Final 10!

May 14, 2007

I got halfway through a post yesterday when Emily woke up and the rest of the day was shot. I went back to my post this morning, but found it to be rather boring so I deleted it and we are starting fresh.

Emily has the worst attitude today. Its crazy. She keeps freaking out over dumb stuff. Dealing with Toddler temper tantrums isn’t very fun. I’ve read so many different ways to deal with them, but I haven’t found something that fits us yet. Thankfully its nap time and I get a few moments reprieve. Grr. I think she’s waking up again. What is this?? AHH!
I have been overhauling my house. It was in serious need of a good cleaning. I’m going away for the long weekend and my in-laws are staying with Emily so I wanted to make sure the place wasn’t icky and cluttery. Man its relaxing to walk around in a clean house. I think I’ll even clean out the fridge today. I spilled a box of baking soda everywhere and I’ve been putting off cleaning it up. It looks like it snowed in my fridge. Or like a snow globe that has yet to be shaken.

Perfect segue into…

Sylar on last weeks Heroes. Its ok if you didn’t see it cause Sylar went psycho and killed his mom. Who does that. Seriously. I’m stoked for Heroes tonight. Only 2 episodes left. This is the only TV show Ive ever watched that I haven’t missed an episode. YAY for Tivo! Thats not true. Morgan rented the first season of 24 and I watched all of that. Loved/Hated it.

Oh yeah and guess who won the challenge at my gym. ME! I lost the most inches at the gym in the last 2 month. I won some candles. oooo. Plus even tho the last 2 weeks didn’t go so great I still lost a pound. I’m in the final 10 baby yeah!! I know everyone says those are the hardest, but I didn’t do so great on the last ten and now I’m back in the game. I’m pretty excited about it. Yay Me!

It’s Done!

May 6, 2007

Its done It’s done! We’ll at precisely 2:36am in the morning I turned off my computer monitor and headed to bed. The movie was finished. I’m pretty happy with it too. Believe it or not I’m actually excited to do more video editing. Especially now that I have some more knowledge of Premiere. I’m not sure, but prolly the best part about last night was playing on Jakes computer and making all kinds of stuff. I made a comic book at 1:30 in the morning. All that means is that I think is awesome and no one else will. Or at least they wont think its funny. I put it up at kaspers.ca so you can try your luck at my late night humor if you wish. I’m going to try and have the Video up today too. I have to format it different for Web though so it wont be so big.

Emily has had a super long nap today. YAY! that was perfect timing because after a late night last night I really need to have a nap too. She is going to be so hungry when she wakes up and I just realized that I have not eggs for a quick scram. Hmm. I’ll have to think of something else to make. I made quinoa (keen-wa) For her last night and she seemed to like it alright. She didn’t love it, but I can work with that. Her daddy’s spicy pasta brings joy to her teeny heart. I think thats all Em wants right now. She’s still content with power oatmeal in the Morning but need something more substantial than regular baby food the rest of the day. So now aside from a bottle of formula at bedtime we don’t buy any baby food. I had been buying it for when she goes to the sitters, but she hates the stuff and I don’t blame her. It’s bland and kinda yucky. So I’ll just have to get more creative with on the go meals. ooo Planning ahead

Speaking of planning ahead. I don’t know what night yet, but we are having meatloaf. I decided yesterday I seriously wanted meat loaf. I’m getting excited just thinking about it. Maybe Ill have my parents over. They like my meatloaf. Wow now I’m hungry.

Garage me.

May 5, 2007

Would that I had a garage for my band. We are still working on the video. There isnt much I can do so I’ve been playing with Jakes computer because It’s amazing. I miss working with Mac. I’ve been playing with Garage Band. Its so fun. So far I pretty much sound like one of theose tacky webpages with the crappy midi song playing in the background. But its my midi! I would really like to get a Mac. I think my podcasts wold…well exist. I dont love audacity. It works, but is definitely limited in its functionality. As DR. Brown would say…”Patient lacks cognitive function”. I relate that directly to programs with crappy issues.

I had a relay meeting tonight. I felt bad because it was for our team and I forgot. My mom phoned and so I was only 10 minuted late. I then felt loads better because aside from my mom no one showed up. Oh well. Theoretically I have a team of 8 right now. We lost acouple from last year, but have 2 newbies. Yay Gramma and Poppa! So my mom and I just had a quick coffee and then back to make sure Emily didnt freak out on Auntie Leesh.

It’s a good thing DQ isnt open right now. I think I could seriously injure for a blizzard. Rox showed me this new one she makes with carmel and kit kat. Its a-maze-za-zing. Leesh got me hooked on Mint Chocolate Iced capps from Timmys and now Im hooped. Im glad Im back at the gym on monday. I need to go! Im actually looking forward to it.

This week is gonna be busy. At least its just full of average stuff and not loads of deadlines like last week. I think it will feel like a walk in the park compared to the schedule of last week. It almost feels anticlimactic. hmm

Another Saga of the JAM

May 5, 2007

I’m perfect! In every way except for several. Still working on the JAM movie this morning. Nope didn’t pull an all-night-er, just thought about it and thought “I’m getting to old for this”. So we waited till this morning to attack it. All the phoootage we put on the mac showed up with a “sample” logo right across the front of it. GRR. But then I finally found my copy of Premiere and now we are cooking with fire. I think this is going to be a long saga in the saga of sagas. At least I have a good cuppah. Coffee makes me happy!

Em is still singing away this morning as she slowly wakes herself up. I think its one of my favorite things about the little munchkin. I need to put a camera in her room…hmm our camera does have a remote… this could work nicely. She’s singing “E I E I E I E I E I E I” she still never gets to “O”. One day “O” will be her anthem of choice.

I’m in a silly mood this morning. prolly a combo of not enough sleep and to much coffee. Plus Leesh and I are hanging out which always makes me silly too!YAY! For the record I’m not abandoning a friend to blog. That would be rude. I am blogging while some files format and she is on the other Laptop watching Tivo. Gotta love that.

Well Emmy is finally awake enough to get her(otherwise she gets up grumpy). So I’d better go get the little punk.

Larry Boy!!

May 4, 2007

Trying to remember how to think in Mac. We have Jakes complicator to try and make the JAM movie. Myne sux! Actually I love my computer, I just don’t love my movie programs. I was using the old laptop tonight and somehow managed to not splunt it down the stairs just for being slower than molasses. Morgan wants to buy me a laptop on eBay and I want him to buy me a laptop on eBay….so buy it already! Stupid money. Arg

We had the first of our Encounter nights tonight. It went really well. There was a good number of people, both Christians and Non’s. We talked about sin. Sin is bad. I showed this clip. and I talked about my talk at camp using a diaper for my illustration. The bad news is really Bad. The good news is really good. I love that.*Emily is singing herself to sleep and its so cute*Anyways. I like talking about sin because Its really easy for people to cover it up and pretend we are all good and nice. I love talking about sin because I love talking about Gods love for us and his grace. It is such a wonderful thing. Definitely not to be taken for granted. Here is the actual audio of what I said.

Might drop in on the Puddle city tomorrow. Got some stuff ta get and my mom wants to go too. I have to see if the movie gets done before I can decide to go. Thats kind of a priority.

*sigh* I have finished the week in which I could have possibly let every one down. I think I made it through unscathed. I think I only let one person down. It sucked really bad but it was something I had to do. I’m not looking forward to ever doing that again.
