The Cigar: aka the classy blunt.

I've never been a big smoker. It's not that I don't like smoking or am tripped up over heath things, it's more I just have less of an urge to legal or otherwise. But when I do smoke I tend to enjoy things of the unusual. Smoking pipes? Sure. Hand rolling a cigarette? Why not. Fruit flavored smokes? Yes please. Cigars are a rarity where I live (unless you mean blunts or swisher sweets - which are entirely different).

Always run antispyware with your virus scanner.

I'm rather picky about my virus scanners. After getting a particularly nasty virus on my old laptop and the hours of fun (read: damned frustrating) trying to remove said virus, I learned that not all scanners are equal. In this I also got a tad hardcore on spyware too. That crap is just as annoying popping up really annoying things. In fact during that terrible infestation some spyware posed as my virus scanner!?

How I do 'storage units'.

I am no stranger to using storage facilities. Sometimes you have to simply stow things away in other places - especially when where you live is too small, or too unpleasant to keep your stuff at. And yes, I had to at one point move my things to a new local.

Weekend travel plans...and a wedding.

It’s that time again – out of state travel time! Family near and dear to both me and the guy is getting married (well, they were married years ago but are finally able to do the official party, dress, event part of it) this weekend. Being that they all live a few states away, this is also a out of state trip! But we are not taking his okay little car. I mean his car is ok but why risk damage to it and being stuck – when you could just rent a car instead?

So we plan on heading out and getting that squared away tomorrow.

Why cell foams?

Now why would I be trying to look for cell foam? Well, I had a rather artsy idea occur to me. Last weekend I scored my family desk and my grandmother's sewing machine. I always wanted to try it and whelp it was here. Adding onto this was my nearly destroyed pillows. The stuffing had long began to fill out but the pillow covers themselves were still good. I always had the plan to resew them together and salvage them. But now all the stuffing is either gone or ratty. Getting the foam stuff I linked could solve this little problem.

What's an Ableton Push ?

I've these gadgets before. They are like having an electronic conductor at your fingertips. The want to buy ableton push is a tad tempting. I mean, you can take pre made beats, sounds, music, whatever and chop it up and loop it into new patterns and loops effectively making something new. I've seen many indie acts starting to get into using it - I just can't see my neighbors wanting to hear my experiments!

Having Quality Mom and Me Time

It wasn't like some mushy Lifetime channel fare, but hey moving furniture is fun too :) We had to go to grandma's storage unit to empty out a few things. Eventually, ma plans on tossing most of the stuff out to save on the storage bill. A lot of it was actually stuff other people left behind (that wasn't grandma). Also got to see my uncle later; him being as silly as ever. In the end I scored a find coffee table that matches the futon. Also got me and the guy cupcakes. But more importantly I had fun quality time between ma and me :D

Finally, workable steel toes.

I've never been too fond of steel toed shoes. It seemed despite moving my feet around carefully in my shoes that the steel part would still sit uncomfortable along my toes. Add on the fear that something heavy could land on said metal part of boot and bam destroy my toes and you can then understand my aversion to steel toes.

Crock Pot Made Soup is Awesome.

No really it is. I mean finding some beans, taco seasoning, corn and tomatoes then letting them cook for 5 hours creates the most tasty of lunch time soups. And one batch is enough for a whole week's worth of lunch for me AND some bowls for the guy. Best idea I've ever had.

No amps allowed.

I have a not so secret thing for loud music. Especially guitars. Especially guitars with big powerful amps. Blame my sorta college punk days. Seeing a dude or dudette rocking out with a guitar connected to one of those best marshall amps just rocks the room (and my socks). Too bad I'm not so great at the guitar myself - nor would the people living near me would like it too much. I'd get my Uncle an amp but as he just downsized from a house to an apartment himself that's also out of the question. Bummer.

PC upgrades,..Finally.

I am so enjoying life atm. Am working a nice gig - so nice that I can actually fix up things that needed fixing like my pc! I put it off due to money and also having this laptop but after being forced to replace/upgrade the pc's power supply I decided to go ahead and upgrade it's video card too. The motherboard and CPU is next, buddy.

A really late gift.

US silver coins... The glittery things sit on that web page just calling to me. Now note. I don't collect coins. I find it well silly. That and I'd rather use the cash to like pay for things. But my guy does collect them off and on. So being the considerate SO I am, when I saw these coins, I had to jump on them. Mind you his birthday passed a month ago and Valentine's a few days ago, but why not? It'll be his belated Birthvalenday goft or something.

Stop jinxing it!

Oh not this. Again? Guys, I’m not married. I don’t even consider myself in a traditional relationship – in fact I’d be a terrible traditional wife and am proud of that haha. But I get this - Divorce Lawyer Orlando, FL - in my mail. Man, are they persistent. I mean I could rush and make me and my guy go marry at the local court house and make that true. I mean we’ve been together (even including that year break) over 13 years. YEARS. That’s like the life span of a typical dog, right?
