I’ve been a “blogger” before there was a word blog. Eight years ago today I started writing on the internets in a direct commincation way. Blogging if you will. I can’t believe it. I’ve gone through 5 software platforms, in as many urls in that time. I find now, that’s easier for me to tun on the camera and RECORD a blog, rather than right one. It used to be a weirdo because I wrote a blog. Now i’d be normal if I JUST wrote one, instead of staring and producing my own vidoes each time. lol Anywho. I’m happy to be on the internets for the most part. I bet I’m still here in another 8 years!

i blog good?  not even. why do I even have this?

I didn’t have to work today. But, it WAS a Saturday, so that kinda makes sense.  LOL To be honest, i really can’t remember what I did on Saturday besides edit video, and sort of prepare for my show.  I was up at 6am though, I do remember that. Husband was teaching at the Far Far Away Campus today. He was home sooner than I’d expected, and that kinda bummed me out, cause I wanted some time to myself. I’m weird.

I did not work today. I will be working on Monday. I’m oddly excited by that. I got up at the normal time though, and got pretty, so I could film myself eating a cooking for my video. In the end, that video took me longer to edit that I thought it would. The Movie Wizard helped out a lot, but doing the voice overs was tricky. In the end I went with music from a way back choice. One of the first cooking videos I ever did was on Pumpkin Pie, and although the voice over suggestions are cringe worthy i still like that music. It’s by Kevin MacLeod, the original provider of free music for YouTubers. The first music I put into videos, that I made sure was copyright free, was his stuff. I like how it’s vaguely Halloweeny. I’m still trying to do a post a day. Seems like I get ONE post made on the day of, then I forget for a couple days. I think I”m just out of the habit. That’s and since I’m not working I’m trying to do sooo many other things. Like make a lot of videos.

The Full Recipe is on the YT page.

Again today I did not work. I called in at 9:30 to get the news. I went grocery shopping today at the newest store. It was CHEAP. I spent about 70 bucks and got a weeks worth. All off brand stuff, but so far, pretty tasty! I made sure to get the ingredients for making Chocolate No Bake Cookies. I was only going to 1 place, so I got imitation vanilla as that’s all they had. It’s not the best tastebud choice. Oh well. I cleaned up the kitchen and made the cookies. It’ll be better in chocolate chip cookies. I think we might make oatmeal, dried fruit, chocolate cookies/peanut butter balls instead. Sorry, with all this not working. I want to bake, and do things in the kitchen. Another thing that I bought was Salmon. I know it’ll be tasty eats, i just hope I get to cook it. Husband is the cooker usually, it’s hard to do things without his help, and in our tiny kitchen his help means, I’m out. (Like Kenely was on ProjectRunway!) The cookies are SOOO easy. I took pictures and filmed it. Ironically, husand’s help was, uhm, helpful. He did the cooking and I filmed it. I’ve found I shoot video better than husband. The cookies were ready in like half an hour - even though in the video it says an hour. (I like messing with people. People can’t wait anyway.) Husband used the spoon to clean the bowl (pan) while they were still warm. I plan, if I’m not working tomorrow, to film some bits of me eating cookies, and then finish up the video. Also, need to find the perfect piece of music.

I did not work today. This is the 4th workday in a row. I worked a full day last Wednesday - and a 1/2 day last Thursday. I am working on a Tube Addicts Reloaded Video for tomorrow. It’s almost done. It’s a tribute video. To all of the other Tube Addicts!

I went to try on some costumes today. I tried on a Valkaryie, a Cave Woman, a French Maid and a Sexy Dorothy. I think I have an idea for a “couples costume” with my husband. I saw a button that says “Sexiest Costume Winner.” He said he’ll wear it. I’m going to be the Maid, but with my own sort of Drag Queen twist. I think it’s a go, and I’ll only need to spend about 30 clams to do it. Also, I can wear my own comfortable black shoes! (It’s sexy up top, but I’m gonna pants under the skirt, otherwise people might get more than they ever bargained for.)

I might work tomorrow. I doubt it. But I’m supposed to call in at 9:30. Let’s all keep our fingers crosses!

I did not work today. I did get all the bills paid, and I mailed my husband absentee ballot.

After the class I stopped at CVS - it’s like my favorite store. I needed to get some FHG, and some padded envelopes to mail some CD’s to people. I also got a WICKED flashlight! it was only 10 bucks. It’s like a little teal maglite knockoff. I have wanted a flashlight for my bag for a while now, and when I saw those little things….Yeah. I am trying to find a way to get it into a video!

I did not work today. I did TRY to pay the bills, but since it was a bank holiday - Columbus Day - I wasn’t able to do that. I just kinda hung out and edited video. Then I had my show. It was a good show - small talkative crowd. I found a couple videos that were way too long though. I need to get a good stash downloaded. So I’m not trying to find new ones every week.

(why yes, I am late. and yes, this is more for my own records than being at all entertaining or interesting.)

With this entry, I’ve caught up. I am actually writing this today, on Sunday the 12th of October.
The Sat Night Dinner was quite lovely. We had over baked chicken, mashed taters, spinach salad, and a home made gravy. There was also bread, and then we had chocolate fondue for dessert. There were actually two kinds - dark chocolate, and then white chocolate/peanut butter. I prefer the dark chocolate and on the pound cake. There were strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and pineapple too! The dinner got started later than we’d thought, and it ran long. I didn’t make it back in time to do my regular Sat Night Luka Show. What we didn’t have - was car trouble. Thank goodness! It started fine, and we got all the way to the dinner and back with no problems. Even went stopped at the grocery store, and on the way home the library with the lights on n everything.
I guess it’s Gremlins. Still freaks me out, cause while it was fine today, it might not be fine tomorrow.

Last night husband went out to grocery store to get steak and he had some car trouble. He said that when he first got into the car it wouldn’t start. He said that he wiggled some of the fuses and then it started. He got to the store. On the way home, every time he’d come to a complete stop it would die. When he got home, and told me, it really bummed me out. We can’t afford something to be seriously wrong with the car. This morning I went to check the car -and it was fine. Started right away, and I was able to back it out, back into the spot with no problems. The clock was still wrong, but I know how to fix that.

We’re going to Saturday Night Dinner tonight. It was supposed to do be fondue, but there’s too many people for that. Instead we were told to bring Cream Cheese, Sour Cream and 5lbs of red taters. So that’s what we’ll bring.
