New car for the new year…

January 25, 2007 at 3:05 pm · Filed under Cars, Life

Ok, so you all know I have this thing with buying cars… but this is my last one… for real! Well, at least until it dies on me. It is a 2007 Toyota 4Runner 2WD V6 Sport Edition in Galactic Gray Mica. I love it! I have really missed having an SUV since I got rid of my Explorer. It’s perfect…

I can’t believe 2007 is here… I guess time really does fly when you get to be an old lady! I have been too busy/lazy to keep this thing updated… here are some updates on what has been going on, new toys, and what is coming up!

Chloe’s First Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

September 17, 2006 at 4:08 pm · Filed under Baking & Decorating, Family, Life

Yesterday, my niece Chloe had her first birthday party! She is going to be one on 9/21 - wow, time flies!! Here is the mini-stacked cake and cupcakes I made for her party. The cake is actually violet (or periwinkle, as Emily insisted), but there was a blue cover over the party area, so there is a little blue cast to it all. The cake was 6″ on bottom, 3″ on top, and was strawberry. The cupcakes were chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, and had hand-formed (thanks to Emily) fondant hearts on top.

PC/Express Cards for Sale

We’re doing some cleaning around here… these are for sale if anyone is interested… all are in fine condition as far as I know… we just have no use for them since my Macbook Pro only supports Express/34 (click: about Express Cards).

Outrageous Memory Prices

July 27, 2006 at 10:42 pm · Filed under Geek

Alright, so I did give in to the whole “it looks so cute, and it’s so cool” thing Apple has going on… but how in the hell could they get away with charging so much for RAM? I got 2 GB for about $170 and it works just dandy… where do they get off charging $600?! For machines that take up to 4 GB you can shell out $2600 for some “so cute and so cool” memory…
