I just woke up from a 5 minute nap. I am trying to cram in as many Lynda.com tutorials as I can until the 23rd. I would make a horrible student. While I for the most part can live quite effectively on 6 hour of sleep and rarely nap, put me in front of someone trying to teach me something or a text book, I am out lickety-split! I don’t know how Sherry is doing it.<\/p>\n
Yesterday while watching CBS Sunday Morning I discovered the virtual toast app call Toast It! (or something like that, I don’t have it in front of me). It is an app for my iPod touch that makes toast and lets you put on yummy (and not so yummy) toppings. I can now have my peanutbutter english muffin every day and not get fat!<\/p>\n
Why I am bringing this up is because while playing with this silly little app I realized my video art projects don’t have to be so serious like I think I was envisioning with the poetry and such but quirky and fun like the storyboard I developed yesterday called Ode to Toast.<\/p>\n
This weekend I spent lots of money online shopping. I have 10 packages coming soon and only one of them is a Christmas present. While I have a cool new watch coming and some Fiestaware dishes I couldn’t find in the stores coming, most of what I am expecting is printer related, ink for 2 printers and 13×19 card stock. Yes it is that time of year to gear up for the Christmas card and calendars! Seriously though, I am getting tired of putting the amount of money I have to for that printer. Next year I will have to rethink how I output the annual card and calendars.<\/p>\n
My kid is spoiled. I am getting her addicted to having the cool, funky and fun stuff. This weekend we were on the hunt for an Ugly Doll, more specifically Ugly Dog. I don’t think I am sending the right message about wanting and getting stuff. I am sure I am messing up my kid. While I am reinventing myself in other ways, I need to do something about my parenting or teaching moments. I sense I could get heavy here with this topic and I need to but not in this quick post. Remember I just woke up.<\/p>\n
Today went to Steak n Shake with Joann and her cronies. We went last week for Deb’s birthday and this week for Marilyn’s. Last week after some research I found the most WW point friendly meal that I had any interest in eating. I was looking forward to eating it again a week later. Wouldn’t ya know they changed the menus within the week and my burger wasn’t on it any longer! They made me one anyway but sheesh.<\/p>\n
