Man do I ever need a new computer!

Oy. Like seriously! It took over an hour JUST to update my friggin' iPhone! Seriously!

Problem is, of course, money. Now, I could afford a new Windows laptop running up to about $700 thereabouts without much problem. I've been really good with the financials lately, so I actually still have money in my account and I'm not freaking out at the end of the month. I have to say though, it really helps getting paid every week! Makes it much easier to figure out how much I can spend each week as opposed to trying to make one paycheque last for 2.

But even though I have enough for a new Windows laptop, that's unfortunately not what I need. With all my work with photos and photoshop and the like, I desperately need a Mac. Although, having a Mac does put a damper in some of the Windows programs I love to use for business type dealies. But my plan is to keep this one around and once I move all my photos and programs for photos to the Mac, strip this one down to the bare minimums and just use it for the "office" side to my workings. It'll make me feel all professional like! Kinda like when I carry around a clip board!

But buying a Mac of course, adds atleast another $1000 on the price.

Any suggestions?

But I'm not up to doing anything illegally here! So no suggestions of robbing banks please. I'm quite clumsy and I'd probably fall on my big bag of money whilst trying to escape the police and "Chris Farley" it. There's be money everywhere. And of course I wouldn't think of putting my hands down to break my fall, but I'd use my face as per usual. Bad habit of mine. Poor face. I'm getting pretty hideous over here from all my falling.

So for now, I'll struggle along. If you're not seeing many new photos, this is why! Not like I have much time or energy right now to do any crafting or picture taking or editing mind you, so that's okay right now.

But I do have exciting news! A couple of weeks ago I started following Jann Arden on Instagram (the photo program I use on my iPhone) and she FOLLOWED ME BACK!!! She's even LIKING MY PHOTOS!! I get so excited everytime I see that she liked a photo of Kermit or Puck. I've had quite a few hilarious ones lately. Like when I stayed out really late with a friend of mine Saturday night and they were both giving me the "So young lady, mind telling us why you were out so late?!" glares...

                     

Okay so, a small rant on Facebook, because I just discovered this. I post a lot of photos to facebook from Instagram because I like to share the "so cute my head is going to explode" pics of my furrbabies. I hadn't gotten ONE comment on any of them and I was all sad face. Well, I just went to facebook to get a photo and noticed on my stupid timeline that all my Instagram photos had a lock with an "Only Me" written to the side. Right on. Because I just love filling up my facebook timeline with things for only me to see. Hmph.

Alright, don't want to get too long winded. My computer might crash any second since it sounds like a 90 year old man trying to get up out of his chair. Have a great week everyone! Hopefully it won't be so long until I'm back again :)

And I'm Back!

I seemed to be missing for awhile. Well, ok this could mean a few things. Yes, I haven't been posting as often due to being so busy with work and such, and I am trying to get back on track with crafting and regular posting. But I was also missing due to my domain not working. Thanks domain hosting website which shall remain nameless just incase you somehow notice my rants and f*ck up my page again!

Basically, it went down like this... I've always had automatic renewal which comes off my credit card April 10th, and the domain is renewed. Never done it manually. So, time for renewal and get a notice of it from said domain host. Then I get another email from said domain host saying they couldn't renew. I logged into my account and notice that all my information including credit card number was completely blank. Apparently when they upgraded their own website, it deleted everything. Way to let peeps know said domain hosting bastards!

So, I diligently enter my account info, credit card number, it says "Thank you! Your next automatic renewal will be scheduled for April 10th, 2013!" So, I figured everything was good, yes? Wouldn't you think so as well??

Well slap me silly and call me Sally, no it wasn't! I went to log into my website and the site was not available. Right on! I log into my account again, and couldn't for the life of me navigate ANYTHING on their site. Before it was stupid people simple, know what I mean? You log in, and all the info is right there. The domain, when it was paid, anything I wanted to know. Now? French-Seal that! I can find more information on making Facebook ads, than I can about my own domain. Now that's helpful!

I notice a little live chat doohickey and decide to give it a go. The guy (We'll call him "Ronald"... well, his name actually was Ronald...) was really nice at first with all his "Hello! How are you! How can I help you today!" then he became a downright ass when I used the wrong "terminology" and gave me a lecture between "website hosting" and "domain hosting". Well, stick a finger up my ass Ronald! Excuse me for using the wrong word! Yeesh. I'm not a computer wizz like you, obviously!

Anyhoo, even though it was set up for "automatic" there was absolutely nothing "automatic" about the 8 step process I had to take in order to "automatically renew" my website domain. But then it was going to take 24-48 hours to actually work again. Lucky for Ronald, it's working.

But, in other exciting news that I don't think I've shared on here yet, I was at a Flea Market a few weeks ago and found a 1930's camera that STILL WORKS and I brought it to my trusty camera place, Burlington Camera, to check it out and guess what?! They had compatible film!! So when I stop dancing long enough to take some photos, I'll take a roll, bring it back to them, they'll process it, see if there's any light leakage, and we'll go from there!

Coolest part is the guy that was helping me showed me an app on my iPhone that is a lightmeter, so it'll tell me what settings I need to put the camera at based on how light it is where I'm taking a photo! Right on!

Alright, off I go again. But before I do, I can't help but share this:

                          

Could they be any cuter? I mean, really?

I plan on crafting soon, I swear! Have a great week everyone!

Been too long??

I'd say so! Yeesh... I was reminded about my website when I got an email from my domain host telling me that I needed to renew my url. Whoopsie! Soooo much has been going on, a lot of it personal family sadness, madness, devastating-ness and the like. So I won't go into too much detail. But I may blather here and there about how sh*tty this year has been thus far!! :)

As for now, I have a kitten in the garbage can, the puppy doing a poo-dance and the oven is waiting for it's sausages. And we must not disappoint the oven! I've already made the washing machine angry and now it doesn't want to spin! I'm very stinky.

I kid! I kid! I'm still using it despite it's lackluster attempts at a "spin" cycle. A "Flop" cycle will suffice until we can find a suitable replacement. That or I find where the crap a Laundromat is around here.

And just so we can keep you all entertained, here's my hubs pretending to be a biker. Or the Great Gazoo, whichever you prefer :)

     

Oh, right, this is a crafting blog... I got nuthin'. Hopefully soon! Been very exhausted lately, and frankly I think I may be eating a tad too many sausages...
