Hopefully you have all seen the movie Frozen and get the joke that Cuddles looks like a snowball, basking in the summer sun. The boys went for a sleepover with new friends, twin 12-year old boys. Their dad went so far as to go for an interview at our school, but they decided to go to the American School. Bummer.
What I am doing meanwhile is making beaded jewelry with friends.
This friend had been eying chunky jewelry in blue and orange on ETSY, so she knew exactly what she wanted.
Meanwhile, I have a new computer, a new camera and a new steam cleaner, all at once. You who know me know that I am NOT the early adopter, so this is a lot to figure out all at once. I took Troy´s camera to a photography class. I guess I was hoping for someone to know something about a photography club. The title of the class was ¨Get out of Auto,¨and it was exactly that: how to set the settings manually. The first thing the teacher said was, ¨I hope you brought your manuals.¨ I was thinking, ¨I am in class so I don´t have to read the manual.¨ I left the class very frustrated, never having budged those settings, and had to look it up in the manual. But this morning I figured it out and hopefully there will be good photos in the near future! My friend above had a ghastly green tint to her, and I already cleaned that up.
Wyatt took over my laptop for Minecraft, so Troy very kindly set up the Macbook Air for me. He is probably already regretting it, because he has to listen to me screech and complain every time I turn it on. Cut and paste? I have to look it up. Right click? I have to look it up. Screenshot? I have to look it up, plus I have to look up more stuff because I don´t understand the instructions.
The steam cleaner I would call a polisher, for after you have already cleaned. Troy thought it would make my life easier. And maybe it will, but it hasn´t yet. Instead of trying to CLEAN with it next Monday, cleaning day, I will have the boys mop the floors with it. That is actually what it is designed to do.
