Adventures With Gadgets

Shelley is feeling better. Well, except for the fact that she turns thirty today. :) Happy birthday to my sister-in-law.

Yesterday afternoon, I had another one of Life's Little Surprises -- Aunt Flo returned.

The human body is an amazing thing. After all of the chaos my body went through in October, it's now doing a normal thing after all of the shouting is over.

Mind you, my body isn't all that much. Well, I mean there's a -lot- of it -- unfortunately -- but it's all kind of assembled in an average way.

It's just behaving itself now. Let's see how long that lasts.

So. I've taken the plunge and bought myself a new gadget that I know absolutely nothing about. It's just time for me to learn something new. I can't stand stagnation; so this is something I'm looking forward to.

About two weeks ago, P@ul Schu!tz told me about these things called Astro Jax. Apparently they are these three-balled contraptions that are distant cousins of yo-yos. I can do almost all of the regular yo-yo tricks, and I need to find something that will get me out of this chair but not out into the weather where all the nice mold spores live.

This is scheduled to be a Good Thing.

Unless I bust the living room window.

Again.

Anyway, Paul's got a few up on eBay, if you wanna go look. I've listed the 'search by seller' option here, so you can see if he's got anything else you want.

Yesterday morning, I took our new waffle iron out of the box, read the instructions carefully, prepared the new surface, plugged it in and waited for it to warm up, and made the batter.

The new waffle iron then quit, immediately after I poured the batter into the molds. Grrrr.

So I'm looking for a good replacement. Any recommendations? I like regular waffles as opposed to Belgian, and I'm not opposed to those heart-shaped molds.

It's foggy today out here.

So am I. :)

LOL Maybe more later after I've had caffeine.

Maybe I should just go get some of this.
