Ten for Tuesday

1. Sometimes I'm an idiot. Like when I spend all afternoon working on various files, and then I as I'm finishing up, I choose not to save the changes I've made to one of the files. Argh!

2. I like listening to audio books, but it really bugs me when they have mood music playing in the background. I shouldn't need background music to tell me that I'm listening to an emotionally intense, or sappy, or dramatic part of the book, or to try to evoke any emotion from me--the writing and language of the book should set the mood. If I'm going to have an emotional response to the book, it should be because of the text.

3. Razor likes bananas. When she was a puppy Razor really liked bananas, but after eating an entire banana (peel and all), she wasn't interested in them anymore. Well, a couple of weeks ago that all changed. All of a sudden she acts like bananas are as good as her jerky treats.

4. We got a new car. We hadn't planned to, but when we discovered that our clutch was having problems and that it was likely driving up our steep driveway everyday that was causing the problems, we decided to look into options other than replacing the clutch only to replace it again in a couple years. Thus, the new car. Basically, it's just like the old car, but it's an automatic instead of a stick shift.

5. Razor also likes apples. Tonight she happily took apple pieces even though I also had bacon.

6. Cher has been promoted to Head of Guest Services for our household. You should see the care she puts into ruffling the toilet paper. Not only that, but she'll even unroll the toilet paper for you, so the toilet paper is beautiful and ready to use without the hassle of being on the roll.

7. Marty has a test tomorrow. That means I've been banished to the upstairs while he focuses on studying downstairs.

8. Marty has an interview for the Masters of Accountancy program at NC State on Thursday. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

9 & 10. I have a new young woman in my Beehive class at church. On Sunday she talked to me about how she doesn't have scriptures. I told her I have some extras at home. When I got home and looked at the extra set I was thinking of, I realized that I'd forgotten how badly Razor had mangled the cover when she was in her puppy chewing everything stage. I needed to do some cosmetic enhancement.

I disassembled a little purse that I bought years ago on ebay and have never used, and from it I created this:

Awesome job with the scriptures! You are so sweet!
I also like listening to audio books. Considering how much I've been able to read just for fun over the past 7yrs and how much time I was spending in the kitchen while I began all of our canning and stuff, I started getting audio books to listen to while I did all my kitchen things. I love it! But like you I hate the music that they put on the discs even just at the beginning and end of each disc. ARG!!

That is really cute! You are so crafty, Sonnet. I wish you could come here and we could do something fun and crafty. Instead I just sit at my computski and read about others' craftiness!
