I had a load of blacks in the washer (yes, we have enough blacks for a load, heck, we have enough blacks for at least two loads, if not three), and I went to put them in the dryer but they still seemed really wet. So I put them on the spin cycle. The washer made a nasty "grrrrrrrrrrnk" noise, but nothing happened.
Crap.
Well, it was a big load, so, thinking perhaps I overloaded the old thing (hells bells, it was old when we bought it for 50 bucks eight years ago), I took out half and moved the knob back to the rinse/spin cycle. It started filling up with water. I took that as a good sign and walked away.
After about 5 minutes I realized that it wasn't doing anything.
Crap.
I walked over and lifted the lid. There sat the blacks. In a washer tub of water. Not moving. The occasional bubble burbling to the surface but nothing else.
Crap.
Hubby came over and fiddled with it. Nothing.
Crap.
"Well, honey, you know that money Mom sent for my birthday? She just bought us a new washer!"
CRAP.

So, this is HNT
Today is HNT, and I have to say I don't have any HNT pics for today. Maybe later. Right now the camera is in the car (along with my cell, good place for both, dontchathink?) and I don't feel like going to get it.
In lieu of HNT pics, I'm posting some of a wonderful sunset I saw on the 7th.
I this took while randomly pointing the camera out of the car window and driving at the same time. So I had no idea what the camera was pointing at, I just had it aimed in the general direction of the sunset and was hitting the shutter button. I love how this one came out even so. Very ghostly with the blurred branches and the sunset along the bottom edge.
Same exact thing as the first one. I was looking at it and Kidzilla came in and saw it and said, "Oooooh, how pretty!" I agree.
I quickly pulled off of the road as soon as there was enough free space to pull far enough off and have the car be safe. I ended up behind the airport across from the airfield from the buildings. That's our wee airport buildings and lights you see.
Same thing, just zoomed in on the darker part of the sunset.
Same thing, just towards the edge of the sunset where you can see more colors.
A far edge with pinks and purples.
I pulled all the way back on the zoom to get as broad a photo as possible (without changing my settings to panoramic, as it was I was already running late to something and my car is sitting on the side of the road running to boot, lol). This is the result.
All of these were resized to 35% of the actual image except the last one which is25%, but still larger than the rest, lol. I love my new camera! (even if I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, lol)

Today I Shall
Go visit my friend Steph at the hospital. She had her baby via C-section on Monday. A beautiful baby girl. Her name is Haley. I can't wait to see her. :-D It killed me not to be there (I got to be there for her first kid's delivery), but today is the first chance I've had to go. I'm going to stop and get some pink carnations on the way. :-)
Sign up for auditioning for stuff at church. I'm checking off the Ladies Sextet box, the Solo box, and the Instrumental box (I play alto sax and I've taught myself the Irish Tin Whistle). May back out of the Instrumental box. Haven't decided. I don't have any music to play (beyond a sax playbook from school and the learner's book for the tin whistle) and no time to find something and learn it by next Tuesday. Eh. If he doesn't mind something short and easy I'll play out of the books. Really I think he just wants to know how we sound, I doubt I even get to finish the song I'm going to sing for the audition. I'm auditioning for two reasons. One being I love to sing and play. Another being as much as I love both of those things I get terribly nervous doing it in front of people and I'm hoping by putting myself out there more I'll get over it, at least enough so that when I'm singing I don't have to hold the mic in both hands to keep it still. You think I'm kidding. I just hope I don't get nervous in the audition. :-P
Go to handbell and then choir practice.
Come home, put Kidzilla to bed, play WoW (in that order, lol). I made me a Tauren Hunter last night I want to run around with and play.

A Blatant Overuse of Parentheses
Hubby was having a "I am Fat" morning this morning.
So he was crabby and complainy about everything.
He came in the kitchen so I could "fix his shirt" (which is shorthand for "Can you check my gig line? And make sure I haven't tucked in my shirt all uneven?") griping Yet Again about how "fat" he is. Which he isn't. Which isn't to say he's not a little overweight, but he's Not Fat.
I said, "You know how you hate when I complain about the same thing over and over again?" (I mentioned it 'cause he mentioned last night about how he's tired of hearing me make snarky [my word, not his, I don't think he's ever said the word snarky] comments about my hair [he likes the way it is]...I stuck my tongue out at him)
(btw, I have one thing I mention more than once. ONE. Okay, maybe two, but That's It.)
He looked at me wondering where this was going. "Yeah..."
I looked him in the eye and said "WELCOME TO MY WORLD."

Mutiny, Mutiny, Mutiny
Sis M. did bring me food. It was very tasty and Very bad for me. :-D Good thing I only eat at BK about two or three time a year, lol. She hung around and ate with me and chatted. I left work at around 2 and spent the afternoon online with Sis B. Finally went to Wal-Mart (I'd been putting it off), and bought entirely too much stuff. Which always happens, lol. Came home, debated what we were having for dinner well past the point we should've been Eating it, and ate. Kidzilla is now in bed. I was going to play WoW with Hubby, but he's too crabby and called it quits after less than 5 minutes. He keeps talking over there at his computer like he wasn't just a complete butthead. I'm going to bed 'cause now I'm crabby beyond words. Yay. So much for that great mood I thought we were both in. Well, he's apparently still in it (on whatever plant he's on), but I'm not.
*rumble, rumble, rumble*
I came in early today. Which is fine. Yay for more pay! So, I didn't bring my lunch 'cause I would be able to go home and eat after work. However. I'm Not going to be getting off early like I was told I would and now I'm going to be here until 2 with no lunch. I can already feel myself getting crabby. :-P Hubby isn't in town so he can't bring me lunch.
Bah.
I want food!
Maybe I can talk Sis M. into bringing me something...
On a positive note I have an interview on Thursday at 10 with a lady that just opened a store over on Thoroughbred Square. I have no idea what they sell (I've thought about going by there and "shopping" just to see), but she needs someone to do Quickbooks and our accountant gave her my name (after asking me if she could). She wants to see if I think I'll be able to do what she needs me to do in the small amount of time I would be there. Her store opens at 10, but they get there at 9:30, so I would go in at 9:30 and leave at 11/11:15. I need to talk to my boss here about it to make sure he remembers okaying this sort of thing. He was here when our accountant asked me about it, I just want to remind him. Well, I just heard someone come in the store, I'm off!
