For Liz’s birthday, she asked me if I would re-paint our living room.  I just bought a time-lapse remote and thought it was a good chance to test it out.  Sure does make 5-6 hours of work look like nothing.  I let Jameson help me put the video together this morning and he chose the music.  I think it works…

the cost of having kids…

is apparently up by over $60,000 from ten years ago.  Something in the neighborhood of $230K over the lifetime of the child.  Not sure what those figures include, but that number x3 for me = freaking out.  Haha…no wonder we never have any extra cash around…

It wasn’t too long ago I posted the gloriousness that is Chuck Testa.  Well now it turns out that the Autotune the News guys have spun it into a song.  Just when you think things can’t get any better…

We need more money (you and everyone else!)

I just saw the proposed school board levy increases that are on the ballot.  Like I want to give more money away to anyone right now, geez…

I did find this article in the DNT that gives more info on what is being asked of us.  If you’re a Duluthian, this is worth reading before you instantly default to a no-no-no vote.

And sorry for the quasi-political themes lately - I will go back to less boring stuff soon, I promise.   :)

Auto Correct

I’ve seen lots of auto-correct fails with the iPhone, and while I guess it helps me keep from making spelling errors, it also can make me sound really strange.

Yesterday I was trying to type “account” and missed the “n”.  It then corrected it to “accouterments”.   I mean, I guess I could have accidentally left off SEVEN letters.  Oh well, thanks to my phone for trying to save me time.  But it didn’t work, because it took me another couple of minutes to look up the word accouterments and see what it actually meant.  

Additional items of dress or equipment in case you are wondering.  Not unlike accessories or supporting items.  But sounds much cooler.  

Back to things that matter now…
