Gotta love 'em. Be sure you read the comments, too.

FUCK FUCK FUCK my laptop is starting to rattle! **prepares to back up documents** Sheeeit! Good thing my vids and their files in process all sit on an external. So do my pictures for 99% of them. I just really need to back up My Documents again as that's about the only place I add anything new, beyond programs on the laptop C: drive.

So, Roy had to work (January + accountant = BUSY), Mom took the younger two to spend their toy store gift certificates and get them lunch, so Katie and I hit OfficeMax for printer cartridges and some pens and pencils and markers she needed for school. I'm beginning to think the schools should really put out a second supply list midyear - things start running out then anyway and we can save ourselves the "run for pencils, run for crayons, run for glue" as they peter out. And we had a 15% off everthing in the bag deal, which is good when it comes to printer cartridges.

Then took her to lunch at Panera where she went completely crazy over how good the bread was, her soup was, her salad was. What a teen. Then off to look for her birthday present, new bedding for her bed, now that we've taken the bunks apart and given them each their own space in the room. She's chosen a rather grown up pattern of blue with green-and-blue accents of squares of varying sizes. The set is pretty remarkable - comforter, bedskirt, two accent pillows, Euro sham, regular sham, and both a solid and patterned sheet set, all for less than $100. She's bugging me to put the skirt on now, as a matter of fact, lol, but I told her to go wash the sheets first.

Today was "hear songs on the radio that you've listened to a bazillion times already" because I'd already vidded them or have played them on repeat to see if they'd build a vid in my head for me. It was a little trippy; Katie and I were starting to laugh over it when she'd say, "Didn't you make a vid to this?" It's not like we were in the car to hear the radio all that often, either. Maybe it means I've vidded TOO much. Gah. **steps away from the puter...then clings to Vegas Pro**

Gah, I just remembered, I need to do my Saturday work for Job #2. We've done some tweaking on the site and the questions being asked are coming more often. Oh, there's six in there today. I usually lucky if there are two. Such great plans coming for this site this year; I'm all excited by them, particularly one that I can't tell you about but that was my idea and my team fleshed it out and offered it to the boss, who LOVED it, and it's scheduled in for later this year. EEEE when it's live, I'll tell you all about it and ask you to participate. Keep your fingers crossed nothing happens to push it back!

I thought I had more to say, but my head just went blank. All hail sudafed, but this morning's dose has worn off, I think... *snorks, tries to breathe* Roy has poker tonight so he left at 7:30 this morning and I wont' see him until after midnight tonight... *lonesome* *hears kids, stops being lonesome*
