Amy came home from cake class last night with the coolest thing every…its a cap for your bags. Yes, you heard me, a CAP for your BAGs!
She found it at Michaels. You have to see it to understand, but basically, when you open a bag of candy or whatever, you can “cap it”.


Its Absolutely Fabulous! (I am so submitting this post to the Jason & Alexis show on MyTalk 107.1 for their Absolutely Fabulous segment! LOL)

My wife was holding out cat, and when I came out of a room. I went to give her a hug and the cat just stayed there on our “belly shelf”. He was just as comfy as could be.

We had cowpies for dinner.
No…not those kind of cowpies…
They are actually called Savory Chicken Squares, and they are like a Chicken Pot Pie, but in a square and much better.
My great-aunt Muriel called them cowpies (cause they kinda have that shape) and so the name has stuck.
I like that we are able to still enjoy her favorite dishes, even though she is no longer with us.

Seriously? When did I become everyone’s tech support? I have had five people contact me this weekend alone about their tech issues.
Sadly, this has been going on for years. What annoys me more is when they do it in person. People just assume I will help them. They just start telling me their issues and expect an answer! They don’t even “ask” if I can help them with something, they just expect me to do it because I am right there.
It’s just so aggravating. I mean, first of all, (to sans Dr. McCoy) I’m a Graphic Designer, not an IT guy. I don’t get paid for that.
Second, if I am not “physically” there, and can “see” for myself, I can’t help you. I can’t do it over the phone and mentally understand what you mean.
Third, I have a very busy and complicated life. I cannot just drop everything and help you with your problems. I have my own to deal with.
Lastly, if your having an issue with something, read your manual…look in the troubleshooting section and see the part that says “Customer Support”…with a phone number…call them…they are going to know before I will whats wrong…and hey, they get paid for helping you…I don’t!
(P.S. Mr. T…if I ever call you again for tech support…just throw a large heavy object at my head).

Today’s post is about WoW (World of Warcraft). I just love the game. My friends got me started and we would all play together…now after four years we aren’t on as much…but it is still a great way to relax after a stressful day…you just log on and kill stuff….
This is my “new” main Kagera. My only level 80. This picture was taken during the “Love is in the Air” holiday (Valentines) and these boats were driving around the moat on their own (kinda like a tunnel of love) this picture embodies how I feel in the game lately…lonely. Since all my friends either quit the game (*cough* Arametheus *cough*) or they just aren’t on as much or we just need to coordinate some game time together (*cough* Nylarue *cough*)
But, I still enjoy the game. I got my oldest son on it again, so we can “bond” together. Matter of fact, he is sitting right next to me playing right now.

Today is a two-fer!
I love the Pink Flower in Mounds View. My family has been going there for years. So much so that my dad now does their taxes and we know the owners personally.
We have been to many different oriental restaurants, and while many are good. None compare to the “staples” offered here. Their Cream cheese wontons are very large, and full of cream cheese.
Their egg rolls (as well as their wontons) are home made and hand rolled there at the restaurant. The vegetarian egg rolls are my favorite as they are so light and not “heavy” feeling or greasy.
My favorite dishes are the Sweet & Sour Chicken with Vegetables and the Sesame Chicken (which is more of a non-spicy orange chicken).

I totally dug into this before I realized I should take a photo.
Cub has the giant chocolate cupcakes that are cream filled and have a familiar white swirl
of icing across the top…yep…they’re giant hostess cupcakes…but better!
I loves them! My sister bought me this one today, cause I was fixing her new PC.

I love pie. Not your apple, or cherry, or pumpkin (although they are good too). I like the more exotic, creamier pies. The fluffy-ness, the flavors. My favorite has always been Banana Cream Pie….but I have a new one.
I just love Festival Food’s Coconut Meringue Pie. They actually have a few different pies that I like, and typically they have single slices in their deli, of the pies they have in their baker. Except the Coconut!
I wish they would have a whole pie I could buy, but alas, I have to get the single servings. And, when I go in before work, there typically is only one there.
But its still very nummy. (I really want to know how they make the crust. Its so crumbly, like a graham cracker crust, but softer…like the soft crumbly-ness of brown sugar…but its not that….

I love my iPhone. It keeps a lot of things at my finger tips.
But, it also reminds me of all the crap I have to do. Just look at my To Do app…that isn’t just 10 items total. That’s just what I over do!
And, I have a lot of crap on my phone. See that line of dots above the last row? Those are pages that are full of apps, just like this page.
Now, just wait until I get an iPad too…(with 3G of course)

No power in my whole town…time to do some homework the old fashion way, with pen and paper.
