So as I have mentioned before, my husband has this magical power over electronics whereas I have the power to kill electronics. Evidently, all I had to do to get the radio fixed in my car was to take him for a drive and *poof*, it started working. Just like that.

With our powers combined….

As well, I decided instead of buying some new clothes (which I really need as I haven`t bought jeans or shirts in about a year or so and I`m starting to look a bit tatty) I would buy some music. And then I couldn`t decide what to buy. So, I bought a whole pile (online). I bought Ella Fitzgerald (x2 with Louis and the gang), Sara Bareilles (reminds me of Fiona Apple), Sheryl Crow (my fav) and Jack Johnson (his new one). My hubby was a little peeved that I bought a whole pile of music. But honestly, it is a whole lot cheaper than the big screen TV that he wants. And I bought some stuff that he would like. Don`t think I didn`t see him toe tapping away while he burned CDs so he could put the music on his laptop, oh, and his mp3 player.

Speaking of the music, it wouldn`t all download properly. I got around that, but then I ran up against the whole licenses problem which for whatever reason wasn`t letting me burn all of the songs to CD for a backup. So, I had hubby come over and of course the computer then acted perfectly fine. Oh well, I now have music everywhere I go.

I might just have to turn things up….

I think I am 10 for 10 now.

 That means 10 things (electronics or their associates that I have destroyed or somehow tripped up) in 10 days.

Yesterday I took out the turn signals in my car. I got in and they were gone. Not so good. I took out the radio a few days prior. I also put the final nail in my husband’s sattelite radio receiver over the weekend. My laptop, however, seems to be stable again. I’m not working on it though as I don’t fully trust it. Plus, once you have a huge monitor and surround sound, you can’t go back. Continuing along…the router had to be replaced. Dreamweaver is still glitching on me, but I mostly have my website up and going.

Speaking of breaking things, as I have been posting my archive blog postings, I have been sort of skimming them. This has sort of made me realise that I have trashed an awful lot of things over the year. I am hard on stuff. And I don’t mean to. I try to be gentle. Things just break. What’s a girl to do? I seriously considered finding a cliff for my car to ‘ooops’ slide over last night. (Not with me in it of course.) But I guess that this weekend I get to spend my time tinkering and fixing all the little things I’ve broken on the car lately. Either that or do taxes.
