Kristel's Blog

Decided to download a German Audiobook tonight.  HP is going so slow that I’m starting over and just ignoring the words I don’t know and pray that I manage to get through the book with enough understanding of what went on in the previous chapter.  So thought that an audiobook might just help with the [...]

You know that cream, beaded, super long, super easy to tangle, friggin’ annoying and quite frankly, a little smelly garland I have that’s been tangled since I bought it two years ago?  I untangled it today.  It took me 3 hours!  Thankfully, not straight, but still, combined… 3 HOURS!  I wound it onto an old [...]

Happy Birthday Gavin!  I know it was a couple days ago, but I’m wishing you now!
Hope you had a good one!
Here’s a sock-eating photo to tie you over until I see you!

Okay, two of the three were covered in yesturday’s post, mostly because I didn’t intend on writing one today, but…
It was totally awesome to see my Grandma play Mariokart.  Seriously, if you have Mariokart, go out, find yourself an old person (even 40+ will work… hilariously) and make them play.  It was sweet.  We had [...]

I’ve had such an influx of users, random, useless users that I can’t stand to leave the registration open anymore!  So if you want to register, let me know and I will add you.  Such a pain to keep deleting random users…
In regards to the poll, I probably should’ve cleared which weekends I am free.  [...]

So obviously, this post has been a long time coming.  Hopefully you all made some yummy meat loaf, and will forgive me for not publishing this post earlier.  (In case you’ve missed it, I’ve been working on this post, since well, Christmas, including when Michelle was here, and could’ve published it in several small parts, [...]

my patience, that blue ornament, oh, and my sanity?  well, after spending two (2!) hours trying to untangle the new garland i bought tonight, i decided it just wasn’t worth it.  it was only 4 cents short of $6 so if i use it for christmas cards, wrapping, decorating ornaments, maybe even to make napkin [...]

Okay, maybe not vigorously, but enough that I could get the a/c in.  It’s been out for weeks, and I was sick of looking at it.  So I put it away, and I look up — and see the Christmas tree.  Then I realize that if I don’t get it down now, I’ll have to [...]

Best Buy decided to give me a little birthday present today!  Okay, so it wasn’t really a birthday present… it wasn’t really a present at all actually.  Not the point.  So they called around 4:30, and after arguing with mum that they were open until 6, and not 5, and therefore we’d have the time [...]

Sure, I talked him into it… but I’m still thinking “oh dear god!”  He knows absolutely no html/php/css/etc. but in his mind it’s “that’s okay; Kristel does and she works for me and will make it look the way I want.”  I will, not complaining, but it’s still kinda funny because he tells me what [...]
