We decided that since we had lost everything, we would take our time and really look for a new fridge. We found out that Lowes was having a great deal on refrigerators.
We purchased a 26CuFt Samsung French door. Its black. Its huge.

I love it.
Pure and simple. I love having all that space. I never realized how much I HATED our side by side. This thing tells you the temperature of both the freezer and the fridge, uses LED’s and makes pleasent beeping noises when you push buttons.

Nathan says no more appliances for a while. I hope he is right. At this point we have replaced everything in the house except our stove and the water heater. It would be nice to have to replace anything huge for a while.

Nathan and I have joined the 21st Century in the gaming world, and finally purchased two new gaming consols.
For our anniversary, we bought a Nintendo Wii. What an AWESOME toy! That little white box brought so much fun into this house. We bought Boomblox and Punchout for it. We have boxed with each other, we have broken down walls, and ALL of it NOT sitting down like a zombie not blinking, and even sweating a bit after some fast paced boxing.
Nathans parents came over the weekend after we bought it and they even played with us as well! I havent heard his parents giggle like that, i dont think EVER! It made me smile alot and whip out the camera.

The next, was bought for Nathans birthday. I bought Nathan an xbox 360 for his birthday. He hasn’t had a new console system in a long time. He has been playing his PS2 for soo long on Gran Turismo (his favorite racing game), that even to me, the graphics seem dated. I also bought him Forza 3 for it. If you havent seen the graphics for this game, you are missing out. They are BEAUTIFUL. Our poor rear projection TV does it no justice.

I recently aquired a new app on my IPhone called Pandora Radio. I didnt know much about it when i downloaded it. It was free, and streaming radio… Or so i thought..

On the sidebar of our blog, I have a link to our radio stations.

Nathan and are able to create radio stations based on the mathematical algorithms of music that are similar to each other. It lets you give thumbs up and down to music and find music with similar algorithms for you to listen to. This may mean you are finding music you never new you would listen to, NOR even knew existed!  We have created quite a few radio stations, based on our moods, tastes and joint music enjoyment.

There is an occasional ad, but even that, is only 15 seconds, and i can handle that for free music.

The reason i bring this up is because you can listen to it at your computer, in fact i recommend  you go do it right now!

The Music Genome Project®

On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever.

Again this iPhone is cool!
I found an app that let’s me post from my phone. Thank you WP.

This weekend ELena, Doug, and,Paulette are coming up to go Cosi this weekend. I’m sure we will take lots of photos.
And because I can….

When Nathan and I met, we always had very traditional first dating, first married Vdays.  We would go out to a fancy resturant and have a lots of wine and he’d give me a lovely piece of jewelry and roses or orchids. After a few years of wooing, we both decided that it was too close to Christmas having ended to be spending tons of money on frivolous things like that and have opted to just getting each other something fun for each other and experiment on dinner together with something HE picks from the cookbooks.

So far this has worked out well.

This year, I technically got Nathan his welding class, and all his gear. (OK, so i purchased it, but he paid for it.. the woes of being a housewife). He in turn got me one of THE niftiest gadgets on the market today. One i have pined for since last summer when i was opened to the world of the awesomeness that is this gadget.

If the Garmin GPS was the single most important thing to keep Nathan and I from strangling each other on the highway, this will be the second part to that equation.

I give you

THE IPHONE.

Look I can go to the INTERNET while he’s driving!!

So when Dirty Helen tricks us, we can outsmart her and look up better directions.

Please excuse my dirty dusty, work radio, that i dock my Ipod in when, i am in the kitchen.

I have spent the better part of 2 days, now working on a picture that i had in my head. I have tried SO hard to make it look like what i had vamped up in my head, but it has failed. Why cant technology fit inside my head?

Part of having A.D.D. is my in ability to work on just ONE project, so while i was working on this project, i have three photoshop books(*thank you God, for Scott Kelby) spread about my desk, my Stitch n Bitch book, Christmas cards that will never get mailed, and Mozilla has about 10 tabs open, on all three subjects that i previously listed.

I did however actually get most of the project i am writing about today done. I am making a calendar to print on Zazzle.com for our car club. This has been in the makings for a couple of months now. I have asked our membership to donate pictures that they have taken, and been picking and choosing cars to put in the calendar. This has been fun and lots of hard decisions.

In the process of this, i am also learning about how to make new brushes, mattes, and how to edit pictures properly. In doing so (add again) also realizing changes i need to make in my OWN photography, and testing the waters on it as well, torturing our poor animals with the flash that hurts thier eyes, when i practice, as they are my victo…subjects, yeah subjects that’s it.

Speaking of subjects.. i got the Devil Kitty to pose for me last night as i practiced bouncing my flash a bit..

So anyhoo, its 4am, i cant sleep as usual, and my brain is going a million miles a minute. Its a wonder how i remotely keep my house clean.

Its time for christmas lists!!

For my family and friends i would love to have comments on here to maybe your amazon wish lits or ideas for gifts..

Nathan and I both have wishlist on amazon, his is sligthly outdated..
