Waahhh!!!

The video card died in my laptop. I have a brick until the Dell Tech can schedule to come out and replace it. I'm not happy owning a brick. Happily, my Wonderful Husband had a computer that he is willing to let me use. But it is just not the same. The same applications aren't loaded, the configuration aren't the same and so on.

Drat. I want the tech to call tomorrow and repair my laptop yesterday. But I'm never happy when my laptop is down. That's why I have on-site service.

Deleting Pictures?

Yep, I'm actually deleting photos. We had put in offers for two different houses. The first one hasn't turned into a signed contract and the second one had a seller who was lying badly. So we aren't getting those houses.

I had taken pictures of the houses inside and out, so I could look at the rooms and plan. But since we aren't getting those houses, I don't want to keep the pictures.

It feels odd to be deleting pictures. I don't do that very often.

Yanno?

A link to your store is not going to be confused with a link to the blog you don't have. Just in case you thought folks might not notice? I noticed. Blogs might contain information about and links to items for sale. But S*H*O*P and B*L*O*G only share an O. Nothing else.

Local Stamping Store

I found another stamping store in Jacksonville. Only they aren't really a stamping store, they are an altered art, ATC store that sells stamps. I won't shop there a lot. The owner was running a class and also running the register. I had to get her attention first to find the Alcohol inks that we had called about and then to actually pay for them.

I can't get into altered art or ATCs and I don't understand them. I'm not that kind of an artist.

Frozen Molasses

Ugh. Why I decided I had to download a digital scrapping kit, I'll never know. Dial-up connections are so slow. How slow is it? Instead of seeing triple digit download speeds, I'm seeing single digit speeds.

Yawn.

I can unzip, sort and tag files faster than I can download them.

Storage

I was at the storage unit today and I started pulling things together to work on a paper project. I decided that it wasn't worth the hassle and put the few things I'd pulled out back into their boxes. I left with some needlework stuff and my crop tool tote. Not having tools with me is akin to a sin. I can scrape by with my Swiss army knife, but I'd rather have a larger selection.

I'm just not willing to pull my paper stuff out of storage to work on it right now. I'm much more interested in this house purchase at the moment.

No Time to Create

I drove to Florida on Friday and had time to spend with Wonderful Husband on Saturday and Sunday. What with putting things into storage, house hunting, and visiting friends, I haven't had time to do any creating. I also don't want to get stuff out of storage, work on it for a while and then put it back into storage.

I'm looking forward to being able to move into our new place. We are expecting to move in during the first week of March. Sometimes I create things and sometimes I create order. I am really looking forward to the decoration and organization of the house itself and that will get done first.
