Where did I leave off? Playing Neopets at Jase's I believe....
Saturday evening--we ate leftovers and watched another episode of Mystery Science Theater--"This Island Earth"....I hate to admit it but I was actually getting into the movie they were watching; but then I like cheesy B grade old sci-fi movies! Got home sometime between 10 and 11 and then decided to watch the old TV series "Twin Peaks" so I watched a couple of episodes before crashing around 2 am.
Sunday....told myself I was going to pack but went to Jase's in the afternoon and helped him with a Step Mania program...I am making him a "dance routine" to New Radicals "You Get What You Give" remix. Didn't think I would like it....in fact I sat there for the first 10 minutes thinking "I'm too dumb to do this...I am not computer literate...What was Jase thinking?" before venturing to tap a few keys. Lo and behold I am good at this! Of course, Jase's "easy" level song turns out to be incredibly hard to do so I am going to have to scale down the combination steps a bit! I really had a good time playing with it and am looking forward to finishing up the song and making him new ones. Whoa....didn't think there was a secret geek hiding out in me like that. Still, there's a satisfaction in knowing I am able to comprehend a little of what I am doing on the computer! We ate more leftovers and watched a couple of episodes of "Heroes" before I headed home and watched even more "Twin Peaks" (I am evil). Once again up until two and then up at 6:30 to get ready for work. Funny, but I didn't feel tired.
Monday...after work I went home, watched even more "Twin Peaks" (only a few episodes left) and started packing my crap...actually set aside books to donate!
Tonight....go through the craft boxes in the spare room and start deciding what to keep and what to give away. Yes I will watch "Peaks" some more...just on the computer this time rather than the TV. Still have plenty of energy and feel great about the move.
Side note: over the holiday I would have sworn I needed a root canal or something because the side of my jaw really hurt. There's a filling on that side that's been bothering me for about 4-5 years now but no one can see anything wrong with it. I think I may have just had a sore in the gums though because now its not bothering me. Thank goodness since I no longer have dental insurance the last thing I need is oral surgery!

I have to be honest...I had to delete a few of the steps you put in, Shawna...I tried it and it was absolutely KILLER. There is no way a real human being could possibly do that and survive. All about the rhythm...
Thanks for figuring it out though...I still don't know how to do it!
what books are you donating? Any that I might be interested in taking off your hands???
Yancy...I don't know if you'd be interested in them...some current titles (Alice Sebold "Lovely Bones", Iris Johansen "Countdown) but if you want I will set them aside at work until I see you at Christmas before taking them in....its no problem.
Jase....I was able to do those steps. Of course I was sitting down at the time! I will have to come by this weekend and show you the program and to finish up that song. Am thinking you should do "just look at you now (dba mix)" too...
sounds cool. thanks.
I'm just enjoying the fact that for the first time in a long time I've been able to make the time for recreational reading. so the idea of good books gets me excited.
I understand completely.....I have just discovered just how many books are available for super-cheap at DI but I am looking forward to my move to Orem so I can have a library card! Springville's library is good, but its so small that they don't always get in the titles that I want to read. I love reading....if you haven't read it yet you should try "The Dogs of Babel"....its very good, though its not going to open your eyes to new insights or anything, but it does a wonderful job of convincing you that this authors fantasy is reality while you're immersed in its pages.
