Another Week...

This week...hmm...I really have nothing new to report. I pretty much kept things low key and worked on my "secret" (or not so secret) project. Ahh I forgot - that was a challenge in itself. When I put my mind to something I like to do it to the best of my ability - no cutting corners. I'm not one for sub-par products. For this particular video/photo project I had a great idea in mind. I started working on it a couple of weeks ago and was learning a new program as I went along (another thing I find to be great fun!). All was well for the first third of the project...then came the hurdles. For the sake of me not wanting to think about the technology tragedy, I'm going to keep this short. A song file, which I later discovered was probably converted in a faulty manner (I think), caused my saved project not to open....BUT...I had a back-up...no big deal. WRONG. I started working on my backup, which included changing the song to the faulty one (which I didn't know at the time) and after significant work I realized that this one too was no longer workable. That sent be back to square one. It took some consoling but I was reminded to turn lemons into lemonade and it worked. Started over now that I knew the program better meant that the second time around things looked a little bit better. It was an improved product - so for that I am thankful. I really had nothing else to do so the lost work is now seen as hours of practice. I finished and although I think I could do better the third time around...I don't have time so have to convince myself that I am satisfied.

I'm really not feeling super insightful today. No elaborate thoughts or complex ideas. I guess I'm just getting by...everybody has those days I think. I realize that I need to start focusing on school...and I think I'll do that as soon as tomorrow. I've been dreaming about it so that probably means I should act on those subconscious thoughts. Pretty sure that this week is going to fly by and then August is half gone - where has summer gone? I've been watching Olympics and get crazy focused on whatever is showing - so much so that I can't fall asleep. My whole sleeping pattern needs a major overhaul if I'm going to be able to function come September.

Sometimes I find those survey things that you see floating around in e-mails and whatnot entertaining. I came across one that was slightly unique and figured since I have nothing else to say I should just fill it out...so here it is...

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 19, and find line 4. Write it down.
blue. She reached for her hand and it was cold. Lilly started
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What's there?
my coffee table which is the holding place for my remotes and math magazines!
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
The Olympics - more specifically the start of the Men's 4 x 100 m Freestyle relay
4. Without looking, guess what time it is:
10:45
5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
10:27 - wow I was way off - usually I'm close than that
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
The television and the air conditioner
7. When did you last step outside?
About one hour ago
8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at.
My other computer, I turned it off
9. What are you wearing?
My sleeping gear
10. Did you dream last night?
I dreamt that I went out but forgot to get dressed and then was trying to hide...I hate it when that happens. Another part of me dream included me being outside and there were grain bins around and I was sort of being sly trying to hide from people and then this kid, who I hardly know, came up behind me and dumped a whole tub of water on me. I had other dreams too but now I forget them...shoot.
11. When did you last laugh?
Well this afternoon I believe. Ohh ya, when the dude was filling in gas into his Harley and it sprayed out kind of volcano like and went all over. He was swearing, I laughed but then he glared at me.
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
I have nothing on the walls...pretty boring.
13. Seen anything weird lately?
Hmmm, yes. A biker woman put a plastic bag on her chest to warm her lungs and there was a woman riding her bike and just ran right into the fence...maybe that was more funny than weird. Ohh and I find fencing to be weird...their helmets light up! It's cool.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
I think it's a good way to occupy my time
15. What is the last film you saw?
Well this morning I watched Grumpy Old Men - and I laugh every time. Priceless.
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
Pay off student loans and car loans, then buy a house and a bosch machine. Then I'd buy my dad a boat and a camper and my mom something too - just not sure what she would want.
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know:
I like to read obituaries - although people may know that. Umm I don't like cinnamon really but have been having intense cravings for a cinnamon bun. I make cake batters and sometimes make about 8 cupcakes and eat the rest of the batter.
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
That no child goes through life without having someone who loves them and cares for them. That all children have a loving, safe, and enriching home in which they are raised.
19. Do you like to dance?
It's fun...dance like nobody is watching!
20. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Well for some reason I like the letter K and the letter M...
21. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Same as above...but I also like the letter D I think...who knows!
22. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Well I'd like to visit abroad...I would consider living there for a short time period maybe if there was some opportunity...but I don't forsee that happening...
23. What do you want to say to God when you reach the pearly gates?
Maybe Thank You
