Grrrr

I'm having issues. My computer does random-ass things like erase whole words at a time instead of just letters, open the web browsing history, or close windows you are working in--and you don't even have to touch a button. So it just closed the post I was writing, and blogger hadn't saved it. I will be saving like a maniac as I write this post.

The other issue I'm having is that my printer refuses to scan. I've been online troubleshooting, and the fix is either some 29 minute download or I need to do this weird shamanistic dance that has ten steps ending "press # and 6 at the same time and do not release until you are told to." So I went with the download. If you see the things I have been making for Thing-a-day then we will have had success. If you don't, you'll get some photos tomorrow.

Because according to the weatherpeople I will be trapped inside my house, maybe forever. And here I didn't run to the grocery store and buy everything they had. I think it was the 14 years in Los Angeles: you had to be ready for earthquakes there. No one comes on the teevee to announce their arrival. You just had to be ready, which is why I have eggs and bread and milk and even all the fixings to make chili. The dude was very worried that we'd miss the Superbowl party where we will were to may eat chili. But please, am I an amateur? Do I not have beans in the pantry and meat in the freezer? If my preparedness isn't the result of living in earthquake country, maybe it was all those years in New Hampshire where, even when you were ass deep in snow, you could find things to eat in your house. You know, that would tide you over for the two, possibly three, days that you couldn't get to the store. Maybe I'm not cut out to live in the south* Mid-Atlantic.

Anyway, enough with the bellyaching, take a look at Thing Three:

Since I had the supplies out, I made another and called it Thing One:

I think this may need something. Glitter maybe?

Thing Four:

This is a little cover for a notebook I bought maybe two for a dollar. Anyway I think this may need something, but not glitter.

Now that I've wasted all this time here, I've got to go make Thing Five.
*Do you know how close I am to the Mason-Dixon line?
