ok i take it back!

I take it all back... the new computer is here yay! and i just finished putting it all together, horray! and now im doing the slow process of putting over alot of my B-I-G files and downloading stuff i need to install on the new computer..
this is how things happened:
1) i heard the garbage collector finally at 2pm doing our street (it does the other side of the road mind you at like 8am! or something)
2) i decide to go out. change out of trackies i wear around the house into jeans..
3) waiting around for little miss to get her sandals on (and not her shoes as i dont want to wait around for another 30mins)
4) a knock at the door, that i swore was going to be a druggy wanting to know what happened to the druggy/sex worker next door who left 2 months or more ago.. BUT
it was a courier.. and boxes with dell written on it.. come on dude.. dont mind how my 4 year old has spread her paper all over the floor.. its art, ok? no seriously dont pick up after my 4year old.. just leave the boxes on the ground.. argh!
so i ring hubby and tell him im going out.. and he is like what? no! and i said u went off at me yesterday coz u r the one who always goes down the road to get milk.. oh, ok.. sure.. why be suprised? i can walk down the road.. ^^
so as usual something happens as i try to leave the house, had i tried to leave earlier we would have had to fork out another $50 or so to get it delivered again just from the depo ><

i found the packaging interesting... im glad the bag doesnt contain that strange bag person and a bag baby... but why warn me of whats not in the bag? or do i keep this away from the bag people? jus jishing-ya

post damn u

*i keep gettin errors trying to post this*
i think im going to be like stuck mostly at home all week, while the online delivery time estimator makes up its mind. It has said it would be today for a few days now and only this morning it gets changed to a weeks time! they can process the order, make and fly it in 4 days and yet its going to take a week to be delivered by a local courier.. and no doubt if i dont lock myself at home they will ring and i wont be home and then it will be another day of waiting.
i cant help being impatient, im tired of my laptop with no grunt, balls whatever u wanna call it.

Have u seen the latest target catologue? oh they have new spiffy exercise equipment, they look kinda funky too...

hmm, black ops on china planes now? hmm what next. did u hear that one of the factories responsible for the lead paint mattel accident actually committed suicide? my point? China is the biggest threat to USA. If USA goes under, China will buy it out. :( Have you not been paying attention to all the mumble jumble economy stuff of the past year or 2? *silly rant over*

*goes off to plan this weeks dinners*
(otherwise it will be 5am and im like oh no what am i cooking for dinner?!)

like my pancake?

i had been cooking breakfast for hubby last week and tested my hmm luck? at making pancakes without measuring ingrediants but of course knowing what i need: 1 egg, sugar, flour, milk. i bought a cheap mix awhile back (mainly for the bottle) so i have been storing leftover pancake mix made-up in the bottle ^^ oh and now im adding protein powder to almost everything i bake.

my 5cents on current politics.. so rudd had drinks at a gentlemens club cant remember what happened.. the only reason it comes out now? coz the government are still struggling at the polls despite tax cuts and promising to keep interest rates low at the last election and then it turns out afterwards that they have very little control over the interest rates and arent helping inflation with tax cuts etc.. *rolls eyes*

Today is monday which means:
we have been gradually getting kitchen-stuff and it had been just put on the bench, since i dont like the old cupboards. today i cleaned the cupboards, organized all this stuff craft, tools, cleaning products, phone books, plates, tupperware and pots... its like a new kitchen in there, everything organized and tidy! Ive cleaned up the dust that piles up on the tv (absolute dust magnet), ive cleaned up hubbys desk, wiped off greasy tia hand prints on cupboards and walls, vacuumed and changed the spot where i put all the 'recycling trash'.

Its almost the end of winter, i can see spring in some places, but nights and mornings are still absolutely freezing! its noon and im watching dr phil and a 5'2 tall 500pound woman talk while shivering.. and we have crap tv reception here and im noticing this scrolling transparency 'CONWA' on the screen.. how weird.. its only noticeable when the picture is dark..

So i made the DIY meal replacement shake. and i have some tips:
1) either get the biggest bucket tupperware or halve, quarter the recipe so you can a) mix the recipe b) store it!
2) go with metamucil, yes its $20 and the stuff in the food aisle is $7, but i imagine metamucil actually dissolves rather than absorbs and goes all foamy.. bleh
3) dont go with the cheap cocoa. i thought i had learnt my lesson before, i have now. never buy cheap cocoa. Its poor in comparison.
4) if you make it wrong, or too much or decide you no longer want to use it for shakes. add some butter/marg, sugar, a egg and some flour and you got a chocolate cake! (a filling meal replacement cake lol!)

dell countdown

a crappy day

im having one of those days..
starts of with disturbing dreams followed by pms, then i cant find my atm card, get pee-ed of hubby(he had my card), treat him bad, pisses him off (which upsets me), go to see him and pick up my card, walk to the shops thinking a good shop will make me feel better, the atm says my pin is wrong and eats my card, have no money so its back home again trying not to burst into tears the whole way home.

on a good note. we ordered our dell box last night. a nice pc, 2.0 dual processor, 3gig ram, 150-300gig hardrive, lcd flatscreen monitor, xp, etc etc a lil graphics card i think 256? geforce. (but we can always upgrade when we have money again.. )costed around 1.3k and considering it comes with the screen i think thats a good deal. and the plus to buying with dell is that:
1) its not a pokey little shop that will close down the next week or year..
2) you pay for good service, they replace anything or come out and fix it. how good is that!
3) you get to be lazy and have someone else install everything and put it together and deliver it.

Im cringing! watching Bindi the jungle girl and she is playing around with a leech.. oh creepy. yes lets all go play with leeches.. aren't they jus the cutest?! *aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
