This is a post about nothing, but I haven’t posted in days and felt guilty.
I bought this suncatcher in New Mexico last Sunday. Wood, glass, and tiny mirrors. It’s hanging outside in our courtyard and Buck nearly had a conniption when he saw that I put it up with a cup hook. Cup hooks puncturing his lovingly-painted-anything upset him beyond belief. I have since promised to never hang anything ever again “without discussing it” with him first.
In related news, Paul (our future son-in-law) purchased a very Wild West cow skull while we were in New Mexico, a little something to remember the Southwest while he and Cody are home in Boston. Here, Buck poses with the cow skull so that Studio Bob could get a look at it while they chatted on the phone about the song Eight Miles High, which I sang to them so they could re-live their hippie days. I didn’t know any of the words beyond “eight miles high” however, so they sang it to me instead.
And RIGHT HERE is where I was going to insert the song so you could step back in time and listen to Eight Miles High (the Byrds version, not mine or theirs) yourself, but I spent about an hour trying to upload it and finally gave up. I have the upgrade on WordPress so space isn’t the problem, and I have a legal copy of Eight Miles High on my computer, and I still can’t do it. It’s very frustrating when WordPress tells you you can do something, and then you’re unable to. Does anyone have EASY instructions on how to upload a song to a post? I asked on the Forums and someone said I need the WP Audio Player. Where the hell is that thing and how do you install it?
Welcome back! I’ve missed you! I still need your address so I can send you that thing I made for you!!! It’s for your not-so-new anymore Green & Red room. Or sage & burnt clay colored room…
@ Dragonfly – Hi Aimee! I’ve been working, still am, and I haven’t been to the post office either, but I do have some pans and cooking stuff for you. I’ll email you my mailing address. 🙂
Do you use Windows Live Writer? Somehow I thought you did. Everything is easier for blogging using that, at least that’s what I think. WordPress UI is not so usable, methinks, and kind of klunky. But Windows Live Writer rocks.
Love that suncatcher! Do they come in pink? (or I’d take anything to match my cool new office digs.) LOL.
@ Little Miss – I do use Windows Live Writer, but I don’t think I can insert music…actually I don’t know. I may try tomorrow. I’ve also got some info about using an online music storage thing. I really don’t understand the whole music uploading and when I finish working on this issue later this week I’ll have to research it.
The suncatcher people might have pink, I don’t know because I got the last one. I plan to go back in a week or so and look for more. I know they’ve got different colors and shapes, I just didn’t get to see any of them. 😦
I love the sun catcher but I probably could do without the skull, though Buck looks very cool holding it.
I remember the song “8 Miles high” but like you those are the only words I remember to it. I usually just upload you tube videos of songs because I can’t figure out the audio thing either.
The thing about the skull is that once we had it in the house, Buck and I decided we want one too. It sounds weird, but it actually goes with our decor. It wouldn’t really play on Cape Cod, though.
I checked Windows Live Writer and I don’t think it inserts music either, unless it’s a plug in. I can help you research later, if you like, or if you don’t figure it out yourself first.
Thanks. 🙂 I’m sort of figuring it out (while I’m working, lol), but I’ll spend more time on it after my work deadline.
When will that skull be arriving anyhow…
I’ll probably go to the PO tomorrow. I’ve just been buried in work, napping, catching up on Denise Richards, etc.
