A Big Day Today

[kittytech]

Well, today should be a really cool day. I'm going to a meeting, but we're going to have some fun too. Every year we have this Christmas party, and get a massive turkey dinner with all the fixings. There's also a fund-raising auction and people bring all sorts of baked goods and other treats to be auctioned off, and the proceeds go to the organization; that is, the soon-to-be new Wisconsin affiliate of the ACB. This year I've made two pans of the brownies that I've written about in previous entries. I found a set of disposable pans with lids in the shape of Christmas trees, and I used those pans. Unfortunately, due to space limitations, when removing the first pan from the oven I accidentally crushed the bottom a little. I hope it won't make people think it's not good. I've got some bows that I'm going to put on top, and there's my contribution.

I did get the Olympus that I wanted for my birthday, (yes it's early, but we've never been able to wait for the actual day anyway), so I'm going to be bringing it with me today to capture some of what promises to be a great day. And, thanks to johnmill79 who posted an audio link on his journal and inadvertently gave me an idea for a place to actually post my audio, I'm going to be able to share this audio file with all of you too, if you're interested in listening. And now that I've got a digital recorder, I guess I can't put off that promised Podcast much longer either, huh? SMILE!

In other news, since I've been so bad about updating, everyone that I knew who was pregnant this year has given birth. I've gotten to actually see two of the four babies in question, and they're absolutely adorable! I've got pictures, but I won't be posting those to the web since I don't have permission from the parents to be doing that. Let's just say though that one of the babies was two weeks old when I held him and he was the tiniest little thing! At the time he was under 7 pounds, but he's gained since then, and those little hands and feet were just too cute!!!!!! He was born on Thanksgiving and I got a phone call not too long after the birth. I love holding babies, and I must have a way with them because 99 percent of the babies I hold fall asleep on me, and always seem content. I'm always up for baby-sitting jobs too. SMILE!

Well, not too much else is happening. I'm working like crazy, and have only one more week to go before a long weekend. Three days more of work and then another long weekend. You gotta love the holidays!

Well, I think I'm probably going to go for now. We're going to go get on the bus in a little under an hour, and I want to load up my Book Port with some extra audio stuff since we'll have about a two-hour ride ahead of us. Later everyone, and if all goes well you should have some audio sometime tomorrow!

Yeah, that site is pretty cool! I discovered via somebody else and am having fun with it. I'm going to get an Olympus someday. lol Does it matter which model you get, in terms of ability to use the thing?

I just got the one from LS&S that has the PC cable. It gives me 128 megs of memory which really isn't all that much, but it's something to start with anyway. I figured out how to get the PC transfer software to work the other night, and I had a friend go through the menus with me yesterday, and the menu always starts off with the same option so that helps. There are four recording options ranging from about 5 hours to 70 hours depending on the quality you want, and you can tell which folder you're in because they have a different sound for each one. Maybe I'll do an audio thing about that too at some point. I want to put up my stuff about yesterday too, so we'll see what happens.

Those things are cool! Wish I'd have asked to see it closer. Guess I was too interested in my good friend Mr. Al Cahol.

Had fun yesterday BTW.

Post your audio! I wanna hear, I wanna hear! Those brownies are from a package, right? What kind are they again? I want them!
So...since babies love you so much...when are you gonna have one of your own, hmmmm, hmmmm? I feel like I remember you saying you never would, but I could be making that up.

No, the brownies aren't from a mix. I wrote about some mix ones, but these aren't them. I'll post the recipe again for anyone who's interested. I think both pans, plus some other stuff that was bundled with them, went for over $40 a piece! I couldn't believe it. I didn't think of it, but I should have recorded some of the auction. It was great! I'll work on getting the audio posted.

Oh wait, I think I remember them. They're the ones with the graham cracker crumbs and condensed milk, right?

[kittytech.livejournal.com]

Yes, those are the ones. I tried some here at home too and used peanut butter chocolate chips. Those came out great!!!!!

Yummy! Sounds like it!
