Oopsie doodle!

I neglected to update last night because we all packed up and headed to the theater! That's right, we saw a midnight showing of The Dark Knight, because we are incredible geeks.

Though it caused me to get to sleep much later than intended, it was worth every moment! I don't even feel guilty spending nearly $60 to take us all out! I wish we had been able to see it at the Imax, but we figured that they would be sold out by the time we got over there.

So anyway...

Yesterday's skill involved setting up the printer/scanner/copier/ice maker that came with our most recent computer system purchase. Though we have had it since march, it has lived in a box in our hallway. I took it out once, to see what kind of printer it was... and then I put it back in the hallway.

We spoke to a lender yesterday to see how much we can get approved for, and he needed copies of our 07 and 06 w2's, our last two pay stubs, and... something else.

Since it was too late to run them by his office, he said that we could just email them. Then I remembered that we have a scanner! When we got home, I popped it out of the box and hooked it up. This thing is so fancy that we will probably never use half of the functions.

my skill for today: taking some information I've learned over the last few weeks and putting it all together! I now know how to form simple sentences in american sign language.

My Husband is planning to enter a Guitar Hero contest at one of the nearby casinos tonight, so I came home early to cheer him on (at least, that's my excuse :P)

I should probably do some laundry with all of this extra time, or figure out what my next skill is going to be. Maybe I'll work on that tutorial that Hey You wanted...

Either way, gotta go. Thanks for reading!
