Congrats Bucs!

Tampa 48 Oakland 21 … wow… uhhhh.. errr. wow

What is wrong with Oakland? It’s like they aren’t even playing. I am not really cheering for either of them, but it would be nice if both teams played their best. (Ok, so I’m cheering for Tampa, but it’s a personal thing… and because they’re the little guys, so to speak.)

I broke out the knitting needles and yarn. I am getting the hang of it. I think I am just tired every time I start it.

Time for sleep. Superbowl tomorrow. Must clean up and get fud. It’s just going to be family (sans mom who is visiting her family) so it’s not anything fancy.

Run for your life… The freaking dishwasher just threw sparks out at me! What the fudge is up with that? I give up. It’s apparently about 10 years old, so I’m figuring it needs to be replaced, especially if it’s sparking. I’m just glad one of the kids wasn’t walking by it at the time. It could have seriously hurt one of them. I was about a foot to the left of it and felt some sparks hit my arm.

Skittles is sitting on my mouse trying to get me to feed her. She’s got another three and a half hours until it’s food time. Cats, sheesh.

:yawn I should be asleep, but we are sitting here waiting and awake to take my mom to the airport… It’s 36F outside, burr. I am so going back to bed when we get home.

I got 809ed. I mean come on people! Give me a break.

Getting dizzy.. can’t even eat my yummy egg roll. Hope I’m not getting ill, that would suck.

You know what’s funny… I’ve been keeping a journal online since 1995. In July it will be eight whole years! Whoa. I lost everything before 1997 and some of 1997-98 when my old computer Bessie died. Complete failure. I tried the web archive but it didn’t have those. I’m wondering if there is anything at my parents that might have them on. I had been keeping a copy on floppies in 1995-96, but I never found it.

Hmmm. They do have my first laptop… the one that you need a floppy to boot up with (and it still works I should add). I wouldn’t put it past my mother if we still had our Atari.. she loved that game. All we needed was the tv convertor but nooo, my brother had to have a Nintendo. /sigh I hated Nintendo, I was only ever good at Goonies.

Darn it… I missed getting the small pox vaccination as a child. I was going through my old medical files and I apparently was too young to get it that last time I would have needed it. /sigh

Mom is heading to see her folks in the morning, so we’re taking her. My dad will need his sleep.

Nell… has passed.

Well, it’s been busy around here. I had Brittany over yesterday and last night so she could concentrate on her book report. She finished it yesterday and now has to do the project for it. She has to make a movie poster that will make people want to come to see her movie [book]. She’s been learning how to use Photoshop a lot lately along with the tablet and is getting pretty good. It would have been cool if she could have done it all on the computer, but it’s supposed to be handdrawn on posterboard. /sigh

My niece Shalyn is also getting pretty good with the tablet. I opened paint for her (I don’t want to start her on Photoshop yet, she’s only 4) and I came back a few minutes later and she had drawn grass with a little girl standing in it. I saved it somewhere. She definately takes after her father. My brother has always been a good artist.

I decided to create a little Gollum desktop. Isn’t he just adorable. :biggrin
I think I spent about 15 minutes on it, so it’s not perfect, but it will do. I’ll probably work on an Aston Shell theme for it later. I have some other ideas for the image, but it’s good for now.
