'This space left intentionally blank.'

Have I mentioned before that we don't have a TV?  Not simply that we don't have cable, we actually gave our TV away before we moved to Virginia.  First we tried using a spare computer monitor.  But when we hooked up my computer to watch a movie, I realized my laptop had the same size screen.  Why bother?  Alex gave us an old iMac monitor, turquoise and everything.  It has the AV hookups necessary to connect a VCR/PlayStation/Nintendo (yes, the old gray box), but only one at a time.  Which would be fine, except I no longer own the AV cables for any of the afore mentioned items.  When I first acquired them, I didn't have a fancy enough TV to have AV outlets, so I got RF switches to use instead.  I find them quite handy.  I can piggyback all the systems into the cable port on the TV.  Computer monitors don't have cable ports.  Oh well.  One day we may be able to have a real TV again.

Someone did give us a car.

I haven't seen it yet, but I've been told it's a 1990 Volvo wagon, with a 'Type R' sticker on the back.  I hope the previous owner was joking.  It apparently needs some work, but nothing too far out of Karl's scope.  It did pass inspection, and that's all we need to register it.  Just the other day I was saying how much I missed having a station wagon, and here we are.  Now if I could only find a job...

Anyways, while going through my box of cables I found a few CDRW's and a thumb drive I had been using in T-stan.  I had hoped one of them would contain the elusive blog I wrote while I was there.  The 10 page one I've mentioned previously.  But no.  The cd's were blank, and the thumb drive had pictures from my sisters wedding.    Oh, and pictures of Bayram when I first got him.


This isn't one of them.  Apparently those are still only on that thumb drive.  I should remedy that.  This is a picture from 2 months later.  He had already gotten a lot bigger by this time.  But he still looks so little in this picture compared to now. 

(Look! I added a picture!  I have no excuses anymore.  Well, except that all my pictures are now on an external hard drive.)

Still need ideas for Rally slogans.  I made a generic "poster" to put on the back of the shirts, but I want something sassy to put on the front.  Oh, and not just any t-shirts.  We tie-dyed some last weekend, and they came out awesome.  Part of me doesn't want to ruin it.  I was thinking 'Sanity is the new black'.  It's not original, I saw it on CafePress, but it would look funny on such a colorful shirt.   Funny ha-ha, not funny weird.  If anyone has ideas, let me know. 

Is anyone going?  Because it would be great to see you there.  If so, let me know, and maybe we can try and hook up.  You know I live only 20 miles away.

Can you tell I've run out of creative blog title ideas?

  1. I wouldn't mind seeing younger Bayram pictures if they ever surface. He was soooo small and cute!
