✔ May 30, 2013

Good morning! Yesterday was a good day. I made a fried egg sandwich for breakfast, cleaned the house, surfed eBay, the FD got toned out to a public assist call, I worked on my Interlocking Filet Crochet, spoke to Andrew, checked facebook & took my game turns, spoke to Pete, ordered pizza for lunch at Kyle's request, updated daily cleaning on my personal Website, took the dogs out, & worked on my Mile-A-Minute Crochet. Below are pics of my newly started Soft Pink Broomstick Lace Crochet Afghan & my Watercolors Broomstick Lace Crochet Afghan. Yesterday's Sims game was LizC864 8 & my Sim was Nikki (2nd gen). She went to the University towards a communications degree. This morning I woke up very early considering what time we went to bed last night. I only got about 5 hours of sleep & I'm feeling it. It's good that I got up early though,
because it means I'll get more done today in spite of having to go to DPS so Kyle can get his permit & I can renew my license. We tried this once before, but Kyle was missing some necessary paperwork that he accidentally left in his band locker at school. Thursday is the day I usually catch up & have a perfect day. It's the ONLY day of the week that I don't try to sit down, relax, & craft in the middle of the day (with the exception of early in the day before anything else) ... which means even though I don't get my relaxing time, I make it up by actually getting all the way through everything for the day. Going to DPS though will mess that one up. I won't miss any crafting time, but I'm not going to finish my schedule either. I took the dogs out this morning, chatted w/ Pete, worked on my Bavarian crochet, & then contacted the city about a part time job that would be perfect for me (I hope I get it & that it grows). Additional income of any kind would be wonderful ... a little extra lunch money or yarn money ... home improvements, etc. City Council Meeting

½ of American households re-gift regularly. Just don't go too far - don't re-gift the card & wrapping paper too!

AutoTracker:
This is a basic application to allow the end user to track vehicle gas mileage and maintenance data. There is no limit to how many vehicles you can enter into the application and there is no limit on the amount of gas mileage entries of maintenance entries that the end user can input. The end user must enter the starting and ending mileage along with the number of gallons purchased and the price per gallon. The application will automatically calculate the total mileage you traveled and the gas mileage associated with the start and end mileage. Additionally, if you make a mistake you can select any of the gas mileage entries and correct the mistake. All the values are automatically recalculated for the end user.
The AutoTracker application will also track basic information associated with any vehicle that the end user inputs into the database. The information contained within the application associated with each vehicle is the vehicle Make, Model, Year, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Purchase Date, and Purchase Price.

Got a Pez dispenser? Check if it's the 1982 World's Fair "Astronaut B" Pez Dispenser. There were only 2 made, making it the rarest in the world. One was recently sold at auction for $32,205.

Sometimes life is lake an exit ramp, & when you take the wrong one you just have to look over your shoulder & back down at full speed. Soon your life will be back on cruise control, but avoid the inevitable speed trap.

There's an item in the paper - this was back in Clearlake, Iowa. There's a company that's testing a, I guess the 1st time, an aphrodisiac for hogs. Now, I'm not making it up. The spray smells like the male hog, & it's called Boar Mate. They found out when they sprayed this around the female, she gets highly excited. it must really have turned them on because, you know, normally hogs wallow in mud, & they found since they've been using it, the hogs are wallowing at a Ramada Inn up the road. -Johnny Carson 1979

Use only the side of a sharpened brow pencil - not the pointed top - so as not to dray a hard line.
