Awesome tip!

I just scored an awesome vintage watch at an estate sale... and somehow the little chain attached to it got a pretty gnarly knot in it. I was so bummed out because no matter what I did, I couldn't get that stinkin' knot out! Soooo... I did what I always do... run to the interwebs for help. =P

This is what I found from Yahoo Answers...


"Place the chain across the palm of your left hand with the knot in the middle of your palm. 

Place the index finger of your right hand over the knot, pressing down lightly and rubbing the knot in a counterclockwise direction. Keep it up until the knot loosens, then use a pin to draw the ends through."


It worked perfectly! I think I've got a couple of other chains I almost gave up on I'm gonna have to give "the treatment". (Yep, that's what it's called now. =D)

Here's the link to the Yahoo page in case you're interested...

So I found this online today... and thought it was worth a blog post. =) I love it.

Inner Strength

If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills, 
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, 
If you can resist complaining and boring people with
        your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful
        for it, 
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy
        to give you time, 

If you can overlook when people take things out on
        you when, through no fault of your own,
        something goes wrong, 
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit, 
If you can conquer tension without medical help, 
If you can relax without liquor, 
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, 
If you can do all these things, 

Then you are probably the family dog.

If Ken Were Real...

... Actually, it's more like if Ken was still plastic... but alive. Creeeeepy. =P

Sweet, Sweet Success

So... just by way of an update.

We got the Radiohead tickets!! =D

I was pretty ridiculous about it... they said that the presale would start in the morning on a particular date. So what else could I do but wait from 12 a.m. on... until they finally went on sale at 6:15 a.m.? I know, I could have gone to bed... but then I wouldn't have gotten tickets. In my book... it was way worth it. I mean, if I couldn't stay up all night for Radiohead, I wouldn't stay up all night for any band.

So on March 5th... we'll be doing something I've been wanting to do since I was 14 and heard OK Computer for the first time.

Ahh... so happy. =)
