Computer

I am teaching my computer to type as I speak.  Once I get the hang of this, it will make things faster.  I have programmed my computer to listen to only my voice.  It is taking some getting used to.  And still not sure how to change fonts and colors.

Laptop

I finished the baby blankie. Unfortunatly, baby and mother are gone so baby may never receive it. But someday she just might. Who knows. This was made from my brain. No pattern.

Laptop is home and back in action. It broke and had to visit Ontario. Was only gone 6 days, so Holla for Dell.

Done

I finished #3 son sweater. Yea me!

WHAT ?!?!

Guess what I just heard on the news..... go ahead......guess. A radio station in St. John's played the Dire Staits song 'money for nothing', someone was offended by one word in the song and complained to the point the song is now banned from radio in Canada. REALLY???  Used to be on the radio all the time. Want to know more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_for_Nothing_(song).
 I hear lots of songs on the radio that offend me, can I get them banned? Should I? NO! I turn the channel, turn it off, or make my own music to listen to. Sheesh. And why phone CRTC? Why not phone Mark Knopfler? He wrote the song. He sang it. SHEESH!
Rant over.

Kidlets are safely moved. Even in the snow and the cold and only #1 daught and I doing the moving. Now can I be normal. HAHAHAHAHA. Not likely.

Brrrrrrr

Itsa cold out there. Saw #1 daught's new place. Really nice. We move her tomorrow afternoon. Bitty baby growing well. Rolls herself over and wriggles around. Very happy girl. Sweater for boy not done. Too busy today and too tired last night. Am going to work on it now. TTFN

Big Headed Baby

AArgh. #3 son has a really big head. It wouldn't fit through the hole in the sweater. Good thing I checked before I went too far. Had to pull a little apart. Should finish sometime today. I can't believe how many people have gotten stuck in front of my house. Even a mini school bus this am. #1 daught and #1 grand baby move into their new apt this week. Hopefully we can get every one back on a schedule now.

Still here

So, the world hasn't ended yet. A big, fat, snow storm arrived. #1 son still had to go to work. I haven't finished the baby's new blankie yet, but I found pieces to a sweater I started for #1 son 8 yrs ago. It won't fit him now so I've decided to finish sweater for #3 son. Neck almost done, then sew pieces together, then take picture, then put on #3 son, then take picture, then put in closet till grandchild grows into it. Haha. #3 son might wear it. Who knows?
Made icebox cake tonight. Just like my gramma used to make. Made me miss her soooo much. Glad she taught to make that, everyone loves it. She also taught me to knit. My mom's a lefty and I'm not so mom couldn't teach me, so gramma did. She also taught me how to cook turkey, roast beef, and chicken. Can't make cookies like she did. She never used a receipe and I always use one for cookies. *sigh* Well, back to sweater now.

Birdies n' Fish

What is up with the birds? And those fish? If you watch a lot of movies (and I do), you could imagine LOTS of different things. The theories flying around kinda crack me up. Hundreds of little birdie heart attacks, all at once, from fire works??? Reeeaaallllyy. All of a sudden birds don't like loud noises? Tell that to the Alberta oil ponds who's boom cannons do nothing to keep them birds out. So what is it? Day After Tomorrow? Independence Day? The Core? Terrorists? Who really knows? If the world is ending..... I love you....goodnight.

Nice

So it snowed again. I shovelled my walk last night. Then I did my neighbours. Then I did her neighbour. Then I did the front of the next neighbour. Then I was old, tired, and stopped. I hope that by me doing some random act of kindness for them, they in turn, pay it forward to someone else. (Or maybe do my walk next time it snows, haha). It would be nice to make someones day. Plus the exercise is good. Well it seemed good last night. This morning stuff hurts.

Son #3 is getting his immunizations up to date today. We got a little behind due to moving 7 times in 4 years. Crazy yeah? So he'll be getting about 5 needles this am. Poor pinwheel. (that's what I call him) He had about 6 vials of blood drawn last spring so I know he can handle it. He's a tough kid.

Resolutions / Did you know?

New year's resolutions. Made any yet? Every year I try to do stuff which, in all reality, never gonna happen. Things like....I'm going to run a minimum of 4 days a week, an hour at a time. HA! Not likely since I broke the pin that keeps the treadmill "put away" and it is now put away with tuck tape. So I've decided to do more manageable, realistic stuff. Like write on this blog 3 times a week min. I will also vacuum my mattress once a month. I used to do that. Not sure why I stopped. I just finished vacuuming it, fresh sheets, fresh quilt and pillow cases. How snugly. Did you know I make my bed EVERY morning. I get up, do my ablutions, and make my bed. Then I sit on my bed with my laptop, drink my coffee and check e-mails and stuff. By the time I'm done coffee the day starts.
