Snowman Soup and other oddities

Today is going well... this morning wasn't so great, however. Jade woke me up about 4am with her barking (she wanted outside to go... at least she's pretty well potty-trained already). Then kept barking after I put her in the kennel until about 5, then I fell asleep until 630 or so, when she started barking again. I got up and let her out again, and though maybe I could sleep a little past 7, but no... then the cat decided to come in and pee all over the bed... After that... it can only get better, haha. Now I'm working on the devotions for the youth for next week, and printing up the labels for our present to the youth. Snowman Soup... consisting of hot chocolate, snowballs (marshmellows), a candy cane to stir the soup, and some hershey's kisses (never can get enough chocolate). Mmmm... Later today I'll go pick up a mattress from Kusel's... the wedding present from my parent's (a nice queen pillowtop...awww). Perhaps this afternoon the guy will come who's setting up the IP phones at the Church and parsonage... so tonight I might actually have a home phone to call on, and not waste cellular minutes, WooHoo! Yesterday evening I purchased a usb bluetooth dongle with the money that my Aunt gave me for Christmas, hoping that I would be able to surf the internet on my Zire 72 when someone else is using the computer. I came to find out, though, that the feature had been turned off in Mac OS X 10.4, unless I buy $40 software. Since a wireless card for the palm will be almost equal to the sum of the software and the bluetooth dongle, I'm taking it back and saving up (eventually) for a wifi card. Quite the frustration... although I found (through Palm Addicts) an awesome program (free even) called HandyShopper. It allows you to make lists for shopping by store, aisle, price, and you can use it for other to do lists and such. It is far more feature-rich than the built-in to-do list and I'm now using it for most everything. The best part for me is that it can save the items you shop for frequently (milk, cereal, eggs, etc.), so you can just add them to the lists if you need them again. I really like it. Sara's working at The Ledge right now, I'll go visit her this afternoon. She baked several cookies for the Youth Group Christmas Party tonight, she's awesome. Always a pleasure to have her company (which is most of the time now that we're married!!) Well, I better get back to work... later, Isaiah
