Desktop PC

Yippie!!! I am back up and running on my desktop pc!!! Hubby took it in to get the new power supply installed yesterday! Thank god I ONLY blew up the power supply and not the whole darn unit! hahahaha
I was working on a bunch of cards yesterday. I print graphics and sentimates on the inside of the card before working on the outside of it and my darn printer ran out of ink! It is a Canon printer and the base PX does nto carry Canon ink. So I am without ink till I fly to the US on the 13th. Guess that also goes on my shopping list that I am taking with me! LOL
At least I got 7 cards printed out...so I have that to work on before I fly out. Just need to figure out how I am going to decorate them. :-)
The mailman (my husband) came yesterday and brought a bunch of packages that I had ordered. I got a bunch of new pants and tops that I bought online at some sites clearance sales! Pretty colors! Just need to figure out what I am going to be packing with me to AZ. Checked the temps and it is still in the 80s there. So....guess it will be summer stuff! And I am sitting here wearing cords, a tshirt and a thick sweater! LOL
Did not hear back from Cricut yesterday about my baby. I will have to give them a call later today when they open to see what is going on. Hope it will be good news. Hope the saying no news is good news! LOL

My cricut died!

I think my cricut died! :-( wahhh...I tried to get it to cut something today and it would not cut properly. I have tried everything short of throwing it against the wall! LOL I finally broke down and called provo craft and Kevin walked me through a couple of steps and he said they might send me a new one! Yippie!!! He just has to talk to management to find out about shipping it to a APO address. They might not even make me send my old one back. Which would be cool. But in the meantime I am without my cricut! grumble grumble....
Called Mom today. She said she is going to do a bazzar just before Xmas. I told her I would make a bunch of cards for her to sell there as well. I need some ideas for some pretty thank you cards. And I will make a bunch of Xmas cards as well. What are some other good cards to make....does anyone put stuff on the inside of the cards?

Not much accomplished today!

Well...did not get much accomplished today. Sat here in front of the pc most of the day flipping through photos on photo sites that I post to. I did get a few pics edited. I will post them on here. We also got up and went up on post to get the oil changed in the car. We were going to go out to the Hornbach ( a german Home Depot place) but found out that today is a holiday here in Germany and that all the shops are closed. Well....shucks! I needed to pick up a picture frame and 3 new flower pots. Will have to wait another day. I did find out that there is a shop on post that will look at my pc and install the new power supply. I am hoping that is all that is wrong with it. I blew out the power supply the first time I hooked it up here. I forgot to switch it over to 220 instead of 110. So I am hoping that I did not blow up the whole darn pc!!! LOL I really need that one. It has nearly 500 gigs worth of stuff on it! LOL

That is a antibellum home in Natchez, Mississippi. Took it before we moved this summer.

That is the sunset on the beach at Panama City, Florida. I took that on one of my trips to visit my folks this past summer.

This is a magnolia blossom that I did as a black and white photo.

Drs visit

Ugh! Spent half the day going to the docs. I had a PT appointment at 1 this afternoon. So Dave left me the car and rode the harley into work. I get to the appt on time and the door is closed and locked....Ugh! My next appointment is not until 3:20. So I walk over to the park and sit and read for a couple hours in the chilly breeze. brrr....I only had a short sleeve top on. lol I then wander around the shops also till my appointment. Sure is a pain in the butt only having ONE car! By the time I get to my appt....finally, my shoulder is REALLY killing me. I have been lugging around my huge purse with my book and camera in it for hours! I am really getting tired of my shoulder always hurting. This time he gave me 6 shots in my shoulder!!!!! Damn! They hurt!!!!! I also asked for a perscription for something to kill the pain. I sure wish I could get into a appt on the base and see a american doc. I am thinking there is something more wrong than just inflamed nerves. But that is all he keeps saying! I just hate hurting all the time. It is there like a toothache that will not go away. I hate to complain all the time but it HURTS! I can not even take pics properly because I can not raise that arm all the way up to hold my camera to my eye.
Not sure how I am going to get this perscription filled. I am going to have to go into a German pharmacy(apotake) and get it done. But I have no idea how much euro to bring with me. Most places over here do not take Visa! They use what is called a EC card. But you have to have a german account for that.
Well....I got 3 cards finished this morning before I left. But I do not feel like working on anything else. I am going to go upstairs and curl up on the couch for the night.
