone who doesn't mind doing the dishes. Tomorrow is my night to do dishes, and I'm already dreading it. >.<
 
A big thank you to the people who did skim/read my Lindsey Stirling review. I know it's like I was fishing for an audience, but sometimes it's good to know there is one and I'm not just writing reviews because I thoroughly enjoy them. :) ('The Great' section is the only part about the awesomeness of Lindsey and her gang).

For those who aren't familiar with her music, please check it out on YouTube. She's awesome (no, I'm not biased and no, I'm not smitten). Haha!

People might freak when they see the food menu for the next two weeks. I made sure to keep a few normal things on there to keep them from going into complete shock.


I dunno. I'm just feeling extreme discontent with the way I'm living my life. I'm done living it like this, and I'm just ready to do something different, be different, and I don't care what I have to do to get there.
 
what's the point of doctors appointments when they make you wait a week?

*sits in a corner and chews painkillers (something I rarely do).

I think I have sinusitis, any tips for how to relieve the ugh feeling apart from pills and comfort food? :p
