I am starting to educate myself...
















(Thanks to my sis who bought me the book)

That's right, I'm gonna become a grease monkey, or at least I can pretend :)

I wish I wasn't so car clueless. I love my car but it causes me much nervousness and worrying. I had to bring in "Zippy" for tire rotation and a squeaky belt issue this morning. I just got a call back from the shop and they need to replace my belts and 2 of the tires. I'm probably paying too much for the tires but because this is my first experience and I have no concept of how car repair works so this time I'm giving the go ahead. I need to be more car educated. I need to know who to trust and the best ways to save money when it comes to repairs. I really dislike not knowing what I am getting into and I honestly feel stupid - like turn-red-in-the-face-i'm-embrassed kinda stupid. Which in reality is so dumb because how am I expected to know such things if i have no experience?

I will get over this, I will educate myself and I will stop worrying so much! It's just a car! There are are more important things to focus on.

So here I sit at the end of my work day. Okay so, almost - half hr to go.

Eating a cookie that was forced upon my desk. It's a delicious cookie but I so don't need to eat another one.

It's snowing outside and it's staying on the ground. It's beautifully sad to look at.

I want CHRISTMAS!

Seriously, I could go for a tall glass of eggnog while sitting in the living room surrounded by Christmas lights, the smell of pine and candles while music plays in the background.

*sigh*

But here I sit, blogging instead of working while my officemate/boss plays Christmas music. (Of which I have no objections, it just makes me really long for the Holidays)

Sending faxes.

I just can't get enough of jBlast.

Love photography? Then you will love this cool gadget! Seriously, this is darn awesome!
(Sad part is, currently only available in the US)

Before we even start to tell you what this thing is, we have to tell you: it’s amazing, we LOVE it, and it makes us feel like we’re living in the future.


Also, let us answer up front, with a dandy little mini-FAQ, what you’ll soon be asking:
Q: Is this really as awesome as it sounds?A: Yes. Maybe awesome-er.
Q: Wait, are you serious? Is this for real?A: You betcha.



With that out of the way… the Eye-Fi Wireless memory card adds Wi-Fi to any camera that uses SD memory. It’s orange. It looks like a normal SD camera memory card. It holds 2 GB of photos. And it wirelessly uploads your photos to your computer and to Flickr or one of 16 other photo sharing sites.



We always dreamed that someday, we’d merely turn on our cameras and all our photos would be invisibly downloaded to our computer and uploaded for our friends to see. It’s someday.

No buttons, no antennas, and no wires. Just modern technological magic.

Thanks to my coworker and kindred spirit Jolene for inspring my post of today (and more to come)

Inigo: Are you the Miracle Max who worked for the king all those years?

Miracle Max: The king's stinking son fired me. And thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? We're closed.
