Hi Ya! Well I have a new computer and I reconditioned the old one so I have a task to get the splitter going to have the connection on both computers. I love to dabble. Isn't it amazing all the computer tech things that we have picked up with this interest/hobby/obsession of ours. LOL My electronics wish list is so unbelievably HUGE!!! ROFL :P





A birdie told my that Adobe CS4 is coming out!! weeee! so CS3 $ will go down now too. So Cool!!!





I heard that my apartment is up for remodeling. i am a clutter critter! Holy Moly!!! What a job. I have to pack most everything up and put in the garage and I might be getting new carpets, new kitchen cabinets, new dining room flooring, new shower faucets and head, new bathroom vanity, and blinds to replace the curtains throughout. Did I mention Paint???? Yeah that too. And everything out of the closets too. Phew. I will be so busy packing and moving furnishings. But it will be so worth it, I have been here for ages and plan to be here at least another 4 years. It will be really really worth it in the end. great big stretch and sigh :P





ok ok enough chatter, here is the birthday kit. I am late tonight but I will be pre-posting in the advanced settings so it goes through every night at midnight CST, Minneapolis, USA time zone. So everything will be ready to go each night on 12:01 :D So any one who subscribes to my blog via e-mail just come on over and pop in for your challenge hunter freebies and daily download each day so that you do not miss them.

Well I had the birthday and really now that I am 40+ it really is not a big thing anymore. I was getting out the box mix of my fav. cake, a German chocolate one , gotta have cake, with the pecan coconut frosting you know the one. A girl friend stopped by, no she did not remember it was my b-day she wanted a ride AGAIN as she does not drive or have a car. but she ended up treating me out to lunch and it was really a nice treat. I was planning on just taking myself after all. So I had no time to bake my cake and took my son to his soccer match and then he did not feel well and when he got home he went up for a nap. His friend came over and the biggest loser show was on so being teenagers that they are they were cutting up about the FAT ones on the show. I was deeply offended. so my bought cake never came out of the kitchen. :Ppppp

I texted my 'just friends' boyfriend and wished him a happy birthday as his is tomorrow. You would think that he could remember someones birthday as it is only one day off from his but no.

I called my brother and asked about the kid's activities for the week and then after general chit chat asked if he wanted to come over for cake and he said, "What for? ROFL I was just testing and it really makes me laugh as this is just the same old birthday replayed every year. LOL!

So I am another year older. la dee da, ok if you say so. time to have my annual present hopefully a clear mammogram test. :) I am so glad to have some cyber friends because I had so many well wishes on the boards I frequent (Scrapbookmax and Digital Candy). Really made my day. Thanks Yvonne, Fiona, and Carol, Rachel and Patty and Thanks all who left me birthday greetings!! Hugs, Crystal

9-9-08 Brisk day here

Brisk autumn air here in Minnesota, USA. I went out to the bus this morning at 7AM to 40 degree Fahrenheit weather. YIKES! BBRRRRRRrrrrrr! I guess even some peeps had some frost in the valleys and shadows. I had to drag out my denim jacket out of the closet. pout. The thing I like the best about warm weather is the fact that I can walk out of the house as is with no bundling up. Oh sigh. Here it comes. I think I will get a pair of ice skates this year or take up skiing.

I am in the mood for soup. Speaking of soup... Digital Candy has another recipe challenge there and you can pick up the scrapped recipe cards too. I would love to see some more good recipes of your favorites from your corner of the world! Just click on the link for the challenge of the day below the daily download. Now for the daily download...
